Hello Lugbolt, thank you for pointing that out. The engine mounts look good to me and not too soft either, but I will double check because I think I have a fairly early model, maybe early 90s. But may have been replaced already. No, the limiter is genuine Kubota ex factory. See post #4. Kind...

Hi John, great tractor, well done and you will not see any corrosion problems in the damp Irish climate any time soon (y) :giggle: Greetings from Cork, Hugo

Yes, and I think this damaged part explains why the PTO (belt) clutch for the deck was a bit sluggish and did not engage fully. The rubber was gone, the engine pulled too low and not enough force on the V-belts. The more I work on this little tractor the more I learn. Love working on it and...

Yes, all new, but fun, I am enjoying it. I'd say you know the part manuals inside out, quite amazing when somebody ask a question and you can pinpoint the very part that is faulty. (y) Yes, but I was not sure before if other things had crumbled away too :). The damaged strip material is some...

What I did to my Kubota today was adding a modification to the front axle that takes the strain out of the centre bearing (was completely worn out on my G1900, had to add a bronze bushing). I added Delrin blocks that slide along inside the front axle frame and take the steering and front wheel...

I do not expect you to dig through hundreds of pages to look for a tiny part. But thank you for the reply, that sent me in the right direction, appreciated! There is some logic to it (from an engineering perspective) where they put it but very tough to find when you don't make the PTO...

Hello Wolfman, thank you, that is the key! Why would somebody add something like this, preventing the engine from going down too far at the front? There is the front PTO with two big V-belts that also form the clutch and pulling down the engine, and Bingo, there are the parts in the catalogue...

Good point with the off centre bolt. But I think it is centered with the frame, will have to double check, difficult to see on the picture. The broken part is some rubber material, perished. And the bolts holding it are from Kubota. I don't think they would have used this type bolt if it is a...

Hello, the G1900 has some form of engine movement limiter mounted on the engine plate rear end at front of the tractor under the flywheel (see first picture, flywheel removed). I cannot find the parts in the parts manual, it is neither with the frame where the engine rubber mounts are shown nor...

I'm glad I have an old orange Kubota. Them blue tractors seem to leak ever so slightly ex-factory already ...

I ask myself for a good while now why it is called AI and not AS which would be the correct wording ...

In this case I would buy a Mercedes W123 gear lever on Aliexpress for $7 incl. shipping, a set of IP65 rated pushbuttons for just over $10 and do a bit of DIY.

Well, no, since a multiplier is really a (multiple) diverter the expression in my humble opinion is correct. I think the multipliers should really be called "diverter with x outputs" but I think it's too late at this stage :) The joystick with the pusbuttons looks like a great solution to me...

Hello Dan and North Idaho Wolfman, great, thank you very much for clarifying, confirming !

I'd say it's more that Joe is being haunted by his welding joints. I certainly would have nightmares if they would be on my tractor. :)

Biscuits. I'd say it's them biscuits.

I hope I am forgiven to ask newbie questions here. I read up a few things already but I am still not 100% clear about what means what. Is it correct that a rear remote is an electronically controlled valve with a lever as demand generation connected via a cable? And a diverter valve is an...

Fine, here is one perfectly valid reason NOT to put a drywall, or as a matter of fact, any type of screw into the tyre: the densitiy of steel is way higher than the density of rubber. So at speeds of, say 200 miles per hour and beyond the imbalance would be way too high and do damage to the...

My experience with chinese supplied superglue in combination with rubber is very good. If that still works after your rubber cement attempt I do not know.

There is an easier way: simply drive an old vehicle / tractor. I do not see any spying problems with my 1983 daily driver :) If you do not want to kill the spying electronics (GPS and GSM modem) with a well aimed high voltage spark into the antenna input you can also get GPS jammers for under...
