Kubota L2501 Maintenance Parts List

If you love your Kubota L2501 tractor as much as I do, then you know keeping it running smooth requires the right maintenance. Here’s a quick and easy list to some common maintenance parts you’ll need, the interval window, and part numbers for OEM or some great aftermarket options. Some of the aftermarket options have been reviewed by other sources as having higher performance than OEM, so I recommend using those instead. Let’s dive in!

Load Points Grease (Add Every Use)

Requires any NLGI-2 grease. Moly is optional for load points, but required for high speed/spinning joints. The following list is only for load points:

• OEM Part: Kubota 70000-10401
• Aftermarket Options:
  • Amsoil Synthetic Multi-Purpose (Recommended)
  • Lucas Oil Red-N-Tacky

Engine Oil & Filter (Change Every 200 Hours or Annually)

Engine Oil: 6 quarts (1.5 gallons) of 15w40 or 10w40. Recommend using 10w-40 for colder weather (14F or below) and 15w-40 for warmer seasons. The 10w will flow better while cold, whereas the 15w will give better oil stability.

• OEM Part: Kubota Genuine OEM SAE 15W-40 Engine Oil
• Aftermarket Options:
  • Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Engine Oil (Recommended)

Fan Belt

The fan belt should be checked and tightened every 100 hours, but typically requires replacement every 5 years due to hardening and rot.

• OEM Part: Kubota 15469-97010

Tire Pressure

Make sure to check and maintain the recommended tire pressures for your specific tires. Proper tire pressure ensures optimal performance and longevity of your tractor. If front weights or the front loader is installed and going to be filled to capacity, recommend filling the front tires up to their maximum rated on the sidewall.
