kubota l5450

Hello, I am considering buying this tractor. 1300 hours, engine runs fantastic. I have significant concerns about the amount of rust, specifically on the front axles. I assume this was used to load salt, as it is rot and not just surface rust. Everything appears to work as normal, fluids look...

Looking at changing pump, but worried it maybe above my skill set. Has anyone here changed one on this model? Up here in Canada they are charging $1250 for it so I want to make sure I don't screw it up. Thanks

I have added a factory rear remote to my L5450. Can anyone tell me which hydraulic fitting it uses? I expected it to be an ISO 7241-1 Series B 1/2" (see photo) like the other factory fittings, but it isn't. Is it this fitting but a 3/8" rather than 1/2". I also need to buy a cylinder for my...

I'm just now delving into the compact tractor market. I recently bought ten acres in SW Montana (Hamilton) and thought I was gonna get away without needing a tractor. At first I thought well, I'll only need it for snow removal and it will sit the rest of the year. Now that winter is getting...

I have started noticing that my drivetrain seems to 'coast' and then 'catch-up' when going over a small rise at slow speed. Seems most noticeable when in the lowest gear at mid-to-high throttle. Started a year or so ago but seems to be getting more pronounced now. Do I need to start worrying...

Are they the same?

Hi Fellas: Have a L5450 with the separate PTO Clutch Handle. When the PTO is engaged and the hand clutch lowered it makes a noise like something is slapping while spinning. While it is engaged, I bring the handle up slightly, but with the PTO still engaged, then the sound will stop. PTO...

A friend of mine has a 1995 L5450, 1247 hrs,,runs very good, this tractor started having blowby and eventually starts dripping oil out of the crankcase vent hose,,this started almost immediatley hes had it several years and this just started happening, I think its a broke ring but im not a...

Yesterday i was pushing up some saplings that the recent snow storm bent over. I pushed the clutch in, shifted direction, and when I let out the clutch the tractor didn't respond. I rev'd the engine and it moved a little. I checked for obstruction on the valve under the floorboard and it was ok...

First of all I want to say thank you to rbargeron for taking the time to walk me through the hydraulic hook-up, much appreciated! So I have finally finished installing my 5412 backhoe on my L5450. When I purchased the backhoe I noticed the lowest swing pivot was bent and was going to be...

Hello,long time lurker first time poster. I have had a Kubota l5450 since it was new, and have recently found a used L5412 backhoe, hardly used, and am having trouble finding information on how the backhoe's hydraulics connect to the tractor, Kubota dealer has been no help. All I have to go on...

New poster here. I would like to buy a used backhoe for my L5450. Any suggestions what to look for when looking at used hoes - and what to steer clear of? Also, my tractor does not have remotes. I'm fairly certain I can no longer buy stock Kubota parts for this tractor, but I would really like...

My owner's manual doesn't give the max hydraulic pressure setting for the L5450. Can someone give it to me?

Does anyone have any knowledge on a L5450. Also any knowledge on a 3pt link arm breaking off on rear end.

I bought this tractor last winter and it would light the hydraulic warning light when revved up. The manual calls it an "alarm for when the hydraulic filter is clogged". I'm in Mississippi, so I don't think cold oil was/is the culprit here. I changed the filter for a new Kubota hydraulic filter...

What kind of transmission/hydraulic fluid do all you L5450 owners use. Mine is a 1996 and of course the Kubota dealership is saying I should only use the Kubota UDT fluid which is around $85 for a 5 gallon bucket. I used the case hy- tran last time I changed the fluid but that stuff is way...

Greetings fellow L5450 owners, I have a genuine la1150a loader frame arriving for my l5450, without a bucket or quick hitch. I'm hoping someone can run a tape measure over an original la1150a loader and supply me the following dimensions either in imperial or metric so I can manufacture a tilt...

I'm going to look at a l5450 with hydraulic shuttle tomorrow. It is 4X4 ( think all were) with a loader (did they all have a loader?). It has 2500 hours on it. Any feedback on this model would be extremely welcome. Is the hydraulic shuttle troublesome? The advertised price from an individual is...

Well, after several years of looking at them as they came for sale, I finally bought a 95 L5450 with the everclutch, LA1150A loader and 4wd with metal canopy. The machine has a little over 2000hrs on a working hour meter. There are several items that will require TLC, but I bought the machine...

I've spent quite a bit of time looking through the Kubota Owning/Operating Forum but haven't found anything that matches my problem. It was time well spent however because I learned a lot. Now if I can just remember what I read or were I read it. My tractor is a Kubota L5450 HDT-W, with...

I need a tractor to pull a 7-8ft mower for a small grass cutting company I run. Currently I use a JD F932 front deck mower with a 72" deck but the mowing I do(rough fields) is starting to take its toll on it. As well I have a small acerage(4 acres) so having a multiuse tractor(bucket, forks...

