I bought a new John Deere 265 back in, I believe, 1991. 5 Years ago I face plated the mowing deck with 1/4 inch plate and at that point I had just over 1400 hours on the old girl. My thought was I might get a couple more years out of it and since I have a commercial leaf vacuum system for it I...

On my Kubota L35 TLB, the glow plug light is staying on. I called the local dealer and they didn't have a replacement glow plug control module in stock but they did have a new relay. I put the new relay in but the light stays on so I'm thinking the glow plug control module is shot. I'll have to...

I live on a lake and I'm planning on using my Kubota L35 to launch and pull out boat trailers. I've installed a towing ball on the front bucket and I'm wondering if immersing the front wheel hubs will allow water to infiltrate the 4 wheel drive system in the front end and damage the bearings or...

I own a 2001 Kubota L35 TLB. Lately I've noticed that the glow plug indicator light stays on much longer than it used to, maybe 3 to 5 minutes in warm weather (75 degrees). It never used to do this so I'm thinking either the glow plug or most likely some type of thermostat indicator is beginning...

I have a hill side lawn I've been mowing with an older John Deere 265 Garden Tractor. I mow about 2.5 acres around trees, gardens, etc. For the most part the old JD does a good job but there are some minor areas it won't go up when the grass is damp so I'm considering a 4 wheel or all wheel...

I'm thinking of going to look at a used Steiner with a Kohler 30hp, air cooled engine. I don't know the individual seller but according to the information the meter reads just over 100 hours. The machine is 4 years old. Years ago the better John Deere garden tractors had Kohler engines and my...

My Kubota L35 is in need of a new battery. I have the battery type from the Operators Manual (75D26R-MF) but I was wondering about where to buy or what brands to go with or stay away from. Would any of the large auto suppliers have dependable industrial replacements or should I just go to a...

When grading ditches or cleaning up fine material, we use to tack weld a grader blade cutting edge on the teeth of an excavator bucket. This worked very well when grading slopes, ditches and areas where a grader or dozer couldn't get. It turned the excavation bucket into a straight edged...

I'd like to find a source for guality weld or bolt on, 3/8 inch chain grab hooks. I'm going to mount some on my kubota L35 loader bucket and I'm very willing to spend extra for guality materials and workmanship. There's alot of junk being marketed out there and I'd like to avoid it. I know, I'm...

I'm researching a back blade for my 35hp, 4wd Kubota. I'm interested in the medium duty, model HBL by Woods/Gill. The unit weighs in at 528# for the 7ft model. The catalog says it offsets up to 45 degrees. It looks like the main beam swivels to various settings on draw bolts and is retained in...

The seats on my Kubota L35 and my J.D. garden tractor are split. It's getting time to replace them and I'm thinking OEM or after market. I can buy after market for about 2/3 the cost of OEM. Any thoughts on quality or comments on brands to go with or stay away from? The main reason I'm asking...

Does anyone have any information on one of these baldes? I located a used one and I'm trying to find some specifications. Having little to no luck on-line or on the Woods site. The owner says it's a 7ft blade but I have an idea it's 6ft. 1. Are they a light, medium or heavy duty blade. I'm...

The Woods RB72 back blade is listed as a standard duty unit for 12-40 hp tractors. My Kubota L35 is 35hp and fits into the higher end of this range and I have a few questions: Is this blade too light duty for dirt work with my 4 wheel drive tractor? It's listed as 272lbs and I'm not sure if it...

My old Toro walk behind snowblower is on her last legs. I've been looking at new ones, all different brands, and I'm shocked at how cheaply they seem to be made. I ran across a used garden tractor mounted blower for my hydro drive, 17hp John Deere. This is a garden tractor bought from a JD farm...

I'm thinking about a back blade for my 35hp 4wd Kubota L35. Anyone know where these are made? I'm not interested in any 3rd world pot metal. The last I new they were made in either the USA or Canada but times have changed.

I'm going top put a trailer hitch on the front loader bucket of my Kubota L35 Loader/Backhoe. I see some of you bolted a step bumper trailer hitch on the top of you loader bucket. Can you roll the top of your bucket so the ball is low enough to hook up or do you use a drop hitch? I have a bolt...

I'm thinking of mounting a winch on either the front loader or the backhoe. I'd be using it to pull docks and boat hoists out of the lake in the fall. Also for logs etc. Any suggestions on where to mount it? My first thought was the front loader on top of the bucket. However, that might put too...

I bought my kubota used and the tires had been foam filled. The rear tires look fine but the front sidewalls are just begining to show small weather cracks. Is there anything that can be sprayed or brushed on the rubber to stop or slow down the weather cracking? I have another question...

I've been looking for a York type rake for my Kubota L35 Backhoe. I found a used York RW with wheels, blade & scarrifier but I'm not sure if it is wide enough. The unit is 6ft wide and my Kubota measures 5ft-4in out to out at the rear tires. My Kubota Operators Manual says to limit the rear...

