kubota tractor w/low oil pressure repair done

I created this video with the KZbin Video Editor ( / editor )

[@jmal937]

Dude I have watched hours of your videos awesome how you repurpose everything. I love your trouble shooting technics. Reminds me of old days before I became disabled. I think you missed your calling you are a hell of an instructor most of the stuff I try to stay a step ahead but each time I find myself learning something new. Stay safe in 2017 god bless you and your family. And keep the video coming Jim from Florida

Hey Mustie, Resurrecting an old line of comments because it is serving me NOW. I was "gifted" an old L295DT and I was told it had bad oil pressure on idle. I found this video a couple years ago, but haven't had the time to dive in and do the fix. I'm about to approach it now, and just watched again. Yours are the only videos I've seen on this issue, though I've seen a few write-ups. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I guess I'd better do a video of mine as well to adorn my channel when I get it up and rolling again... :-) Thanks!

[@suttoncurt]

I have a 2wd version of this tractor. It’s been without oil pressure for about 8 years. It runs great, and has never failed to start in the coldest weather. It has oil pressure until it gets to operation temperature. (I have a Harley Davidson gauge plumbed in where the sensor was.)

[@michaelb.5345]

Old or new videos it is a pleasure to watch your expert work and instruction. Thank you... Mike

[@ronaldmckinney6489]

I seldom comment, but after second viewing I must say excellent presentation and video. This old man learned a lot that he'll never, unfortunately have a chance to use.

[@frankd6664]

Not only is this a great video with creative ideas, but you also include Crazy Train and Baracuda for our listening pleasure :)

[@huck01955]

Very nice . Those governors look like a nightmare . I really like your idea for the rad hose . Your always thinking . Great job

[@mustie1]

thanks for watchin

[@gatorsworld]

Real neat tear down and put it back together....and you got some oil pressure....nice fix....ran in to about same problem with the governor on a Kioty about 15 years ago...never had it fix where it should be but we change the engine for a new one last year.....CHEERS

[@mathieubroersma]

You really make awesome vids. Been watching for hours now. Amazing how you get things done and find the time to make these.

[@bbrut3332]

Thanks Mustie for this older Kubota video. I believe one of the freeze plugs under the timing gear cover on my L295 has popout. I will be taking my tractor apart to replace the little son of a gun and check my cam oil plug at the same time. Keep on posting the good stuff. Thanks

[@shannonblane]

Thanks for posting this video. I have a 96' Daedong L3503D and its giving me the same low oil light. I'll check for a similar problem on my way in.

[@richard16372]

Nice job and looked like a lot of work, but you got it all fixed. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@mustie1]

yes but its better then rebuilding the engine

[@OhZone62]

Another excellent video. Always enjoyable to see what you're able to do. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Chris Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

[@mustie1]

thanks for watchin

[@BruceBoschek]

Good job! Enjoyed watching you put it back together again. Thanks for the update.

[@mustie1]

thanks for watchin bruce

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

man . pinup girls never line up in "my" shop after I finish a project. well. the jury is in and the verdict is that you are a mechanical genius :) must have been a satisfying feeling to see that oil light go out.

[@WaveAction777]

He said there was a TSB (technical service bulletin) out on it to fix the issue, if I remember correctly.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

ah..gotcha! I missed that.. thanks!

[@mustie1]

every shop needs cheerleaders,

[@LAP1050]

Mustie, another great video. Great solution for the coolant hoses, very innovative. Really enjoy your work.

[@andreasbachlindsmann1610]

Righteous choice of tunes, dude.

[@lakesideranch]

Another awesome repair at the Mustie1 headquarters. Very cool you had all the "girls" gather for a photo shoot after the work was done. 2 thumbs up from here !

[@knikula]

nice bonus footage at the end...

[@2jeffs1]

It's great to get the to do's in the done file! Liked your rad hose $ saver.

[@mustie1]

that file was getting a little too full

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Great fix.. Thanks !! Good thing ya caught that in time , Low oil pressure would soon cause engine damage ..

[@starpuss]

Sounds like a good running Kubota!! Hope you don't need to pull her all apart and do the rear plug. Wish I could find one in that kind of shape in need of repair!

[@mustie1]

l think the one on the back may be held by the bell housing

[@HarveySpooner]

Mustie1, Good fix, U made it look easy! That is a nice small tractor, it will fit into tight places for moving things around, would love to make it a member of the hoard...

