kubota l235

Hello all, I have a late 80s model L235 with 700 hours that runs great, but has started making oil. Somehow diesel has started making it's way into the crankcase. From what I know, diesel either gets into the oil via leaking injectors or a leaking injector pump. Since the problem has just...

I have an L235 (about 38 years old) and it's developed a leak that seems to be from the crankshaft grease seal. Got the grease seal replaced and did some more cleaning to remove the old grease & grime that collected from the leak. Oops! That grease had actually plugged a hole in the gear box...

Already been reading up but want to know if anyone else had a problem similar and what their cure was. I noticed while lifting the finish mower the tractor seemed to bounce up and down. Didn't give it too much thought at the time as I was in the barn on concrete. Yesterday I was booming logs...

OK.... Got my L235 running. Purchased as a unknown damage tractor that suposedly ran when it was traded in for a new tractor. It was started at the farm..... dealer thought it sounded good enough to take in on trade. Somehow then dealer decided they didnt like it and one of their Salesmen...

I'm servicing my old L235 and changing out the hydraulic/tranny fluid and the filter. I drained it from all four ports (front tranny case, rear tranny case, and both rear wheel housings). Manual calls for capacity 24 liters but I've put in at least 27 liters at this point and am still not...

I picked up a used l235 with 400hrs. In looking after the tractor, I changed all the fluids to get a baseline. Prior to changing the fluids (specifically the transmission/hysraulic fluid), the live pto functioned correctly. Now, I can not engage the lever, and if I engage the lever, the clutch...

Where can I get the best deal on a L235DT steering assembly?

Tried to get a block heater from Kubuta - not made anymore. I saw a KAT 11409 with a 3/4 thread for the L models. Does anyone know if this will work and where it goes. KAT says right front. Can't find anything in that area that would work. I want to rotate the engine for valve adj. The...

I need a new cutter for my 20HP PTO Kubota. So far the Landpride RCR1548 looks like the best option. all Suggestions welcome!

My L235 loader is very weak,only lifts a 1/2 bucket of dirt.I changed fluid and filter,no difference,the 3 point works fine.

To start, did diesel mechanics for 30 years. Been looking for a used shop manual but cannnot find one. Anyone have the following specs: firing order, valve setting, injector torque. I'm only looking at doing a quick check of a tractor I bought from a gentleman farmer. He barely put any...

I've got an older Kubota L235 that I need the service (not owners) manual for. Thank you.

This tractor has been stored in a barn. No oil leaks to my inexperienced eye. I'm buying a house with 16 acres. The seller have this tractor, and I think they would be glad to sell it to me. I'm trying to figure out what to offer. I'll need a tractor. There are about 5-6 acres of lawn to mow...

I'm looking for a service manual for this older tractor. Anyone have a good lead on where I can get one. I have not checked my local dealer yet just in case someone knew another source.

Hi, I'm a new tractor owner. My first question is the fuel filter selector - the previous owner always left the switch in the on position. There are two on positions and he did not know what the other one was for, I'm assuming a reserve?

I am looking to swap out my turf tires for Ag tires on my Kubota L235. Rear tire size needed is 9.5-24 Front tire size needed is 6-14 I would take rims and tires or just rims. I am located in North Carolina but UPS goes everywhere and I don't mind taking a good road trip. Thanks Larry...

I have an L235 dt with a loader. It has an open system. When I bought the tractor it had a 2 lever control for the loader. Since it was leaking a little I decided to upgrade to a single lever design. I purchased a Brand mono block valve with regen. I have been having some issues. The...

I have an L275 with a 3" hole in the side of the block (previous owner-induced). I've been planning on patching the block because the crank appears to be fine, but I recently found a L235 engine block that can be had for a good price and I want to know if it can be used, after a little work...

I just purchased a Kubota L235 23.5 HP diesel 4WD tractor. Looking for some feedback from L235 owners to see if I purchased a good model. Also, I would like to know if this tractor can run a Land Pride 60" brush Hog without any problems since the tractor HP is near the minimum HP recommended by...

My Uncle has a L235 that has problems. He told me that I can have the tractor...but oil is getting into the radiator. I live in southern Louisiana so I doubt that the freeze plugs have come out. I was told that someone borrowed the tractor and ran it without coolant in the radiator. My question...

Hello all. I've used this form a few times for information, but this is the first time I've needed to post. First, let me say: I know almost NOTHING about tractors. I recently looked at a Kubota L235 / GST with about 1400 hours on it. I do not know the year. It has apparently been kept...

I know this topic has been "beat to death" in the past postings but I have a problem adding a rear remote to a Kubota L235. The tractor has an FEL and a Gannon box scrapper on the rear. The hydraulic block under the seat has an in and out connection, both of which are used by the FEL. The FEL...

I am a new member and have a Kubota L235DT currently with AG tires. The tractor is fairly narrow and can at times feel a little unstable. I have seen in pictures that many people swap the front tire/wheel from side to side, which essentially puts the opposite side of the wheel against the hub...
