I'm probably going to have to replace the clutch on my old L275DT in the near future. Does everything need to be replaced, as in a whole clutch assembly, or are there wear items that can only be replaced, like bearings and friction plates?

I've got a problem engaging the PTO. It's always been notchy, but this year after not using the PTO for at least 1/2 a year, it would not engage the PTO. I tried to shift and it would just grind. I was at idle RPM. Last week when I wanted to connect the shredder, I had to engage the PTO with...

I need an adapter to connect a 3/8" hydraulic return line to one of the return ports on my L275 shown below. I pulled the plug (gasketed, straight thread) for that port and took it to a local shop that makes hydraulic hoses, but they couldn't match the thread. I tried looking up PS 3/8 thread...

I'm changing hydro fluid tomorrow and would like to reroute the hydraulic hoses back to original position if possible. I've been living with this rigged routing since I got it. If someone with a similar tractor could send me pics or clue me in otherwise, I'd appreciate it. I looked through...

I've removed one of the L275DT tractor's FEL lift cylinders to replace the seals. I thought that the cap with the flats holding the rod in would thread off, but it just spins in place. There appears to be a retainer piece, similar to the bent wire types that press into grooves, but I can't...

I'm finally getting around to working on my L275DT, and one of the major issues is the poor condition of the wiring harness. Below is a connector that is below the fuel tank and has been soaked in diesel, has burned wires and has many years on it. I see a number of options for generic...

The FEL cylinders for my L275DT are seeping too much for me to ignore any longer. The sealing surface of the rods/pistons are undamaged, so I'm assuming that it was just dirt buildup over time that has worked into the seals. I've not taken anything apart to verify that the seals aren't damaged...

The wiring on my L275DT has always been pretty rough, but it always functioned well enough. Recently I found that the alternator/generator is not charging the battery, and it looks like the wiring may be the culprit. The wires to the alternator were patched up after getting too hot near the...

I have an L275DT with a FEL. The FEL controller is mounted as shown in this post. The hoses going to the controller run from the pump (which is down and to the left of the seat), behind the seat, then up on top of the right side fender just looped over the handle mounted on the fender, and...

My L275DT runs great, but looks like it's halfway to the scrap heap. I plan on painting it at least, but the fenders are in bad shape, being pretty bent up and flexible. Any recommendations on making it more rigid before I paint it? I'll fix the bent over lip/flange that is supposed to give...

I've been enjoying my L275, but unfortunately when I'm done I notice a significant shortness of breath. The exhaust pipe comes up from the manifold, releasing the exhaust in front of me when I drive. I've seen pictures of L275's that had different routing of the exhaust. What are my options...

There is no temperature gauge on my L275DT. Looking online I see posts by people who claim that their temperature gauge is not working on their L275...maybe they have a later model or something. It's hard to imagine that there wouldn't be one by design. Regardless, I'd like one. Temperature...

I gave the L275 its first good workout last night and things went pretty well. One problem that caused me some concern was that when pulling the lever to get the bucket to lower, I noticed it going very slow and then when it got to the ground had no force at all pushing down. I figured out...

I ordered p/n 15411-97020, which is a replacement belt running the alternator and the radiator fan. I tried to install it last night, but it wouldn't fit, being too small. I've contacted Messick's and they verified that it was the correct belt. The alternator was fully adjusted in to allow...

The L275 I picked up had the hydraulic hoses replaced, and this is what they look like now. That doesn't look like an OEM quality job to me. I'd imagine they could get snagged by tree branches, etc. What's my easiest option for improving this? Thanks.

My L275DT has a clutch stopper that has an adjustable bolt to limit clutch pedal travel. How do I check it for proper adjustment? Right now with it down, I can change gears, but there is a little resistance to it. I'd like to make it as easy to shift as possible without having the stopper...

I'm working to restore a pretty weathered L275DT. The images below are of the hydraulic lines, which are pretty rusty. One guy I know who knows a few things said that rust like that could wind up contaminating the fluid. I'm skeptical about that unless the rust gets so bad it works its way...

I'm doing my 1st fuel filter change on my recently acquired L275. When I pulled off the filter pot, there was no spring under the filter. I'm fairly certain that without that spring, there is no good seal on the upper oring. The tractor runs fine now, but the pot was pretty gunked up, so I'd...

I need to replace the battery bracket on my L275. It's rusted well beyond repair. I'd imagine that it is a common part among many different models. I did an ebay search for L275 battery bracket, but nothing came up. A quick look on Messicks didn't return anything either. Any...

I just picked up my 1st Kubota, a L275 w/ a FEL & 1400 hrs on the meter. It is sound mechanically AFAIK, starting up and running fine, but I noticed that I have no dash lights when I turn the key to the on position. I have not had a chance to look into it yet, but will this evening. I have...
