I have a M4900 that is leaking oil from the oil seal located on the differential lock shaft. Want to replace it but can't seem to remove the lock lever spring pin. Anyone have an idea how to get this out? It is a hollow aluminum pin that is seated flush to the lower and upper side of the lock...

Had a leak in one of the 3 hoses connecting to my LA1002 FEL, so I replaced all three with new hoses. Now the bucket raises, lowers, and tilts down, but will not tilt up. Also the 3 point hitch will not raise. It was working perfectly before the replacement. Thought I reversed the position...

I have a M4900 with 370 hrs. The last few times out, it has been losing power after running for a couple of hours. I cleaned the fuel filter and had the same problem, so I replaced the fuel filter with a brand new one and still have the same problem. It will be running just fine and then...

The up and down valve on my Kubota LA1002 FEL is leaking. I installed a new seal and o-ring kit from Kubota and it doesn't leak as much, but is still leaking. Any suggestions to fix this?

Anyone know where I can get (preferably online) schematics for LA1002 loader? The up and down control valve is leaking. I replaced seals and gasket on the upper side of the "plunger", but it is still leaking. I am wondering if it is a seal or gasket further down, but am not sure about...

I have a LA1002 FEL on a M4900 that started leaking at the up/down control valve. Is there someone out there that can give me some tips on how to go about checking the valve. I suspect it may be the o-ring, but not sure. I removed the two allen screws holding the collar down over the o-ring...

I have 340 hrs on it and the FEL appears to be operating slower than usual. The only thing that I have done differently is to add a box blade that I pretty much keep it mounted on the tractor. Could hoisting the box blade be taking hydraulic pressure from the FEL, thus slowing it down...

I bent the end of my grapple while picking up and moving a large tree. Can someone give me a few tips on how I can bend it back into place. I was planning on torching the bent areas until red and using a pry bar. I've tried a small handheld propane torch once before to fix a bent spot and it...

I've replaced the battery two times in the last year. Found I had a bad alternator and replaced it at the time of the second battery. Now I find the battery is low again!!!??? Voltage reads at 11.98. Any ideas where I might be having a electrical bleed?

I need to replace the exhaust manifold and gasket on my M4900. Anyone have a link to a parts supplier that might carry this. I've tried to google, but the sources I've tried do not list this part. Thanks.

I have a M4900 with 300 hrs. Replaced the battery about 6 months ago and now find myself having to replace it again after 6 more months. Before the 2nd battery died, I noticed the alternator light was turning on and off. I put a new battery in and started it and the alternator light would not...

I have a M4900 with 300 hrs on it and a new battery installed about 6 months ago. Today, I was getting it ready to tow out to work site and it would not start. Tested the battery it had over 13 volts. I also cleaned the battery cables and checked the fuses. Lastly, I checked the voltage at...

A while back I bought a used M4900. I've noticed it has a small piece of metal welded to what appears to be a lock nut on the base of the top hitch just below the grease fitting. The metal piece is the diameter of a pencil and about 3-4" long. I can't find anything about it in the operator's...

Anyone have any experience using a stump bucket on a tractor FEL? I have a 52 hp Kubota M4900 and am contemplating one of these to remove 8-12 inch diameter sand pine stumps in Florida sandy soil. I have about 10 acres of stumps to remove. All are cut to within 2-4" of the ground surface...
