- we dragged home this 70s kubota L225 that was left abandoned at a vacant house, it was none running and parts scattered around the yard, in part one we got it running but had no 3 point hitch or power steering. so lets see if we can fix them.

Hay Mustie, can’t speak for everyone else but keep up the 1hr long videos. Most TH-camrs only do 10 mins and it nice to tag along for an hour or so watching your process of elimination. Keep up the great content! Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
i agree, for these kinds of videos i like longer ones. a hour is the best
I agree with you
100% agree, 1 hour videos or longer are perfect especially on lazy Sunday afternoon.
I’m also in UK (down south coast) and found Mustie’s channel about 3-4 years ago and have been hooked ever since.
Excellent TH-camr.
Agreed, the longer the better - such videos feel more involving as they cover far more of the process in a single chunk.
Here, Here !!! So tired of current "Twitter" types with the attention span of a Gnat !!! Love the sleuthing involved ... that's exactly what makes it interesting ... IMHO
had you fixed the power steering where we found it , I wouldn't have missed the loading ramp, just saying' ;)
Hey Mustie, I'm a John Deere technician and love seeing you work on the old stuff, the trouble shooting is the fun part of any job, carry on with the long videos 👍
Mustie those Steering Boxes were always an Issue water would go down the steering shaft and fill up the box. Everything would rust out and cause it to bind. Taking it apart is a huge fail. They make an after market replacement for a L245 that I retrofitted to my tractor. Best way to go.
I had a similar problem with a small JD , it had a dust seal , with a hyd. Seal underneath . The dust seal failed , and dust built up in the spool , causing steering fail . Then while sitting water ran down untill it was stopped by hydraulic seal , froze and cracked the casting.
Not the Mustie way
Farm tractors do not have pressure down. As it is a one side pressure piston. The plug you removed thinking for burping the system is where a mechanic would screw in a gauge to test the hydraulic pressure.
Or for hooking up a spool valve to tip a trailer or run a hydraulic pressure implement.
some of the big boys have double acting...but very few
The only purpose of the valve under the seat is to control the 3 point down speed.
We always called it the drop rate, which should probably be adjusted on that second tractor so it wouldn't jerk when it's goes down. 😀🙄
Those old Kubotas only have power up on the 3 point, no power down
The knob under the seat controls the gravity down rate. You will need more hyd fluid. And the filter is located on the left side down low with 2 small bolts that hold the cover of the filter. Don't forget to use a gasket or good rtv when replacing the filter. Can you read the model number and manufacturer of the bucket controller? If so please let me know. Mine needs a rebuild kit as it leaks on my right shoe. LolThanks Mustie 1
new kobatas too haha my 2016 M7 only has gravity down.
I only know one brand of tractor that had power down, since pushing down lowers traction on the rear wheels. Belarus tractors had them, back in those days...
Huh? My old Case garden tractor has two way hydraulics on the 3-point. I can lift the back tires off the ground with it. In fact I have to use the float position with my tiller on the back since it’s too easy to push down on the tiller and lose traction on the rear tires otherwise. I would have thought a tractor like that would have double acting hydraulics….
@@notajp it is a garden tractor thing. They usually use an actual cylinder for the 3 point instead of a rockshaft line a normal full size tractor. This Kubota has pretty much the industry standard setup as far as farm machinery.
@@nocoolname32 Same. 250 lbs (me) drops it nice and easy. A 500 lbs implement is more than enough.
I see you’re rocking the Knipex wrench pliers… those things are a staple in my shop. Love them.
I was going to ask what brand they were! Thanks
I agree had to find a heavy snap ring pliers to take the hub off an 06 f-250 and those did flawlessly they were $40 but well worth it.
I think I read a comment last week about needing more RPMs to get the lift arms working. Good vid I like the small engine and tractor stuff the best.
Dear Mustie1.
👍👌👏 The starter motor likes to thank you very much for using the glow plugs at last. He already feared to be murdered. 😁😁
Laughing, I was grimacing at that as well!
Dear@@williambehles7704
👍👌👏
Best regards, luck and health.
Ha yeah.. As a former plow boy Im cringing right from the beginning.. He's lucky that thing didn't take off through the wall..
@@BAZZAROU812 I've seen that happen with a much larger wheel loader inside a shop. Scary AF.
Most of those older 3 cylinder models were Pre combustion and don’t start well with out pre heat even on 100 degree days and either is a no no as it can blow the pre cups out of the head causing all kinds of damage
"that could hurt." understatement of the day. any old farm kid will tell ya, before you start a tractor from the ground, always make sure it's out of gear first. we've all heard about somebody who didn't, and got run over. you were really lucky.
