kubota b1550

A friend of mine has a Kubota B1550HST that starts hard, smokes heavily, looses power then eventually quits. It has new injectors and fuel filter. Air filter is recent as well. I'm new to diesel engines but who is your friend gonna call? Very occasionally it clears up until you move the...

Long time lurker, obviously not a poster. However came across a B1550, 4WD,HST with a MMM, no FEL. Just over 900hrs. Has decent maintenance and repair (few repairs) records and receipts, owner manuals. Looks well cared for and has always been covered/garaged/barned. I checked with a local...

The "oil seal" for the front drive shaft on my b1550 wore out (80 on attached diagram). It's the seal between the shaft and the guard tube(40) so I'd call it more of a dust seal. In order to replace it, I opened the housing (10) around the front universal joint to the front axle. About a pint...

I bought my B1750 HST/MMM new in 1993, still own it, and consider it to be the best major purchase made in my life. I did not buy a FEL or BH. Yesterday two of my neighbors and I worked on a small community project creating a berm of crushed rock to allow over length vehicles to negotiate a...

Hi. My husband has a 1992 Kubita tractor which he has kept in excellent condition. Only problem is that he now has dementia and put gas in the diesel tank! I took it to mechanic who worked on it and says the engine is shot and needs replaced. He offered me $1200 for tractor which includes mower...

Anyone with a Kubota B1750 or B1550 ? when you place the key in the run positon (before turning the key to start engine positon) do any of the panel lites come on? I would guess the low oil and charging lite would come on ??? My friends tractor will not start. B1750HST-D is the model, panel...

I posted this in the general forum and it didn't get much action maybe I should have posted here. I have the chance to buy a kubota B 1550 that comes with loader, box, blade, and a 16' trailer. It is a 98 with about 1300 hrs. The guys wants $8500 for the package. The current owner said it...

I picked up a very used kubota B1750 that is missing the complete 3 PT hitch assembly. I've been looking at this one on flea-bay: Kubota Compact Tractor Cat 1 3 Point Linkage Hitch Kit | eBay I'm wondering if this one will work? The specs say the lower lift arms are 19.68 " hole-to-hole and the...

have Kubota b1550 hst that went to change battery and unfortunately was not paying attention and switched leads and blew starter as it started to smoke. Changed starter as well as battery to completely new one but will not even turn over. Any ideas as to how I can fix the boo boo I...

How much would you expect a b1550 to go for(with mowing deck)?

I test drove a Kubota B1550DT with 1300 hours today, no matter how I tried to feather the clutch there was always a jerk. Is this typical of the model tractor or was it as I suspected a worn clutch disc?

Hi all trying to get an idea of what I should ask for my b1550 with loader and 4ft brushog brand brushog 2030hrs. Thanks

I seem to be getting hydro oil in my motor oil. I ordered the hydro gear pump o-rings that the Kubota tech suggested I replace. Do I need to drain all of my hydro oil and motor oil before removing the hydro gear pump?

I'm considering buying one of these machines for my son who owns 5 acres with a long, steep lane. I've owned 2 larger Kubotas and have been generally satisfied. These tractors have been on our local Craigslist for a couple of weeks. I think either could be bought for ~ $4000 or less. Here's a...

Hello Group, I have a Kubota B1550 HST that I bought supposedly needing a head gasket. Well long story short it was the head itself that was cracked and not just a gasket. Here are the parts I have replaced thus far. New parts: Air Vent Plug (bleed screw) All 3 new fuel lines New fuel tree...

New member here... I'm trying to do a complete maintenance service on my dad痴 B1550 HST Kubota. It has not been serviced in over 3 years since he passed away and I want to get it in tip top shape. So far I have changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, replaced the gear oil in the front axle...

My B1550 has decided not to start. The Battery is fine and fully charged. When I turn on the key, the dashboard gauges operate properly. But when I turn the key to the glow plug position, nothing happens (e.g. the glow plug light does not come on) and if I try to start it, nothing happens...

I'm looking at a used B1550. One job I could definitely use help with is lifting logs onto a wood splitter. We have an outdoor woodburner and get chunks delivered as big as a couple hundred pounds. I'm wondering what kind of weight the hitch on this tractor could handle if I put a crane boom...

Hi all I'm a new homeowner doing everything I can to avoid buying a throw-away Lowes lawn mower. I really like the later model Kubotas and I'm looking at a listing for a B1550 with about 2100 hours and a 5 foot belly mower for about 3K. I'm wondering what kind of life can I expect out of that 3...

I was wondering if the mid PTO of the B1550 is 1000rpm and same size as the ford 1120? I have a 1120 and I am purchasing a mower deck from a B1550 for cheap and with a few modifications fitting it to my Ford. The 1000 rpm is critical, otherwise the gearbox will not suit the ford. I have a JD...

I have an older B1550HST that I would like to find some attachments for, especially either a front plow or snow thrower. I also need a Hydraulic valve kit.

Neighbor has a Kubota 1550 with 1640a front loader and hydrostatic tranny. Not sure the year, but likely mid-to-late 90's? 495 hours, well maintained (as far as I know), in great condition (as far as I can see), original tires. He is retiring and moving in a couple of years, and wants to sell...

Does anyone know what model number the front blade is for a Kubota B1750? I've only seen one a couple of times in pictures. One looks like maybe a B2030, but they seem to be modified quite often. Also if you know that...is there a certain model subframe for the 1750? Anybody know of one for...

My father has a B1550. For years now the brakes lock-up has soon as you step on the brake pedal. Basically, the brakes are either fully on or fully off. Any idea where to start on this?

