The alternator on my L175 is a mere 35 amp, or 25 amp, depending on what you read. I want to use a higher capacity alternator, as I want to have more lights, and a blower. The blower consumes 15 amp. Why? I live in Florida. August is a beast. Does anyone know of an externally regulated...

I have an L175. Its glow plug switch is starting to fail. Instead of giving up Benjamins to get a new one, I'm going to use two old school, waterproof starter switches. Cost, under $10. i just need one detail. Is the indicator coil in series or in parallel with the glow plug circuit...

I'm finally getting around to making an end loader for my Kubota L175. I bought a Ford 703 kit for it CHEEP, but it's WAY too big. I'm scrapping the frame, cutting down the arms and the bucket, but I have to shorten the 4 hydraulic cylinders. New cylinders range from $140 to $289 EACH. Need...

I'm building an accessory package for my L175. It will include a canopy and a front end loader. I buy the loader tomorrow, then there's cutting torch and MIG work to adapt a Ford 703 loader to the L175. Fun. Part of the canopy, to be built after the loader part, is a blower to keep me cool...

I am thinking of grafting a front loader to my L-175. What does the "Delivery Pipe Flange Cover" do? Would that be a good place to tap into the pressure line? I have searched the manuals and can find no reference to this part. I have the mount welded up, now to go to a coupla auctions to...

I bought my L175 to maintain my road, but a neighbor up the street splurged (I'm guessing) $30K + for a new one with a loader. It's a much heavier machine, maybe 30 hp, and when it drags its 6 foot box blade, it digs in without the need for scarifying. OK the time is coming when I must make a...

There are two plug configurations on the ND alternators found on Kubotas. Pre 1980's and post. The pre- has two prongs (wires) in the plastic plug. Post has three. What does the third wire do in the later model ND altrnator, in case I have to "make do"?

Whoever installed the exhaust pipe on my Kubota didn't look where it was going. It rested on the starter solenoid. Not good. I made a spacer out of 1/2" steel. I also fabricated two longer studs to account for the need for greater length. It now is about 3/8" away from the solenoid. The...

I maintain my own dirt road. I have a Kubota L175 tractor. It weighs 1880 lbs and is 17 hp diesel. So far, I'm pulling a 5' home built box blade, but there's things I'd like to do, like moving dirt from one side of the road to the other, that the box blade does only clumsily. What length...

My clutch won't disengage. I tried adjusting it, but it didn't help. If I split the case, and replace the clutch, here are the prices. Aftermarket - $150 +- Genuine Kubota $360 I have a Bridgeport surface grinder, so I can reface the flywheel. 1. Do I need to do this? Or is there a way...

I see some on Google, but they require I log onto some German site. If I can't find it here, I'll have to do that. My Service Manual and my Operators Manual do not have this. My electrical system is unmodified. ;) So far.

I will soon start on a ROPS for a Kubota L175. Part of the project will be a roof. I was lucky to score a golf cart roof in excellent shape. Looking at the L175, there will be no problem with the rear two struts. They will mount to plates bolted to the rear axle assembly. The issue will be...

My 1970s L175 is too old for a pre-packaged TNT kit. I grade our dirt road with this, so more control over my box blade would help a lot. What is the parts list for a TNT kit? Where is the best place to buy where I won't get ripped off? Any cautions? Has anyone already published this?

I just laid in some steel for my next project; a canopy for my L175. The uprights will be 1" x 2" x 14ga rectangular tube, and I have in stock plenty of 14ga steel sheet for the roof. Today, I'll go to the tractor store to get an idea of what the factory considers an appropriate size for the...

The "tin" is orange. I have the official Kubota paint. Pricey... What color is the engine/transmission/rear? Looks to be some blue-green-grey. I have lots of fading, and some rust. Need to paint.

I just got finished painting my new box blade. It was fro an Ebay plan, item #302203939592 . Pictures enclosed. All my neighbors have been anticipating this. We live on a dirt road. The County maintains the road carefully EVERY ELECTION YEAR. In between, we're on our own. Ah, politics...

I have a L175. :) It has loose steering. I remember, on old Chevy trucks, you could adjust the lash out of the manual steering box. Does Kubota have that, or must I replace the worm gear?

I bought a L175. Great shape mechanically, :), but a few electrical gremlins. I need to replace the fuse box assembly. The fuses are not available. I am going to machine something out of plastic, that takes the Euro plug in fuses found in cars, today. I need to know the amperage values. I...
