You really need to have the logic for the control of the plugs to determine if this is normal or not. All of the Kubota built engines which we put in our machines seem to cycle the glow plugs for about 1 second until until coolant temp is below 32F. Then cycle time increases increases with a...

Yes I bought it 6 yrs. ago. But there are similar ones available on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWQGNNR?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_16 This is the last one I bought and it has served me well. If I were to buy another one it would have the articulating head, 5mm as any larger will not get into tight spaces and preferably wireless. Having your...

Where do you have your draft control lever set and you are moving the position control lever all the way towards the rear correct? If it still does not lift to the correct height then it may be installed incorrectly or the adjustments for the draft and feedback are off.

Isn't the upper limit for the main relief valve 2000psi?

The style of seal you are referencing does not rotate against either of the housings. It is a unitized seal and the sealing element is internal. The internal rubber ring seats against the "shaft" of the upper bevel gear case and stays fixed to that case. The outer rubber ring is pressed into the...

In theory the camber or the vertical center axis of the front tire and the King pin axis should intersect near the center of the tire. This makes steering easier and correctly distributes the load on both items.

For what it's worth my brother's old Woods 72" brush hog is over 20 yrs old and it still is running with the old 45hp box ,if it is even rated that high. It has been on everything from a 8N to my Ford 4630 and it still runs fine. Just the deck is getting beat. It is not so much the tractor but...

Their rating seems to be, in their own words, "based on field testing". Not sure what that means and if the rating is endorsed by the gearbox manufacturer or Woods is making the claim independently. Either way I would opt for the heaviest gearbox I could get as long as the blade speed is the...

Looks like there are couple options, one of which is a 45hp gearbox. The other does not look as though it is much heavier.

The right front hub and assembly has to come off the axle. After that you have to remove the input seal, then the snap ring. The pinion will then come out of the axle housing. The bevel gear then comes out the axle housing through the opening left by the right side hub assembly. Download the...

Did the shop possible assemble the steering cylinder with the barrel reversed?

M30 is the size of the fastener shank/thread. That would make it 46 mm which is close to 1.5" Buy a 1.5" wrench from Harbor freight or a 18-24" adjustable. Just remember when using an adjustable wrench the fixed jaw should be positioned away from you when you are pulling it toward you or vice versa.

Unfortunately that will require a new bevel gear set. The entire differential will need to be removed, gone through and reassembled.

I played that game by mistake once in 1984. After dropping 20 gals of hyd. oil on the floor I have trained myself to make sure my circuit is complete or has a method of managing that flow LOL.