Mustie I have been trawling through all of your back catalogue and I love everyone! Keep them coming!
You love everyone? Awww 😍
30:55 Yep. It has fluid, just not enough. And once you opened the system it got more air.When you were first testing it, the right lower swing arm was jumping when you went through the positions.
Moar fluid!
I really enjoy your video's. I am a retired heavy equipment mechanic having spent 31 years working for the City of Mesa Az fixing everything from mowers to motor graders to solid waste trucks to airport tugs on site and out on the field. It's cool to watch someone having fun doing what I have done so many times. Your way of making video's gives an unobstructed view of everything you do and what I like most of all is your sense of humor and your not editing out the stuff we do and find while trouble shooting. Like hearing that little 'Tink'. Keep em coming.
This is the definition of a spirited man. Amazing as always.
I was concerned about MUSTIE safety working alone on this tractor to provide educational/entertaining video content. Never has crossed my mind on any other videos, but tractor repair, learning curve on this video was a concern. Heard/read about too many accidents here in Tn related to tractor operations/repair. Be safe MUSTIE!!!!!
Testing hydraulics by loosening or disconnecting fittings, especially on a system that you do not know in detail, is extremely dangerous. I worry people will see that here and try it. Hydraulic injection injuries can cost you a limb or your life. Not to be messed with if you don't know what you are doing.
@@Miata822 100% true. Watched a guy working on a hydraulic cylinder for a coolant filtering system take the hydraulic line off and put an air line on it to try and get the piston out. (Hydraulic line was 10psi, and house air was 125psi)
He didn't want the piston to fall out so he tried to catch it. It flew out taking his finger tips right off.
There have been a few videos over the years where I was concerned for his safety...the only one that comes to mind atm is the old tombstone radio he picked up and started poking and prodding around inside while it was on and humming.
It's like school was in session, always a learning experience. At the end I kinda expect to hear 'class dismissed '. Love these videos, keep 'em comin. Thanks 👍
Long videos are appreciated. Great program. Learning lots. Quiet enjoyment. Thanks, Darren.
I did a lot of talking to the screen on this one! When you were examining that cylinder cover I kept trying to point out the port on the flange that you finally noticed. It was like you heard me! Thanks for another good Sunday morning having coffee and wrenching.
Nothing more relaxing than a good old Mustie video. You should call yourself a therapist. These videos have such a calming effect not to mention informative. Thanks for all you do for us gearheads.
The next person to pull the cap off of that steering wheel… “What in the hell??????” Hahaha
I did not like all that grease slathered in there, yuck! 🤢 It needs a gasket below the wheel, to shed the rainwater.
@@Hjerte_Verke even a down-facing cup that reaches around the steering column would help just like an umbrella. 😀
Or put something very untractor related in there as a surprise. Like a small child's toy, dinosaur, etc. 😁
@@TF856 love it!!! Lol Or a $20 bill
12:56 for the love of Dr. Diesel the glow plugs are your friends, I promise you.
52:00 he knows :-)
He gets a kick out of consequently doing things wrong.
I would take a plastic cap, make a hole in it the size of the steering shaft, and put it over the shaft with the cap down over the steering shaft tube. Then put the steering wheel on. Permanent water shield.
I've done this with silicone caulking. Lay down a bunch of beads and smooth it out with a putty knife and let it dry. Then cut it to fit. Works well on wax paper. Just peels right off.
Boot that came off looked like the same style of a boot on a tie rod end or ball joint. Might have been able to find one to fit
How about just go to the dealer and buy the seal that fits the damn tractor for the steering wheel and have it done right.
@@johnseavey6622 yeah I suppose but it's mustie you're talking about here. Plus being as this tractor is old and import and maybe a little gray market back then. You might just not be able to get every little part for it.
Hey my friend is the firs time I comment in u channel , I have one l 175 and is very similar I fell blessed. Because now I understand more how I can fix mine thanks for the update and the time u spend in teaching all the viewers
I always make rolling carts for all my tractor implements, makes hooking them up easier. All my implements are stored on a concrete floor so rolling them to the tractor to hook them up is easier than backing the tractor to the implements. Also makes storage easier as I can line them up in any order I want.
