Hi. I've got a couple of issues with my old kubota. The first thing is I'm getting oil dripping from the rear axle / hubs. I haven't looked to see the problem yet but could anyone tell me do these tractors have oil in the hubs? Or should they be dry when I take them apart? I assume if the hubs...

I've just noticed my old ZL2201 (L245) has got black sticky gunge around the wheel centre on the rear wheel. Would this be a leaking oil seal? Or is it to do with the brakes leaking fluid? I've not taken the wheel off to look into it yet as I've only just noticed it. There's no drops on the...

Thanks D2Cat will look to see if I can find the the post. If not will PM you to see if you can help. Thanks again appreciate the offer to help look for info/post on this as been trying to sort this out for quite sometime now so would like to get it done soon as poss really. Thanks Stu

Wolf man has come to rescue again. Thanks loads. I will get looking on EBay as these LED bulbs have the correct off set bins holding them in there holder. The 100watt bulbs look nice just unsure about the price however the 80watt look good. The price is reasonable & they should be bright enough...

Interesting thread as I have similar issues trying to fit auxiliary hydraulics to the rear of my old L245. I have the same proem in that I know no think about hydraulics so have been struggling to get anywhere. My main problem is not having any existing pipes or connectors to plug into etc. I...

Hi all. I've. It had a chance to look through the various links Poeple have posted for the bulbs I'm after. However the bulbs in my headlights are the same to look at as a standard car stop/tail light bulb with offset pins holding the bulb in the holder. My bulbs are rated 35watt main beam...

Re: Help wiv my headlights I see one of the photos of the bulb holder came out ok. I've just taken anouther photo of the actual bulb so hopefully it will upload when I post this reply. Thanks again for all your help & time Stu

Re: Help wiv my headlights Hi Billrigsby. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunantly the bulbs you gave me links too are all the wrong type of fittings. I e just tryed to upload some photos of the bulb & bulbholder but unable too get the photos up. I think I will have to try to find a pair of...

I own a ZL2201 (L245) the problem I have is the bulbs in the headlights are both blown ' after looking everywhere I can think of have been unable to locate any replacements. Does anyone know if there's anywhere I can buy either LED's or halligen bulbs to fit the original bulb holder? I'm...

Thanks for the replys. I'm not too worried about keeping it 100% original but would like to keep it fairly original. I have thought about using LEDs as good powers for low drain on battery etc however I have seen any that look simmiler to the originals. I did think of making brackets up to mount...

Hi All. I've got a old ZL2201 (L245) it's in great condition for it's age. Obviously it has a few minor issues. I need to sort out the electrics as the lights don't work & it needs a new ignition switch. These are not a problem. My question is as I will be sorting the wiring out I would like to...

In reply to Russel Kings answer. Would I be correct in thinking this knob is a valve or the flow to the hydraulics & 3pt linkage? Therefore if so would I be right assuming S =slow with F =fast ? If this is correct does this only affect the rear link arms or the complete hydroillic system? Sorry...

Thanks again IWman & Geo for the replies. Thinking about what you've said I may go down the route of plumbing a oil cooler into the front pump therefore giving me the extra fluid if needed but also keeping the existing fluid cooler & topped up at all times. Thinking about it now had I known how...

Thanks guys for the replies. So would I be correct thinking I would best by just tapping into the flow & return pipes coming from the engines hydraulic pump, going to another pump off the front PTO, with this pump powering the attachments via quick connect couplings? Although you say once this...

Thanks Gus your help is appreciated. Wolfman from what your saying it's best/easiest to use the hydraulic line on machine for the fluid supply. Excuses me for sounding stupid as this is all new to me. If I'm taking fluid from my machine to be pressured up by a pump at front of engine won't that...