[@sheady7659]

46mm is a 68vw bus rear axle nut size, so you might have had one?

[@octane613]

This little tractor is so cute.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Great fix and I am sure you are now breathing a little easier.

[@mustie1]

glad its back in service

[@1ton4god]

You are way more Brave than I am. I would have been terrified to roll at rear end out from underneath there not knowing whether or not I could get that shaft back up in there. Knowing my luck. Some little stupid keeper would have fell down had to take the whole tractor apart to get the keeper back in it.

[@gilliland426]

great job, runs good and now ready for work again!

[@charlesmurphy1510]

Did you find the original aluminium plug?

[@robertschmidt6383]

I swear you can fix any thing with a motor. 👍

[@localcrew]

Wonder if you have a set of forks for that unit. It's sweet when you can remove the bucket and put the forks right on there so that the load is kept close, unlike the "Over the bucket" type forks. Plus, you gotta have the snatch hooks welded to the top of the bucket for easy chain hoisting. That's how I roll! Great fix. Keep it up.

[@mustie1]

l have a terramite set up like that

[@douglasthompson2740]

Is the other soft plug at the back of the camshaft and issue? Nice machine. Take care. Doug

[@zoltanx9374]

cool lil tractor ..good job on the repair ... prob just the size i need.if i get one .....nothing bigger

[@normansmith7806]

Good Job another great video!

[@mustie1]

thanks

[@63256325N]

Success! Great, big, job! Thumbs up to you. Thanks for all the videos. I can't stop watching 'em. I've been at it for 3 days now. Haven't slept a wink.....just kidding. Fun stuff. Nice bit of eye candy at the end there....

[@mustie1]

might have to take your internet away for a day or two

[@63256325N]

OMG that would be just terrible, I'd be lost! I'm a net junkie, without it I'd break into withdrawals.

[@RobsPackanShine]

nice fix really like the motor

[@mustie1]

would make a nice diesel bike

[@scottsinfl]

I love them little thing ive been wanting one for a long time. Its so small the wife could drive it.

[@mustie1]

its a great machine

[@waynepalmer5368]

great job, i am working on a Kubota D1703 engine for the first time.Someone work on it before, is there a proper way to install the injection pump?

[@PhattyMo]

Barracuda! (Now that's gonna be stuck in my head.) Excellent ending to a video.

[@mustie1]

:)

[@aleblanc3547]

Brilliant use of a single hose to make two, if only to save the $ on two Kubota parts. Nicely done! Oh...nice shot of some classic cars, too! :>)

[@mustie1]

oh yeah those were well endowed cars

[@Triumphwonderdog]

Nice video, thank you

[@justinkashmir6857]

Is the round part that holds the fan on part of the front cover? I ask because I am trying to reseal the water inlet which looks like the cover cannot be removed unless you pull the front cover.

[@athiest4you]

lot of knowledge and experience in that repair

[@TobyWhiteUK]

Keep up the great vids, always an interesting watch! Thumbs up for the ending!

[@mustie1]

l should put the girls in the thumb nail,,

[@mattdias3412]

mustie1 Best one is definitely the third one in from the left in the black dress. WOW

[@MyHairyChin]

Yep ending for the win lol. Glad the fix worked out

[@TheFurriestOne]

Is that the horn above the battery?

[@BLADIEBLA-k3k]

So... where did the pin go?

[@billrok]

Super video. Nice work.

[@tomswonderfulworld]

Nice Fix!

[@zx8401ztv]

smashing, all happy now :-)) So how did you get that lever in, extracted it from the top lid and hooked it up, then dropped the lid backon??

[@mustie1]

surgical pliars curved, and a little swearing

[@zx8401ztv]

mustie1 lol sneaky but dam clever :-))

[@monkeywrangler5200]

Pinup hunnies at the end... not that sticking to the end isn’t worth it usually but that was a tad nicer. 😬

[@SweedSleds95]

Great vid, and awesome tunes man! :)

[@wtbm123]

Good fix.

[@mdftrasher]

Nice job sir

[@lsswappedcessna]

Wow! You're an Ozzy guy! Never suspected that.

[@lsswappedcessna]

Heart, too? Damn, you're a rock guy!