I got 1975 EBRO 470 tractor which is no long available and it has lack of workshop manual, just start doing and figuring out which is which similar to what you'd done , the basic mechanical info will help but the issue is the location of parts . I was searching youtube to find any help or clue then I got your wonderful 1 hour video thanks man you boost me up with your info and trials on this tractor , keep up and thanks lot 👍🏼👍🏼
Way back 54 years ago I learned to drive on a 1936 Case tractor. The steering was so loose on it you had to turn the wheel nearly half a turn before it did anything. You really had to pay attention to what you were doing pulling a hayrack or it would get away from you if you over corrected.
Had a road going tractor, same problems, used road camber to keep in a 'straight line'.
this kubota was not trashed. started fine. pto lifts fine. steering typical and fine and has been started in gear, started at max throttle, and dripped off a trailer. so typical kubota takes all the shit and no vendor mainenance and keeps chuggin. steal of a deal credit to ct youtuber who hounded owner. ps never change i love your videos.
Glowplugs. Its gotta have glowplugs. My much newer Kubota starts like that if you don't use the glowplugs.
Yep get those glow plugs hooked up and it will start on the 2nd or 3rd roll. Chrck your fuse to the glow plugs. Or the wiring. If I remember correctly the ignition switch glow plug position is all the way to the left.
Glanza Guy - No Shit. He's gonna be wearing out starters doing what he's doing.
Guess I should have waited to comment🙂
Should be a place in the ignition switch for glow plugs hold to the right before the starter engages or maybe to the left, depending on the model. Mine is hold first position for a few seconds then start.
@Michael Reed yup, anything man builds can and will be broken, neglected, and misused at some point. We are only human, not perfect
You are brilliant Mustie. It’s a pleasure watching you solve the problems. Can’t wait for the next one.👍
And that's why you never, ever, ever, ever attempt to start a piece of equipment without sitting in the driver's seat...........
Smart. All old timers would tell you the same thing
That's a big no no.. Opps
Those were EXACT words that came out of my mouth when I saw that.
@@corey6393 It's also a salutatory lesson in why you should never disable the interlock switch fitted under the seat in some garden tractors....
I was expecting him to have a sore toe before he realized that it need to be in neutral. I never crank on one from the ground... The seat only
Can’t stop watching Mustie 1 videos!!!! Love them!! Mustie keep them coming!!!👍👍👍
LOL Just finished watching Mortske Repair where he almost ran over himself trying to start up a ford F100 while it was in gear. I hope this is not another contagious virus!
Oh no! I actually caught a few videos, the ones where he reactivated the Jeep DJ5..but that's all
OH MY GOD I just wish I had your patience That hammer would have been flying by now thats for sure and not at anything worth while I can assure you probably the wall
then it would bounce off and hit the window giving me another project !!!!! I just love your attitude Thats what you should be teaching not mechanics just attitude !!!!!
Mustie: Make note to self... don't try to start it while in gear. Bad things could happen!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Also wait for the glow plugs to heat up or your gonna fill the air with smoke and wasted fuel.
Always be on the tractor
True Story U no its true when u start out like that. lol A guy down the street got crushed by a old international doing the same thing. he is no longer here happened about 3 years ago..
that's why you never disable the neutral safety switch!
Love your courage & sense of adventure in fixing these fine old rusty piece's of Junk:)
Watching Mustie stand on the hitch reminds me of a Wile E. Coyote moment about to happen.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, for sharing and teaching some about troubleshooting and how to repair the hydraulic issues. It is greatly appreciated and helpful. We have Kubota L2350
For once, on the three-point part, I felt like the kid in third grade history class who knows the answer, but can't get the teacher to call on him. (Waving hand in the air.) Oh, well, you got it fixed.
Horseshack from Welcome back Kotter, comes to mind.
@@afrayedknott1701 Might even have been saying "Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter" in an excited tone of voice, if I'd thought anyone would understand the reference.
Musty, you should hear our conversations. I swear one of these days I'll record it. I know others do the same! Lol
That would actually be a fun reaction video comment section style. lol
I have watched a lot of repair videos by you and others but this is my favorite! You set your steering column on fire!! That is classic, keep it up.
" sometimes you’re just too big for the hole" 😂
A dirty crevice is simply not on and a greased shaft are essential 😇
What a beautiful place.. You and the better 3/4's put a bunch of time in the yard. Show us more.. K
Stop the engine before you turn off the key, you might burn som diodes in the alternator otherwise, don't ask how I know.
Blessings from Sweden.
Didn’t know this thanks!
well thank you very much for the tip been having an issue with charge system on an old ford 1710 very similar to this tractor and i know i have turned off key before stopping engine for sure now i know where to look next!!!!
