I have removed everything on the cylinder and should be able to slide it out of the machine. Nothing I do will move it all. I can get it to turn some in the holes but it will not slide out. Does anyone have any input on where to go from here? Thanks Mike

The steering post tube broke at the base. I had the steering post welded back together. After reassembly, the tractor self steers. The front wheels have a mind of their own. Sitting idling, the wheels start moving left to right. All we did was repair the broken steering post tube. The steering...

I have a Takeuchi skidsteer with a Kubota engine. The machine has 300 hours and is running hot. The upper radiator hose is sucked flat. We have replaced the radiator cap and it still sucks flat. We have checked everything but the thermostat. Could it be as simple as a bad hose?

I have an older (2000) R-420. It won't move forward or reverse. After some period of time, it will magically go back to work. It will work for a month and then quit. Everything electrical checks good when it's down. What can I be missing? Thanks, Mike

My l-4600 was returned from rental Saturday. This morning, it was apparent that the customer was hydroseeding and sprayed the machine with rye grass seed. Now, everywhere there is dirt and moisture, there is grass. My question is, can I use Round Up or does anyone have a preferred spray for this...

I have a 2000 R420 loader. The engine will only accelerate to 2000 rpm and kind of slowly. I changed the filters and still have the problem. It's running on all cylinders. I did the injector test. The linkage moves all the way to wide open. The only thing that comes to my mind is a bad turbo...

As a last resort, I'm going to ask a non Kubota question. I have 2 10yr old Case 420 skid steer loaders that are eating radiators like they are free. I had both radiators blow out the top tanks within 2 weeks. I replaced both and they blew out within 2 jobs. I ordered 2 more from oem, did a...

I'm installing a new engine in my L3240. In the process, the front wheel drive pilot shaft pulled out and it's rear coupler dropped. My question is, how do I attack this thing. It appears that the clutch housing should be separated from the mid case. Would that expose the shaft connector at the...

D1703 engine parts for sale I have a Kubota d1703 engine from an L3240 with a cracked block. I have all the external parts. If you need a head, water pump, alternator etc, let me know. Mike

I have an l45 that is blowing the fuse to what is referred to as a tm-2 controller. With it blown, the cranking system is dead. My question is, what is a tm controller. I don't find reference to it in the workshop manual. Thanks in advance, Mike

I have a problem with rental customers raising loaders to high and dumping debris on the hoods of my tractors. Is there a logical way to limit how high the loader will raise. I would like to limit it to about 6.5 feet. I doubt there is a way but I'm interested enough to ask. The machines are...

I ordered one of these from Coleman's for a skidsteer loader. I thought I would tell everyone about it. It's a nice seat and would probably adapt for most tractor use. It's heavy and pretty sweet for $94.00. /www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/Replacement-Vinyl-Operator-s-Seat---Black-799735/...

I have a Problem with my KX71. One of the ground travel control levers got floppy and won't return to neutral. The linkage is free and lubricated. My question is, do the springs in the valve body center the control arms? There are no external springs so I'm assuming that's the case. Otherwise...

I'm getting my butt kicked by a little bitty 3 cyl diesel engine. I need to know if there are any tricks to the trade. One of the main bearing carriers will not go back into the hole in the block that it came out of. Of course it has to be torqued on the driveshaft first but it won't go in on or...

I just started piecing a 3 cyl diesel back together. The main bearings are confusing me. There are 3 that have oil slots and 3 without. Do the unslotted halves go to the bottom or visa versa?

This is an info request for no purpose other than to satisfy my curiosity. I bought a new Biljax man lift. The lift has a Kubota 2 cylinder water cooled. gasoline engine. The sweet little engine looks exactly like a Kubota diesel. My question is, was this engine built in an either/or fashion...

One of my non Kubota machines has a small Perkins diesel engine. I'm rebuilding the engine. The problem I have encountered is getting rod bearings. They are available in standard for $140.00. That's to high but doable. 10 over bearings are $925.00. I have tried to find out what the difference in...

I managed to drill a 1/4 inch hole into a plastic fuel tank. Does anyone have a simple way to patch it or am I screwed?

I live in SC. I don't know of ever having diesel fuel jell. Problem is, I don't know that it hasn't and I didn't realize it while wondering why a machine wouldn't run right while cold. We have a few days (occasionally) of single digit temps. My question is, how low and how long does it take for...

I am trying to finish assembling my l3240. The problem I have is a leak at the internal 4wd propeller shaft. With the propeller shaft to the front axle removed, I can pull the internal shaft an inch or so forward and out of the shaft seal and a fluid flow starts. . Push it back into the seal...
