kubota l4150

Recently changed all fluids and filters on this l4150 wondering what this intake snorkel is for and if I should bother to fill it with oil? Or aquire a paper element for it? Never had one, did clean it out though it gets pretty fouled up when I'm using it to chip, till, or hog with it. has the...

I just picked the tractor up, PO had health issues, and it sat for five years until he passed away, and I purchased it from the estate. I changed the oil, flushed the fuel, and put a new battery in, and the tractor fired right up (huge relief). The 3 point lift works bucket lifts and has enough...

Thinking of taking a look. Seller wants 20K for a 3400hr machine. Shuttle tranny. Any thoughts on this many hours? Supposedly machine is solid but that's something I'll have to check out.

I have a mid 80s Kubota L4150 that has very little power at the 3pt and loader. Prior to me working on this it had gotten a new pump, hydro oil and filter. I made an adapter to bolt on the pump to check flow and pressure directly off of the pump, and I have good readings off of the pump (10gpm...

I have a ? in regards to this seal "A" in the cut out view. According to my dealer and the serial number of my tractor,"MY" seal is just an o-ring. Part number 150 in attached. Everything that I've seen and read has this as a totally different seal, could someone help verify that MY seal is...

Greetings to all, Hope someone might be able to help. I've got brake lining material clogging the return circuit after the filter in the tranny filter boss return port located directly under the center filter port. Has this issue before and cleaning out what I could with a change of filter as...

Does anyone know if the MX 5100 wheels/tires might fit on a a L4150. I found the whole set for sale "AG tires" for $1400. Only have 257 hrs on them. Was just wondering seems to me that the tires alone would be at least that much. Thanks.

I'm getting an L4150 with a house I'm purchasing. I did an inspection last night and saw it is not setup with a skidsteer quick attach. Is there a source for either a Kubota or after market kit to add the quick attach? I need to set a bunch of fence posts when I take possession of the house...

I have just a quick question regarding the hydro light on the dash of my L4150. I just received my tractor from the dealership, with a complete oil/filter and hydro fluid/filter change, now the hydro light has come on. Spoke to the dealer about it, they sent me a new filter, but stated I should...

After months of looking and searching for a Kubota L4150. I finally found the one that I think is the perfect one, at least for me. It seems to be in mint condition. Dealer is prepping it for delivery. I'll be needing a service manual, they have they original owners manual that I will receive. I...

Just finished putting pieces together. Pics show thrust bearing placement, bevel seal seating, proper oiling of bearing, race bearing placement. Things you will need: Lots of antique ball peen hammers (old ones make you feel like your doing something). Patience, various types of things to...

Left front seal bevel replacement. Decided to start documenting the job. Step 1, have the books and diagrams. Comes apart pretty easy. I'll old seal popped right out. Wear bushing for bevel was worn from waiting for repair. Messicks order is in. Will be doing the right side which had metal...

In the winter of 2008 I documented with photos and narrative of a complete 4150 bevel gear shafts rebuild. Doing some maintenance and had intended replacement of seal on opposite side since it was leaking and bothering me. On jacks, tinkering, starter rebuilt, blah blah. BTW, the previously...

Found a farm fresh l4150, everything seems to work, needs lots of tlc. Priced a little high for what all needs to be done. Both front hubs are leaking, it's moved lots of big bales,oil plug is leaking,rear tires have or had chloride in them, they're rusting, looks like original tires, rears are...

If you had to choose, which one would you pick? And why?

I am still looking for a L4150 with that in mind what are your suggestions/thoughts on using 8ft twin gearbox brushhog on a L4150. I know that the L4150 has 41hp rating at the pto, and I've heard that using twin gearbox in a 8ft brushhog requires less hp to run. TIA. Jeff

Looking for body parts, anyone know of one hidden away, my powertrain is good but the rest is in hard shape, Thanks, FMK

Love to find some body parts, trying to restore an old one, need floor boards, plastic nose piece, most body work etc, Anyone know of one for parts?? Thanks in advance

I found this 1986 L4150 for sale locally. I have been and looked but unsure of buying it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I know, Current owner not much of a tractor guy, it's been sitting for the last two years. I checked the oil and hydra oil, looked to be ok. The person...

Hello, I have spotted a L4150 for auction. Ihave never had anyhing to do with a kubota before. It states "front driveshaft removed, and steering needs work". Can any one tell me why these parts fail, ie weak, old age etc?

Hi, all i found this l4150 a little bit ago. i got the chance to operate it,not for a long period of time maybe 15-20 mins. Everything seems to work fine even the strobe light! was wondering what you all thought i should look for and what the going price might be?

