Kubota L2250 Dies

[IloveJD]

Hey Guys, I recently bought a L2250 and it has ran just fine until today , as i was moving some manure the tractor suddenly started to lose power and started to die, so i stopped the tractor and it idled fine for a few seconds and then it died completely, so i tried to started it again it ran for a few seconds and and then it wouldn't start again. I am going to bleed the system tomorrow. Do you guys have any other suggestions? the tractor has about 2000 hours on it. Thanks and happy new year!

change the fuel filter and then bleed it-this might fix it-my l2500 did nearly the same thing last year. let us know how you make out

another thought- are you sure that you are getting fuel to the engine- another member a few weeks back had a similiar prob and ended up blowing lines out and that fixed his prob-apparently sucked something up out of tank and that blocked line-------luck

My Kubota B7100Hst used to sound just like that just before I checked the bottom of the fuel tank for debris!!

I agree, check for trash in the line or tank. Not sure where you are but if your in a cold climate it could be the fuel jelling also.

Once a diesel fires up, in general, there are only two ways it can stop. They are from fuel or air starvation.

Sure there are other expensive ways for a diesel to die, but 90% of the time it's either fuel or air. Of those, it's almost always fuel starvation. I'd replace the filter and, while you're at it, I'd also buy a second filter just in case you have a really contaminated batch of fuel. Buying two filters at time could save you a trip back to the dealer. If there's a water trap, check to make sure it's clean.

If both filters clog up then you should drain and flush your tank and fuel lines. The lines after the filter should be OK as the crud should have been caught in the filter. Unless you're sure the air filter in clean, why not change the air filter at the same time? That takes another potential problem out of the mix. I didn't check where you live but if you live in a cold part of the country and you have summer diesel it could have gelled up. Likely not the problem, but you never know,
