Kubota L35 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Engine is hard to start or will not start
A no-start or hard-start condition on the L35 can come from fuel contamination, an air or fuel restriction, or a weak battery after storage. The Troubleshooting section lists the likely causes and the checks to make.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 62Insufficient engine power or overheating
Loss of power, colored exhaust, or overheating usually traces to airflow restriction, low coolant, or neglected maintenance. The Troubleshooting section covers these engine symptoms and where to look first.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 62Difficult cold-weather starting
In cold weather the L35 diesel needs the correct starting sequence to fire reliably. The Operating the Engine section covers cold weather starting and the stopping and jump-start procedures.
Manual Section: Operating the Engine p. 20Clutch drag or gear engagement issues
Trouble getting into gear or a dragging clutch is often a clutch pedal free travel adjustment. The Maintenance section gives the free travel specification and the service items that keep the clutch and brake working.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 42Overheating from a dirty radiator screen
Skipped daily checks let debris block the grill and radiator screen and drive temperatures up. The Pre-Operation Check section lists the walk-around inspection, coolant check, and screen cleaning that prevent it.
Manual Section: Pre-Operation Check p. 19Problems after seasonal storage
A tractor put away wet or unprepared can come out with corrosion, a flat battery, or fuel issues. The Storage section covers the steps to lay the L35 up correctly and bring it back into service.
