Fantastic TheOldHokie. Thank you.

The lever that controls the back blade position recently started drifting down on its own. This is a 2005 L4630. Is there a fix for this?

That is great help. Thank you very much. I am thinking maybe that line pulled out because we shortened it a few years ago to deal with a leak. It was leaking near the end and we cut the line back and re-connected it. IIRC it took quite a bit of pull on the hose to slip it over the fitting and...

That was it. Thank you.

Wow, that is fantastic. Heading up to the shop right now to investigate. Thank you so much.

I noticed quite a large spot of hydraulic fluid on the floor under the rear end of my 2004 L4630 tractor. I traced the "leak" to a hole below the cab and above the rear end of the tractor. I've never had fluid on the floor before and would like to know what is supposed to occupy that hole...

Thanks for all of the recommendations.

Nothing done except the head replacement. The back cylinder/piston was free of carbon build up, the other three looked "ok." I will get a compression test done asap.

Ok, I will look into having that done.

I don't know. Oops, I just noticed you asked about old valves. No, the head was complete, new valves, etc...

I had a new (not OEM) head installed on my L4630 (2300 hours) a few weeks ago. The old one was cracked and leaking coolant. Since the new head install the tractor seems to be going through fuel much faster. I keep the tractor in my shop building and when I start it and pull it out it leaves...

Greetings and (almost) Happy New Year. Is there a place to source used Kubota parts? I would like to replace the plastic top on my L4630. I appreciate any leads you may have. Thanks, Bill in the U.P.

Great info. Hopefully there isn't a "next time." : )

Update: The heat has been working fine since the head install. The window steaming has stopped too. That is a big deal as I can only imagine the damage to health breathing antifreeze vapor could cause.

Ok, scrap heap it is. Merry Christmas to all.
