    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    $1200 sounds ridiculous. What exactly did they do? I was distracted. Gonna try to finish mine this weekend.

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    And it definitely has C-clip rings on the flanges that are not on any diagram. Plus the original seals have been superceded by new part numbers that is not in any parts diagram for any L2650 model or the WSM. I'm guessing they had too many customers with leaks and changed the parts but never...

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    Now to figure out how to get the new gaskets and o-rings into the flange... Kubota sucked with their WSM guidance 30 years ago. They were definitely missing a few steps.

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    Sorry for the delay in replying but finally got it done with a whole bunch of whacking today. Then I couldn’t get the other side off at the end of the rod. Finally had to heat it up and use a steel pipe for leverage on a pipe wrench to get it done. it looks like the snap on retainer is really...

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    I used my pick set. It won’t budge or slide. Added more PB Blaster. I’m not seeing anything on the cylinder or rod. what does that bolt in the center (Ribeye’s pic) between the two flanges do? I can’t see behind it.

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    Ignore the fact the rod is pushed in until it stopped. My issue now is what looks like a snap ring on the flange except I can't get it out. It doesn't have the little holes for a snap ring pliers. I'm assuming I have to take this off to get the rod out. I was thinking it was rusted but I...

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    Gonna give it a try and see if I can get it out. Once you were clear of the pin did the flange slide off? I bought the seals individually. I wish they did have a kit but our model is so old. I thought about buying a complete cylinder but good luck in finding that anywhere. I also wish the...

    And you're right -- The WSM sucks on this procedure.

    L2650 Steering cylinder removal?

    I'm doing the exact same thing on my L2650 so good timing! Now that I know there are pins there I can go back to finishing the job. Did you physically need to remove the pins? Or was there enough room to clear once you popped the flange? Also, what did you do about the special tool needed...

    L2650 Steering Cylinder Rebuild/Repair

    Same issue here with leaking at the steering seal(s), but I went to the WSM and it says I need a special tool to either change the sterring cylinder seal or to seal it back up (manual not clear). Do I really need a special tool after I take off the four bolts holding the cylinder on to the...

    L3200DT Buying Advice

    I have a L3200DT with a finishing mower I bought three years ago and paid 10,000. The guy I bought it from had over 20 people come look at but without a front loader everyone passed. I didn’t need a loader because my old L2650DT had one if I needed it. (PTO broke and I don’t have the time...

    Black stuff in fuel filter

    I did as you suggested using a clean pesticide sprayer. I believe I was able to coat the walls well enough. I then drained it again and blew tons of air through it and nothing more is coming out. I refilled it with a new tank of fuel to the cap and 2 oz of Biokleen. Possibly more than...

    L3200 Tachometer/hour meter not working

    I have access to the WSM. The issue I’m having is it only mentions the instrument panel end of the cable. I can’t find any reference to the other end and where it goes. It is probably obvious if I start pulling the body parts off, but I was hoping I didn’t have to do that. Thanks for the...

    L3200 Tachometer/hour meter not working

    The WSM only talks about where the hour-meter cable is hooked up behind the panel. It doesn’t show where the other end of the tach/hour meter cable goes on the engine. Does anyone have a picture of where the non-instrument panel end goes in the engine of a L3200DT? Sent from my iPad using...
