looks to me like you made a really good choice. the bucket is huge for that size tractor. looks to be 2x the volume of mine.
how many horsepower? judging by the size, i would guess around 20? does it by chance have power steering?
i have probably already posted it here, but my L275 is very similar to this model. i would have thought mine would be older, but i think mine was built in the mid to early 80's.Last edited by flyboyx; 10-27-2017, 07:24 AM.sigpic

Thank You! It's deep 4 foot bucket. Tractor data says it is 16HP, but I have read if it is 4x4 to 10HP to that estimate, which mine is 4x4. The owner said it was 28HP. Frankly, I have no idea, but it's a little beast.
Yes I remember your tractor. You and I are now connected through e30s and kubotas haha. Are your back wheels extra wide? They look huge.

After a couple weeks of negotiation and about 2500 shipped, a big pile of parts was unloaded in my back yard. It was complete except no head and no crankshaft. I spent about 2months selecting the best parts from the 2 in order to build the tractor you see in the photo above. The awesome part is that those r4 tires you see were exactly the same diameter as the tires that came with the 4wd but they are about twice as wide.
I also wound up with extremely rare power steering, a rops bar, and underslung muffler.
I sold off all the surplus parts and ended up with almost a free tractor when the dust settled.Last edited by flyboyx; 10-27-2017, 02:20 PM.sigpic

By the way, I highly recommend taking off the (manual) steering box,cleaning it up, installing new seals and lube. If water gets in there, the bearings go bad, and it will ruin your recirculating ball syst. For my tractor, the parts are Nla. I bet they are for yours as well.
Man, when I was selling off parts, I bet I had 40 calls for the steering box. My guess is that this is a very common kubota failure point.sigpic

Good thread
I just bought 8 acres to build our house on and shortplat down the line.
PO uses a 4wd Kubota diesel to mow it and keep the grass under control.
So here’s a question. From all the mowing over the years the acreage is furrowed, to the extent that when I used his Kubota to mow where our house is going I kept on almost getting bucked off the tractor.
How can I smooth out the furrows?“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

if your soil is clay, the best thing would be to wait for a good rain. let it sit for a couple days and then push it around with a box blade.sigpic

PO suggested renting a roller and waiting until the soil is nearly dry and rolling it“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”
