Thank you!

Thank you for advice. I'm definitely waiting for the WSM. I just didn't know if anyone had any hard-earned experience to share once I start.

While I'm waiting on a WSM, does anyone have any experiences or tips to share on removing the engine from an L2550? I have been slowing restoring one that was in a field for many years before I purchased it. It looked very neglected and sun-faded, but had very low hours (less than 400) and very...

I had the same issue on my BX1800. I just sanded the rust back - not completely off, just clean and smooth. Then, I primed it with Rustoleum Rust Reformer. After 24 hours, I spray painted with Kubota OEM paint. 2 years later, it seems to still look great and I have no rust issues. I don't have a...

I have always had good luck with Messicks.

I have a BX1800 with the same filters. Last year, I added an after market filter kit that deletes the two smaller filters and adds a large filter to the side of the machine. It has been a great upgrade and changing the filter is very easy now as you don't have to crawl under the tractor or...

I've got a BX1800. Sometimes, my starter gets stuck; mine is probably on its way out. At any rate, I just open the hood and, as I'm turning the key, give the starter a light tap with a hammer to get it moving. Again, nothing too hard, just a tap to get it moving.

I would really like to outfit one of my current tractors with a loader. I have a BX1800 that takes an LA211 loader and an L2550 that takes a BF400G loader.

As always, thank you!

I would really appreciate your suggestions for a suitable transmission fluid for an L2550 with a shuttle shift, i.e. not GST. I have the Operator's Manual that lists a few alternatives to the Kubota fluids, and I was hoping to find an alternative that's easy to get at a local auto parts store...

Very cool! Post some pictures when you get a chance.

That's good work! I'm always amazed at how much trouble replacing such a simple plastic fan is. I replaced mine - as well as the boots, etc. - and it took me quite a long time.

Great video and a super pretty piece of property. You can tell it was much loved. I got my first tractor - a completely roached BX1800 - this time last year. I tore it down and fixed it up over the course of about 6 months with no mechanical experience and it was a blast. There are tons of...

I did a similar repair on my BX1800, but, rather than that linkage, I had to replace the small hydraulic cylinder next to it. In my case, that cylinder was completely seized. After I replaced it, the pedal worked great.

Cool. I'll check it out when I get home tonight. Thank you!
