    PTO shaft for RCF2060

    I was able to buy just the 1/2 I needed. This brought the price down to a more reasonable quote. My dealer is just down the street from me. I went for convenience. Thanks again. :)

    PTO shaft for RCF2060

    I was planning on just buying a whole new shaft. I was just hoping I could get one without paying the dealer upcharge? I'm not really sure If I can just order the 1/2 of the shaft but this way, I have a few spare parts... maybe.

    PTO shaft for RCF2060

    Hi everyone, newbie here. Does anyone happen to know a good place to get a new PTO shaft for my RCF2060 rotary cutter? (shear bolt). Dealer wants around $400 and they have to order it. Google tells me there's lots of junk out there. I learned the hard way on this one. I now know what happens...

    A really bad day

    You can see the hairline crack (rockshaft section?) in the case under the right upper arm. I'm not an investigative expert but it looks like someone took a hard turn with an implement on the back and hit an immovable object with it.

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    L2501 - Check! Carport - Check! Now for the turbo. That's coming but for now I'm temporarily broke. LOL :ROFLMAO: (Please get another one ready) Bonus though, I found out the dealer I bought my tractor from does have a dyno. :) I thought about running a before and after but I'm not sure I...

    New L2501 Quick Hitch Question

    LOL - Shoot me now. I ended up putting in a request for the QH16. The more I thought about the top and tilt and top link hookups, and the fact that my attachments and most of my neighbors are all LP quick hitch compatible, I thought, why not make it easy. No messing with top links, just hook up...

    New L2501 Quick Hitch Question

    Thank you everyone for the overwhelming response. I'll have to pay a visit to my dealer today. I believe the top/tilt kit they put on the bill is the standard they go with when someone asks for that feature. I did tell them I was going with a QH system - I just hadn't made the choice yet. Of...

    New L2501 Quick Hitch Question

    Hi everyone! New kid here, although I've been lurking on the forum for a while now. (~2yrs) I just pulled the trigger on a new, soon to be delivered L2501 with QC loader, 3rd function and 2 remotes with top&tilt. I've been scouring the forum for information on quick hitches and seriously...

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    It's starting to make the case for keeping the fuel timing retarded (stock) when planning a turbo upgrade. You would think that the method of removing gasket material to advance the fuel timing would not only advance the timing, but also increase the travel on the cam, which would also...

    Beautiful artwork! Love the refinements. It just keeps getting better. I'm almost ready - Whatever you do, don't stop now. @Hahnsolo I can't wait to see the rest of your ship.

    Which model would you choose?

    Very nice happening in deed! Thank you for the picture. Great memory since it will likely never be that clean again. :ROFLMAO: I'm envious. I should be getting mine very soon if things work out right. Congratulations! XPup

    L185 won't start

    There are far more qualified experts than myself on this forum that can guide you through a successful startup, but I have seen it mentioned many times that using ether starting fluid on a diesel engine is highly discouraged. It can potentially brick your engine. Premature detonation could...

    Kubota L2502: More than just a pretty new face?

    I guess moving the fuel tank to the passenger (starboard) side of the machine made it almost mandatory to add the fender grab handle back to that side of the machine. I would like to know more about the fuel injector when that information becomes available. When I talked to my dealer a couple...

    Transmission slow down after using it a while.

    Possibly make sure you 3PH isn't maxed out in the up position. If so see if backing it off just a little does the trick. Sometimes if the hydraulic system is already working to keep it topped out, it will rob hydraulic power from the rest of the system.

    Landpride grapple hose kit fittings ?

    Refit with loctite 545 if you do have a leak. Threaded connections only. Connections with O-Rings shouldn’t need it unless you do have a problem with loosening vibration. 545 stays pliable if you do need to take it apart again. 545 also worked great on my new air compressor fittings.