I guess It could happen. It never was an issue with my dad's tractors. Ie John Deere backhoes, Massey Ferguson industrial and agricultural tractors. I believe the John Deere shut the engine off by turning the key off, but on the Massey he always had to pull the stop knob.
And I think my New Holland did not have a stop knob either. By the way, my New Holland ag was a piece of crap! It was less than 6 months old and damaged a gear in the transmission, and the linkage for the shift levers were way too flimsy. Driving over brush would rip wires loose on the bottom of the tractor where they dont belong, and when I tried to readjust myself in the seat it would kill the engine, among other things.
I got rid of it as fast as I could!
I love all your videos, especially the ones like me taking mowers and trimmers carburettors apart and rebuilding them back to new or as new condition.
You’ve given me the confidence as a disabled person as I was a vehicle mechanic to teach people how to do things and also to show how stuff works.
Keep up the good work mustie1, I’m from the Uk you have inspired me to go out their and fix other peoples mowers and their two cycle or as I know it as two stroke engines, my health like yours isn’t good at times but when I can I get out there and help where I can.
I would love to meet you one day but I could never do it as my copd gets very bad at times especially if it’s very hot very cold as they both take my breath and cannot even drive.
I’m very inspired by you’re work.
Thanks Ian
The yard is looking good, miss the lawn mower tests.
If you're like me, there's a few Mustie videos I haven't watched (yet) and if I was hard up for a lawnmower video, I'm liable to find one.
Your videos are great Pal love your spontaneous grubby sense of humour most amusing.all the very best from New Zealand (Aotearoa)
Can't wait to see how this turns out
Sunday fun with mustie1. Love your videos dude Sunday ain't the same without them lol I hope you are well keep safe and sound in these very uncertain times
@@Miata822 it's like it worldwide mate, a lot of places are in anarchy right now but hopefully with the vaccines, we should be OK 😁 hope you're well mate
Don't think I ever saw your back yard in the summer, beautiful place you got there.
Turn the switch key to the left for the glow plugs. It's spring return. Hold it for about 10 seconds then immediately turn to start. Should crank a lot better.
im telling you there is Nothing this man can NOT fix...amazing well done
It's sad that this thing was so neglected, there's no reason one of these tractors can't last forever. Seems like you got it just in time at least.
Dude, @ 37:00....
You are one Tenacious SOB...No quit in Ya..And Sharp as well..Watching You work is like watching the Good Guys Win every time...Thank You Sir.
I would just like to put on record that here in Old England, unlike New England, we sadly do not have such ready access to yard sales and other sources of cheap (but good- we *can* get Chinesium) tools. Therefore, my wife would like it to be known that this channel is doing nothing for my tool addiction.
Yes, but you have access to old English cars and Land Rovers at a bargain. One 60's Land Rover will use up all your spare time!
US has the best Yard Sales. Asian friends comment too.
@@MichaelSteeves I’d love to see Mustie do an old British car. He’d certainly need his welding gear…
@Greg Abbot If people would be willing to actually pay for good tools (or electronics, or cars, or appliances...) we would still make them here. Good stuff costs. If consumers only make purchasing choices based on the lowest price, well, you get what you pay for.
@Greg Abbot agreed
Great video! I really like the way you go through the step by step to find the issues. 👍
The hydraulic valve on the right side is likely a priority valve, which makes sure steering always has oil pressure first, then secondary functions like the 3 point or selective control valve for a cylinder on an implement. Speeding the engine up provided enough flow for the steering demand to be satisfied, then oil was sent to the 3 point control valve.
Since that hydraulic system is an open center system, I don't think there would be a charge pump in the sump. Just make sure your sump screen is clear and the oil level is correct.
Thank you for sharing. Watched and very much enjoyed.
Hi mustie1
You have showed the tractor with a little love, it will come back be nice to see a little fresh paint once all hydraulic lines are sorted out
I too like watching along from start to finish. Always fun.
Beer, Nuts, and a Mustie1 video. Perfect sunday.
Just got home from work having a cold busch light and watching lol
You are a interaction for do not give up. That is a old school way that is forgotten.
Keep up the videos. 🤙
I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Great video!
Turn the key backwards to warm the
Glowplugs. Poor starter lol
Thank you Mustie. This was yet another awesome video. More than entertainment, almost a ritual. Thank you Sir.
you missed revving it up to make the hitch work. even after you messed around it wasnt moving until you revved the engine higher.
Definitely prefer your longer video style. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
The reason the engine struggles to start “chug” is because you didn’t engage the glow plugs. Turn the black switch to the left and hold for 5-10 seconds then start it. It should start right up no problem.
