While I have found OrangeTractorTalks to be the most helpful site on Kubotas (especially due to the help of Wolfman) ...there is another site you might visit for RTV issues:

Hi cwl3.

Did you ever find a PDF manual for your mower deck RCK60-30B ?

I am in the search for one as well....

Thanks, Tim

Hello,
I saw the L2850 post and curious if you have that machine still. What transmission was it built with? I am seeking a older model GST for internal parts.

L4701 loader hydraulic issue curl down malfunction

Two lift functions work flawlessly and curl up works fine but curl down only moves a few inches and stops. I switched the blue and red hoses at the outputs of the control unit and the failure moves from the curl down to the curl up function. It appears that the issue is with the controller not the lines and cylinders on the loader past the controller. Also whichever line is hooked to the red/downcurl output ends up locking up the little ball valve in the quick connect hose. Can anyone confirm that my logic is correct that I have an issue with the curl down controller valve? Or maybe an over pressure valve in the controller?

Thanks for posting your pictures of the debris on the hydraulic filter. I have a L39 that I just performed a hydraulic service on. My filters look just like yours back in 2015. What was the outcome of the shavings?

did you get that l4150 in yet.if so, can you give me dmz on dipstick

Where can I send my Flow Priority Valve for a reliable test? Cant find anyone around me to do it.

Hi
you posted a question on your 3750 and a leak behind the dash area. I also have a 3750 (1988 vintage) and also had a leak that I traced to the same area. It turned out to be a freeze plug on the rear of the engine block that had corroded and started to weap. A 50cent plug from kubota fixed the problem but it was a real bear to get to it, lots of time, cursing ad determination.

Hi The lower hose is basically there to drain excess fluid if you overfill during maintenance. When the radiator warms up there is expansion, the radiator cap is designed to take a certain psi then it allows release of fluid to the reservoir, when it cools the fluid is siphoned back to the radiator and keeps the system in status quo. The dangling hose in there just to discharge excess fluid that will not fit in tank. Usually in cool condition the tank remains half full but if you over fill the tank during a maintenance operation the fluid volume will become too great and be discharged onto the ground through that hose. On my kubotas (3750, 5660, b7800 and rtv 900) I make sure that hose is not discharging on the tractor frame and causing corrosion, but be careful on any discharge if you have 2 legged and 4 legged animals because the antifreeze has a sweet taste and can be poisonous.

Does anyone else have trouble with the operator presence switch when the temperature is below freezing? I hate the switch but am leery of bypassing it. Ordered a new switch ($45 for a rather simple switch... don’t get me started on parts pricing!). Works fine above 32°. Is there any other safety switch that could cause this?

Do you still have the parts tractor parts for sale B7100d ? Bought a B7000 and it has no front pto shaft and clutch on it. Joe

Notifications do not work... this is a small board with not enough paying advertisers to pay for this. Just a reality of a small board that serves a small population in the first place.

searching.. there is a black bar on top of each page that starts with

[User CP] ... [FAQ]... etc . just past center of this bar is [search]

also note their is a sticky at the top of each forum that takes you to a post with ton of links to commonly asked questions... common request... common answers.... best where to find xyz info etc. each sticky is geared to each forums purpose.

below post.. though about Tapatalk.... will also lead you to generic info about how to get to the photo posting tools.

Skeets I feel so bad for you both and I sure wish things were different. I'm more than proud to call you my friend and you're welcome to vent here any time. I know that helpless feeling only too well but her suffering will soon be over. Give her a hug for me and you look after yourself.
Talk to you soon my friend
Donnie

I'm sorry skeets, hoping for as peaceful passing as possible.

My Brother ... Just a heads up if you don't mind. We took the wife by ambulance to the end of life home this afternoon. She was gasping for air even with the O 2 generator turned up all the way and was very disoriented And the meds we were giving were not doing what they were suppose to do. And now she is on O 2 and she has a morphine pump IV and lasicks (sp) catheter in and 2gm of morphine to help her breath.
So I dont know where I go from here, it is not going to be pleasant Im sure.
Anyway I thought I would let you know, as i consider you a good friend, and you dont mind if I vent
Peace
Skeets
