When, I shut the tractor off, I very clearly see the fluid draining with lots of bubbles out of the side hose into the bottom hole. When that is finished, it is dry. When it is running, are you saying you won't see anything because it is clear, or you won't see anything because there is no...

So should the sight window always be filled with liquid? Or should it go dry? Mine is dry when running.

When I looked in the window with rpm’s at 1500 and a/c on full blast, the window looked empty. Then when I would turn the tractor off, it was like the fluid would flow. I saw bubbles and fluid drain from the side hose into the bottom hole until dry again.

Will car a/c gauges work, or does the Kubota system require different gauges?

Ok, I just got my L3560 back from the dealer the other day from other issues. I was bush hogging today, and two questions came up. 1. Why does my windshield washer fluid spray itself every once in awhile for a split second? 2.Is it normal for tractor a/c to not be that good? Today, it was in...

I doubt it. There are lots of people, even mechanics, that don’t understand oil weights. I say he was probably looking at the 5w and thinking thin.

There are some calculators online to figure out oil thickness at any temperature. Basically you need to know the spec temperatures and the viscosity index of the oil. A higher VI is better because it makes the oil relatively thinner at cooler temperatures and keeps it from thinning too much when...

Used oil analysis shows T6 5w40 usually shears down to a 30 weight fairly quickly in use, but this doesn’t hurt its performance.

Use the 5w40 year round. Those people don’t know how to read motor oil weight. Anything that ends in 40 will be in the same range of thickness at 212 F. The first number is how well it flows when it is cold. 0w flows better than 5w when cold. 5w flows better than 10w. 10w better than 15w. Plus a...

Well, the tractor is fixed. There is a metal guard “protecting” the hose that runs between both fuel tanks. It is the lowest point under the center of the tractor. Anyways, when I was bush hogging, I bent this piece into brake linkage. This caused a little brake to be applied and limited top...

Thank your for this very helpful information. I plan on getting cruise for mine. How do you like the work lights? Were they easy to hook up? How bright are they? Thanks

The hoses at the 3rd function valve are leaking a lot. The fuel filling hose is completely wet with fluid, and water is all over the bottom of the hoses. Looks like bad crimps to me. There is a little fluid back on top of the rearend where the hydraulics come out on top. I can't tell if this is...

What causes a 3 point to go into relief? I have Land Pride RCR1872 on the back now. That I have lowered and raised every time I start it and park it.

I live on a state road. On a section that looks flat. I when both ways to make sure I didn't have a gravity working against me. My RPMs go to right around 2600. I went 11 MPH both directions. I have the R4 industrial tires. I have one factory remote. I have a WR Long 3rd function valve that...
