The front weight bracket and the weights were ordered at a local dealer as part of a massive order to Kubota which will save individual shipping costs. I saw no significant difference between the dealers I checked locally and online. Saving the cost of shipping sealed the deal. FYI: I...

Thanks. I need to contact a dealer. I did some searching online but was unsuccessful at locating either the bracket or the weights. I assume, all Kubota dealer will sell the bracket and weights for the same price. John

Thanks John

I appreciate the comments and suggestions and can understand not all have the same experience or results from their own equipment. I was out today and again had a few dicey experiences in which the front end began sliding down and sideways as I moved along the side of a hill. Without doing...

The 1710 has a 3 cylinder diesel engine of about 23.5 horse power and a standard transmission. When purchased, the tractor was used, with about...

Evan: After reading what you have tried so far, I would consider checking for a head gasket leak. I read the tractor has 55hours but over the years, the coolant should be changed, every 1 - 2 years. Was it? As the coolant breaks down with AGE, the corrosion inhibitors are gone, leading possibly...
