L5030 battery change out

[slowzuki]

I'd have to say its one of the easiest tractor batteries to change, just pop the headlight out and you're gold. I'm in there a lot to boost other vehicles.

Mines still going strong through all these canadian winters even though I don't have a block heater.

Thanks guys, the new Odyssey battery is in and the tractor is so happy. Two wing nuts and one electrical connection unplug, and the entire front lifted off. I didn't even have to take off the air filter.

For a treat I changed the oil, but when I went to replace the filter, the Kubota dealership had given me the wrong filter (first time I didn't double check it). Arrrrrrgggggg! So tomorrow a 120 mile Round trip to exchange filters. I already bent up the old oil filter when I took it off. Arrrrrrrgggggg!

A Deka battery is also a good choice, most of the Kubota stuff made in the US has Deka for the stock battery. Have also seen alot of other manufacturers of lawn and garden equipment use them as they sit along time before use and get knocked around during transport.

David_Kb7uns,

Deka private labels for many brands, but sometimes not for all the battery sizes within a brand. I've been in their plant a couple of times and it was surprising just how many different labels they stick on their battery. They also make high quality battery and jumper cables under a variety of names.

They make a very good product.
