    Hydraulic Oil (don't hate)

    Well... maybe I need to try a different oil. The Mystik looks interesting but both places I see online have ridiculous shipping times. The Ebay one is Aug 29 to Sept 6 and the Zoro one says item won't ship for 17 days. I guess I'll try the Rotella Hydraulic oil at TSC since they have it in...

    Hydraulic Oil (don't hate)

    It's funny you say that because Mystik JT-5 is $99 for 5 gal where I live. We can buy "Super Trac Tractor Hydraulic Transmission Fluid" or "NAPA Tractor Hydraulic & Transmission Fluid" for about $35. That's an attractive price when you have an implement like the 16 foot bat wing bush-Hog that...

    Hydraulic Oil (don't hate)

    Thanks Wolfman... that's what I thought but being new to Kubota I wasn't sure if they used some synthetic plastic or nylon gear or something crazy like that in there. My parts book didn't show anything odd but I didn't want to take a chance. I really appreciate your help, Tony

What ultimately worked was turning the steering wheel a tiny bit and very lightly easing out on the clutch.... it snapped right out of 4WD. When I needed to go back to 4WD I applied steady upward pressure and eased off...

    L2900 Stuck in 4WD

    Thanks for the replies.. I intend to do some work on the tractor this weekend and will try your suggestion. I think I may go out and soak the shaft at the case with some PB this afternoon so it can have all night to work. I'm having some hydraulic issues that I need to work out and the glow...

    L2900 Stuck in 4WD

    This is my first post to the forum even though I've been reading it for a long time while working on other tractors. I just bought a L2900 with 4WD and the lever is stuck in the 4WD position. Is there some trick to get it to move? The owners manual just says to pull it up or push it down but...
