    ZD1211 Blade Attachment Hardware

    What GENIUS engineer designed the get up that holds the blades on the ZD1211..... I have had mine for 4 years and EVERY single time I change the blades I think about posting this rant. Instead of having a 30 MM bolt that holds the blade on. Or a shaft that you slide a blade over and a 30 MM...

    Losing power

    run it til it dies and quickly remove your fuel filter, see if it is empty. Ill bet that you have a small air leak that allows the filter to refill while youre running, but too slow to handle the load. Chack for an air leak upstream

    ZD1211 Blade Holder setup

    Man Kubota usually does it right but HOLY COW. The ZD1211 blade holder get up sucks green donkey dicks. There's a CUP that you have to sit on top of the blade, then hold the splined shaft along with the twin spacer washers in place and THEN you can put the bolt on. Hard to do without having...

    Leaking Rear Remote Quick Coupler L6060

    Anybody got a cure for a leaking rear remote coupler? I have 3 rear remote pairs on my L6060. They are all female quick connects hard mounted to the tractor. ONE of the 6 is leaking like crazy. Can I replace an O ring in it? I sure wish I could just replace the suspect coupler...

    L6060 4wd Gear Ratio

    1.604 is the magic number. I finally managed to get a call into DEALER tech support who stuck with the issue until they found someone who handed out the number. For what it is worth: I had calculated the ratio to be 1.58 but was scared of my math......

    L6060 4wd Gear Ratio

    I beg to differ...... Rear Tires 143 inches rolling Circumference. Front tires 98" rolling circumference. If the front tire was exactly 100" - the ratio would be 1.43:1 Granted that is the differential between MY tractors tires as they roll - - The mechanical gear ratio has to be...

    L6060 4wd Gear Ratio

    I am trying to find what the gear ratio is for this tractor so that I can calculate lead/lag. I cannot find this information in the shop manual or my owners manual. Does anybody have this info offhand? I think it’s 1.43 but am not sure and a lil bit of gear makes a big difference

    Joystick hanging up

    Pa Pow hit it on the head. I have it working properly now BUT..... when I removed the plastic cover to get at the controller.....the problem fell out. I just cannot for the life of me figure out what this part is supposed to do or where it is supposed to go. It’s clearly a stop bracket of...

    Joystick hanging up

    L6060: Just started happening today. When you push the joystick forward to lower the bucket - it's as if the float function release is "catching" the lift will lower very slowly. Cycling the joystick seems to make it let go and operate properly. But it's back to the hanging up the next time...
