    L553 milky hydraulic oil. How do I prevent this from happening?

    I’ve discovered three possible issues with my L555 that I’m hoping will reduce the moisture problem. The side panels need to be very well sealed. I found water could enter mine through the chain adjuster (one appears to be incorrect for my model, so this is unlikely to be your problem). Check...

    L555 HYDRAULIC BREATHER

    Found them. On the front cab columns, inside the cab. They look like bottle tops inside holes in the columns. The cap is push-fit and the plastic breather screws into the frame. I used a 1-1/4” AF socket to remove breathers. On my machine, they were covered in dirty grease which falls down...

    L555 Boom locked

    EDIT: Problem “solved” - see end comment I’ve had this 1990 L555 Deluxe for around 2 years and it generally behaves well.

    L555 Steering Shock/Neutraliser Repair?

    I’ve taken the bits in to the local hydraulics place and ordered the VW replacement damper so, hopefully, all goes well from here.

    L555 Steering Shock/Neutraliser Repair?

    This is update to yesterday’s post which went back into approval after I edited it. This is new information so I started a new thread. I removed the right steering shock and discovered it has only 15mm (3/4”) of travel compared to 40mm on the left shock. Using the parts diagram and Mike10’s...

    Where did my post go?

    I’ve been a member for a while and the post was live. Now gone. I edited it, so maybe a problem there.

    Where did my post go?

    I posted a question yesterday in the NH forum, regarding an issue with my right-side steering lever. I can’t find that post today. While it was similar to previous questions, I wasnt the same issue. Did I do something wrong?

    L555 Kubota v1902 coolant drain?

    Thanks. The leak appears to be from the tap itself, not the thread. I’ve managed to find the part number now, so hopefully that will guide me in finding a replacement.
