I am having starting issues with my 92 L2850. Won't start hot after running fine. Stalls easily.

I have an older L2850. The previous owner really did a number on rerouting/rewiring the electrical wiring. I’m getting ready to sell it so I replaced the battery and the cable going to the starter. When I hooked the cable to the post, the hot wire coming from the starter melted and the...

So first of I made a stupid mistake. Someone left the ignition switch on after driving for the day and it sat for a couple of days and died. I Just started working with this tractor so am very unfamiliar and went to jump it but the cables were very the exact same, no color difference. In my...

Hi Guys~ About to pull the trigger on an L2850 from a close family friend. They are the original owners and it hasn't been used much at all the last 15+ years (but it has been serviced regularly by the original dealer). The tractor is fairly "bare" outside of a 72" mower deck under the belly...

I purchased a tractor today DOA, it won't start and the PO seemed to indicate it ran great then it didn't run at all. I have hopen that it is something simple. I haven't been able to verify GP functionality, but it is a warm day and my Vxx03 series engines fire right up even with thousands of...

I have what I believe to be a '88 Kubota L2850. It runs great, has a brand new battery. I just bought it and had the battery go dead after a week or so. No big deal I thought, I figured maybe the guy I bought it from didn't charge it fully after installing the new battery. I tightened both...

I drank the orange koolaid Sunday :) I need advice on what oil and filter to use to change the oil. It looks pretty black but I'm not sure if that's a diesel thing or it's just dirty. I'm going to change it anyway then I'll know. Any idea on how much oil I'll need. He gave me a new air filter...

Rear rim on my L2850 rusted out. Could someone tell me a good place to get one please. I live in Cincinnati but would have it shipped if I can't find one here. Size is 13.6-24. Thanks for your help.

The nephew wanted to check the oil levels and backed out the pto pivot pin/bolt, and it dropped down into the trans case. Now pto selector lever won't work and the pto is on all the time. How to get the pin/bolt up and back in place and tightened without cracking open trans case?

I am new at this as I have had same equipment for 30 years and now the old bush hog and it took me that long to get the hang. Slow learning curve I guess. I had to relearn how to attach each time I disconnected. Thanks to youtube and patient kind people coaching me. Anyhow, First: I am...

My L2850 battery alert light would come on after start-up, then flicker after a few minutes, then go out. The manual claims that this indicates low fluid level in the battery. My nine year-old battery which was a cheap replacement battery that was installed in the tractor when I bought it...

I am trying to verify if there is any difference in the (gear) drivetrain between these two tractors. A friend is going to purchase a set of turfs from my L3200 and the turf specs are different for the L2850 than the 2550. The L3200 has the same rears as the 2550. Thanks if anybody can help. ! R3

I want to run a log splitter on my L 2850 in addition to the factory front end loader.Where would be the best place to tie in the hydraulics without using a selector valve so that both implements can be used simultaneously or sequentially?thx-Pete

I have 12.6 volts to my starter but nothing to my panel, no lights no nothing. I suspect the fusible link. Can some one tell me how to remove it. I tugged on it and it didn't want to come out of the white molex type connector. does that connector come apart? if so how or do I need to tug harder...

I'll just start a fresh thread since this is a different machine I was just told about. An l2850 with under 500 hours FEL and a New Holland B124 frame mount back hoe. Can't find any specs on the backhoe. I'm thinking of looking at it tomorrow. Priced in the same range and the L35 I was...

Can someone please post a picture of the position control stopper and the L2850. Mine fell off and I am ashamed to say that I can't figure out how to get it back on. I bought some 6mm bolts and can fabricate a wing screw. Found the on-line diagram, but it does not compute to these old eyes...

Hello, I recently installed new injectors in my Kubota L2850 with a v1702 engine. I also rebuilt the fuel pump. Since then, it has been under powered and smoking a lot. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have an 86 kubota L2850 with 1950hrs on it. There seems to be a fueling issue. It is not compensating for load (no smoke) and is low on power, bogs in 3rd/4th gear on slightest grade with 0 smoke. Also it stalls relatively easily once hot and will not restart (0 smoke while cranking)...

I've searched several times, and can't seem to find the answer. I am working on my folks L2850 with a 2 stage clutch and am trying to adjust the clutch. The PTO works great, however the clutch doesnt disengage for the drive wheels until nearly fully extended. Thus far, the clutch doesn't ever...

Background: I am retired and money is a concern. My new to me L2850 4wd with BF500 loader is used mainly for road maintenance, tilling the garden, placing occasion rip-rap, moving snow, clearing trees for firewood after hurricanes, and crazy odd tasks around the place. I mow with a ZTR mower...

Hello, My tractor has developed a wobble. When driving on a hard surface it can be felt once per rear tire revolution . I'm pretty sure the problems on the right side. I used the tractor for a large drive way project this fall and did a lot of pushing and loading with it . Thanks for any...

