I have a grey market L2000 (L225) equivalent. I've owned it 10 years and it is my first Kubota. It runs great and I love it by the way. On the L225, there is a small glow indicator on the dash. I typically engage the glow plugs until the glow indicator becomes red and then crank the...

Still no issues with my alternator retrofit. I've mowed and done a few projects where the tractor was started and stopped many times during the day. I'm convinced- she is good.

It has been roughly 3 weeks since I last used the tractor. No voltage drop and she started and charged just fine. I am happy with the results. PM me if you need a factory dynamo and charger.

I am the first to admit if I screw up and will report back any dead batteries. You guys had me a little worried, so I pulled the battery lead and used a good fluke to measure, there is no current draw and after 2 weeks, my battery voltage didn't drop. The only concern I have about the 10si...

The alternator charges for sure but I haven't disconnected to measure amp output when the tractor is running. At idle, it puts out almost 15 volts! I think you guys are a little confused on the 1 wire alternator. If you only hook up the main output wire, then true, it doesn't start changing...

I put the Kumar kit in my L2000 (Grey L225) and it is working out well. Good quality parts. Don't let your tractor sit out in the rain without something covering the steering wheel!

Background: I wanted to replace the dynamo and regulator on my L225 Kubota with D1100 engine and improve charging. Using the readily available 10SI alternator, I was able to do just that! The alternator just fits within the hood assembly and the belt will clear the frame. I wired the excite...

At the beginning, on the hill, it was a 10.0 After bleeding the injectors 2x, I'd say that I'd give it a 2.0 Running the old girl for a couple of hours, honestly it sounds pretty normal. I guess what I'm after here is- should I just buck up and replace the injectors because of their age and...

Ran the tractor for 2.5 hours last night blading my rode. I loaded it up a fair bit and it seems to be running fine. Thoughts on still replacing the injectors? It has 1600h on it.

I was looking at the aftermarket injectors, probably as you wrote this. Are they all junk? Looks like $45 - $60 on ebay Looking @ the kubota parts diagram for the L225, it is a little unclear what is the PN for a complete injector I attached the image from the parts company. 1.1 INJECTOR...

So, been out in the shed all night.... Before starting, I pulled the oil filter and cut it open with a pair of snips. I was happy not to find any nasty metal or proof of eating a rod bearing. I fired the tractor up and it didn't knock for the first 3-5 seconds then, the knock was back. I...

So- I haven't started it up yet- mainly wanting to get feedback before doing so. The fuel is fresh and about 1/4 to 1/3 full. I have a sight tube on the tank and I haven't seen any air in it yet. Before starting work, I put 2 fresh gallons in. I do heed your warnings though about water in...

NO- I drove the tractor back to the shed and it knocked the whole way. I must say though that it was a short trip up-hill and straight to the shed. It ran about 1 full minute knocking and my hope was to get it shut off ASAP to avoid / minimize any damage. Thoughts?

It is and has been pretty cold here for the past several weeks and I've been getting into my hilly woods to haul our firewood. I had a nice Oak that fell and I wanted to get it out. The slope is pretty steep and I backed the tractor down the hill to drag out logs. I made 6 successful pulls...

Today, I was working on a steep slope pulling some firewood out. I made about 4 pulls today and 3 yesterday. It's 19 deg F here and the tractor was running fine. I chained up a log and all of the sudden, it started knocking. The oil light was NOT on... Could this somehow be air?? Metalic53...