Should have watched the whole video before commenting lol. It was just bothering me.
@@60acresofwhatever Hahah you're good. It bugs me when others try to start cold engines without using the cold start procedures. Do diesel farm tractors have a choke or enrichener?
@@Hjerte_Verke mine does not. I haven’t seen any on any of the diesels I drive.
@@Hjerte_Verke no diesel engine has a choke , Some have a start enrichment circuit , some not . Some have a glow plug , some a pre-ignition chamber , some started on gasoline then switched to diesel fuel , some had preheaters , some a ether injector .
@@Hjerte_Verke I was wrong . The WD 9 ihc had a carb with choke , it started on gas then switched to diesel
I have never seen anyone set fire to a steering column before, 😂😂, great work 👍
Sunday morning Mustie...it’s like a religion now. At a PTSD inpatient program zenning out to some wrenches being turned. HUA Mustie
Thank you for your service. I hope that you are out spinning your own wrenches soon!
@@Miata822 Thanks Mr Kerr.
Man... I love your vids. All the best from Poland
Just an observation/question - did you try revving the engine up at any time during trying the hitch. In the video it seemed every time you tried it, it was at idle. The first time you tried it revvd up, it worked. Maybe a weak pump?
You are def the "Sherlock Holmes" of mechanical detectives !!! Thank you for saving a worthy Kubota ... and yes, even bullet proof Kubota's (and old Toyota HiLux diesels) require so "care" along the way ... this one did not. Love it !!! Only disappointed you didn't replace the fluid filter ??? WTH ;)
You know you are witnessing greatness when manuals and instructions are just someone’s opinion. 🤣
Yea, Ralph, that made me giggle too.
Yo mustie I was able to start a stubborn boat motor today with knowledge I gained from your videos. Thanks man.
Fantastic video a lot different then I thought it was I like those kind of repairs please keep them coming as I am learning a lot thank you
Nicely done.
Ah ha. Caught ya. I watch your videos too.
I have almost this tractor (Kubota L200), so I'm delighted to see you do this video!
how many of ya'll wish we had Mustie1 info and could reach out to him when he gets in these issues on some of these old tools. I was talking to the computer telling him "no, open that up, remove those pins':)
I learn alot from these videos enjoy them all.
lower bearings in that steering column tend to rot from water. Also, clean the fluid filter sock for the onboard hydro.
Impressive fixing skills and impressive explaining skills !!!
Last time I was this early Bruce Jenner was still a man.
Nice!
🤣🤣🤣
The valve is for slow or fast hydraulics, D
Only lowering
When you were driving through the yard with the Tractor, the thought passed through my mind, hummmmmmmm we never see Mrs. Mustie........
Minimal hydraulic pressure at idle! You need to bump the throttle up.
Fun rig thanks for having me over bud👍
Did I miss a part where you determined that the glow plugs didn't work?
Edit: Spoke too soon.
Kool that little tractors turning out to be a pretty neat toy
Great episode you are a Master mechanic.
Them carpet dollies sure were the shit for moving that tiller around!
@The Great Cornholio
Necessary the Mother of invention
Great video Mustie !! Nice work!!
Have to agree, the hydraulic/trans fluid level seems low . . .
Great vids mate, Thanx for your effort doing and putting theses out. They are an education in DIY can do.
You start the show by saying, I bought new filters and fluids then you start tearing into everything instead of changing filters and the fluids!! I don't get it!!! Kind of like putting the cart in front of the horse!!! I always thought you start with the easiest thing first!!!
No reason to waste the money till you know everything is working.
Hi mustie in lockdown at moment in Australia love to watch your vids keep them coming cheers
" Sometimes the only fix is a good blowing makes all things better." There is a joke in there Mustie.
Not bashing, But I sure would like to know how 98 people disliked this video and why they disliked it. I mean I just don't understand why?? I know this kind of thing is not for everyone, but what were the reasons for a dislike? It pissed you off? You didn't like his practices? What?? I am the almost same age, same skillset, do the same kind of things, and can appreciate what he does and why he does it! There are some that can almost do this, but need a little guidance to help them along. Not to mention the up and coming repair people who learn the right way to go about things. So its hard for me to see the reasoning behind leaving a dislike. If nothing else , This man teaches people that there is value in being able to repair something someone else has discarded to end up needlessly in our landfills!!
Great video, encouragement to get my PTO working.
Mustie mansion looking tidy, nice to see it hasn’t fallen into decay during your long days at the shop.😎
