    Steering rod link issue

    So I needed a new steering rod link for my G2160. I went to my local dealer and they said it was redesigned and sold me the new version. It looked a lot more "stout" than the old one but now not even a full season in and it looks like the photos. Ideas?

    Deck on GR2120

    So just wondering. I would really like a slightly smaller easier to handle deck for my 2160. I see a guy nearby selling a GR2120 for $400 with a 54" deck. The deck is my only interest. Is it workable to my 2160?

    Thermostat

    One thing I noticed when doing my coolant change the other day. When I was trying to "bleed" the system, I did my fill up. After fill up I did open the petcock on the engine block until I got a good flow of pink. Just to help ensure it was all premix in there not just water. Started the engine...

    Oil on dipstick clean/clear but not what comes out

    So I had made a comment a while back at how clean the oil in my engine looked when I pull the dipstick. Well, I think I had about 60 hours (give or take a little) so decided an oil and filter change was in order. Got the Mityvac out and noticed what was coming up through the tube was pretty...

    Air chuck on filter housing

    So I noticed what appears to be an air chuck on my air filter housing. It doesn't fit a standard tire chuck though. It opens to the inside of the filter and I have to assume sending air through there blows out the filter element so debris can escape through the funny looking rubber "lips"? What...

    Rear View Camera

    So I am getting this "brilliant" idea for my machine. I am constantly straining my neck when I am spreading fertilizer or spraying with the sprayer or simply backing it into the back garage. Actually thinking of buying one of these add on back up cameras and mounting the camera in the center of...

    Something a little more lighthearted

    Had our baby granddaughter over yesterday (15 mos). She's fearless. You can see by the smiles she had great time https://youtube.com/shorts/-bCPmcgnjRc?feature=share

    Cruise Control

    I see mention of an optional Cruise Control on my G2160. No mention of how it works or the breakdown of parts etc. I am a little interested as I noticed when I am pulling my sprayer going up hill the machine slows considerably. I don't think it caused me any issues but I would like to perhaps be...

    Oil not dirty

    Having never owned a diesel engine in my life (until now) all I'd ever heard is that diesels turn the oil black in no time. I bought my machine with about 860 hours on it. Previous owner(s) had always used Amsoil diesel oil in it. It was a bit dirty when I bought it and somewhat low due to a...

    Transmission cooler

    So while rummaging around my garage I came across an old auto trans cooler I had replaced in one of my cars with a larger one. I am wondering if A, it might have some benefit to my G2160 HST and B, if so where would it be plumbed?

    Blade Recommendation (by myself)

    So last spring when I bought this G2160 (with 60" deck) the blades on it had really been through the wringer. So I started looking into "gator style" blades. After a lot of research I settled on XHT Predator blades. A video (I cannot find a link to now) showed how well they're made and can...

    To Grease or Not to Grease

    That is the question. I am curious about the coupler that hooks up the mower deck drive to the PTO drive under the tractor. Last year I took that whole thing apart, cleaned it and greased it with moly grease. This year when I took it apart it was packed with dirt and other "nasties". So my...

    So I have been hard at work for over a month

    I've been hard at work over a month now on my G2160. Haven't been able to work steadily on it due to baby sitting duties at times for my little 14 mos old grand daughter but lots of work. Pulled body work, did some minor repairs to it, repainted upper/lower hood, rear fender pan. Rolled on...

    Indicator bulbs

    So has anyone tried replacing the indicator bulbs (little 194 bayonet type) in the cluster for low fuel, glow plugs, etc with LED? I just ordered a bag of them. My hope is they're a little brighter and easier to see in daylight.

    Wheel Color or Covers?

    After doing a lot of refinishing work on my G2160 I am thinking my wheels look a little "shabby". Wondering if anyone knows what the color is of the wheels (definitely not white but some type of very pale beige), or I ahve seen some with some polished "baby moons". I might go for that instead.

    Remove Steering Wheel G2160

    So I would really like to get the steering wheel off. So far everything I have tried = failure. I even asked the dealer service dept if they had a puller I could perhaps buy or borrow. Service tech said they just put a pry bar under the wheel and "zap" it on the top shaft with his Snap On air...

    Removing Emblems

    Has anyone ever had any luck removing and reusing the KUBOTA emblems (or as the parts book calls them "labels") on the sides of the fiberglass hood? It would be item number 60 on the drawing

    Help with speed control pedal G2160

    So, my 2160 has a weird thing I think is related to 2 issues. Misadjustment of the speed/direction control system/linkage and quite a lot of wear. The machine is ridiculously fast in forward. Literally "scary" fast. Running along at near 20 mph with engine on the governor and pedal full down...
