L2800 shaky, weak, Hydraulics problem

[DanielTerence]

Thanks everyone, did not see it at first since it was painted gray. It was oily so I'm sure that's the problem. Will buy or order one omorrow. Noticed today its making a grating, grinding kind of noise when i raise the FEL in addition to the shudder.
I hope nothing's been damaged.

Let us know if you have any trouble getting one, but the dealers usually keep plenty on hand. If you do have trouble I will dig out my spare, I don't need it any more. Just curious, have you been greasing (and all the zerks taking grease) every 10 hours of FEL use? It will make noise if the pins are dry.

I had the exact same problem with my L3400, I would bet a 10 spot on the hose. Change it and an instant fix, only wish I had beleived everyone sooner. They were also correct about the sight glass...

I am going to call Messick today and order this suction hose.. Is there any thing else you should keep on hand for those out in the field break downs? ( L2800 HST )

Hose and two clamps was $35 (with tax) at my Kubota dealer. But way cheaper than hauling the tractor to the dealer! Do you guys think I can change it without draining all the fluid and just catch some in a pan?

From what I have heard, you will lose about a quart, you might try parking the tractor on a sideways slope, that slopes away from the hose and see if that helps.. I have never changed one.

No need to drain... this is the suction hose and didn't have fluid in it.

An extra sight glass if yours is not upgraded, yet. Might as well get another air and fuel filter... what's your next oil change? Get the filters now...

Can you give me the part # on this hose. Messicks told me their are two of them in that area, one steal, and one rubber, and neither are l shaped.

Should be TC220-33330 - Number 140 in the parts pdf ~$26 you should have asked for the one that cracks!!! (ps. not really impressed with your dealer, did you tell him what was happening? he should have figured it out since it's a very common problem...) Oops on EDIT, Must be a new guy at Messicks
