Taking myself a ride today to get the filters and oil 50 hours service Mike.. brought mine home 32 days ago she will be ready by the beginning of this week.. good video
Thanks Mike. Good concise walkthrough. A suggestion that my dealer mechanic mentioned to me : when you check the hydraulic fluid level , it is best to check it with the loader in float and the 3 point hitch all the way down. Hope that helps. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Great video. I decided to do my 50 hour at 41 hours before cold weather sets in and got some great tips from you and GP Outdoors. It's really great to see folks helping folks. Thank you again.
Nice video on the 50 hour maintenance. I watched MyClutteredGarage video (just like yours) a day before I did my service and learned about the hydro filter oil "waterfall". My waterfall was the same as both of yours! I also enjoy GP Outdoors videos. I blew out the air filter with my compressor, it was pretty dusty, I may buy a new filter sometime this summer since our land is so dry right now. I don't know about other tractors, and this is my first tractor, but the B2601 seems to just sip fuel, it seems very efficient. Thanks again for sharing!
Well thank you very much for this timely video. I have had my B2601 for about 6 months now and getting up around 35-40hrs. I will probably be doing this in a few months. Thanks!
The use of a vacuum on the Oil Inlet no doubt works well. Another thought is before removing the Oil Inlet rubber cap would be to grab the Breather tube next to it and suck a bit of vacuum on it then pinch it off with a clamp. Then go remove the Hydraulic HST filter and likely the loss of fluid would be minimal then too.
“I may be slow but I do poor work” ha! You had me rolling.. I’ve used my B2601 twice in the couple weeks I’ve had it, having to wait for weather conditions, and have about 9 hours on mine already. Keep having fun, even I mean working!
I always enjoy seeing Kubota owners change their hydraulic filters... It's kind of a competition of who is going to thread the filter the faster! Lol! But I should not laugh too much, as I changed mine for the first time on my Case after 16 years of use... (long story!) I like your 3 pt top link. Again, I should not go too far on this one because mine also looks like a boomerang! Thanks for sharing Mike!
I've read where you can use a shop vacuum applied to the fill port, to minimize fluid lose. You need to make sure the area around the filter is clean so the vacuum doesn't pull any dirt into the filter port
Helpful video. "I may be slow, but I do poor work." LOL. Good one. I'll have to use that one. I don't have this tractor, but it caught my interest since I put up the 50hr vid for my L3901 a few months back.
Good job AK. I got 51 hours on my John Deere. My manual says to change engine oil and hydraulic oil and all 3 filters. I don't think a quart low even a qt. and a half on the hydraulics will cause any immediate damage as the hydraulic and hydrostatic transmissions hold about 5-6 gallons of hydraulic oil. I would most definitely top it off as soon as i could get the right brand of oil. I hope to get my service maintenance done as soon as i can. Thanks AK. 👍👍👍
How's she goin'? If you look after your gear it'll look after you!!! Nice work on the 50 hour check buddy! Now you're ready to go. I need to change my engine and transmission oil too, but mine is for the 1000 hour maintenance!!! Take 'er easy!!
Your 3 point was all the way up. My understanding is loader if you have one and 3 point should be all the way down or you will get a low reading because your fluid is inside the cylinders. If you do it the way your doing it then top it off. You will actually have too much which is not good.
With the radiator hose hitting the oil filter its look like you might be able to disconnect the hose from the radiator and cut maybe 1/2" off the hose and reconnect the hose. It might pull the hose away from the filter. It is really hard to tell from the camera angle. Good luck.
Hey Ak! Hope all is well! I have a BX24 and I need to overhaul it too! I have a similar channel with tractor stuff, firewood, construction and so on! Check out my channel! I subbed to yours as well! Looking forward to chatting!
Without question I would. It has been a solid, rugged , fun and dependable machine that has done more than I probably should have done with it. Never an issue, not one. Thanks for watching
