    Problem starting L2900

    Thanks for your replies. I'll pull the tractor out and see if I can trace back to the problem switches. Is an OPC module a DIY fix or will I need to get a Kubota tech to do that? Thanks again.

    Problem starting L2900

    Would replacing an OPC module be a DIY job or will I need to get a Kubota tech out here? Thanks!

    Problem starting L2900

    Hi all, I'm having issues starting my L2900 GST even though it's got a brand new battery. When I turn the key, there is a click and the display lights come on, but no starter action. Of course it's in neutral with brake on and out of gear. If I push in the clutch a few times, shift back...

    MRO spray paint for Kubota?

    Hi. I'm looking for a close match to Kubota orange in a rattle can. My favorite spray paint brand is MRO (Seymour Paints) because it covers very well and is tough when it dries. I use MRO paints on lots of metal projects and it's far better than the brands I can get at the hardware store. In...

    Used tractor buying advice

    I recently bought an L2900 with 1100 hours. Before buying it, I looked at pricing on several sites, looked at a dealer's offerings, and most importantly, spent hours on YouTube looking at videos from this site, plus Messick's and Tractor Mike. There is a tremendous amount of info available and...

    Simple shade canopy

    Living in the desert, I don't need protection from rain very often, but I do like to stay out of the sun. I made this shade structure from 3/4" square steel tubing plus a pair of heavy steel brackets that fit over the ROPS. I put 90% shade cloth over the frame and fixed it with tek screws with...

    Joystick play on FEL

    Thanks. I took the metal shield off and found that the bracket and pin holding the joystick were both worn. I was able to replace the pin with a barrel bolt and that took up most of the slack. I plan to do the same with the valve linkages, but need to buy a ring pliers first. Thanks again.

    Spring for Shuttle Shift Lever

    I just bought an L2900 GST and have a question about the shuttle shift lever. There is a spring that I think is meant to stiffen the lever action. On my tractor, it looks like the spring was cut and the lever has a fair bit of play. I had the tractor in for service recently and the service...

    Joystick play on FEL

    I recently bought a L2900 GST with an L480 FEL. The loader works well, but the joystick seems to have a lot of play in it. The ball will move 3 or more inches back and forth and the whole thing feels rather loosy-goosy. I haven't driven a tractor in decades, so I'm not sure if it's supposed...

    Service for L2900 GST

    Thank you all for your replies. I'll have the Kubota mechanics give it a thorough going-over and do all the fluids. Preventing problems is a lot cheaper than solving them!

    Service for L2900 GST

    Hi all, I just took delivery of an L2900 GST. From the SN, I'm thinking it was built in '98 or '99. It was little used for the last 10 years and has about 1200 hours on it. It's in good shape and runs well, but I'd like to set my own baseline for maintenance and repairs, so I'm having it...

    Labels/stickers for L2900?

    Hi folks, I'd like to replace the labels/stickers for the gear, pto, 3pt, 4x4 and other operations. They're pretty faded and peeling. Any sources for these? I've seen posts about the logo and model stickers, but not these. Thanks!
