This is what i have used for years!

Yes, I changed my HST fluid filters and the fluid as per the manual looking at my fluid. I can hardly see it on the stick because it’s so clear. The fuel filter was changed not too long ago and I just re-cleaned it and the air filter as well..

I do understand how that works and driving this tractor a long time normally when I’m mowing, I am in mid range in low. And it did not used to do this.!

2015 maybe..

Looking at this thread, I’m guessing it started a round of May 2024

No water this time around, and it is stored outside but covered. Fuel source is a couple local gas stations and my fuel containers are stored inside till use. Still seems strange it only happens on an uphill grade, and not that steep. I understand it will go down a little due to working harder...

So an update on this: I bought a diesel transfer pump/kit from amazon. Worked great getting stuff out of my tank (see pics) BUT, still doing the same thing, flat level land or downhill motor just cooks right along, as soon as I turn uphill the rpms just drop off! Of I’m running 540-550 it will...

Reading this with much interest and taking notes! My Kubota L3540 is doing the exact same thing, the strainer in the bottom of the tank was plugging up (best I could tell) finally got a diesel transfer pump and “vacuumed” the tank(see pics) and it helped a bit. Still works full power on flat...

So an update to this: I finally got around to messing with this, bought a self priming diesel fluid transfer pump kit from amazon for about 80 bucks. Got a bunch of stuff out of the tank, the setup worked perfect. See pictures below. I found no water by the way.

So looking back on my day, this is the first time in a month I’ve been able to drive my tractor. I had spinal surgery so I was unable to till now and when I got on the tractor earlier, I tried to adjust the seat cause I know it’s adjustable too, and I must’ve hit that knob also or something but...

You sir are my hero!! That was exactly the case, not sure how that knob got turned but that was exactly the case! And like I say, I’ve had that tractor eight or 10 years. I guess I’ve never messed with that knob!

Thanks, I'll go have a look!

So I have a Kubota L3540 that I've had 8-10 years. Was out mowing today everything was going fine, then I picked the mower up to move but it would not let it lower back down! Thoughts or ideas where to start? I did blow everything out with compressed air, looked for obstructions but I see...

I got mine today after the post office lost it for about a week! Scott at Hockfire saws was great to deal with, refunded my money then the saw showed up the next day, I had to resend $$! Anyhow seems like a nice unit (not started it yet). Very small and light, smaller and lighter than my little...

So I ordered mine today! And I’m going to blame it on “airbiscuit” because he’s where I saw this first ! Thanks alot, like I really need an eighth saw!
