L2202dt-m

[rhodiadale]

Can any one tell me about the L2202DT-M. I have been using our unit for rotovating in greenhouses and seem to have hit a dead end with the clutch. The gears were not wanting to select and I followed a thread on this site and adjusted the clutch arm and the gears were selecting perfectly thereafter, but this only worked for a couple of days. Now there seems to be no resistance on the clutch pedal. I have checked the spring below the foot board and this is in place. Have I left something out of my adjustment, or do I have a failed clutch. The unit only has 2115 hours on the clock. Sadly I purchased the unit as a second hand/used import and do not have any manuals to help me. Am I able to get a workshop manual for this unit? If so where am I able to get one and are there e-book versions available? Things take a while to get to South Africa and at times books go missing in the post...hence the request for e-book if possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks David - Rhodiadale

It sounds like you need a clutch replacement. Service manuals were never published for the 02 Series Kubota tractors. You may want to consider purchasing the North american L Series Workshop Service Manuals from the early eighties and follow the service procedures there. should be close enough that you'll get the job done.

Looks like this is going to be a mission. Hopefully I will find a manual and then hope that I can get the parts in South Africa. Pretty sad that the clutch has probably failed after only 2000hrs.:(

Thanks for your input Vic. Have you any idea where I can start to look for a workshop manual that might help. As said does anyone create e-book versions or possibly PDF downloads on getting to the clutch / splitting the unit?
Right now any help would be greatly appreciated.

Might find some overall info in a Kubota WSM that covers the L185/235/275 versions. Nuts and bolts are nuts and bolts. You have to get in there an start taking them off to get that tractor apart.

There's alot of sheetmetal on an 02 Series Kubota that has to come off and that's takes time.

Look at it and methodically start removing and taking apart what you know is necessary to split it. There's no mystery, it's all the work involved that's confusing and confounding the issue!

2000 hrs is probably lots for a clutch that was never adjusted, or operated by an inattentive rice farmer.

Thanks Vic. You are right there are a lot of individual plates to remove. Hopefully once apart I will be able to get the parts I need here in South Africa. Anything Kubota here is hugely expensive....Your comment on the rice farmer made me smile, I think my tractor operator is no better, if something makes a strange noise either gun it a bit more to beat the noise or just carry on and hope it goes away. A spares supplier's dream.
If I get stuck I give you a shout again. You have no idea how valuable your input on this site is.

Thanks for the info, Handyman. Looked up the manual for L185 and this seems to be the equivalent. Have opened up and found the fingers on the diaphragm badly worn....almost through!! So appears a problem with the release bearing and diaphragm.
