My L355 is a four wheel drive model. As such, the front wheel hubs attach to the stationary front axle tube at a square flange with four bolts and two nuts on studs. I am trying to remove the entire hub assembly in order to fix an oil leak at the steering pivot point. It looks to me the only way...

The left drive wheel locks up when I move the control level from the forward position back to the neutral position. It has just started this. It seems to act as if the lever has been pulled past the neutral position into the reverse position and the tire is trying to instantly change rotation...

I have the service manual for my ZD21, but can not find the specs for the small electric lift pump. Does anyone know the pressure or volume of these pumps? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I recently purchased a Bobcat T300 with about 4,400 hours on it. As part of the pre-purchase inspection we found and brought to the seller's attention that the left side drive control did not operate as smoothly as the right. We also noticed the left front idler was worn. Seller said the worn...

I recently purchased a used T300 and so I'm looking for a reliable Internet parts source. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have an older ZD21 zero turn mower that has an oil leak at the cover for the left side brake actuator arm. After removing the cover I realized that there is a fair amount of gear oil in the area of the brake drum and shoes. Is this area supposed to have oil in it or is it supposed to be dry...

I have a Kubota ZD21 diesel zero turn mower that has progressively been getting worse about having periodic power loses. It normally does not happen unless I have been cutting for a while and when it does, it will not stop running altogether, but the engine speed will fall way off and only...

I have been looking for a repair manual for my mid `80's Kubota L355. I can order one from Kubota or get an Intertec I&T off of eBay for about one third the price. Does anyone have any experience with these? Many thanks, Mark

I recently purchased a mid `80’s Kubota L355 SS. It had a backhoe attached to the three point. With the BH attached the lift arms of the three point could not move. I have now taken the BH off and while doing so – but while it was still solidly connected, the lift arm control lever was...

Adding mid-pto to `80\'s Kubota I have a mid 80’s Kubota L355 SS that only has a rear PTO - from what I can tell (I’m a bit new to tractors). I have looked around to see what I can find for adding a mid PTO and have found nothing. I have talked with a couple of dealers and haven’t gotten any...

I have recently purchased my first tractor. It is a Kubota L355 SS with a Dual MFC. Co. #110 FEL. My guess is that they are mid-1980's vintage. I can not find anything on Dual so I am assuming they have either gone out of business or been acquired by another company. Can anyone provide me...

I have just purchased my first tractor and other equipment. I have a Kubota L355 SS with a DUAL 110 FEL. As part of the deal I also got a Kubota L2052 snow blower. I am a novice as to tractors, but not to mechanical equipment in general. The snow blower does not have any attachment...
