    My new L1-22dt Sunshine

    That ROPS is really weird. I have to lower mine to drive it into one of my sheds to attach the post hole digger. Mine folds backwards and I continually hit my head on it when I'm attaching the digger. My ROPS is pretty flimsy and I hope I never have a situation to use it as I really don't think...

    My new L1-22dt Sunshine

    Hi Marc, I can only suggest Sota or Midway for a power steering kit as I think they are the importers of these tractors. They would be the best to ask any questions. I was surprised to hear about Sota NSW as my tractor looked brand new and indeed fooled many people when I said it was a refurb...

    B6100 Leaking Fuel

    A word of warning, don't pull the injector pump apart unless you know what your doing! A friend of mine had fuel leaking from the pump throttle and shut off levers, (massey tractor) so he got a O ring and gasket kit and pulled it apart. He's still finding bits and pieces on the shed floor and...

    M105X Losing power

    The fuel bowl should be full of fuel. In one of Vic's videos he talks about an air lock in the top half of the bowl and how to prevent it and then bleed the system. Sounds like air is in the fuel system or getting into the system when the motor is running. Check all the hoses, pipes and O rings...

    New member with a question

    Hi Johnat, I've got a new/rebuilt L2402DT (Aussie) and the manual that came with it wasn't really the right one either. I ordered and received a 'L2402DT' owners manual from SSB tractors. (find it on google). This manual is a bit better but not all the equipment is in it either. I suspect these...

    An honorary Kubota?

    Just broke the good news to Massey-Kubota ('MK' for short). Blow me down if I didn't notice a drop or two of coolant from the radiator pipe. Tears? Naw couldn't be! Thanks Guys and have a great Christmas season.

    An honorary Kubota?

    Yes I know it's not a Kubota, but can it be an honorary one please please S.D.Vic and Mr. K ? It is my first tractor and I just can't part with it. It's a Massey Ferguson 35 diesel built in 1960. Still in good nick and runs well. It's got to share the work now with the Kubota so it's sort of...

    L2202 Dying Out on Incline

    Hi Couta, Sounds like a fuel problem to me to. I had the same problem in my Nissan Patrol a few years ago and it turned out to be a filter INSIDE the fuel tank that no-one new about. I would remove the fuel filter and drain the tank. Refill the tank with fresh fuel and replace the filter. Bleed...
