Thanks for the replies, ya'll. I put the key in and turned it back for glow plug (why, I don't know) and it broke off flush. I looked down and saw that I hadn't put the key in all the way and the big shoulder at the head of the key had not engaged. The tiny, keyed part couldn't take the...

Broke my key off in ignition switch and need a new one. Can start tractor with screwdriver but probably need the key to be on for oil pressure light and alternator. Help, please. Cecil

My Mitsubishi D2350 thermostat housing mounting bolts are badly eroded where they go through the thermostat housing. I'm afraid to tighten them very much for fear they may shear off. What grade and material metric bolts should I get? Thanks

Tractor went underwater a couple of years ago. I've been using it since but now I want to have the starter and alternator checked because they don't seem to be functioning correctly-go figure:laughing:. I know the alt has problems cause I can remove the belt and spin the alt and there is a bad...

The tank on my D2350 leaked all the fuel out over a 2-3 month period. I didn't check the fuel level before I started the tractor. It ran fine for a few minutes then died. Not thinking, I tried to start it a few times and it would run for a few seconds then die. I finally thought to check the...

I have a Mitsubishi D2350. When I raised the hitch it would lift a little and stop, lift a little and stop until it got to the top, making a howling/grinding noise everytime it would lift a little. It would lift the bush hog all the way up but it was really jerky and slow. I called Lemuel at...

Re: D2350 hard to shift-Update- I have an overgrown dog yard (about 100'x50') that I'd like to convert to a vegatable garden so I hooked up the bush hog and had at it. The dogs have been gone for a few years and there are several trash trees and a lot of brush and briars that have grown up in...

The clutch pedal hold down bracket is complete. Here it is doing it's job Here it is when I'm using the tractor Again, thanks for all the suggestions, pictures and such. It gave me a lot of food for thought. As was suggested, I could have used a block of wood to wedge between the...

Lots of great replies and suggestions here-thanks a bunch. Didn't have much going on this afternoon so I played around with it. I drove that piece out of the clutch pedal arm and did a little experimenting. I welded this together. It's ugly but it's only a starting point. Pictures of it...

I took a look this morning and saw what looks like a hole with a pin driven through it on the clutch pedal shaft. Went out this evening and took a few pix. Here's what I got. Anybody have any ideas or solutions? Thanks Cecil

Hi I've read about "blocking" the clutch pedal or tying it down in the "clutch disengaged" mode when not using the tractor for long periods of time so the clutch or pressure plate doesn't rust to the flywheel . Does anybody know if that causes the springs on the pressure plate to weaken...

Thanks Preston I got my wife's camera and took a few pictures of the balls and springs hoping they would be better and they are somewhat. Some of the thumbnails look better than the big picture-more focused. The grunge on the springs turned out to be sealant. I'll keep y'all posted with my...

I removed the bolts from the shift cover and tapped it with a hammer and it popped up and I removed it. You can see a small amount of rust on the shift rails which cleaned up nicely. There is some minor rust/corrosion on the springs and housing but they will clean up OK. The detent balls...

While grading my driveway today, I noticed that after the tractor warms up that I can shift up and down (first and reverse or second and third) but when I have to move the shift lever left or right to get to another gear I have trouble almost every time. It shifts fine everywhere til it heats...

So, what I did was to install the wheel hub without the bull gear in place. I used my lathe and drill/mill to fabricate a wrench to fit the axle nut. I tightened the nut according to the manual so that I had the specified preload on the bearings. I noted the torque value on the nut then I...

Today I cleaned up the bore and installed both bearing cups. I received the seal race and plan on installing it tomorrow. New cup installed for outside bearing New cup installed for inside bearing The service manual gives a procedure for preloading the bearings but it assumes that the...

Knocked out the 2 bearing cups and the race seal today. Pulling the rear axle housing would've been a much better way to do it if I had a shop crane or some other means of lifting it. I had to remove the 3 point hitch arms and links and the draw bar & attaching mounting plates. I got a big...

To replace the seal, the bearing had to come off any way so I wound up getting both bearings. Earlier, when I tapped on the wheel hub to get the axle out, the bearing on the other side just fell out. It seems to be OK but being this far into the thing I decided to get a new bearing. I got a...

OK, I've been in the shop most of the day except when I went out to get an impact gun and sockets. I used a chisel to enlarge the hole in the cover a little. Then I stuck a pry bar in the hole and pried the cover off. Easy. The cover only has the one side-I was mistaken about that-the metal...

OK, I took some pictures but I'm not too good with this stuff. May take a few tries. Thanks These were taken lying on my back under the tractor so it's maybe a kinda screwy angle.

I have a D2350 with a leaking rear axle oil seal. I have the seal but am having trouble getting the cover off of the back side of the housing to access the nut and lock ring to remove the axle. It's pressed in with no lip to pry under for removal. I don't want to destroy it if I can help it...

Stopped for a few minutes today and looked at the tractor and bush hog. Tractor looks clean. It's 2 wheel drive. All 4 tires are good. No slack in the steering wheel. I want to go back in the next day or 2 and get with the owner to start and run the machine but 1st I'd like to know what kind of...

I'm looking at a Kubota L200. There is a cylinder on the top center of the front axle. When I turn the steering wheel this cylinder slides forward or backwards. When I turn the steering wheel the other way the cylinder slides the opposite way. There seems to be a bushing or spacer missing. Is...

I moved this to the Kubota Ownin/Operating forum. Sorry.

Hi-my name is Cecil. My house is on 2 acres and I'm abandoning part of my old driveway and putting in a new one. It's about 300' long. I'm gonna need a tractor and grader box to maintain it, so I'm doing some research on what tractor to get and how to use it for the driveway. I'll probably...
