I was taking my pallet forks off the L48 so I put the loader in "float" and went around to open the QA levers. The loader floated down - and caught my shoe! It was pressing hard enough I was stuck - couldn't pull my foot out and couldn't reach the loader lever. Luckily my wife heard me...

Back in 2019 I posted about fixing my tractor's ailing HST. It's been running fine since. I had bought a nearly new replacement HST unit in case I needed it - but mine only needed new cradle bearings, which I ordered from Kubota. An HST transmission rarely fails, but if it doesn't move a...

Maybe OTT beople have seen this Youtube video? ? It shows a large new-looking Deutz Fahr tractor going along on pavement and suddenly the front axle breaks off ! It appears the axle mounting frame breaks away and the machine starts cimbing over it, skidding to a stop with the axle bent down 90...

Best wishes to all for the new year - and beyond !!

Most K machines have a stop solenoid, activating to stop fuel flow when the key turns to “off”. Depending on when built there are two versions of what happens after that. On older models (roughly through 2002) the solenoid's rest position is RETRACTED, allowing fuel to flow. With engine...

Noticed this on a tractor with 900 hrs. If yours runs on pavement a lot, take it out of 4wd !

Posted originally in "buying advice" around 6 months ago: I recently replaced the HST cradle bearings in my L48. By around 2000 hours in service, they had lost most of their thickness. One of the 2 bearings had finally broken, affecting reverse. There was no measurable wear on other parts...

I recently replaced the HST cradle bearings in my L48. By around 2000 hours in service, they had lost most of their thickness. One of the 2 bearings had finally broken, affecting reverse. There was no measurable wear on other parts inside. Oil was perfectly clean (filter had done its job!)...

My 90-inch Woods RM990 rear finish mowers use a banded double v-belt 169" outside length with two 21/32" v-beads. The belt eventually wears out and slips. I used to buy the replacement Woods part 18990 but switched to PIX, offering the same part number at a better price. Recently I noticed...

Hi group - I've updated an old thread on TBN about my L48 and its HST. It's a great machine but is slower in reverse than forward. The original thread appeared on TBN so the present repair job is posted there as well. Thread on current repair job here. The HST issue is the swash plate...

The new popup over the top post in a thread is really annoying. How is it killed?

The external pump on a friend's L355ss was restored to working condition today. This L355ss has the 4-piece front pump drive and the second section's internal coupling splines were worn and stripped. A replacement part isn't available so our solution was to add four dog-point set screws to...

Not mine, no connection - just passing along because people have asked about loaders for these tractors. Link here.

These tractor models don't have a conventional generator light for the charging system. The owners manual says if any charging issues arise, two intellipanel lights come on together - the hydr fluid high vacuum and the low fuel lights. My L5450's battery has shown weakness over the past couple...

My L345's power steering box has developed a fluid leak. It leaks at the bottom front cover, directly into the top of the clutch housing, dripping out the housing's bottom weep hole. It leaks enough to empty the reservoir in a couple days. It hasn't soaked the clutch yet - I'd like to fix it...

Hi group - new OTT member here (long-timer at TBN, hopeless Kubota fan) Need some help with a neighbor's L225DT that makes gear noise in 4wd. Took off the side gearbox and found the idler gear inside the case is very loose on its shaft - like it's center bushing is missing. The gear is not...
