What fun is that to pay someone else to do it? It cost me all of $40 for the seal kit.

It's been a while since I posted my question. Had to delay the repair but the leak got so bad it forced it. I ordered the seal kit from my local dealer, one was in stock at a different branch and it was in my hands in two days. Went at it this morning. The pic above is just about exactly what I...

Thanks for the info from all. Never thought a cylinder rod would bend under normal use. One issue I have is, looking at the parts diagrams, there are 3 different diagrams, appears to be of different serial numbers. Two of the diagrams use the same part number for the seals, but one has a...

Thanks. I can see it takes a spanner to pull the "head" as they call it off, but there are seals shown on both ends of the head and piston, shown as part 070. The description says "kit seal". Do they come as a kit?

Hello, I have a L2550 with a LA 450 front end loader. Recently, one of the boom lift cylinders is dripping hydraulic oil quit a bit, A few drops wouldn't concern me, but this is getting worse. I've never pulled a cylinder apart to replace seals before. I found a parts diagram, one type of seal...

I put a volt meter on my system when I installed the new alternator, and it appears the battery is fully charged. Every once in a while, when I go to start, the starter doesn't engage in the start position of the key. The dash lights go dim too. I let off the key, try again, sometimes takes...

As an update to my tractor. Dave did provide me with testing info for the alternator and regulator. The alternator tested faulty, plus I found a badly corroded wire to the regulator. So after a couple emails/conversations with Dave, I decided to replace the alternator with a one wire unit and...

I posted I have an external regulator, or I said I took the cover off of the regulator. The parts manual I have lists the alternator number is 15253-64010. Seems a popular piece used on many applications. Quite a few places sell them both new and reman.

I have owned this tractor for about 6 years. In the past month or so, the battery has gone from weak to dead. I replaced the battery less than two years ago, not knowing how old the one in it was. I searched here for threads about charging problems, diagnosis, etc. I have cleaned the battery...

Thanks to this forum and all those that offer their help and experiences to keep these tractors running. It is priceless! Thanks.

I found Messicks. I have a parts manual and had the part numbers for the o-rings and washers. Messicks didn't have a listing on on of them. But I copied the prices down, and when I went to the Kubota dealer, his price was a tad better! Should have them next week. I'll wait for a warm day to do...

What source are you using for on line parts? The reason I ask, the dealer I use is in the county where I work, not where I live. And at the end of this month, I retire and it won't be as convenient to get to.

I had problems with the filter on my L2550, and yes the filter isn’t in a very good place. I took mine off completely and for a temporary measure install in inline filter. I have a Racor diesel fuel filter which has a good water separator bowl, and when the weather warms up I’ll install it. I...

Great, I’ll stop by the dealer tomorrow and get them ordered.

Not to hijack this thread, but I logged on to ask about the same leak I have on my L2550. Mine leaks (weeps) out of where the "holder delivery valve" (description from the parts manual I have) screws into the top plate. I was going to order the "o-ring" and the "gasket delivery valve". And...

I wouldn't mind teeth marks on the metal, but my seat?

I've searched here for past threads for replacement seat covers, didn't find anything very recent. Searched the innanet, found covers for newer tractors, but not for mine. Like others, the seat pan is OK, and vinyl was OK until I left the tractor parked in the horse pen! Who knew a horse could...

Bulldog, thanks for the pics. It looks like you roll back the bale right off the truck getting the weight back to the tractor. Nothing wrong with that. I just hate taking the bucket off to move hay, cause I use the bucket all the time! And I don't have the bobcat mounting plate.......

I saw that on tractordata. Add a bolted on spear which moves the weight out father, I'm sure the lift would go down quite a bit.

I have a L2550 with a LA450 FIL. Any idea what the lift capacity would be? I'm thinking on getting a bolt on hay spear and going with round bales instead of small square bales. But I need to make sure I can lift them, or the whole idea is a bust!
