Tryna find a generic belt I assume. Good luck making one last as long as the OE belt. If it's breaking you have other issues. Fix those issues. Mine still has the original belts, close to 1800 hours on it and 1600 of that from the original owner who must have used it every single day. She...

Polaris Ranger Kinetic is the ticket. It isn't totally silent, but very close. It's basically a proven Ranger XP 1000 but with an electric motor. 2 models. Premium and Ultimate. Ultimates have 2 batteries, and an 80 mile range (give or take, depends on loading, how you drive, etc but I...

i changed my voice mail greeting. Most people record a "leave a message" tone, and that's about it. You get the idea. Here is my voicemail greeting: I have had one similar for 10+ years and get VERY few spam/robo calls.

Kubota made a bagger for them. Pain in the neck, I do not advise using them. They had a blower mounted to the discharge side, IIRC, and the blower adds weight which helped the RH side of the deck dig into the grass especially on LH turns. On a 3 blade deck, the only way the baggers will...

a lot of stuff is a recommendation not a mandate I will say this. If it says "replace power steering hose every 2 years", and it fails while still in extended warranty, if they request service records and don't see the hose replacement, you're gonna be buying a new hose-and the labor to put it...

see if you can find one on ebay?

a quart a couple times a week? I got that beat. had an 82 El Camino, 3.8L Chevy (not Buick, you could have them both ways) 90 deg V6. The word "TURD" didn't describe it. I absolutely HATED that thing but it did have some usefulness at the time. For about 4 months I was putting a gallon in...

that engine will not stay together on any oil. Poorly designed, or should I say it had a decent design but poorly executed. GM knows this. They're trying to shift the liability to the owners. It's what they've done for years and why I do not buy GM vehicles, which is unfortunate because...

in terms of engine oil, viscosity refers to how 'well' it flows. Remembering that modern engines have much smaller oil flow channels and galleys, and often much longer distances from the oil pump too. so when the manufacturer says use 0w40, it's for a reason and not so much MPG or emissions as...

You know how to handle it. Do it. I know it sucks, BTDT, but as someone who's worked on a farm, things have to be done that aren't exactly "PC". Working farm, you're gonna have a dead one here and there and they usually just carried them out to the bone pile and left them. Coyotes took care...

I wish all fuel tanks had a drain of some sort. Most do not, unfortunately. Sucks!!

ok so the filters are on the suction side. Pull the line off of the pump inlet and see if it's got oil flowing to it. If it does, and it will likely run out in a hurry so be prepared to put the hose back on quickly, then you'll need to work up towards the pump. In 30 years I replaced two...

it's a self-bleeding system as most kubota's are removing high pressure hoses while running can be very, very dangerous. don't do it. did you clean the suction screen (if it has one, I don't remember?)??

gasket was possibly leaking, hard to see but looks like it could have been at several spots. That would explain the bubbles in coolant. never use starting fluid. Ever. If it won't start on it's own something is wrong. Fix that before destroying it. now with the head off you want to put...

I don't remember on those, but do they charge through a relay?
