    L2850 Creeper Kit

    What you are saying, doesn't surprise me. As impossible as it seems, a guy has to be optimistic in some pursuit to make it worth getting out of bed tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

    L2850 Creeper Kit

    Thanks for the quick reply. I am thinking about installing a creep kit in my L2850F. Thanks for the kit number. Is that all I need to start looking for a kit? My L2850 has 4 on the column, HI/LO and Forward/Reverse Shuttle. Would I have to sacrifice HI/LO or Shuttle to install Creeper? May just...

    L2850 Creeper Kit

    Can anyone identify the number of the "Creep Kit" for my L2850? I have the Operator's Manual (32430-9877-1) and Installation Manual (32430-9876-1) for the Creep Kit, but nothing to identify the kit. The manual titles state, "Creep Kit for Kubota Models L2250, L2550, L2850". I emailed KUBOTA...

    L2850 Draft Control

    I was concerned the "slop" could be an issue. No evidence of worn bushings. Nothing moves but the top link plate. The "slop" is the pin on the right side. That's why I thought they may use a tapered pin to eliminate any slop in the pin. Of coarse the welding would have expanded the pin only to...

    L2850 Draft Control

    The Draft Control linkage to the valve is broken off which got me to taking a closer look. Don't know how or why it would be broken. I can move the top link plate at the linkage connection about 1/16" of an inch. I don't know how sensitive the Draft Control Valve is, but would this "slop" affect...

    L2850 Fuel Cutoff Repair

    I started out with wiring a bench test thinking I may get involved in troubleshooting the transistor circuitry. Then found the relay was energizing as it should, but no continuity through the relay contacts. My test setup was made up of 12V battery, a switch to function as the key switch ON/OFF...

    L2850 PS Pump Pressure Test Adapter

    I seem to the have the typical 1/3 turn steering wheel free play. I tried adjusting the steering gear, no help. The common stated fault is the hydraulic pump. I don't like to tear things apart until I know the problem. I figured the best way to assess the pump is to check the output. Since my...

    L2850 PS Pump Pressure Test Adapter

    Has anyone made this adapter? I assume it would be thread for an 1/8" Female Pipe Thread. I'll have to check about hose pressure spec, but thinking of using a grease gun hose.

    L240 help

    Just forget L240, call it a L260. I have a L240 with L260 decals on the hood. If you go to a Kubota dealer and ask for L240 parts, they'll probably boot you out he door. Ask for L260 parts and you're good. Same tractor, L240 is gray, L260 is US. It's the most useful and versatile tractor I have...

    L225 Crankshaft Spline ID

    I want to mount a Snow Blower on My L225. However, I don't have the electric clutch PTO assembly that drives off the front of the crankshaft. I can fabricate everything but the splined coupler. Does anyone know of a source for the splined coupler? Or, a complete front PTO unit? Thanks, K-Mo

    L240/L260 Weep Holes and Antifreeze

    It's my under standing the weep holes are part of the crankcase ventilation and I can understand condensation weeping from the holes. I had been loosing some antifreeze from the weep holes and put some magic stop leak stuff in the radiator. I also re-torqued the head and found one nut a little...

    L260 injector pump problem?..maybe?

    I am not a diesel expert, but I'll relate my hands-on experience with my L260. When I got my L260 it would only fire on one cylinder while cranking and would not run. Found evidence of moisture, a stuck pump plunger and a broken plunger return spring. I removed the stuck plunger and polished...

    L260 Freeze Plug Block Heater

    I would like to install a freeze plug heater in my L260 w/Z1300 Engine. The freeze plugs line up with the cylinders and I don't know if there is enough clearance to install a freeze plug heater. The freeze plug application references don't list the Z1300. I talked to the "KAT'S" people and they...
