I have a m5030su 2wd. Last year the front right wheel came off. The rim was rusty and wallowed out. three of the lugs were previously broken off. The local Kubota stealership wanted approx. $300 for a new rim with up to a month wait. CFI tire of Iowa sold me a new Kubota rim for $80 plus $30 for...

Hi everyone, I am following up on my M5030su hydraulic issues. I would like to Thank North Idaho Wolfman who gave me lots of great advice. My hydraulics (bucket and three point) would sometimes work, and sometimes not. Finally they just died. I had planned on putting Kubota udt in after...

Hello Kubota owners everywhere! It is time to rejoice! My Kubota hydraulics are working thanks to the Wolfman. Wolfman advised me that the primary failures for my type of hydraulic system are two rubber hoses that connect the suction line from the back of the tractor to the area of the fluid...

Oh yeah, I want to fix it. I try to fix everything I own. I always get the kids involved so they can learn. We have not worked on hydraulics but I think we can do it. We also have some good companies nearby that fabricate parts, hoses, and generally fix everything that we can't handle like...

You are correct, I should have been more specific with my hydraulic problems. The hydraulics will suddenly stop working. There are no strange sounds, no unusual movements or actions, it just stops working. This affects the bucket and the three point hitch. By the way I only use a box blade and...

I have been having difficulties with my M5030SU hydraulics. I have previously changed the fluid, filter, and magnet in the filter housing. Changing the fluid seemed to help, but things are now worse. I read a forum post that there were other filters, but I can not find them on my tractor, or in...

As a follow up I changed the oil and filter. I cleaned the magnet and there was a lot of sludge on it. However the oil looked very good. None of my hydraulics would work after I changed the oil. I eventually took the filter off, filled it with oil, and the hydraulics kicked right in. They also...

Hi, I have a M5030 SU two wheel drive. We purchased/traded for it when it was dead. We have got it running and working. Everything was going fine till today when my box blade would not lift while I was working on a driveway. The arms have failed to lift a few times in the past but the bucket...

I have now removed the crankcase pulley. The bolt securing the pulley is a 36 mm on my tractor. I was not able to keep the tractor from moving when I turned the crankcase bolt with the tractor in gear, with the brakes applied and it still moved. I finally wedged the breaker bar against the...

Hi, I am attempting to remove the crankcase pulley from a Kubota m5030su. The bolt holding the pulley on is part number 15601-91013. Does anyone know what size this bolt is? I attempted the 46mm socket and it swallowed the head of the bolt. Charlie I have removed the bolt holding the...

Hi, I am the proud owner of a highly used 1992 M5030su. The tractor would not even click when we first attempted to start it. We finally got it started and discovered the water pump was shot. The fan had a lot of wobble and I think it was hitting the fan shroud causing a lot of noise. We have...
