I'd like get the front axle out and see if I can get it tightened up so steering isn't so loosey goosey. I have the WSM but, it's not a very informative publication. Anyone ever pulled the G2160 axle? Did you document and or photograph it at all? Any tips? Are there bushings that wear out on...

Yesterday, had the grand kids over. I was out doing chores with my G2160 and my oldest little granddaughter was watching and wanted to go on a ride. (3 and a half YO). the littler one 2 YO is scared but she was all good riding in the cart with her sister and her Nona. The 3+ YO one was loving it

I'd put this question in my tach/oil pressure thread. But, no response. Likely got buried. Anyway coolant temp sensor thread on G2160 with D782 anyone know that thread size? Will I be running into British sizes yet again? NPT or metric?

Just wondering if anyone knows the spec for normal oil pressure on a D782 engine? It's now got 1000 hours and been pretty well cared for. I run T-6 5w-40 in it. Going to be mounting a mechanical gauge on it today. I know I can wade through my Shop Manual but just wondered since I m online not...

Quite some time ago I inquired about putting a tach on my G2160. I've been doing quite a lot of research. It seems the neatest and cleanest way is to add a "W" wire into my alternator. So I took the alternator off, and removed the back cover. Noticed there were IIRC 6 taps going to the field...

So, I'm just wondering. I know the glow plugs are there to help "light off" the diesel sooner and start the engine easier. But, if it's warm outside and you simply crank the engine a few seconds longer is there any harm to the engine by not using them? (other than running the starter a few...

So I have a really nice AutoMeter Oil pressure gauge (mechanical) I had used on my old Honda 4514 as their oil pump was a weak point and there was no pressure warning or cutoff. Anyway I bought the Autometer (it's mechanical). Now I want to out it on the Kubota G2160. I noted the oil sender...

Has anyone used something like this? 52mm Pointer Tachometer 4000 RPM Tacho Meter Gauge With RPM Sensor For Car Boat | eBay Does the sensor simply pick up the teeth on the flywheel for it's pulses?

So on the air cleaner housing there is a rubber "duckbill" looking thing. When I bought my tractor it was ripped. I installed a new one and recently saw the new one is ripped. I hadn't even noticed it or noted any difference in the machine's performance. But, they seem to have a short lifespan...

So, just another thing I am curious about. Gasoline has many additives right out of the nozzle so it can meet certain regulations and so in some cases can be called "Top Tier" But, diesel? Other than being refined to "low Sulphur" from the pump does it have things (like gasoline) added i.e...

Does the injector pump on a D782 get lubrication from the crankcase? Is it pressure fed or "splashed"? Always wondered about this, never asked because whatever is there, seems to "work" :D I always hear about the lubricity of the fuel, that sulphur removal huts that, and so on. So just hoping...

Diesel Engine Tach Adapter RPM Signal Sensor For Motorcycle ATV UTV Boat Yacht 759117946977 | eBay Did it work with any tach?

So, really very pleased with how efficiently this G2160 runs. I topped off the tank prior to winter and stuck the battery maintainer on it. Early in the spring I began putting the machine to work. Leaf cleanup, core aerating, mowing, also pulling the Fimco sprayer, slit aerating and mowed down...

Just throwing this question out You folks who have this deck or variation of it. Just curious how often to you hit the spindles with grease gun and change the gear oil in the gear box? I have the maint manual. Just wondering if there is any other input on this?

Are glow plugs to be considered a "regular" replacement like spark plugs on a gasoline engine? IOW replace at regular intervals? Or simply on an as needed basis

So watching as technology of gasoline engines starts changing as well as that of diesels and they become "closer". For instance. Many gas engines use GDI (gasoline direct injection). Similar to a diesel. Fuel injected at precise moment for proper combustion. Yet gas engines using this are...

So somewhat new to diesel. I see some threads here mentioning water separators. I see only fuel filters on my G2160. So it leaves me somewhat curious. Should I install a water separator on my machine? If so any recommendation on what to get, where to install? I know enough to know water should...

So I stumbled onto this video yesterday evening and marked it. Watched it this AM and found it pretty entertaining. Enjoy (I hope) S2E27 Kubota diesel powered Saturn SC1 first start and we road test the car. How fast will it go? - YouTube

So still learning about diesels and their finer points of operation. Today took the tractor out (G2160) because still lots of leaves to chop up. Cold day today (about 30 deg) high temp, though so it was a little bit of a beast to fire up. IDK if it was coincidence or not but my starting method...

I want to put a temp gauge and oil pressure gauge on my G2160. Anyone know the thread sizes for the fittings on the engine for the sending units? I am a little tired of the "idiot" lights
