    Need Help with Drive Problem

    Kytim, thank you for that insight also. The mower is a John Deere mower and I had taken it off for the winter and put it back on just yesterday and the tractor immediately started acting up. I'd just completed two days of hard excavating with her and the clutch seemed fine then. Didnt notice...

    Hi Matt, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Its a single stage clutch (pto stops when clutch is pushed in). There are only 600 hrs on the hr meter.How big a job is it to change the clutch? Bruce

    Need Help with Drive Problem

    Hi Guys, My little L2500 has been so good to me but today she started acting strange. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the way that I installed my mower but as soon as I started cutting I noticed she was starting to slip a little on a slight incline or in the wet grass like the tires...

    Hydraulic Cylinder rebuild

    Thanks brother. My backyard tractor mechanic neighbour said that he does it that way also. I'm heading for the hardware store in a minute to pick up a gear clamp.

    Hydraulic Cylinder rebuild

    Ed, I tried putting one in dry but I dont have a seal pick. I used a tiny flat screwdriver but the diameter of the parts of the pison that you have to get by to get it to the centre groove dictate that it must be stretched. When I tried to put it back into the barrel thereafter, it just got...

    Hydraulic Cylinder rebuild

    So as it turns out, the Kubota dealer (by chance) gave me the wrong seal kit but was kind enough to exchange the wrong ones for the right ones. The centre seal was a peice of cake to get in as it was the correct thickness. I thought I was laughing but not so. There are 3 "rings" on the opposite...

    Hydraulic Cylinder rebuild

    I did a thread search and found one that said the cylinders were relatively easy to rebuild so I went ahead and got the seal kits. Maybe I'm missing something. The part that threads directly into the cylinder (believe its called the head) has an inner seal right in the centre of it. Does that...

    Hand Valve Under Seat on an LB2500

    I assume that its to isolate a part of the hydraulic system but it seems to be seized. I have to change a hydraulic line now so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

    New (used) Kubota Owner

    Hey Thanks Eric. The tractor has about 600 hrs on it and the dealer I spoke with yesterday recommended that I use 10W30 motor oil if I intend to use it in the winter - which I do?
