What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Mike_B]

A couple of days after the fact but did the 250 hr service this past Sunday, with some other pm items added. Actually I only supervised my 15 year old son doing the work. He also did oil changes on 3 vehicles,. Priceless education for him & priceless father son teaching time for me. With a side of relaxation!

cut gras for last time this season- taking off mower deck to clean, sand, paint and put away. putting on hydraulic snow plow. HOW DO I TAKE OFF THE HYDRAULIC CUP/COVERS? one sticks when cold and it either rusty or has water in it. Cant get it off- don't want to break it

I picked up a "new to me" 5100 in the heavy rain last night. After work tonight, I started it for the first time and figured out (after reviewing the manual) how to get it to move. Loaded and hauled some stone for the retaining wall.

Spread 30 bags of wheat seed on my pastures.

Put this winter's wood away (7-8 cords). I'm glad were done. Whew.
First pic is from this past August while splitting and then as we went beginning yesterday and finishing today.

Bought my L3800HST this past April with 70 hours on it. She needed a home fitting of her so a new shop was in order. Took one bay of my pole barn, a little concrete, walls, insulation, roof, heater and associated tools in one place for doing regular maint on all my "toys". Spent most of the summer cleaning up a 150 Pine tree pile that I had pushed up with a dozer, lots of burning, repiling, seperating and so forth. Got all done and had a huge pile of dirt, hey why don't we build on the pole barn! Over two months hauled all the dirt required to build up the pad for the addition. So, I thought getting that project completed it was time to mention what a valuable asset she has come to the operation. BTW - just did the 200 hour maintenance, so 130 hours since end of April. Wished I had bought one sooner!

Did the big maintenance on the BX last Thursday. With 722 hours and an unknown maintenance history, thought I should do it. Should have done it sooner. I don't believe the screen has ever been cleaned for the hyd. I did oil and filter, both fuel filters, air filter, checked the front diff/axle, new hydraulic fluid, filter and cleaned the screen. Also installed the block heater I bought for it last year and fresh coolant. Removed the muffler, made it a lot easier. A grease and wash followed. Than the cab went on.

 

[Skip44]

Is that metal on the screen and I wounder where the o-ring goes?

Skip

 

[84cj]

Yup, mostly metal. O rings are on the hose that's sandwiched between the screen housing and case.

Cut drainage ditches on about 4500 feet of our drive. Then cleared a tree down in our creek. Gave the Husky chainsaw and me a workout.


My b2650 made it easy, except for the sawing. Loaded the cut logs up on the trailer and pulled back to the house. Once I split, I'll probably have 2 cords of wood.

Well today was the fall service/checkup for the L275. It got a good looking over before I steam cleaned it and again after. Found that the steering gear box was leaning. After its bath I made a new gasket for the steering and refilled it with grease. Checked and adjusted all the tires for correct psi. Checked the lights, changed the oil and filter, gently blew the air filter clean, checked the hydro level, inspected all hoses, checked all linkage for proper adjustment, blew the radiator fins clean, changed the coolant, greased all fittings, reset the necking knob, replaced compression release cable, and maybe a few other things that I have forgotten. Should be all set for the winter.

Wow, very thorough. Want to do mine next?

 

[Daren Todd]

Your making me look lazy. Changed the oil and filters and changed the headlights to led's. The old sockets had worn out due to old age

Daren, how did you mount the lights? Did you have to modify the existing metal any?

 

[CJN8]

Kubota b7200 hst

1. Re-sealed the PTO
2. Re-sealed the hydraulic piston on the 3 point hitch, polished out the nicks and scratches on the piston/bore, should not leak down any more
3. Installed new headlights
4. Changed the HST screen, it was corroded and plugged
5. Previous owner welded the 1640 QA loader into the loader pockets on the tractor so it could not detach, cut the welds and made it a QA again
6. Disassembled and cleaned/lubed the linkage on the loader valve, works like new now

Next week I will be re-packing the lift and curl cylinders on the loader, I am determined to fix all the leaks

It's easier to show. It was a fog light kit for a car. Just drilled a couple holes in the mounting brackets that came with the lights and replaced the screws that held the lens in place with the slightly bigger ones that came in the kit. Took about 1/2 an hour. I used some door gaskets from an old truck to trim around the lights.

Mowed for the last time this season. Removed MMM, washed and waxed. Installed FEL and washed and waxed the tractor.

Every time I read something like this, I gotta wonder- What in the world was the previous owner thinking?

Today I shimmed my PRV to bump the pressure up from 2400PSI to 2700PSI.
I wanted to improve the lift capacity with my forks. I know the max. lift before the change and hope to determine the difference in the next couple of days.
I also filled the rear tires with 26 Gal. of Windshield fluid.
