Had the tractor parked in the drive that goes through the treeline on the property. Had two chickadees fly into the cab door/window. The first time, a couple days ago, I saw it happen. The bird was so stunned, it couldn't even sit up, it just kept flopping over on its side. It recovered though...

Finally got to 50 hour service on my M5040HDC (4wd). Went to change the oil in the front axle and looked in the Workshop Manual (that big orange binder) and it says there are 3 check plugs: one on each of the gear cases (or hubs) and one on the differential case (or axle). Problem is my gear...

Hi everyone. Does anyone have the part number for the "Illustrated Parts List" for the M5040HDC (with cab)? The part number I got from the Kubota site was incorrect. It was for the M5040 with ROPS (#97898-23280) even though it was listed under M5040HDC. (This is not the first time their parts...

Anyone ever put AW 46 hydraulic oil in an M5040 or other M--40 tractor? I've been told it's better than SuperUDT in cold climates where it easily reaches -20F, often lower. I have also been told that AW 46 hydraulic oil is only for Kubota's excavators, not tractor transmissions. If I do use...

Need help quick, like now. Making a deal on a M5040 HDC. Need to know what kind of rear snowblower I can put on it. Kubota makes a 74" but I can't get any info on it from their website. Do they make a larger one? Would like to put an 84" on so it's wider than the tractor (min. width is 73"). A...

If anyone can help on this... Have a Husky 55 Rancher, which has been great but now has a fickle clutch. The engine seems to be running fine. The clutch engages and moves the chain around the bar when I pull the trigger, but as soon as it bites into any wood it refuses to go any further. The...
