FEL questions L2950

[Dogfarm]

I recently acquired a 1992 L2950. I have questions about the FEL pivots, the bushing are worn. Is there a fix for this?
The base of the joystick pops apart, The ball falls out of the ring around it. Therefore no bucket control for tilting up or down. Is there some sort of fastener on the end of the ball? Looks like a rod or threaded shaft came out the ball but is broken off? I would like to order the parts but I dont have the parts voc[/ATTACH]abulary to search properly.
My first time posting here. The pic attachments in preview post look to be randomly placed. Mel

Joystick rod ends are available, go to http://www.kubota.com/part/partsList.aspx and agree to terms an put in your loader number and look at the list of parts and diagrams.
I haven't had a look, but bushes may or may not be available from kubota depending on model, and may need to be sourced by a welding shop, fair bit of work there......
Looks like corrosion from the top, has this been used in a chicken/turkey operation or chemical works? No lube as well.

First thing you need to do is find out which loader you have, the tractor is a L2950, but the loader is something like a LA450A
The ball joint should be P/N 75540-62260

As far as the bushings, your either going to have to make them yourself or have a shop do it.

Also if you don't have the WSM (aka shop manual) go here and download it.

100 td-I don't know how it was used. It does have rust which I believed was mostly due to being from a coastal area. I'm curious how chicken/turkeys are hard on tractors? I now realize the fel must not have been lubed very often.
North Idaho Wolfman, thanks for the WSM link, though mine is a manual trans.
How do I tell if it is a wet or dry clutch?
Oh,my...looks like the bushings are gonna be project!

The Manual cover is misleading, it does cover the DT clutch and transmission, everything else is the same.
So yes it covers your L2950DT
You most likely either have a dry single or dry dual clutch.
If you had a L2950DT-WET (wet clutch) it will have the EC (Ever Clutch) in big bold letters on the tractor.
If you give me the serial # I might be able to tell you exactly what it has.

WSM is going to be a great help. Serial # L2950D-51539 and there isn't any ECs on the tractor. I couldn't make out the serial # so I tried my cell phone to photograph the scratched up plate. Does so much better than my fuzzy vision Any info on this tractor would be appreciated!

Use of tractors in cleaning of chicken/turkey sheds means a build up of bird excrement dust on top of everything which then corrodes, it looks like corrosion has started on the top of your pins, but may have been from the salty environment you mentioned. Lack of lube is also very evident.
My tractor came from a turkey farm..........
