    I would get one of the large washer shaped magnets which fit inside the rim of the hydraulic filter. Change the filter and fluid and remove the filter every few hours and check and see what the magnet has caught. My PTO would not disconnect when I bought my L2900 last summer. When I removed the...

    is magnet needed in hydraulic filter?

    I don't think the magnet will fit into the Napa filter. After I bought my tractor I changed all the fluids and filters. I bought a Napa filter which I thought was going to be cheaper than the Kubota one. The Kubota filter which was on the tractor had a magnet on the inside edge. When I tried to...

    PTO will not disengage

    I'm not sure if your tractor is similar to my L2900 or not. My pto does not disengage either. In the pto clutch there is a snap ring which holds one side of the clutch against the spring and keeps the two halves apart. The snap ring broke in half and the two halves of the clutch are constantly...

    What are High Hours for a Kubota tractor?

    I bought a used L2900 tractor with 1700 hrs this summer. The seller said that he was the only owner and the tractor was in good mechanical condition. It started and ran like new. I immediately changed all the filters and fluids. Because of the rusted outside of the filters and the very dirty...

    No power at glow plug when connected

    I had a similar problem with my L2900 tractor. Try disconnecting the copper strip which connects to the top of the 3 glow plugs. Take steel wool or light sandpaper and go over it until it shines like a new penny. Also do the top connector on the glow plugs. Replace it and see if that solved the...

    Everything electric on L2900 tractor is dead

    Is there a Kubota dealer nearby? If there is see if you can talk to one of the mechanics for a couple of minute. He can probably give you a list of two or three things which can cause your problem, and how to check them.

    Everything electric on L2900 tractor is dead

    Hi Jim, Have you checked the ground where the neg. terminal from the battery connects to the tractor. That was my problem. It did not make good connection. Disconnect the terminal and sand ( or grind) the paint away where the bolt connects to the tractor frame. Use a new bolt and nut and see...

    Weak hydraulics in FEL

    I recently bought a 1996 L2900 tractor with a backhoe and loader (1707 hrs). When I try to pick up a load of dirt from a pile, I have trouble lifting it up with the loader. The curl and lift both seem weak. In order to pick up the load, I have to back up the tractor a couple inches to take the...

    Everything electric on L2900 tractor is dead

    You guys hit it on the nose. I had installed a new neg. battery cable and had drilled a hole through the frame so I would have a good ground. What I didn't do was grind down to the bare metal around the hole. I remove the bolt and cable and ground around the hole until I could see the bare...

    I always turn the key off. Also, there is a PTO and Shuttle Shift safety switches. I have checked both of them. The tractor is a 1994 L2900 with the Glide Transmission.

    Everything electric on L2900 tractor is dead

    The battery is almost new. I'm 99% sure that it is not the battery. I have been going over the wiring diagrams again and again, and I keep coming back to the ignition switch. That is the only thing I can find which can disable all the lights, gauges, and starter. When I found the 9 1/2 volts on...

    Everything electric on L2900 tractor is dead

    I have a L2900 4-wheel tractor that I purchased a couple of weeks ago. It has worked perfectly until this morning. I was moving some dirt using the loader when I stopped for lunch. I turned the tractor off and went inside to eat. When I can out I turned the key on and tried to start the tractor...
