Topic

If you surf across the various CraigsList sites all across the nation you will see the same sort of ads.

Sometimes they are for tractors, other times cars, boats, snowmobiles or RV's.

The story is almost always the same, a) need to sell before (soon to be wife) gets it in the divorce, b) need to sell fast to stave off foreclosure of the house, c) in the military and fighting in Iran or Afghanistan and need money for family back home.

Note the limit is almost always below $5,000 which allows for credit card or Western Union money transfer.

Reply to the ad, ask specific questions, you will get a poorly written reply by email telling a sob story and in no way related to, or answering, the questions you asked.

Best of luck.

Ken, we use a rack that has a narrow slit in it and clamps to the one of the arms of the FEL. The saw blade goes down into it like a holster and is secured there by a rubber bungee cord. It will hold up to 3 saws. On the other side is a rack almost exactly like what landscapers use to mount gas cans on the side of their trailers, it holds a gas can and bar oil.

It is something easily made up yourself.

Best of luck.

Actually Christina, if you took the time to read the entire thread, you would see that not only was there sympathy offered, but sage advise based on countless numbers of years of safe operating by many members of this site, myself included, in an attempt to educate the public so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

If that ma'am is 'disgusting', you have a slanted view of the world indeed.

Do us a favor, tell us more.
How long have you had this tractor? Is it new to you? Other than the running it at about mid throttle for that 15 to 20 minutes was the tractor just sitting there are was it being used? If so what kind of load on it? Any idea when it has been serviced, filters (all) and fluids changed. How long had it been since the tractor had been used without the problem? The fuel in the tractor, how long has it been in it? If recently added where did it come from? If you hauled the fuel was the container clean it was hauled in (water free)?

Based upon the limited info doubt it is overheating in that short of period and low of throttle but could be way wrong. In simple items it really sounds like something is stoppig the fuel flow. Air flow can also stop one but that does not suit some of what you are saying.

I normally buy fuel about 100 gallons at the time. The last tank I bought they were having a problem with that station's gas tank. But when I got home and went to use the diesel it was about 3 water blocker filters later before all the water was out of that fuel. It also required my draining the water filter or fuel seperator on the machines it was put in. (FYI the station closed the next day and is installing new tanks.) I had purchased fuel there many times as they are near me and sell off road fuel.

BTW, I am in Horry County.

Duffo, first many thanks for the kind words from your two previous posters. Sometimes you fix them and they don't bother to tell you, just go on their merry way. Your problem is idle RPM being too fast. You will never get the driven clutch to stop turning, but lowering the idle speed will let you shift the transaxle. I shoot for 1050 RPM,(Deere calls for 1100)but 1050 seems to work well. If you don't have a tach, go to tinytach.com, get their phone number and call them. There is a lady there that is very helpful and can tell you which one to get. As far as your serial number, look on the upper frame rail under the passenger seat. The number should be etched in the frame under a plastic cover. Your number should be WOO6X4XOO????. If it isn't there, you have an old one '93 probably. I think the tech manual you need is TM1516. You probably have an AS-11 motor and they have a completely different carb linkage and governor set up.

Hey guys, first time to forum. First time tractor owner too. Just got a 1976 Kubota L245 (2WD so I think that makes it a L245F). Does anyone have the owners manual or repair manual for this tractor? I have a lot to learn.<br>

Thanks

I do still have the engine. You can buy one from the dealer for around $2000. I would be happy with $1000. By the way I put the motor in mine in the rear like the newer ones. It was guite easy, and no exhaust or shifter modifications to make.

Sounds like the hydraulic pump is deadheading, a condition caused when flow is impeded somewhere on the pressure side. Quite often the culprit is a QD fitting. On most, there's one only a foot or two after the pump, typically on the right side of the engine. If you have a loader, it may be plumbed in there. At any rate, look for a QD that's either become partially disconnected - or is simply blocked with crud. After that, look for valves that may have gotten plugged up. <br>
<br>
If loader equipped, do you have loader problems when this happens? Steering problems? Rear lift problems?<br>

Unless you coincidentally ripped the tach sensor wire out while changing fluids, the issue is unrelated. There's a sensor screwed into the side of the bellhousing. It is triggered by the ring gear teeth that surround the flywheel. Verify that the electrical connection is still good. If yes, the sensor itself may have backed out in it's threaded hole. <br>
<br>
<b>The tractor must not be running when you do this</b>. If it's not already, loosen the sensor locking collar. Carefully screw the sensor in till it stops against the ring gear. Back it out about 1/3 turn, then tighten the locking collar. Start engine and check for proper tach and hour meter operation.<br>

Alos I'd check out surpluscenter.com. They have axles--2wd and 4wd from small vehicles that may work. Sometimes in the ad copy they spell out what make and model they came from. A call to them may increase your luck as there may be some hidden for years they have been trying to off. Just a guess.

I have a Kelly 3-point mounted to my MF135. Don't have any manuals, etc. and also don't know model number.

Suggest taking it apart and take the pieces to a local distributor handling seals like Motion Industries, Applied, Roger Zatkoff, etc. They should be able to get you fixed up.

Jerry;
I don't know much about kubota prices, but you mention it is a two wheel drive. That knocks the value down quite a bit, if you put a front end loader on it you will be dissapointed. Frank.

I hear what you are saying. I had not thought about all the torque with the width of that 10' blade. What do you think about an 8' blade? I am still trying to find a mounting system for the Kubota quick attach system if you have any ideas on that. I really don't want to pay 4-5 grand for a plow for my truck when my Kubota is just going to be sitting there doing nothing.
