- In this video I replace a clutch in a Kubota B2150 Tractor. It's pretty much the same procedure for all the other brand tractors. I used the GoPro chest mount for the first time to make this video. It made it sound like I'm breathing very hard , Since the camera is so close.

You're a good man who did a good job. Your customer is lucky to have you.
Thanks
I replaced the clutch on a similar compact tractor several years ago, working by myself. Some advice: remove all attachments, including the front loader, to ease the job of separating and mating the two halves. Work on a concrete floor. Never rely on any type of hydraulic jack to support either half for any length of time. Instead, support one half with jack stands and keep it from shifting with wheel chocks, and custom build a wooden dolly with heavy casters to support the other half and allow it to be easily shifted around for the mating process. Having help naturally makes it easier, but you want those two heavy pieces to be aligned as precisely as possible.
I should have taken the box scraper off first. I forgot to do that.
Great work! You muscled your way through all the obstacles like it was easy, where the average mechanic would have major struggles
Thanks. I’ve been working as a auto mechanic for 29 years now. I also worked as a fleet mechanic for a big landscaping company before. I think this was the 4th tractor I replaced the clutch on.
I've helped do this with a few older tractors. My Kubota is hydrostatic and I hope I never have to any work to it! Good demo!
Thanks. It’s only the 3rd one I’ve ever done. The first one was like 30 years ago , the second one was 15 years ago. So I don’t think I will be doing another one for 15 years.
You made that look easy. Can tell its not your first rodeo. You have mechanic hands! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Yes I’ve done several of them before.
Very cool demonstration and walkthrough video
Thanks. I got to try out the GoPro chest mount for the first time.

Nice job Ken. I was a field service mechanic for a tractor dealership in Rio Vista from 1981 to 2001. We were also a Kubota dealer but I spent most of my time on the larger tractors. I don’t miss it one bit😀
The two tractors I did a long time ago were a little bit bigger than this one. Rio Vista is very close to me.
1970chevelle396 I have lived in Rio Vista since 1964. Still a nice town to live in😀
That's a big job. I'm trying to be very careful how I use my Kabota so as not to wear out the clutch or the brakes. But if I have to get into it I now have a video to help me. Thanks.
Thanks. Kubota’s are great tractors.
Nice work, you knocked that out right quick even with all the additional stuff.
Thanks. It looks like I did it fast.
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream new series online?
@Tommy Graham I use FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
@Marcellus Jorge definitely, I have been using flixzone for since march myself :)
@Marcellus Jorge Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !!
Nice work. Like the action shots.
Thanks. I used the GoPro chest harness to do that.
Amazing job.
Thanks
Nice job Ken. I have had to do mine once so for a JD. I have also done 2 kubotas.
Thanks. I did one Kubota about 30 years ago. And a New Holland like 15 years ago. This is the 3rd one I’ve done. I don’t normally work on tractors.
Good job looks like a lot of fun hahaha
Thanks
Wow that was a lot of work, my buddy has a Montana Tractor about the same size as that KOBOTO you just worked on, and it also needs a clutch he is very mechanically inclined but he said he will not attempt to change that clutch, I don't blame him, you made that look easy, great work,
Thanks
Very good video, I have the same problem... can you help me tell me if the bearing should have any game in the part of the candlestick or should it be fair?
Great job Ken! Obviously this wasn't your first rodeo. Haha You made it look easy ( almost fun in fact ). But I know it was a lot of hard work. Thanks for the video! Again, Great Job!
I’ve done 3 or 4 tractor clutches before. Thanks
I have a customer who needs a clutch replacement in a Kubota b7100 d750 a h. I was wondering if you could rough estimate your total billable time in this clutch replacement? Good job by the way thanks for the Post.
you made it look easy
Thanks
Damn you kicked ass!👏🍻👍
Thanks
My uncle wants me to pay me to do this on his, idk how much to charge him. But it doesn’t look too intimidating, just gotta pull a bunch of crap apart and put it back together. I’ve done clutches on Eaton fuller transmissions so I could prob get it done im more worried about pulling the thing apart than the actual clutch
Good job Ken .. That was a badly abused tractor that guy better be glad he got you to work on it
Thanks. I just talked to the customer and said he needs to do the maintenance on it on a regular basis. He said he bought it used 2 years ago.
Yea ive got to do a lb400 kubota with a broken bellhousing fun fun. lol Take care Ken.
Thanks
Can I ask what was your problem with this clutch?
I do have a Kubota b1500 who doesn't move when reverse high speed is engaged...and doesn't have any power with pto with any gear...do you think it might be the clutch?
Hope to get some help from you...I'm not an expert with these things and apparently nobody knows or wants to get hands on it!
I have a Branson (now TYM) 2400H. Drove into a ditch and bent clutch rod as it enters the clutch housing. Can this linkage be replaced without splitting the engine/clutch housing? Thanks
I’m not positive on that brand tractor. Since I’ve never worked on that brand before.
I am in the middle of a clutch replacement on my tractor. Not a professional, but I have been doing this type of work on trucks, motorcycles, and sports cars my entire life.
