Can anyone tell me what the blue-capped device attached to the air intake does. As you can see in the second photo the cap is off and the wire inside has broken. Will it hurt anything to run it the tractor this way or should I fix it ASAP? Looks like a tricky soldering job. Thanks...

I need a pto driven auger that can access a 36" space. This would save me tons of labor costs. I'm planting 1,000+ grapes in-between vines of an established vineyard. The trellis system, which I can't remove, is a quadrilateral arrangement 36 inches off the ground and 18" wide. I only need a...

I need to spread 10 tons of gypsun - powdered not granular - on a 4 acre vineyard. The nature of the vineyard requires a 3-point. From their literature it looks like a vicon will work. Any other brands/models or even methods that I should consider? Thanks, IanM

My 1993 L2550 GST with1200 hours suddenly won't run. The engine cranks nicely, it runs for a second or two, and then quits. This has never happened before and I bought the tractor new. I recently replaced the fuel filter and it ran fine for several days afterwards. The battery is strong and I...

My three year old Honda GX35 has a fuel problem. With a full tank of gas it runs perfectly but as soon as the tank is down to about 75% full, it starts to lose power, stalls, and will even quit. If I hold it upside down it will run fine for a few minutes. As far as I can tell the fuel filter...

This morning my '93 Kubota L2550 developed a small water leak at what looks like a freeze protection plug in the block between the exhaust manifold and alternator. The repair manual doesn't mention the plugs (there are three on that side of the block) and they don't show up in any diagram I can...

I have a L2550 GST with a weak hydraulic system. The FEL will not push down with enough force to lift the front wheels off the ground and the 3 point hitch with pallet forks will only lift about 1,000 pounds when the manual says it should lift over a ton. This is not a situation that has...

Yesterday my L2550 wouldn't start. The battery was way past warranty and corroded around the posts so I replaced it. You guessed it, it still won't start. Here is what it does: Turning the key to the first position lights all the idiot lights but when you turn to start they go out. There is...

It always pays to carefully read the owners manual, so they say. Now, with hundreds of hours on my L2550 without an implement on the front, I read on page 26 of my manual, in typically terse Kubota style. When an impliment is not attached be sure the control screw is turned back against...

I discovered this forum a few days ago and have been very impressed with the wealth of information. It gave me a crash course on log splitters and now I just have to build one of my own. The best type for my situation will be 3ph with power coming from the hydraulics of my L2550. It's my...

I have a 1993 L2550GST with 800 hours. It is my vineyard tractor and I love it. Great machine. However occasionally now the FEL and the BS will not operate when I start the tractor. Not after idling for awhile or at any rpm. If I shut the engine off and restart then all is fine. Also if I...
