    Replacement Cab Lights - DK45s (2006)

    Has anyone found more or less direct LED replacements for the cab lights on a DK45s? I have one that failed completely and the others just don't give off much light. The dimensions of the stock lights are (pics below): 5" wide (with side mounts) 4.25" high 3" deep They are marked at 35 watts...

    DK45SC Cab Liner Mice!

    Before I just start removing bolts willynilly, what is the best way to get into the cab liner on a DK45SC? I've got some serious stink up there! There is a youtube video of a guy removing the top of a NX cab. Is it the same on DK? THANKS ALL! Billboe p.s. While I'm in there I'm thinking of...

    5inch minus spreadability?

    I want to raise a section of our driveway (where it meets the main road) about 1ft. I'm thinking about putting 5" minus on the bottom and then 3/4" minus on top. How easy will it be to "grade" the 5" minus? I have a back blade and a crappy box blade (and a bucket of course). Or should I go...

    KL451 Loader Bearing Box Repair?

    Hi All, I had a pivot pin come loose (see 1st photo) which caused (I presume) the ?bushing? to break on the bearing box (see 2nd & 3rd photos). This is a DK45s with the KL451 loader. My question is whether the bearing box can be repaired (by a good welder?) or do I need to replace the whole...

    i've had an oil leak at one of the plugs since the dealer changed my oil last fall. i finally got around to changing the oil myself and wanted to fix the leak. anyway, below are the two plugs and i'm guessing the one on the right (the one that was leaking) is already a self tapping plug... is...

    DK45s - Remove cab to replace shift forks? +13.5 hours!

    Hi All, My DK45s is in the shop to get the shift forks replaced. The dealer just told me that they needed to remove the cab to do it (an additional 13.5 hours). That is over twice the time they told me to replace forks. That adds up to 3x the quoted price... So, did they really need to...

    DK45S - Stop Solenoid Pull Not Working

    So, my DK45S won't start (cranks but no combustion). At 1st it was intermittent but now nothing. I believe I traced it to the stop solenoid pull not getting enough voltage. FYI, this tractor has a 2 pin fuel stop solenoid (1 pin is pull and 1 pin is hold; ground comes from the engine). Here...

    What's my L2850/FEL/BH/etc. worth?

    What\'s my L2850/FEL/BH/etc. worth? Whoops... I posted this first in the "general" forum but realized it would be more appropriate here... I'll go and try and delete that one. Also, I found the book value of the tractor (at Machinery Link) to be about $9000... That is for the tractor only...

    Front Differential TROUBLE!

    I'm guessing this is going to be expensive!!! The "7T Spiral Bevel Pinion Shaft" broke on my L2850... This is the shaft that connects to "Propeller Shaft" (I'd call it the front drive shaft..). I'm not sure if that is the only problem. I've only removed the propeller shaft so far...

    MO of a Killer...

    After reading Terry's post about his cat (sorry for your family's loss!!), I thought I'd see if anyone had thoughts about our cat's demise... It has been some months now, but our beautiful black longhaired cat "disappeared"... When he didn't show up for a day, I went looking and found half of...

    Tiller  Offset Tiller

    I learned the WONDERS of a tiller this past weekend! They are amazing little devices! BUT, the width of the tiller doesn't completely cover my tracks. I have my tires spread quite wide and may be able to narrow them but I like 'em wide (much too much slope around here for a narrow stance!)...

    Threaded view of Messages in last X hours...

    I'd love to have a threaded view of the "messages in the last x hours" feature. Then, when you click on a thread it would bring it up in "flat" mode (if you have it enabled in your profile). I find that if I don't get to read often enough the messages add up quick making the unthreaded view...

    Wacky Tach!

    My tachometer is freaking out! It works ok (at least it seems to...) at low RPMs, but, it jumps wildly & suddenly past redline when I push the throttle. I removed the cable and it seemed fine... I then removed the sending unit (where the cable attaches to the gear case). I definitely have a...

    Anyway to use tabs?

    Muhammad, Is there anyway to get tab characters into a post? Something like "[tab]" would be great! I posted a very simple table and it was difficult to make things line up! I tried "&#009;" with no luck... I know I could attach an HTML file, but, I just want it for very simple stuff...

    Oil filter pressure bypass

    Boy, they do like to make it confusing! I was trying to find the right Wix equivalent oil filter for my L2850… The Kubota dealer gave me one number that translated to one Wix filter and the parts manual gave me another number that, of course, translated to a different Wix filter. After...

    Backhoe  Trenching Bucket For Older Backhoe

    I'm considering getting a trenching bucket (6") for my backhoe (sorry, I don't remember the model at the moment... it is a smaller kubota hoe attached to a L2850DT tractor). How "standard" are these things? Any possibility that buckets will interchange between manufacturers? I can dream...

    Hello All! Just purchased a L2850 yesterday! Yeehaw!! It came with a Kubota backhoe (pto pump type) already attached (apparently, it hasn't been off the tractor in "some" time). I've dug all holes I need for the moment and would like to try one of the other attachments. BUT!! I don't know...
