Same Rubin 120, Rubin 135, Rubin 150 Common Problems This Manual Covers
SAME Rubin 120 won't shift gears with clutch pedal fully depressed, stuck in current gear p. 165
Verify the shift solenoid is receiving power and check wiring continuity. Measure current draw at the control solenoid: minimum is 200 mA (page 165). Below that threshold, trace the harness for open circuits or damaged connectors. If removing and reinstalling the solenoid assembly, torque each valve spool to a maximum of 50 Nm (page 444).
Manual Section: Transmission ECU Alarm CodesClutch slips under heavy load, gear changes don't fully engage, transmission hunts between ratios p. 650
Inspect the clutch pack for wear and measure H clutch piston stroke: spec is 1.2±0.1 mm (page 650). Connect the tester and run clutch calibration through the Transmission ECU Tester Manual. If stroke is out of spec, disassemble the H-M-L unit and torque the ring nut to 500 Nm (page 657) on reassembly.
Manual Section: Transmission ECU Tester ManualEngine idle speed unstable, surging above 700 rpm with no load attached p. 519
Check idle speed with a tachometer: correct range is 650-700 rpm (page 519). Read active Engine ECU alarm codes from the error code reference. Inspect the accelerator pedal potentiometer connector for corrosion or damage. If idle hunts after cleaning connections, run the Idle Speed Power Calibration procedure through the Engine ECU Tester Manual.
Manual Section: Engine ECU Tester ManualRear power lift won't hold position, implement slowly creeps down under load p. 45
Test system pressure at the hydraulic diagnostic port. The Load Sensing valve pressure difference must be 16 bar (page 45). Inspect the EVUP and EVDW solenoid connectors for corrosion, loose pins, or damaged wiring. If pressure is within spec but the lift still drifts, remove the control valve and inspect the spool and seals for wear.
Manual Section: PTO and Power LiftPower steering feels stiff or loses assist, wheel effort increases at low speed p. 76
Measure maximum continuous steering pressure with the engine at operating temperature. The relief valve must hold 150-155 bar (page 76). If pressure is low, adjust the relief valve per the Power Steering Service calibration procedure. If pressure is correct but steering is still stiff, remove and inspect the steering unit for scoring or internal bypass.
Manual Section: Power Steering ServiceTransmission growling or vibrating at speed, noise increases under load in all ranges p. 689
Drain and inspect the transmission oil for metallic debris as a first step. Measure main shaft end float: spec is 0.05-0.15 mm (page 689). Also check rear transmission differential backlash: correct range is 0.24-0.33 mm (page 762). If either measurement is out of tolerance, disassemble the affected assembly and adjust the shim pack before reassembly.
Manual Section: Rear Transmission ServiceFrequently Asked Questions
Why does the PTO on a SAME Rubin 150 not stop when I press the off button?
If the PTO does not stop when the off button is pressed, it indicates a failure in the disengagement and braking process. Potential issues include a PTO brake solenoid short-circuit (code 41) or a command/logical status discrepancy (code 57) as listed in the LIFT ECU ALARM CODES on page 20-196. These issues can prevent the brake band (13) from engaging to stop the PTO.
What are the torque specs for SAME Rubin 120/135/150 wheel nuts, head bolts, and clutch bolts?
Specific torque specifications are provided for various components. Front wheel nuts are 490 Nm (361 lb.ft.) for 2WD and 360 Nm (265.3 lb.ft.) for 4WD, while rear wheel nuts are 490 Nm (361 lb.ft.). Cylinder head bolts require a two-stage tightening: Stage 1 at 50 Nm (37 lb.ft.) and a final angle-tightening of 100 ±3°. For the H-M-L unit, the ring nut is 500 Nm (368 lb.ft.) and clutch (41) bolts are 112±6 Nm (82.5±4.4 lb.ft.).
What error codes or warning lights do SAME Rubin 120/135/150 tractors use?
SAME Rubin tractors use various error codes for different electronic control units (ECUs). For example, the Engine ECU has codes like 'OVERSPEED' (N° 1) and 'ACTUATOR OPEN' (N° 2), while the Transmission ECU includes 'Errore Configur' (N° 1) and 'Alim. 5v K.O.' (N° 2). The Lift ECU lists codes such as 'ShortCirc. PTO' (N° 41) and 'EvBRAKE err ON' (N° 57). Comprehensive lists for Engine, Transmission, Lift, and Armrest ECUs are provided in Section 20 of the manual, starting from page 20-23.
How do I bleed the brakes or hydraulic system on a SAME Rubin 120/135/150?
To bleed the braking system, attach a transparent bleed tube to the bleed screw, fully depress the pedal, slowly open the bleed screw (5) to allow fluid and air to flow, then tighten the screw while the pedal is depressed. Repeat until no air bubbles are present. For hydraulic systems, specific components like power steering, front lift, and front suspension require bleeding by operating them repeatedly to expel air from the circuits, as detailed on pages 30-49, 30-91, and 30-92 respectively.
