I found a 8' Myers plow mounted on a skid steer quick hitch for my FEL. Hopefully the shoes will keep it out of the lawn sod. My driveway is concrete and asphalt so I can do a pretty good job with my hyd. back blade. When moving snow piles, the FEL bucket isn't wide enough and is hard to...

Sorry. I understood the first Kubota large farm tractors were a combination of Fiat and Kubota. It has a lot of Fiat features, PTO hand clutch, PTO, 4WD and super low levers by left foot. Regardless, it is a nice tractor, we just don't need 70hp anymore.

This is an older tractor made by Fiat with a Kubota motor and 16 speed trans. It has 2 sets of remotes and the Quckie loader works off one set. It has front and rear locking differentials. Tires are 70%. Tin is straight and not rusted, don't believe it has ever been in manure. No blow by and...

Got everything full and ran the tractor for 3 hours, both 4wd and 2wd, no oozing yet. I believe I'll use the 00 oil/grease to fill everything, it pours.

OK, that looks like my front end. I haven't found a 6m bolt to remove the air venting plug under the zerk, so I haven't checked that oil level yet. Is there a "level check plug" there? or do you just fill it? So far the only thing that was low was the axel and I don't see any leaking/oozing...

M 7030 DT sn 71162 engine sn 40304 Is there a full plug for the reservoir under the zerk fitting. How do you know if it is full?

I have some 75-140 gear oil rather than corn head grease. I am going to pull the grease fitting and see if that is low too. Not sure where you check the level. I was surprised when I took the fill/check plug out of the axel, there was a vacuum in the axel. I have added about 1 1/2 quarts...

I found the axel was low on oil and added 75-90 gear oil. I am not using the tractor much so will see how much oil it is leaking. Do I dare use corn head grease in that front axle in an attempt to stop the oozing? I have attached a picture, it shows the drain plug and the fill/level plug...

I am going to make a trip to my local dealer and try to get a look at the 7030 parts book. If that fails, I'll contact Mesick's.

The illustrations in my manuals are very poor. My front hub looks different from the illustration. There is a plug in the bottom and a plug half way (14mm) up and it looks like a plug surrounded by a large sq. nut higher up. I took the 14 mm plug out and had gear oil flowing out. It appears...

My old M7030 is ozzing oil around the left front wheel (over the winter it leaked +/- 1/4 pint). I am presuming a seal has failed. I have a shop manual and it doesn't mention replacing a seal. Is this a DIY project or is it a major job? One thing I haven't figures out is the zerk grease...

Yes, the term bulldozer was hyperbole. The tractor is mostly used to maintain roads along with a HD back blade. I use a tractor as a tractor not a lawn toy! I've had the poor Long standing on one front tire when moving mud. How does the MX series compare to the M? Not sure I want a...

I need a 50 hp tractor/fel that will handle a Farmi, work as a bulldozer, brush hog and plow snow. Which Kubota is actually a 50 hp UTILITY tractor?

Woodsman, I was going to stick a meat thermometer in the dip stick hole to check temp. I think the normal operating temp is 113-131F. Figured 200 would be hot!

1/2 to 1/4 so I can put gauge in the remotes.