Pushing brush, moving downed trees, prepping foot plots, then she coughs and sputters. No fuel in sediment/filter bulb, pulled off tank line at pet cock and an algae turd comes out then gushes fuel. re-attach line, remove filter, some algae goob but not blocking filter. Re-Bled bulb and began...

I have a Kubota L4150 DT and recently after moving a few piles of dirt, I lost all gears except for just a crawl in 1st gear. We changed all the fluid, filter and refilled with all new Kubota Hyro trans fluid but problem still exists. Anyone know what the problem might be or how to fix this...

I have a Kubota L4150 that has been a great machine. I have a L4540 backhoe but the parts are impossible to get. I have been in the market for a one to replace my existing or to use for spare parts with no success. Wondering if there are others backhoes that would work well with the L4150? Any...

Hello, Hope someone might have an idea here.... My Kubota 4150 has a intermittent growling (grinding) noise after it is started. Becoming more frequent, sort of a dull rubbing sound. GGGRRRRRRRR I suspected a starter problem (not disengaging), installed a new one, problem still there. Machine...

Love this tractor, has 2200 hours on it. Maintenance all up to date. Upgrades, workshop manual, etc... At cold start up, sound like a bag of polished rocks being jiggled around. After engine warmed up, sound vanishes and tractor runs out smooth, under any and all loads. No smoke other than...

Just purchased an older Kubota L4150 4x4 with loader and there is a fairly good leak coming around steering column that runs out on top of the transmission between your legs. Person I bought it from had spoke with someone who owned a similar tractor and said thought it was an o-ring. I have not...

My L4150 suddenly went dead. While it will crank over, there is apparently no fuel getting to the injectors. My first thought was a new fuel pump. That did not work. It seems as if the fuel cam shaft is not turning since no fuel comes out of the fuel pump when the discharge hose is disconnected...

Hey guys, I found a L4150 4x4 for sale. The tractor has no implements or loader although the mounts for a loader is there. It says it has 915 hours. The tractor is not running. The owner says it overheated and has a broken ring. The head is off of the motor. Its in decent shape for an old...

Hello, I have a newly acquired L4150 with the 5 cylinder engine. The tractor is in rough shape cosmetically, but it was running great, so I decided to clean it up. I had no issues with smoke or steam when I ran it, it ran great. I had taken the radiator off and backflushed the cooling system...

I have an older L4150 (1987-1988) It stop running for no apparent reason (full tank of fuel,fuel filter OK & no water in separator) I replaced filter and after the usual hours and hours of trying to bled any air out I replaced the fuel transfer pump. This made a big difference but now I can't...

I shucked a fuel line to the injector pump which did kill the tractor. After getting to it decided to change out all lines from filter forward, changed fuel filter, selinoid, selinoid linkage. Also drained fuel out of tank and changed out petcock (had a small leak). My issue is this, I have...

I tout this L3 and admire her work. However while working in this unseasonably warm spring, the orange temp guage stick broke off the dial. Normal temp and checking guages was there and then it was not. Still has a "nub" on it however it's more annoying than anything else. Checked tractorsmart...

New to me Kubota L4150 that is slow to start, 2590 hrs, doesnt smoke, runs great, it is slow to start on initial crank up, I warm up the glow plugs for approx 30 secs but takes 3 or 4 attempts to get it started, checked the glow plugs and I think they are ok, has a hot battery in it, the fuel...

I am looking at a L4150 with, what I think at 1500 rpm , is a slow loader (BF900). Fluid is fine, new filter, 3 pt down, joystick throw fine and no diverter valve. From ground to full ht is 7 to 8 seconds. Is this normal? If not , any suggestions?

I did a search for 15 minutes and did not find any suggestions or relevant advice - I need a replacement seat for my "new to me" L4150. I looked at some of the seats at the Big R store locally and they carry several made by seat solutions but I am unable to locate their website to see if...

New to me L4150, how do you determine oil level in 4 wheel dr front end, this is one I just purchased and am tryinh to check everything before I use it, I see there is a filler hole on top of the axle, how do you determine what level the oil should be at, I have a manual ordered but it has not...

Just bought this Kubota L4150 4 wheek drive with loader, the tractor does not pull good in the high range in the higher gears, the low range and lower gears work fine, pulled up to a bank and it will spin all the wheels with no problem, but will not pull good in the upper gears, this tractor has...

Hi my name is Harold. I have a Kubota L4150. My issue is that my tractor seems to be losing pressure when under a load. For instance if i was trying to push something or pull something, the machine would seem to pop out of gear. but the gear select would be in the correct position. It feels like...

Just wondering if its normal to idle high when you start the tractor when its cold? After about 3-4 minutes it will idle normal. Thanks!

