Thanks for your help. Turns out that there was a blockage between the tank and the fuel filter. When the fuel filter was removed and the fuel valve opened, there was a very slow (or restricted) flow of fuel. We had to empty the fuel tank and blow air from the fuel filter into the tank. After...

Hi, wondering if someone could help me diagnose a problem? My L2950 has been running very rough as of late. It starts OK and then after driving 50, or 100, or 250 feet then it will start to lose power and will sometimes stall. If I depress my clutch then I can keep the tractor from stalling. If...

The fan stopped blowing...do you think this is connected to the low coolant issue?

I have a Laurin tractor cab on my Kubota. Recently, the heater/fan has stopped working. It looks like all the fuses are OK. Does anyone have experience working on Laurin cabs?

Installed a new radiator cap and the problem is solved! Now I need to address a soft, bulging, bottom radiator hose issue and a leaking 'T' valve that diverts warm rad fluid to a my cab's heater...which, by the way, has stopped working!

Thanks Matt. I checked the oil and the level is exactly where it should be.

I just read E/S's comment. I hope that's all it is! I think I'll change the cap before I do anymore work on it.

So I topped up the rad with almost 2 quarts. After filling it, I ran the tractor for about 20 minutes 'hard' and the temperature gauge never went past 1/4. At one point, the gauge dropped from 1/4 to about an 1/8th and then climbed back up to 1/4. I guess that's when the thermostat opened up and...

One other question regarding the coolant level - when the engine is cold, where should the coolant level be inside the radiator? To the top where you can see it? The reason why I'm asking is because the level of fluid in the overflow chamber is correct but I don't see fluid at the top of the...

I really appreciate your input. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm quite sure it has water pump cooling. When you say clean rad, do you mean give it a rad flush or clean the outside fins, or both?

Lately, my L2950's temp guage has been creeping very close to the 'HOT' range and I'm not sure where to start the diagnosis. When the tractor was not under load it started to creep to 'HOT". However, when I was running at 540 RPM using a bush hog, the temperature stayed in the normal range. But...
