Kubota L175–L260 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Clutch drag or slip
A dragging or slipping clutch on these L-series tractors is usually free-play adjustment or worn friction parts. The Clutch section covers adjustment, removal and reinstallation, overhaul, and the clutch linkage and shaft.
Manual Section: Clutch p. 30Gear noise in four-wheel drive
Noise from the front driveline on the L225DT points to wear in the outer drive, king pins, or differential and bevel gears. The Front-Wheel Drive section covers the front axle, outer drive assembly, and differential rebuild.
Manual Section: Front-Wheel Drive p. 6Hydraulic lift is weak or will not raise
A three-point hitch that lifts slowly or not at all usually has a fluid or filter issue, a worn pump, or a control valve fault. The Hydraulic Lift System section covers fluid and filters, adjustment, the pump, control valve, and rockshaft housing.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Lift System p. 47Hard steering or excess play
Heavy steering or wander comes from worn tie rods, spindles, or the steering gear, plus toe-in that has drifted. The Front Axle And Steering System section covers the front axle, tie rods and toe-in, steering spindle, and steering gear.
Manual Section: Front Axle And Steering System p. 4Charging system will not keep up
A battery that runs down or a dash light that stays on points to the generator, alternator, or regulator. The Electrical System section covers the generator and regulator, alternator and regulator, and the starter and connections.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 28Brakes drag or pull unevenly
Uneven or dragging brakes on these tractors are typically an adjustment or worn internal parts. The Brakes section covers adjustment, removal and reinstallation, and overhaul.
