Final update. I finally had to pull the fuel line off the tank. Fuel just trickled out. I was able to grab hold of a spider web plug in the nipple and eased it out, then fuel gushed out. That was the main problem. The Biokleen took care of some biological growth that added to the plug. The...

Another question about the fuel filter. Is the filter inside the glass bowl the only fuel filter on this tractor? My other tractors are larger IH diesels and both have 2 canister screw on fuel filters. Is it normal for the fuel level to drop in the bowl while the tractor is running?

I got a bottle of BioKleen yesterday. I put the shock treatment amount in the tractor tank yesterday, After a half hour I srarted and ran it. It ran better but still quit on fuller throttle. Ran twice today, and each time ran longer and at higher throttle. I'll give it a workout tomorrow...

I'll have to look at my bill from last fall when it quit on me. It was a clogged fuel line and I think the shop cleaned out the tank.

This looks like the answer. I started it tonight and got off. Within a minute or two it had started running rough. Instead of increasing the throttle, I throttled back and got off just to observe. The fuel level in the bowl was low and I could see fuel running in. Throttled back, fuel filling...

Yes, it goes on up to wherever I've got the throttle set, usually between 2500 & 3000 as I'm trying to figure out my problem. I do not use anything in the fuel to fight biological growth. I have had a problem in the past with my IH 766 and clogged fuel line. I've never had a problem with my IH...

I got my filters all replaced with Kubota filters, thanks to the help I got here. L5240 HST has been working fine since then, 2 months or so. Since then, tractor has been used for plowing, 2-18 mounted, 6 ft rear mounted tiller(PTO driven), 2 row 3pt planter, 2 row 3 pt cultivator, PTO driven...

Final update on the filters. Once I got the HST filter replaced, I did some light duty work and parked the tractor on a dry spot. I sat on the ground, braced my feet against the back tire & my back against the front tire. I used the vice grip style filter wrench, and got that filter off! I...

Woohoo! I got the Kubota hydraulic fluid in, and all systems are go!

Update: My apologies for being all over the place in reporting my issue with this filter, my eyesight degenerated last fall, and I need to replace my glasses for near vision. When #050 & #060 ended up not working, I discovered there was a 3/8 inch thick plate with an attached larger nipple that...

No notches on the Wix filter, but I will try cutting any paint that might be sticking there. I broke two strap wrenches, not cheapie ones either; I damaged a third strap/chain wrench. The one I'm using now works like a vice grip.

No, the engine filter was replaced a couple months ago with an oil change & gas filter change. The other one I need to change is on the opposite side of the tractor as the HST filter, near the same general location. The parts man kept calling it a transmission filter. As soon as the HST...

Thank you for that picture. I did have the nipple inserted correctly. I think I figured out the problem but have to get some fluid refilled before confirming the problem. I was looking at the nipple & focused on that as the problem, I completely ignored the fact that the O ring was so loose it...

OK, first, the old filters are not Kubota, they are WIX. The only number I see on the WIX HST filter says 55. The part number on the HST filter I got from the Kubota dealer says HHTA0-59900. My phone doesn't do good pictures.

I'll get back later today with parts numbers from the old and the new filters, both Kubota parts.