I'm contemplating upgrading from my B7100HST. My B7100HST is a late-model (I'm told by PO '98) with a Woods DuAl 145 quick-detach loader. I have brand-new turf tires and wheels on it, plus the original tall & narrow-style R1's. I love the B7100HST, but there are two things I feel it...

I have a B7100HST. It has a pretty low lift capacity on the three point hitch, compared with most of the other B-series that I know of. 400 lbs. As I consider upgrading it with power steering, I also am aware that some of these other models have similar (B1550), or more HP than my B7100...

Heres a simple toolbox idea for a B1550 or anything with a similar loader. All I've done is bolt a couple of 'L' shaped shelf brackets to a toolbox. The brackets were first bent to form two hooks that wedge between the cross bars of the loader. The box is big enough to hold some gloves, a drink...

Hi from Australia. I bought a B1550 HSD a couple of months ago and I'm just starting to put it to work. The engine is excellent (3000 hrs) but the hydrostatic trans is acting up. Sometimes it whines terribly in forward 'gear'. At times if I'm moving fast it will happily go for 100 yards then...

What FEL is compatable with a B1550? I had assumed that this tractor would be too small for one, but I have seen references to people attaching them in the past.

I just stumbled upon a B1550, 4wd, hydro, ps with 1100 hours complete with a 48" Bush Hog finish mower for $3,500.00. Seems like a deal to me. What do you think?

My B1550 has not been starting as well as it used to. It starts, but it takes more cranking than it used to. I still get a little puff of black some as it comes to life. My understanding is that a bad glow plug would result in white smoke (unburned fuel) at startup. Am I wrong on that? I've...

I purchased a B1550 HST about a year ago and it has always had excessive play (turning) in the steering wheel (about 45 degrees). I have also observed that there is what seems to be excessive side to side play (3/4 inch). However, I just noticed yesterday that gear lube seems to be coming up...

Does anyone make a loader for the B1550? Any brand and price information would also be appreciated. Info. on a quick change bucket and forks would be even better. Thanks....

My father has a B1550. Can this tractor handle a rotary cutter (bushhog)? If so what size? Thanks...

My father has a B1550. For years now the brakes lock-up has soon as you step on the brake pedal. Basically the brakes are either fully on or fully off. He took it to the dealer years ago - they charged him $500 and didn't fix the problem. He's not the type to take it back until the get it...

My B1550 is a gear drive model. When using the mowing deck the blades will stop turning when the clutch is pushed in. Does anyone know how the deck works with hydro drive? I would suspect that the deck blades turn always and that using the hydro pedal operates the speed and direction of the...

I just picked up a 500 hour B1550E today for mowing and need to do a quick oil change/air filter change/lube and get mowing on Friday before a Vineyard party on Saturday. I have a owners manual on order but I need to know the capacity ASAP? Any 1550 owners know the answer? Regards, Vino

I have a Kubota B1550D and when I press on the differential lock pedal, the rear wheels do not both spin. When I first got this tractor the lever that the pedal pulls was stuck all the way forward, like in the lock position. I don't know how long it was like this but I freed it up. The lever...

Any idea if you can add a front end loader and/or a backhoe to a Kubota B1550? Any idea of the cost? japlemmons@aol.com

I am looking at a 1994 Kubota B1550 4x4 17HP tractor with 277 hours. Any idea what it would be worth? It also has a plow, disc, 4' brush hog and a 5' blade. Are you aware of any concerns with this model? Could a front end loader or a backhoe loader be added to this model? What do you...

Does anyone know the operating temps ranges for water and oil for B1550 4x4 with HST?. I want to install some VDO temp gauges, since the factory gauge went toes up.

Last year, I parked the old Farmall and got a used Kubota 1550 which was much newer and consistent with the size of my place. Why a Kubota 1550? --It was being offered at very good price because the previous owner was having trouble with vibration when the clutch was depressed. It had only...

I first posted this on the owning/operating then discovered this section. my apologies for cross posting. I'm new to this. Just bought a B1550 with 600hrs on it. 5 years old kept in the barn all it's life. paint still very fresh even the...

My freind told me that to use a FEL with his 1550, he has to remove the deck. Is this true and unavoidable? If it is, he will want to step in to a more adaptable machine (a BX perhaps ) Any advice is appreciated.

I have a B1550 that when under load is blowing dark smoke out the exhaust and a mist out the breather tube. I think that is a sign of worn rings and may need an engine overhaul. Has anyone done this and what could I expect to pay a dealer to complete this task. Thanks

I just paid 4220.00 for a B1550, hst, hydr, 4wd in ok shape. Banged up here and there. Good price???

I just purchased a B1550 and noticed a small amount of smoke comming from the breater tube that exits out on the left side of the tractor. It may be more of a mist than anything and not smoke at all, hard to tell. Is this normal or is this a sign of a pending engne problem????

I'm very new to kubota and a bit daunted by all the models which don't seem all that different to me (yet). Anyway I am trying to get into a small 4wd tractor with an FEL and finish mower. A local dealer has a B1550 hydro, 4wd, fel, cat1 3pt, rear pto no other hydraulic outlets, no mid...

lokking at a b1550 with loader & 5 ft belly mower, appr 750 hours. appears to be in excellent shape. priced at $9,000. Tractor is 4 wheel drive, power steering, etc. Is this a fair price?

I've never owned a tractor before and I'm looking for my first. I am currently considering either a new BX1800 with a loader for $9,995 or a used B1550 with a kubota loader for $7000. The B1550 has low hours, I don't recall the number but the dealer is advertising it as being like new, and from...

I live in Massachusetts and want to use this tractor for grading my 2acres of land, plowing in the winter, cutting grass in the summer and other misc tasks. What should I do for snow plowing. Do they make a cheap attachment for snow plowing that can remove the bucket off the loader and replace...