About 6 mos ago, I sold my L4630 with GST. I wasnt using the tractor much and it was a lot of cash sitting in the garage. Since then, I have acquired 29 acres and am needing a machine to use on the property. Back half of the property is wooded, front pasture. initial use will be keeping the...

hi all i just purchaced a l5450 and was reading the owners manual it said not to run pto clutch in the disengaged position or clutch/pilot bearing wear will accur.I dont under stand is it a typeo

Just purchased a L5450 with a FEL, after a long search for what i hope will be the Perfect tractor, came with pallet forks a dozer blade and a rear mower. From the little i have read on here the tractor should suit my needs, Wondering what i should be looking for or careful of for the long...

I have stripped down the left front axle of my 1991-1992 L5450 to fix a persistent oil leak from the usual spot at the main king pin oil seal. In my case, the oil has been leaking badly out of the front differential, but not from the front bevel gear case. I assumed that the oil seal located...

Guys, I found a really nice L5450 in my town for sale. It has a LA1150A loader. Ther are only 741 hours on the machine. The machine is mint! He is asking $18,000. Please let me know if anyone is interested and I will follow up on a picture an a phone number.

We have about 1 mile of cross pasture driveway, hilly and at times with curves and not level to clear of up to 18 inches of snow. We are thinking of getting a front push blade/snow plow to mount where the bucket is. I am not sure, if we have one of those Quick Change mounts (haven;t...

As a follow up from our Loose Bevel Gear Bolts post, want to pose a new thread concerning front axle seals that we also had to replace. This is the seal that separates the oil in the differential from the oil in the axle case. If the seal is worn, it appears that over time the oil will flow...

We found a lubricant leak coming from the left front axle on our L5450. Removed wheel and oil seal cover. To our utter shock we found ALL the bolts that keep the Bevel Gear were unscrewed about a 1/2 inch. The inside portion of the oil seal cover displayed wear from the protruding bolt heads...

Does anyone have a picture of the radiator area for a kubota L5450 and how it is secured. I just purchased one and have to do a little work to the radiator area, specifically how it is secured. Also looking for anyone with "advice" for the L5450. Thanks to anyone who can help

Right next to the hydraulic filter by the rear wheel on my L4850, their is raised lettering on the body of the tractor that says L5450. Is the main body of the tractor the same for both units? Is the only difference between them the size of the bore stroke?

The left front axle bevel gear case is leaking oil on my 1992 L5450. I've replaced the large oil seal within left front axle case and that cured the majority of the leaking problem; but now need to focus on a different area. I've broken down the lower portion of the front axle case and bevel...

Hi: I have been a "lurker" here for a long time. Used information from this site to decide on the purchase of a Mahindra 4110 which I lost to a building fire. However, I was very happy with the machine. I needed something bigger in the replacement. Bought a L5450 with FEL as presentely shown...

One of the lower link pins failed while mowing (a fatigue crack, I'm told). The pin broke off just slightly inside the gearbox housing and will not budge ... even after I removed the retaining bolt, plate, and nut. Two dealers have assured me that there is nothing else holding the pin in...

Hey guys, My buddy has got a 1993 L5450. I'm wondering if he has the plug in the block to swap out for the block heater or if he has to splice into the radiator hose. Also wondering if you guys know of any other options. Been cold up here in NE and he hasn't been able to start his tractor...

I have a Kubota L 5450, 5-cyl, direct inject with Top-N-Tilt, Creep Gear, LA1150A front loader and Kubota's Heavy Duty fully hydraulic box scrapper, pre-air cleaner, etc. Only has 460 ( four hundred and sixty) hours; includes Bush Hog ATH Finish Cutter 90 inch grass mower; and Danheuser 20...

Just wanted to say that I have been having a lovely email conversation with Mr. Bargeron and he has sent me a nice copy of his L4350/4850/5450 brochure to feed my desire for this series. I find him to be knowledgable and enthusiastic about subjects that interest him. A big public thanks, Dick!

I have a L5450 bought used it has 1714 hrs 120 hrs which I have run the tractor, after rereading the operators manual again I came across a little paragraph telling to not ever run the tractor with the pto clutch control lever in the disengaged position as premature wear will result on the...

I am currently looking at a 97 L5450 4wd, 59hp, 5cyl, hyd. shuttle shift, everclutch, with 1450 hrs. Looking to maintain 60 acres of old field growth for wildlife habitat, some crops, road maint., fencing, etc. I,m a little concerned about the weight because their are some wet areas thru most...

As posted last week, the L5450 has arrived. And it's great. The attached pic (above) was taken at the dealer's about a month ago. First owner had greased every fitting every week - good news but I needed to clean off the excess. It was a real beauty after the hot soap job, but I've gotten it...

In the past, I've bragged here about my L4150. It is a terrific tractor - lots of power - heavy enough to handle serious attachments. Recently I've been looking for a quick-detach backhoe for it - but a decent one is hard to find. Two weeks ago I saw a 1995 L5450 with 11-ft Bradco hoe and I...
