    Tooth bar and tiller

    Check into WoodMaxx. I have a WoodMaxx snowblower that is very well built and was a great value - Less expensive than other options. They also make tillers, backhoes, etc. You can buy in Kubota orange too! Shipping is free. The products are made in Italy - pretty good stuff.

    L2550 won’t start

    There is also a switch in the clutch pedal, (I believe). It won't turn over if the clutch is not fully depressed.

    L2550 First Start Question

    If your tractor is 4 wheel drive (L2550-DT) you should also check your front axle oil. You may have already done this. I'm not sure about what you could do to get the crankcase oil where it needs to be before starting. Filling with the fresh oil should have gotten some oil in the guides. The...

    WoodMaxx

    I purchased a Woodmaxx SB 60 snow blower for my L2550 DT 2 years ago. I have only needed to use it a couple of times, but it did a great job - even with deep drifts. The only issue that I had was during assembly. The ring that the chute mounts and rotates on was ovalized when it was welded onto...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    It was actually three weeks ago. I used my L2550DT and 4672 backhoe to dig down and replace my plugged well point. It did a very fine job, indeed!

    L185 Strange Engine Noise!!

    It sounds like your water pump has seized. You are probably better off replacing the pump instead of trying to replace the bearing. The fan should turn freely with the belt removed.

    Kubota L2550 Backhoe Attachment

    The Kubota tractors from that era (L2550 1985 - 1991) were designed to work with approved backhoe models without sub-frames. (Refer to the factory tractor and backhoe manuals.) You must install the Kubota reinforcing top link bracket on the tractor and use the rigid top link that is designed for...

    Kubota L2550 Backhoe Attachment

    The 4672a or BL4690 will fit your L2550 also. They are fairly common. You will want to install the reinforcing top link bracket on your tractor. Are you leaking at front axles? Is it 4WD (L2550DT)?

    Backhoe for L2550DT

    Thanks for your reply, Pat. I found the same result through Google. However, last night I located the Kubota manual for the loader 4672/4690 in pdf format (same manual for both models). The 4690 is one of the BH's that is approved for the L2550 in the chart. Comparing the 4672 to the 4690, they...

    Backhoe for L2550DT

    Hi, I have an opportunity to buy a Kubota 4672 backhoe at a reasonable price. Is this unit compatible with my tractor (L2550DT)? Quick replies are appreciated as I know that it will not last long. Thanks in advance.

    L2550 What is normal diesel sound?

    Okay, I poked around on YouTube and found some videos of L2550 tractors idling and being driven. I am delighted to report that they all sound pretty much the same as mine. (Not quite like the new ones!) Thanks for the idea to video. It got me looking. I appreciate everyone's suggestions and...

    L2550 - decent tractor?

    I am going to thin my heard as well. I have 2 Ford 641's a Massey 65 and an old Case VA. The youngest is 1961 The boss says that 2 of them have to go. I don't understand - there's still room in the barn if I re-arrange a bit. I am super excited to say that I have a 3 point snow blower on the...

    L2550 What is normal diesel sound?

    Thanks for the replies! The knock is most noticeable when the engine is idling. Is isn't a deep knock like a rod bearing, but sharp knock like a gas engine "dieseling" (as older cars with carburetors would do when you shut them off and kept running without ignition). I will adjust the valves...

    L2550 What is normal diesel sound?

    Hello - New to the forum and Kubota tractors. I recently upgraded from 1950's Ford tractors to a 1986 L2550 DT. I am pretty good with a wrench for the most part. So, I get a pretty good deal on this 4WD with 1150 hrs and a loader on it and bring it home. I replaced leaky front axle seals, and...

    L2550 - decent tractor?

    I recently bought a 1986 L2550 DT. It had fairly low hours, but I had to replace seals in the front axles. I understand that this is fairly common when they have a loader. It cost a couple of hundred bucks for parts and took a weekend. I wasn't trying to do it quickly. If yours is not 4WD then...
