AU generally refers to Australia, maybe continent specific or built to kubota order in Oz?

Thanks Russell, it's a bit of a raffle here in Oz for parts, I usually check for updated part no's online and give it to the spare parts Dept and hope for the best. Sometimes you can be lucky as a part may fit a non grey model, but kubota's parts system is based firstly on tractor models

My rear axle is weeping oil from the seal, I looked up Messinks parts online and the US equivalent L175 shows two different seals depending on production number. The seal pics look quite different in thickness so has any one changed out a L1500 axle seal and can help with confirming the correct...

For those who have the working knowledge of the aerators I realise there are two types the plug eject type and the welded fixed triangle blade type. From those who use them is there (apart from price) one better than the other in prepping the ground? Thanks

A friend has an very old lister diesel motor ( runs maybe 50 hrs/year) driving a generator and uses an oil filter which fits an MGB sports car and it got me to wonder what is the difference, if any? between oil filter construction (regardless of the brand) for diesel engine oil vs petrol engine...

Thanks for the replies, I have a full rebuild kit planned in several months but i wanted to keep it running for about a month or so to finish off weed spraying, it has a purpose built undervine weed sprayer fitted. I thought a quick overnight repair to fit oversize pistons or even oversize...

Hi all, having blow-by issues with my l1500, considering installing +.5 oversize pistons. Having trouble finding them for the Z750 engine, does any one know if other engines have same pistons which will fit? supplier recommendations. Regards

Thanks for the reply NIW, I thought a member may have resolved/mitigated the vibration issue by moving or fitting different radiator mounts or flexible hoses etc

Hi All, My radiator has leaked and been repaired several times over the last few years and it has failed again, a seam weld on the bottom tank is weeping. A new core was fitted 2 years ago but the repair man tells me the vibration of the engine causes the damage and kubota's are prone to it...

Here, but down under

A you tube video i watched shows a EU model Kubota L351 which comes in a narrow version and cab (similiar to the US B2401 but more horse power etc, good video just to see the vineyard terrain) did you look at one of these before choosing the AC unit and out of curiosity what is your vineyard row...

Hi All, I split my tractor six months ago and replaced the rear main seal, all has gone well with 50 odd hours since the repair but now i have an oil drip again and i am thinking the new seal has failed. Apart from just bad luck is there any other reason a main seal may fail? Any help will...

Thanks for the replies, i managed to borrow a impact gun and buy a long impact 46mm socket so will try tomorrow, thread direction is normal ccw to undo. Thanks

Hi, I have started on replacing the front main seal in my engine, but am having problems with the large nut which holds the fan belt pulley on the crankshaft. The nut is super tight and apart from maybe applying a little heat to help crack the tension and lots of swearing etc does anyone have an...

Hi all, I am currently replacing the rear main oil seal on my l1500 and have a query. There are 4 flat slightly curved washers (2 bolts each) that bolt to the housing the seal fits into. When removing them i noted they are fitted so the 'curve' follows the outside radius of the seal but doesnt...
