Thanks all! The problem still persist. I’m confident that the tank has some crud in it. The tractor has sputtered to a stop three times now. Each time I removed the fuel filter and there is no fuel coming from the line until I blow air back Into the tank. The tractor runs for an hour or so...

Thanks all, I was able to get it going by blowing into the fuel line. I drained all of the fuel and replaced it. I think it is a poly tank soit must be slime or sediment in the fuel. What is the best way to clean out the tank? How do I know if I have a fuel lifter pump?

Hi, I ran my L2550 out of fuel, even though the guage read 1/2 tank. Once I refilled the tank it ran for an hour or so then sputtered to a stop. Of course this happened out in the yard. I figured I clogged the filter and am in the process of replacing it. With the bowl off I opened the fuel...

Hi I was finally able to get tires for my L2550. Does anyone know what size socket I need to remove the front wheels? Thanks

Hi, I need to replace my 30 year old cracked and smooth turf tires. They are Bridgestone pillow diamond, front size 212/80d15 and rear 355/80d20. Any idea what Standard size is equivalent? Where to get them? The local dealers are scratching their head. Kubota is quoting$1500.00 for each rear...

Thanks for the help. It turned out to be the thinnest of the three washers was worn out.

Ok the 2x4 will need to go on one of the other blades because this blade spins freely and when I tried to remove the bolt everything connected spun. Any idea what size socket?

That’s what I am trying to say. Only the blade spins freely not the pulley.

Thanks for the quick reply. The shaft spins and all three pulleys spin. When the grass is thick is when I hear the noise. With the pro Office can freely spin the blade without the pulley spinning. If I put a wrench on the bolt the belt, puppies and shaft will turn. But the blade is free moving...

Hi my RC72-25 belly mower is making an annoying high pitch noise. The blade on the discharge sis spins freely. The bolt seems tight. I am thinking there is a key that has sheared off??? If so, what is the easiest way to get the blade off? What size socket do I need, the bolt head is kind of...

Thanks for the replys. I should have mentioned that the 12.8 volts was at 1500 rpm at 2500 rpm I was able to get 13.8 to 14 volts. I have not cleaned the other end of the cables. What should I get if I check at the alternator?i want make sure it’s not bad. Is this the best way to check it?

Hello, My L2550 will not turn over. I can jump it with my truck or use a plug in charger to start it. I checked the alt with a volt meter and it shows 12.8 V. I cleaned the terminals but it still wont turn over. The idiot light has not come on to show a charging problem. ???

Hi, Thanks for the help. It turned out to be a freeze plug by the fuel tank.

Thanks for your help with my issue!! It looks like the water is coming from a glow plug.?? Any further advice?? I have a video but don't know how to attach it. //

Hi, My L2550 has developed a major coolant leak near the fuel tank. I can hear gurgling and see steam in this area. I hope there is a freeze plug there. Any idea what I need to look for? Is there a common problem that could be causing a leak? A gasket or some type of low cost repair would be...
