Hi Folks! I have an LA853 FEL on my L5030 and have had trouble getting the upper bucket cylinder pin to take grease. Now having reinstalled the FEL after a winter off, that pin will not take grease, period. The pin is 1" plus diameter and retained with a small (5/16"?) bolt and elastic stop...

Does it have to cost $10 each time I check my tire pressure, that's about what I have to pay for a pencil tire pressure gauge that gets gummed up with my unknown loading fluid. The stuff is brown and frothy. With the valve stem at 12 o'clock I blast air in 2 or 3 shots to hopefully clear the...

I bought my Kubota generator at the same time I bought my tractor, an L5030 back in 2005. The generator has few hours, it is for back up only and mostly only runs 4 times a year when I exercise it for an hour. I was very annoyed to find an oil leak after the last run....puddle of oil under it...

Hi guys, I've an '04 L5030 with 900+ hours and the Kubota cab. My joy stick inside the cab is a remote, of course, with cables running to the hydraulic block outside. When it is cold, the joy stick doesn't want to move, and I mean you would think the safety lock tab had been engaged! Up /...

I have been wondering about changing out the coolant and flushing the radiator and cooling system....my book recommends every two years. I've had my 5030 tractor for 4 years now and have not done it. My auto mechanic feels there is no need. Cooling systems are closed systems and not subject to...

Hi Guys, You've always been a great help with tractor questions and problems....so now I would like to ask about maintaining a stand-by generator. I've a Kubota generator, a nice orange one, same color as my tractor <grin> and it has a little, two cylinder diesel engine! As a stand by unit, I...

I've an L5030 and the cab is nice but I'm no fan of air conditioning and I'd like to take my cab doors off for the summer. It looks straight forward....remove the struts that hold open the door...a wrench job and then pull e-clips and remove hinge pins.... But I thought it wise to ask...

I've an L5030 with a factory cab and the joy stick remotely mounted inside next to the right arm rest. I forgot about my sticking problems last winter until they returned now that it has gotten cold again. I put my sub frame on and mounted the snowblower. I use the up-down to raise / lower...

My book says I am supposed to contact my dealer for this item on my 800 hour service: Adjust engine valve clearance. Any thoughts from you fellows as to how important this might be? I am quite a distance from my dealer and can't trailer my tractor to him so I'd have to pay the high cost of a...

My L5030 4 wheel drive requires an oil change for the front axle every 400 hrs. I just did that maintenance job on my used machine for the first time. I did not track how much oil I drained out but I belive it all did drain out....there is a drain plug at the bottom of the right and left side...
