    Steering Box Rebuild Problem

    When I rebuilt my L245DT steering the top of the shaft seemed loose coming out of the column and bushing. Before putting the steering wheel on I wrapped the column with electrical tape going up to the shaft , there I flipped the tape over and circled the shaft twice with the plastic on the...

    Field plowed not disked

    Back when farmers tilled ground that was standard practice. Plow in the fall. Spring Disc and pull a drag. Plant when ground was worked up. Now spray in spring, no till planting. Spray again in summer if weeds are bad and if correct beans were planted. Beans harvested leaving 1 inch stems. No...

    Decals L185DT

    Never ever understood Kubota on this. In 1982 went to Kubota dealership and the lady in the parts department refused to order me a complete set for a L245DT that I wanted to repaint. Refused to do it because they all came individually. Guess they do not like selling labels.

    Longer 3 pt hitch lower arms

    Ford 8n worked on my L245dt. Pain to keep changing. Now use tiller on bigger tractor doing food plots. No low range on that tractor. Suppose Kubota used short arms to run up the lift capacity.

    L260 won't start?

    Your injectors maybe fine. My tractors and trucks all blow white when cranking in the cold and not firing. Just unburnt fuel. Power stroke Ford is the same as Kubota you need good glow plugs to get them to run. NO STARTING FLUID!!!!!

    Oil leak in brush hog from unknown hole

    Get some brake cleaner and see if you can find out for sure where it is leaking. On giving it more thought just clean it up and put three tubes of corn head grease in. Run it if you still have some clean up to do. Any extra grease goes on the Pto shaft after pulling it apart. If setting out...

    R1 or turf? what's the best tire for which use?

    Use what you have. Load the rear tires and get chains for the rear. My tractor is near yours and I believe R1s require a different rim. My R1s are 35 years old and I am on my 3rd set of fronts. Bought my tractor used and could have bought a extra set of turfs and rims for 350.00. Never missed...

    l285 Steering Gear Box

    If you are going to leave your old Kubota outside you have to take the black cap off the center of steering wheel and cover every part with rtv silicon. Water runs right down the steering box and when full of water it freezes and you have junk yards just grinning. My L24DT has spent 35 years...

    do i have to cut too much off my drive shaft?

    Bottom line when you are sitting on the ground make sure you have a 7 inch over lap, and both the front and back half are the same length. Get a tape measure and a black marker and make sure that everything looks right. You will have to cut both sides most times to end up with two equal lengths...