I'm considering buying an L2850 (1986 or so); asking price is $9500. It goes great, but there's weeping from the top of both spindles in the front axle. Is this a big deal? Second: I lifted the front end up with the loader, and spun the wheels (it was in 2-wheel drive at the time). When I...

I'm going to get a box blade for my L 2850 4wdr. If I can't find used, there is a $40 difference in price between a 65" and 72" blade. I expect to do some field leveling when I first get the blade (filed plowed, disked, and harrowed) and after that light millings road maintenance. Suggestions...

I have been frustrated for years by the poor 35W lamps in the L2850 headlights. I use a set of 55W halogen lamps on the ROPS to help forward and to the rear but have longed for a decent set of headlights when running the tractor with the front loader and a 6' electro-hydraulic snow blade at...

Will a Kubota 4530B Backhoe work on my L 2850 tractor? The original hoe was a bl4520 according to the specs. Thanks for any info.

The tach on my new to me L2850 does not work. I know that the cable is functional and that it is turning. The tach basically does not move. At high rpms it will bounce at the bottom a bit. Has anyone ever repaired a tach? Anyone know a source for parts? How about a source for a...

My L2850 tachometer is not working. At high rpms it barely bounces off of zero. The hour meter is working. Does the tach cable drive both the hour meter and tach? Any thoughts on repairs? Many thanks for any help! Add: it is a mechanical tach- I see the replacement tach cable in the manual.

My L2850 will not start up until I let it sit for at least 30 to 45 minutes after I have been working it hard for an hour or two. Yesterday after tedding hay for two hours it would not start until it had been sitting for 45 minutes, then it was fine. This morning it fired up right away. Each...

My Kubota L2850 has not been started for about 18 months . It has been parked and covered outside in a mild, mostly dry climate near Sacramento. After checking my manual for any start up tips (finding nothing), making sure the battery was up to par, and all external items and all fluids were OK...

I am a newbie to Kubota tractors. After running my newly acquired L2850 in 4WD for maybe 20 minutes on my hilly property, I parked and shut it down on the driveway and went inside my garage. I came out a few minutes later and was greeted by a hemorrhage of oil that leaked (erupted) from the...

GUys, posted in pricing forum but it looks quiet so here it is... Looking at picking up this private sale 1986 4WD with just under 1800hrs. Starts nicely, runs very strong. cosmetically a 6 out of 10. New paint would bring it to a 8. Anyway, all the pins seem loose. the BF 500 FEL and the...

We have a Kubota L2850 2 wheel drive tractor. I started it up today and it was blowing oil out the dipstick tube. It looks like there is hyd fluid in the oil. I can't figure out where it's coming from. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have noticed for a long time a small about of grease on the inside of both of my wheels, however after working my tractor harder than normal yesterday I notice it very very wet with grease on the inside of both rims. Do I have seals leaking if so can I fix them myself? Four wheel drive...

Im thinking about buy this tractor with fel and backhoe. What is involved in taking the backhoe off and putting a 3pt on to use scrapblades and other attachments. If any one knows a ballpark figure on the cost and availability of a complete 3pt setup on a tractor this old, I sure would...

Hi Everyone, I'd appreciate any help or advice on my situation. I'm an OK mechanic (or so I thought), but electrical problems drive me nuts. And it appears that's what I have here. Our work tractor is a 2003 Kubota L2850. It's always been a decent tractor, but last time we went to start it...

Does anyone have any advice on a clutch and flywheel for an L2850? It seems the tractor wasn't driven from march until the summer and the firewall may have rusted against the flywheel. The tractor will start in gear and move. The pedal is spongy and won't release back to neutral. Any help...

My L2850 will not keep running unless I pre heat before starting. This is now happening even when it is 70 degrees outside. I changed the fuel filter and put solution in the fuel to eliminate the water. Any other ideas you might have to try?Thanks, Larry

Hi all, I'm new around here, I've asked a few questions and have received a lot of great feedback. I finally decide to get a dedicated lawnmower (Kubota ZG23) for my lawn and have been looking for an older Kubota to work around my property. I have found a used L2850 which appears to be in good...

I stopped by a dealer today and saw an L2850 for 16K. (this is in Washington state). The body and engine appeared to be in pretty good shape, looked like it had been garaged when not in use. I drove it for a few minutes and the engine seemed ok. I say seemed as I am ignorant when it comes to...

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...

About 5 months ago my L2850 suddenly had no power to the starter, lights or anything. I removed the battery and had it checked to find it was fine. I put it back in the tractor and it fired up perfcetly and has since for 5 months. Then it did it again. Only this time I just disconnected the...

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone out there knows if the rear PTO on my 1990's L2850 (Standard) is supposed to stop turning when I push in the clutch? I know on my old B7100 HST it did but not so with this tractor. Is it supposed to and if so, is there an adjustment for this? Thanks to all who...

I found a used L2850 4X4 with 1500 hr. on it. There is no FEL or BH on it. I would have to purchase these implements afterwards. I need the tractor to dig ditches for utilities and then landscaping for the house I am building on 4 acres. I also have to maintain a long gravel driveway. Of...
