Does that L have draft control? I had a similar problem with my neighbor's JD until I figured out I was using the draft control o_O instead of the position lever. Set the DC fully down and use the PC, I think.

The bottom one is spring loaded, apparently the top one is not.

I have blue aqueous dye and red oil-base dye (from when I was using diesel fuel with herbicide on cut stumps). The blue doesn't work well with oil. The blue seems to fade in sunlight after about 24 hours. Never thought about using Rit.

If you can disassemble the spindle, you should be able to source bearings and seals from an auto parts store or a supply house. The seals don't have to look exactly like the originals, just match o.d., i.d., and fit in the space.

In spite of your best efforts, it sounds like you have some crossed connections. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the quick connects, but it sure sounds like crossed connections. Once you have the connections right, you can cycle each function a few time and any air will be purged.

You lazy bum. How can you resist those eyes? :)

All we see down here is the Goodrich blimp. Memory check.

What a great country! Pine pollen season was over down here over a month ago. We're well into tornado season now :) .

Did you get any pictures of where the oil came from?

Are you spreading powder or pellet lime? I wouldn't think pellet would be a problem; if powder, a broadcast spreader is the wrong tool.

What you describe is the standard Kubota setup, someone must have changed it There are assembly and WorkShop Manuals for the BH77 available at KubotaBooks. That should walk you through the changeover. No Operator Manual, but there is one for the BH75, which will be very similar.

There should be some identifying numbers stamped into a flat spot near the injector pump.

It's a good simple mowing tractor. It's kind of light in the front with only a 5' cutter, could use some weights. It shows some of its Indian roots, the PTO clutch is apparently manual, the handle is at least 2' long with about that much throw LOL.

I went over to the dark side. My 80+ yo, widowed neighbor needed a few favors. Yesterday it was get her ExMark zt going. Tighten the battery cables and jump start it, no problem. Today it was get her tractor going so she could get someone to bushhog her pasture. She thought it was out of fuel...

What vehicle are we dealing with here? I see an rk1100 engine and rk1100 Rotavator.