Here is a few pictures of the Kubota L4150 machine I bought about a month ago. Thanks for all the input on the leak that is now fixed. ALL fluids and filters are changed and ready for the winter!

Ok....pulled the propeller shaft cover off today to locate the leak. As I said before this was fixed at one time in the past and the leak returned. This is the only issue the original owner ever had. So this is what I found. The seal is bad on the transmission side of the shaft. Its a good size...

Here is the Kubota that I bought today. Its an extreamly well kept machine with just one issue. The Propeller Shaft housing needs a new seal I think. It leaks pretty bad and runs down the cover to the front axle support. Looks like it should be a pretty easy fix. Old owner said he had someone...

I'm picking up a 1986 L4150 4x4 with a BF 900 loader on Monday that I put a deposit on yesterday. I purchased the machine from the original owner with only 1246 hours on machine. Everything works on this machine 100% and it looks to have been extreamly well maintained. All the sheet metal is...

Bought L4150 about 3 weeks ago. As usual; never sure what I got till I get it home and work with it for awhile. Really like it a lot. So now I am in process of cleaning this thing up. The sheet metal is straight and pretty rust free but it has 20 years of paint fade. Looks like the tractor was...

Does anyone know if the Kubota L4150 has a built in PTO Overrun Clutch? Don't see anything in owners manual or work shop manual that talks about this feature. I thought all modern day tractors (including the L4150) would include a PTO Overrun Clutch. With PTO engaged (engine off) I can not...

On my Kubota L4150 the top of the PTO cover has a slot and extra metal flange. Does anyone know the purpose for slot and extra flange?

I needed to replace broken tail lamp lens on my L4150 but the parts manual only showed a complete tail lamp assembly for around $67. Stumbled across a parts manual for a M4900 that showed tail lamps that looked like the same ones used on L4150 however they had different part numbers. But these...

I have a L4150 kubota with a very loose headlamp/hazard switch. How is this combination switch removed? The knobs seem too tight to just pull off. Does anyone know if there is a release mechanism to get this switch out of the panel?

Just brought home this tractor and after two days of using and examining tractor, I like it! Not sure of hours on tractor (stopped at 1633) but it is tight and works great. Replaced all filters and oil and got to know a little more about what I purchased. Things in particular I like about the...

Greetings I have 13 acres of lowland. The ground is flat and ranges from firm to wet. I hope to dig a ditch to drain the water more effectively. The land has not been worked for several (10+) years. The land is covered with 'quackgrass' that grows as high as 6' in the summer, small trees...

Hi, all! Im looking at a l4150dt with a bf 900 fel and a l4540a backhoe. with 2500hrs two rear remotes and seems to be in all around good shape! I have no idea what year it is but all oils look new any idea what a ball park price might be? thanks for you time1 B

I noticed a thread about tractor complaints. I must say, I have a mid 80's L4150DT with 1950 hours on it. General Maint. have done some bearings and bushings along with some Here and There's. I just pulled a 14' no till CREP seeder from dawn till after dark for 4 days straight in mid 90 heat...

I have a L4150 Kabota and since it went for swim in the pond we have had nothing but problems with it. We drained all fluids and replaced them and after we drove the tractor for 20 to 30 minutes it would shut down as far as going forward and reverse and yet the engine has never missed a beat...

The steering lever, pn 32530-16910, is loose. It has bushings top and bottom that I assume are the reason. This is housed in a fairly large rectangular piece, called the front axle bracket. My shop manual has the specs for the bushing tolerence, but not how to dissasemble to get at the stuff...

Hi Everyone! Just bought a 1986 Kubota L4150 yesterday and I need to know if anyone can recommend where I can buy a new seat for tractor - best price and quality. It's a 1986 model. Also, I'd like to thank Dick Bargeron for all his help and tips regarding this purchase. THANKS DICK...

I have a L4150 that has a problem starting. When you turn the key most times notking happens or tou just get a click sound. Sometimes after repeated turning the starter will turn over an the tractor starts. Most times it needs a boost and starts as soon as the cables are hooked up. What is...

I have had a lot of trouble with the drive gear dropping out and losing the bevel gear and nut the last time i even tacked the nut in 3 places and it still came off. does any body know where to buy these parts as the local dealer told me they are not available here in australia. any help would...

I'm considering quick attach system at local Farm Store for about $200 out the door. Does this thing work? Is it just another part to grease and maintain? Do you have to do anything to your attachments? It would be for a 50hp L4150 series bota? Any thoughts?

This is what I found after pulling the bottom CAP off the bevel houseing. NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!

Here goes nothing! Riding down the road (enjoying the warm IL March) 2WD in high gear, 1/3rd Throttle, on my way to by buddy's shop for some minor FEL loader welding. I look down to the right front bevel area and see 90W pouring out into the inner rim. I pull off, lift front of tractor up with...