I just changed the transmision fluid in my L35 TLB. The specs say it's a 41 quart capacity but 37 quarts brought it to full after a 10 minute warm up. Does anyone know if the specs include the fluid in the loader and backhoe on a TLB model? I'm thinking that might be where the missing 4 quarts...

I purchased a used L35 in June of 2008. It had 122hrs on it and the previous owner had just changed the engine oil & filter. I don't know when or if the hydraulic /transmision fluids & filters were changed. The unit looks well cared for so I assume It's had good service. I'm going to change the...

I'm looking for a used landscape rake for my L35 Kubota. York has a great reputation but the tine beam doesn't look as rugged as the woods. How does the over-all quality compare between a medium duty Woods and a York in the 7' to 8" catagory? The reason I'm asking is, I've seen a couple of...

I've been looking for a used medium duty Woods back blade. I found a Bush Hog Model 70-02 that weighs in at around 550 lbs. I think the blade tilts, rotates 360 degrees and offsets. There are lines of rust runing across the face of the blade but I'b say the paint as a whole is 60% to 65%...

I'm having a problem greasing the lower swing pivot on my BT900 hoe on my L35 Backhoe. I read another post where someone else had the same problem. The zerk fitting is located with so little head room clearence, that a hand operated grease gun can't get on it. I tried an offset 45 degree zerk...

I'm thinking of buying a back blade to use for dirt work with my Kubota L35. There is a used 6ft Leinbach located about 115 miles from my house. From the picture & paint, it looks like it's in very good condition. Anyone have any suggestions on what a new or used one in very good condition might...

I've been looking for a used 7 foot wide landscape rake for my 35hp, Kubota L35. The Kubota has 4 wheel drive and the tires are foamed. I'm going to be using the rake to maintain crushed stone drives and parking areas. I've found a used Woods LR800 that's 8 feet wide and weighs in at around...

I just picked up a Service Manual on my L35 TLB and in the General Section it states, "IMPORTANT Do not fill the front tires with liquid." Can someone explain the danger or damage this can cause? Would the warning also apply to foam filling the front tires? The main reason I'm asking, I bought...

How conservative are the limitations in these charts? I'm looking at rear blades for an L35. Outside to outside the rear tires (Bar Tread) measure 64 inches. The chart in the manual says I should limit the blade width to 72 inches. If I angle the blade to 15 degrees, the end of the blade will...

I'm thinking of adding rear remotes (three spool) to my L35. I was going to go the Kubota Kit but It's no longer available. I've tried to locate someone who has an L35 with rear remotes so I could pick their brains, no luck. How about someone with an L39? Anyone out there with rear remotes? If...

Does anyone know of a good reference publication that describes and explains the various types and function of fittings, connectors, valves, spools, cylinders. etc? Something a begining do it yourself type can refer to? Something like hydraulic fittings 101. I'm not interested in becoming a...

I just looked at Woods landscape rakes and I'm considering either their medium or heavy duty models. The dealer didn't have a rake with a drop blade in stock, so I couldn't inspect the blade for quality and strength. Anybody have a Woods rake with the drop blade? Is the blade well built and...

I'm somewhat new to this site and not sure if this topic belongs here or in the hydraulics section. If I'm posted in the wrong area I apologize. I recently picked up a real clean L35 (122 hrs) from an individual. Now that I'm hooked on the new toy, I'm thinking of implements and auxilary...

I bought a used L35 and I got a manual for the tractor but there isn't any information on connecting and disconnecting the (BT900) backhoe attachment. I see there is a seperate operation manual available for the BT900 backhoe but from the price, Kubota is sure proud of their manuals. Can anyone...

I'm looking for a landscape rake for my L35 Kubota. I just looked at the Woods web site. The specs say the heavy duty weighs about 50 pounds more but the picture is poor and I can't see where the heavy duty is beefed up. In fact, I can't see much of the Heavy Duty model at all. I'm looking for...

I own a used L35 Kubota. On the manual diagram for the three point hitch, there is a " Lower Link Holder" illustrated. What is it made off? It looks like a rubber tarp strap. This part hooks into the yoke of each of the two lifting rods and ties the lifting links together. The manual says, "...

I just bought a used Kubota L35 & I'm thinking of buying a used York rake with scarifiers and blade. I'm trying to find out how wide a rake and blade combo an L35 can handle. The tractor is 4 wheel drive, 35 horse power and fitted with tractor tread tires. The manual says it will handle a box...

I'm considering a Kubota workshop manual and I'd like to know anyones opinion on their worth. My understanding is they do not include a parts listing and that manual is at an aditional cost.

I just got a price for a Kubota Loader TL720 cutting edge. The bolt-on, 60 inch, reversable edge was $320, including bolts! I must be living or pricing in the Old Days. I know you get what you pay for but doesn't that seem high. I'm checking with another dealer. Do any of you know of a quality...

I'm looking for a 12 inch backhoe bucket for my Kubota L35. Are there any high quality after market backhoe bucket manufactorers out there? I let a used bucket go by on ebay because I didn't know the manufactorer and I didn't know if it was quality or junk steel.
