    l series glow plug effectiveness. / what is normal?

    I have a grey market L2000 (L225) equivalent. I've owned it 10 years and it is my first Kubota. It runs great and I love it by the way. On the L225, there is a small glow indicator on the dash. I typically engage the glow plugs until the glow indicator becomes red and then crank the...

    Replacing the Alternator with GM Delco Remy 10SI

    Still no issues with my alternator retrofit. I've mowed and done a few projects where the tractor was started and stopped many times during the day. I'm convinced- she is good.

    Replacing the Alternator with GM Delco Remy 10SI

    It has been roughly 3 weeks since I last used the tractor. No voltage drop and she started and charged just fine. I am happy with the results. PM me if you need a factory dynamo and charger.

    Replacing the Alternator with GM Delco Remy 10SI

    I am the first to admit if I screw up and will report back any dead batteries. You guys had me a little worried, so I pulled the battery lead and used a good fluke to measure, there is no current draw and after 2 weeks, my battery voltage didn't drop. The only concern I have about the 10si...

    Replacing the Alternator with GM Delco Remy 10SI

    The alternator charges for sure but I haven't disconnected to measure amp output when the tractor is running. At idle, it puts out almost 15 volts! I think you guys are a little confused on the 1 wire alternator. If you only hook up the main output wire, then true, it doesn't start changing...

    L225 steering question

    I put the Kumar kit in my L2000 (Grey L225) and it is working out well. Good quality parts. Don't let your tractor sit out in the rain without something covering the steering wheel!

    Replacing the Alternator with GM Delco Remy 10SI

    Background: I wanted to replace the dynamo and regulator on my L225 Kubota with D1100 engine and improve charging. Using the readily available 10SI alternator, I was able to do just that! The alternator just fits within the hood assembly and the belt will clear the frame. I wired the excite...

    L225 started knocking on hillside

    At the beginning, on the hill, it was a 10.0 After bleeding the injectors 2x, I'd say that I'd give it a 2.0 Running the old girl for a couple of hours, honestly it sounds pretty normal. I guess what I'm after here is- should I just buck up and replace the injectors because of their age and...

    L225 started knocking on hillside

    Ran the tractor for 2.5 hours last night blading my rode. I loaded it up a fair bit and it seems to be running fine. Thoughts on still replacing the injectors? It has 1600h on it.

    L225 started knocking on hillside

    I was looking at the aftermarket injectors, probably as you wrote this. Are they all junk? Looks like $45 - $60 on ebay Looking @ the kubota parts diagram for the L225, it is a little unclear what is the PN for a complete injector I attached the image from the parts company. 1.1 INJECTOR...

    L225 started knocking on hillside

    So, been out in the shed all night.... Before starting, I pulled the oil filter and cut it open with a pair of snips. I was happy not to find any nasty metal or proof of eating a rod bearing. I fired the tractor up and it didn't knock for the first 3-5 seconds then, the knock was back. I...

    L225 started knocking on hillside

    So- I haven't started it up yet- mainly wanting to get feedback before doing so. The fuel is fresh and about 1/4 to 1/3 full. I have a sight tube on the tank and I haven't seen any air in it yet. Before starting work, I put 2 fresh gallons in. I do heed your warnings though about water in...

    Kubota L245DT Loud Knock?

    NO- I drove the tractor back to the shed and it knocked the whole way. I must say though that it was a short trip up-hill and straight to the shed. It ran about 1 full minute knocking and my hope was to get it shut off ASAP to avoid / minimize any damage. Thoughts?

    L225 started knocking on hillside

    It is and has been pretty cold here for the past several weeks and I've been getting into my hilly woods to haul our firewood. I had a nice Oak that fell and I wanted to get it out. The slope is pretty steep and I backed the tractor down the hill to drag out logs. I made 6 successful pulls...

    Kubota L245DT Loud Knock?

    Today, I was working on a steep slope pulling some firewood out. I made about 4 pulls today and 3 yesterday. It's 19 deg F here and the tractor was running fine. I chained up a log and all of the sudden, it started knocking. The oil light was NOT on... Could this somehow be air?? Metalic53...

    L2000DT Front Axle Rebuild - How to?

    Well, I found the time to rebuild my front axle towards the end of 2013. It took a bit more time than I expected, but seemed to be an easy enough task. I did find a couple of bad bearings which I replaced. I also used all new seals during the rebuild. Now, about 8 months (10 tractor hours)...

    L225 block heater?

    Update:: I bought the heater from Napa, which was the only place that I could find it. Katz discontinued this unit, but apparently Napa still has stock because they were packaged with the NAPA logo just below Katz. The heater works great. Directions say to install in the center freeze plug...

    ok- I'm having a bit of trouble finding the Kat's 11461 available to purchase. Looks like Napa might be the only place?

    L225 block heater?

    I did look @ the tractor, it appears that this is a 32mm freeze plug. Kat's lists 11461 for a 32mm drive in heater. I presume you hammer the plug into the block.
