I have a L4240 HST with LA854 loader. Kubota put 10x16.5 NHS tires on front, but with this big loader, the 10" wide tires are just plain wimpy. I want to put 12x16.5 NHS tires on the front but that increases the diameter from ~31" to ~33". Is there a way other than switching the front axel hydraulics to synchronize the larger tires with the rear tires when in 4wd?

You can safely push the back rims out 6" on the rears, the bearings and axles are designed for that.
You can't change the front ratio there are not parts available to do that.

Thank you, I have not figured out how this site works yet. After you said I could push the rims out it occurred to me that I think I have seen tractors with wheels where the rim center disk could be reversed to change the tread width. My wheels are welded. But I still have not found the wheel for a bigger tire and my dealer does not have the patience to look thru Kubota parts list to find a compatible wheel. So, your help has given me another avenue. I'm going to take your information and find any other tire sizes (that any mfg makes) that have the proper rolling circumference. Then go to my dealer and ask which Kubotas use that or those tire sizes. Hopefully the dealer can look up tires and cross reference someway to a Kubota model. Maybe that may lead to a compatible wheel (with removable center disk or some offset) for my rear axle. I think you have been more help than a pile of commentors. Thanks again. I'll let you know in a few weeks what I have found.
I have a BX 2380.. When I bought a new oil filter to change oil, they gave me a smaller size filter than what was on the tractor (I bought new so no one put a different one on). So I went to an on line service and ordered another oil filter thinking the 1st place just gave me the wrong one. The 2nd place gave me the same exact one. Why is the replacement smaller than the original. I'll need 2 different oil filter wrenches. One to remove the first time, and a smaller one when I change oil again. Any thoughts??
New to this forum, so I'm not sure how PMs work. If you would care to send me a parts manual, you can do so at rsitruss@yahoo.com

2004 Kubota L3410HST hydraulic fluid level: My first entry here :) Enjoying life with a tractor so far but I can't find the sight window to check the hydraulic fluid level anywhere. Help please! It's not under the seat.
Thank you for letting me post my question.
Upon putting my snow blower into summer storage my 3 point hitch no longer worked.
I found that the pin connecting to the shaft fell out. I temporarily inserted a nail but there is no movement of the 3 point hitch.
Any suggestions of how this link has to be attached to the shaft.? Does the position of the shaft have to be preset in a given position before attaching the link?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hans

Trying to get my Kubota Diesel TG1860 in shape to mow my property... my son in law drove it on a mud patch and the belt came off and we can't get it back on and adjusted.
i want to add power steering to my L245dt kubota. i read your article on this. just wondering if you had to move the alternator and or where did you move it. i think i can get a nissan pump. also did you put an idler tensioner on it. thanks
i have a kubota L245dt and steering box is bad. i would like to put power steering on it because it has a front end loader. i thought about putting automotive type power assist cylinder and valve along with a pump that would bolt to engine. but i still need the column/gear box. do you have any ideas that may help. thank you dock

No, Sorry, I have no idea where to start on a project like that,
Mine is bone stock, except for gauges, post on the forum.
I bet some one if not a lot of folks will have good ideas.

I do understand with the loader how PS would be nice!

Please keep us posted on the procedure and progress for others in the same boat!
I have a ZD221 48 zero turn and constantly have starting problems. If you get off mower to pick up stick it will shut off even with parking brake set and not restart. Three times I have dismantled and removed the switches and no problem all function well. I crank it and make the safety switch cut it off by releasing the brake and lift off seat or other maneuver to make it shut off. It functions fine a couple of times then wont start. Anyone have a clue please help me, just cant find problem. Once it gets warm and runs for a while and you shut it off it won't start.
Got loader arms on and exchanged bucket for forks. Loaded the mount for snowblower on skid. Next to take the hydraulic cylinder for the up down on mount and rebuild as seal is leaking a bit. Then to store the winter gear away.