[@joshmclarty1704]

what series tractor is yours mine is hard to find in the parts book

[@joshmclarty1704]

I have a Kubota l1500 twin cylinder it also has low oil pressure just like yours was doing an advise

[@juniorraines5956]

How do you determine this is the problem

[@tractormatt4301]

I was wondering if you own the tractor and if you do what happened to it

[@mustie1]

l stil have it and works well, no issues

[@thisoldguy64]

don't know what was nicer, you working on the Kubota or the pinup girls?

[@mustie1]

girls always win

[@ceedell]

nice job!

[@deanlowther4020]

mustie1 with a bit of ozzy the perfect combination

[@NoPaintGarage]

good work

[@athiele479]

did you hit your head!?

[@robinfugate7876]

You the man"""'

[@moneymac2864]

yeah i agree...scraping off black rtv is a huge pain in the ass...that's why i use the grey rtv for everything...it's softer...easier to remove...

[@michaelporter6795]

I’ve been told forever not to use synthetic oil in small engines. Is that still true?

[@prevost8686]

No... an old wives tale.

[@davernon]

Chalk up another win for Mustie 1 , the ending should add a some extra views LOL

[@mustie1]

gotta put them in the thumb nail

[@tjones2269]

You still have your terramite?

[@mustie1]

yes l do

[@MrComaToes]

Sweet... ought to be good to go for a long while yet. Did you ever find that plug from the end of the cam? Not that it really matters, it could rattle around harmlessly for years, just curious.

[@mustie1]

came out of the drain plug,,

[@spaceinvadertoo]

I really like the ending scene in this one. Especially the blondes.

[@andrewcdavies]

What music starts playing at 1:59?

[@andrewcdavies]

It's "Crazy Train" I remember now.

[@JT-qf4it]

If your going to weld the plug in, why not just weld up the hole and not bother with a plug?

[@MrComaToes]

Smoking hot gearhead chicks at the end there!

[@mustie1]

those are my maids, im a dirty boy,,

[@MrComaToes]

Hmmm Your wife IS a heck of a sport! Hahaha

[@jamesfreddys]

Great vid, success, I even watched the whole commercial for you. Lol. Hot chicks at the end/ spoiler alert.

[@Max_Marz]

Hahaha awww man that spring is bs.

[@RodderFiles]

runs like a top

[@dutchurbanminer]

Other camera ? U sound a bit ,,different''....

[@lordedwardsnook]

you good

[@rossmoore2844]

more fun!

[@JeffreyStrader]

That's the same size as my Satoh S650G tractor.

[@garydeanstovall370]

Sounds like it's knocking

[@whataboutbob9326]

good tunes, too bad they wont let us play them ...

[@JeffreyStrader]

There's something about my wife and her owning guns that prohibits me from having pinup women on the walls where I work on stuff.....call me old fashioned, but I like living..LOL

[@williamdowell7646]

Wonder what the cost to have a dealer do that job? I own a Kubota B5200 and a b7100. A mechanic can work on anything

[@afrvvvgvgvgvgbgsbgbgbvgvgv7212]

oil presure just went up at the end of vid lol

[@herberthoppe68]

I could get it apart as well.... :-)

[@samlogosz8422]

Kabota engines are not all that grate. They have all sorts of issues. Perkins engines are way more better built. There's no compairison.

[@dutchurbanminer]

Sorry , not your fault , the ,,maid'' pulled a plug from my PC.....

[@mustie1]

you have a maid,

[@dutchurbanminer]

mustie1 Sshh , dont let her read this....

[@mikeg3529]

I would have just filled the hole with a weld, lol

[@toroon]

Why don't you show the actual work. Saying it's all back together is BS

[@mustie1]

later videos are like that,

[@uawsux]

so I was wondering if that was some kind of a beauty contest about the third or fourth girl from the left ask her if she is my future ex-wife I've already got my stuff parted out for the divorce I think she'd be very interesting

[@fabiantolano2080]

Girls!!!

[@TheBadwolf00]

youtube won't play

[@Unsocial01]

I would of just unpluged the oil light lol

[@justastudentoftheworld3940]

I worked at a food delivery company years ago, had to drive a different truck one sat. Got in and the radio was so loud it knocked me right out of the cab, so I asked the regular driver why the radio was so loud, he said that the bell going off was to loud. I checked, it was the low coolant alarm, put some fluid in it, alarm went right off. He didn't work there any longer.
