    Z750 Injection Pump

    Hey guys, I'm finally starting down what will probably be a years long road of restoring my grandfather's L175 to 1973 condition-- which will probably lead to a lot more questions as I go. Today my question is about the injection pump. Whenever you are working the tractor hard and suddenly let...

    L175 Tires

    I've been looking all over online for some rear ag tires and I can't find anything that is exactly the right size. I see some that appear to have tires pretty close to the original ones on them. Does anyone know where I might be able to get them? I'm no tire expert so if another tire size might...

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 73 model L275? I can't find one that I feel is reliable anywhere- including in the shop manual. Thanks!

    Ether destroyed engine?

    The guy I bought my L175 from has been using ether to start it for a while now. I'd say because the glow plug wiring is broken. I've called around to various dealerships around the country and some say it will require a rebuild because of this and some say it won't. I want this to be a...

    L175 Restoration

    After selling my grandfather's L175 about 10 years ago I just yesterday cut a deal to get it back. It's still in pretty good shape but needs some work. My long term goal is to restore it and all its attachments to look and operate like they just rolled out of the showroom in 1973. So far the...

    Ag tires for L175

    I've noticed that many older L series Kubotas that have been restored have brand new tires on them that look to be identical to the originals. I haven't been able to come across these tires on the market anywhere. Any tips?

    A couple more questions...

    I know these questions might be better suited to a different forum (I figured I might get the most amount of traffic here), but I have noticed on a lot of pictures on there that there are some really nice look exhaust pipes and mufflers on some of the restored tractors. Also, there seems to be a...

    Decals for L175

    I recently bought my grandfather's L175 back from the person who had bought it off me a few years ago when I stupidly sold it. He took pretty good care of it (aside from spray painting the woods bush hog that came with it the darker shade of Kubota orange) and a few other minor alterations that...
