Kubota leak?

sparkkky · Mar 21, 2005

Have a B21 and it looks like it might have a positive crank case vent over the front axle around the oil filter.

Do most tractor's show alittle oil there? Mine has some that ends up on the front axle.

Come on guys! Does oil just accumulate there or not?

Our farm tractors all blow smoke and a bit of oil out there. The smoke is bad as it means blow by (unless it is just the moisture boiling off the oil)

There is usually a labryth (spelling?) type affair to keep oil from escaping but it always gets out a bit.

Check your oil pressure sending unit. They are prone to leak. Gravity d /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gifes the rest.

My breather tube (right side of attachment) comes down adjacent to the oil filter between the tie-rod & front axle. There is a slight hint of soot there on the frame.

My radiator overflow tube (left side of attacment) comes down above the front axle and sometimes spurts some antifreeze on it now and then.

I have 300+ hours on my tractor.