I have a Kubota L4150 that has a loader problem. When the oil gets hot the loader does not raise or lower easily. It sometimes goes up and down slowly and sometimes not at all. It will raise and lower if I turn the bucket while trying to raise it up, but that is frustrating as anything in the...

I recently purchased a 1986 Kubota L4150DT tractor. I am using the tractor to twitch logs out of my woodlot for firewood. Its running well except that the engine compartment blows hot air directly in the face of the driver. I reversed the slotted vents in the cover of the engine compartment and...

GOT ONE FOR YA ALL..... I had to run over to my farmer friends house to pick up a 12" auger (It's a real meat hog!) It's about about a 6 mile trip in road gear, approximately 20 minutes. A little over halfway there, my hydrualic light comes on. I of course continue to my destination and...

I cannot tell you how much I feel this site and tractorhouse.com helped me out with working on this tractor! I completely took apart a bevel gear system for my 4150 and replaced what was needed and put back together. Also, I WILL WARN YOU. For owners of older Kubotas, they updated the wheel...

Hi, my front gear cases have always leaked abit, but I always kept them topped up and changed them a couple of times. I'm getting tired of worrying about them and I'm wondering if anyone was in this boat before. Can I accesss seals without getting involved in the removeal of bevel gears and...

Hello all. First time poster, long time reader. Newbie tractor guy. I know there are a few of you that have posted that seem to be real L3 gurus, so I thought I would ask for some advice. I have just looked at an L4150 w/BF-900 FEL & 4540 Hoe. From some of the older posts I see that this is...

I am looking for information on what a L4150 with front end loader and backhoe is approximatley worth. He is asking 15,000 for it. I am going to look at it today to get more info. If anyone can give me some info it would be appreciated.

I just picked up an abused machine,and I would like to find out where to get the manuals for it.In my past dealings restoring cars some of the copies were hardly readable,I don't mind spending the money for a good product.Will also be looking for parts down the road. Thanks, Pj

Can I tell the year of the tractor from thr serial number,if not how can I tell what year it is? Thanks

I was using my L4150 Hydraulic shuttle tractor earlier this week, and suddenly it wouldn't move at all when changing directions. After a bit of moving the lever back and forth and increasing the RPMs to about 1500 it slowly started to engage the clutch and suddenly it moved just fine. I had...

I have been given a 1990 L4150 with a BF900 loader. the only problem is it was burnt in a fire. The fire started under the dash and spread throughout the entire unit. The tires did not totally burn but the battery and all wiring did. Also the aluninum parts on the engine, including the...

I was disking with a small 3 pt. disk, all of a sudden up & down rear link lever started feeling "a little gritty" about 3/4 of the way up through all the way up. Rear links stopped going all the way down (about 1/2 way down). lift lever picks the links up all the way, but weight must be put...

I found a Kubota L4150 4wd with loader, hoe, aftermarket cab, and 3 point arms with 1400 hours for $14,000. It is at a dealer 600 miles away who sold it new in 1995 to a private individual who came back and used it for a trade-in. I haven't seen it in person, but the dealer says that it is in...

I have heard I can get Champions for $7-10 but locals can't find any. Carver has kubotas for $20 which isn't real bad I guess, but a buck is a buck.... I need a rear remote line for a splitter or other stuff. I would not want to put on a pto pump or give up my loader. Any experience or...

I just agreed to purchase an L4150 TLB with an L4540 backhoe (with oil reservoir under the tractor) and a BF900 loader. I know the tractor weighs around 4000 lbs, but I don't know how much the loader and backhoe weigh. I am getting a 12,000 lb GVWR trailer as part of the package, and I am...

I just looked at an L4150, that the owner says is about a 1987 or 1988 model. The tractor has 1920 hours, (I assume it still works, and based on overall condition I think it is correct) but is quite faded and somewhat rough. It has set outside it's entire life, and his employees don't appear...

A local guy sells used tractors part time. The other day there was an L4150 4wd sitting out front with an FEL. Looked like a shuttle shift. Anybody know anything about that model other than hp? How reliable were the hydros back then? In general the tractor looked heavier than the current L's...

Guys, I just want to let you know about the L4150 I bought. I had posted questions about it and several of you helped me and I wanted to tell you how it has worked out so far. Got 1 set of 4 Commercial(r-4s?) and a set of 4 turf tires on rims(make me an offer!), a Sims Cab with...

For those of you who have helped me with your honest advice and opinions. They have REALLY helped me. I just hope that I have made the right decision.....oh, well, that's past! They will deliver on Friday and I am planning to "test" it this weekend. When I've got a few hows under my belt I...
