Need manual for L5240

[ChrisHoward]

I bought a used L5240 this week, private sale. I need an owners manual to know how to service it. Shoot, I need an owners manual to know how to open the hood to check the oil, lol! The seller had the hood open when I went to look at it, I looked it over, checked oil, etc, but never saw where the latch is to open the hood.

I took it out yesterday, ran a tedder over a few acres of hay, and then hooked up a 6' tiller and ran over a couple strips in the garden to plant some fall crops. It's a hydrostatic and it is great to handle these chores!

I got mine here, L3240-5740 here. The file is to big to upload so it may have been a link, use the search function. If you PM an email I can send it directly. Now if you want a WSM (work shop manual) I'm pretty sure you will have to buy it. There are some WSM's here but not the one we both need.

Thank you, I found it.

The correct manual will depend on if you have a L5240 or L5240-3.

The easiest way to tell if the sticker on the side of the plastic dash panel is missing is to look at how your rear PTO engages. If it is a manual lever it is a L5240, if however it is engaged by a yellow rotary switch it is a -3 model.

When buying parts it is often helpful to distinguish the correct model version.

I'd buy the owners manual from any Kubota dealer, before I downloaded from some of these sites found through searching. They can be virus laden.

Congrats on the new tractor.
