Thanks for the reply but 2 quarts seems like a lot of oil not to drain out with a warm engine. The day before I changed the oil on my L39 backhoe. It called for 6 quarts. I added 6 quarts, ran the engine and let it set over night and the oil was only 3/4 the up from the low mark. I will...

I checked an recheck the manual before changing the oil in my MX5800 for the first oil change at 50 hours. I checked the oil prior to the change and it was at the top level. After draining and adding 9.5 quarts I poured the old oil back in the containers and realized I had a little less than 2...

Thanks for the replies. It's nice to hear the answer you are hoping to hear.

I have a L39 backhoe and MX5800 in need of an oil change. The manual for call for SAE 15W-40 in both tractors. I have enough Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection Conventional 15W-40 Diesel Engine Oil for the L39 tractor and enough Shell Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Diesel Engine Oil for the...

Here is a summary of the glow plug problem. Tractor would not start on cold morning. Checked coolant temperature sensor and it was working. Dealer contacted Kubota Rep and the rep said could try replacing glow plug relay, they had problems with the relay, or try getting a temperature sensor that...

I finally got the dash cover removed. I'm think my 2010 M6040 tractor has a design screw up that Kubota fixed for the next models. To remove the dash, there are 4 bolts with easy access. Two at the bottom and one on each side. At the top center of the dash is a 10 mm 2" bolt with a hole in the...

lugbolt, I have attached a photo of the hood mounting; can you tell me where to look for the easy removal clips? Thanks

I will try to find the clips but I have looked for hours. All I can find is 6 bolts behind the dash board. Thanks

The bolts to take off the hood is behind the dash board and the bolt to remove the dash board is block by the hood, how the heck was the tractor assembled?

I may never buy another Kubota. I can't believe dash removal is this hard. They covered the hole with a black sticker so you could not find the bolt. Next they aligned the hole with the hood raised, looks like I will have to remove the hood to get the bolt out. Why make it this hard?

The resolution this site stores upload is very low you will have to follow the link in previous post to be view the diagram.

Thanks for the suggestion of looking at parts diagram. https://www.kubotausa.com/parts The link above will take you to a page where you can select illustrated parts. Accept terms and search by model number. I still don't see how to get the top center loose. Mine is in is exactly like the...

Thanks very much; very helpful. I will let you know how it goes in a few days

Thanks for the reply I have tried for 30 minutes to find the screw. Surly Kubota would not put the screw 5 inched deep in a hold with not guidance for finding the screw. I can insert the screw 3" and turn it 45 degrees in any direction. Thanks for the reply.

I am beginning to say bad things about Kubota. Can someone tell me how to remove the dash? I have remove 4 screws and the key receptacle. Something is holding it in the top center of the dash. I am afraid to apply to much pressure because I'm not sure it is suppose to pop loose and don't know...