First tractor repair video I have watched and it was honestly very hard to watch because it was on the verge of being really good. The camera work and "narration" were in and out. I saw bolts, often didn't see where they came from or what they were attatched to. I can guess based on their size, etc. But then I am having to rely on my own knowledge and make guestimates. The narration could have helped but you would go silent ironically when the camera was smashed against a tire or facing the ground, leaving me guessing as to what happened.
I wouldn't have commented but I just spent 45min watching a video in order to help me fix a tractor that I need running on my farm now, 45min that could have been condensed into a 14min video tops, or you could have just set the camera on a stand at least I could see where you have your arms when the pneumatic tools are running.
You seem very knowledgeable and on the cusp of making a video that I would have paid money to watch.
I do not know how to use youtube and send this in a private message, my apologies that it is on the public comment. Please fill free to delete, if you can, after you have read it. And I only even took the time to send you this comment so that if you do a video like this again I will get access to your knowledge and skill.
Thank you honestly for putting content out there.
If I showed every detail of this job the video would be like 10 hours long. I was only showing the technical part. Only thing I recommend is if there is any attachments on it like a box scraper remove it before you start working on it. It leaked down on me and made it hard to roll the two halves of the tractor apart.
How much to you tighten the pressure plate bolts? I found a spec (23-27nm) for my l2950 but it compresses the pressure plate and closes the gap. Is that supposed to happen? I should’ve looked before I pulled it apart to see if there was a gap between the pressure plate and the clutch housing but I can’t remember.
Did you ever find out?
@@polomarco7053 I went a ahead and followed the spec. It does compress it down but perhaps that was the way it was and I just didn’t remember. It worked great after getting it all back together.
@@rueliotube Ok thanks you.
Where is that gearbox that has to come off just before it came apart? I have it apart about 2” and it won’t budge any more. Thanks for the video.
It’s right on the bottom. It hits the frame.
Great thanks! Hope that’s my hang up!
enjoyed....
Thanks
I have a tractor very similar to that one. Its making a noise (sounds like its coming underneath the steering wheel) when i run the pto with the rototiller. I watched ur video to see if i could see how that is setup on that tractor. Is there bearings in that assembly that could go bad over time or is it the clutch u think? Very informative vid by the way. Thank u
There’s two clutch discs in there. The one farthest away from the flywheel drives the PTO. If the noise is coming from under the steering column it could be bad. Or the bearing in the transmission for the PTO, the one closest to the clutch could be bad.
@@1970chevelle396 ok. Thank u for the info.
Great job - how much does it cost to replace the clutch labor and materials?
I didn’t buy the parts. And the labor rate is different in every state. And what I charge and what someone else charges are going to be different. So there is no way to answer that question.
On my Kioti LK3054 the throw-out bearing carrier is somehow spinning out of the channel where the linkage fork fits into it, to depress the throw-out bearing. We were able to spin it back into place on the fork and it had pushed the throw-out bearing forward perfectly when the tractor wasn't running , we attributed it to 25 years of wear w no maintenance from the previous owner so we adjusted the pedal linkage a little bit so the linkage kept just a little tension on the assembly when the pedel was not depressed. So we thought we got lucky but as soon as we started the tractor up and went to push in the pedal to put it into gear the carrier spun off the fork linkage again. Anyone have any suggestions ?
It’s hard to say without seeing it. The clutch fork might be worn out.
Does the clutch fork typically hold the throw out bearing carrier in place? Or is it used only to push the throw out bearing carrier forward. If the fork typically holds the carrier in place then I'm wondering if we should have adjusted the fork linkage a little tighter /putting more tension on the bearing carrier to keep it in place?
Tim Schad Yes the clutch fork normally holds the throw out beating carrier in place., some of them have clips that hold the two together.
@@1970chevelle396 Thanks for all your help w this and your quick replies. Your 1st assessment was 100% right. I believe the knubs on the fork that are what held the carrier in place are worn out so the carrier spins up out of the forks. Gonna try to tac a little weld in there to hold it in place for now to finish up the season and get us through till winter. hits. Then it looks like we'll be splitting the tractor and giving the old girl an overhaul. Thanks again ...super kind of you !!!
@@1970chevelle396 PS: I purchased maintenance and service manuals for the LK3054 tractor...if anyone needs blowup pics of anything feel free to reach out.
how much something like that woud cost? i wanna help a lady fix her tractor but im sure if i should do this!
I don’t know what it would cost since I didn’t buy the parts. You would have to price the parts out buying calling the dealership up.
Hi I was interested in getting some clutch work done. Are you taking on any new clients. Thanks
No I’m not taking on any new clients.
interesting!
Thanks.
You need to roll your toolbox around to the other side lol
Looks like the Prelude took a hit.
It took a real big hit when a girl made a left hand turn right in front of me. I will make a video about it as soon as everything is settled with the insurance. I’ve been stuck fighting with the insurance company for almost 6 months now.
Please find someone to edit this down and cut out all of the unnecessary stuff. I am interested within reason.
