Replaced the existing fuel filter assembly with a new OEM unit from Messicks. Also replaced the water separator assembly as the existing one was a bit long in the tooth. The new filter/pump unit had an obviously different pump feature, leading me to believe that the spring was removed from the...

Yeah I gave it hell. I don’t have little bish hands either 🤣 The knob is pancaked down onto the lower housing. I removed the knob and sprayed the lower brass section with pen-oil, will see how that goes. So far no joy. I looked up replacement parts and you can clearly see the knob is...

Alrighty, I went and messed with that knob using a bit more force, no go. Not sure if the bleed/prime pump is seized, or if mine simply doesn’t have that feature. The file attachment feature wouldn’t allow a video, please see pictures.

LMAO, if that pans out to be the case….well I’ll be in your debt. Will report back tomorrow. May take a video if things don’t go favorably so you see what I see.

Well this is embarrassing. So, the operator console was packed solidly with snow yesterday and this morning. I took two 5 gal buckets of room temp water out and flushed/melted all the snow completely from the seat compartment and off the range selector and 3pt controls. As Wolfman had...

I do have a WSM with Hydraulic Shuttle supplement. There is very little in the supplement that is helpful other than it acknowledges that a wet clutch is involved and hydraulic shuttle valve is present, how to split the tractor to replace the clutch or trans innards, and how to R&R the shuttle...

Greetings all, first post here. I own a Kubota M5700 Hydraulic Shuttle that is used for mowing brush mostly. Today I was extracting a stuck vehicle (massive snowfall) and the tractor was working great. I pulled the tractor into the driveway, neutralized the shuttle shift lever, took it out of...
