Have you cleaned the exterior of the radiator fins really well?

You do not have to remove the implement end of the drive shaft. If you just pull the drives towards the front end it will come apart and fall on the ground so put down a piece of cardboard to keep it clean. You will need to remove the plastic shield on the male side to clean and grease it but...

Get your good eyes on or use a magnifying glass to look at the couplers. There should be some manufacturing numbers engraved on the coupler. Then you can search for those and find out what they are.

@Pharmere Is the tank actually leaking fuel or did the inserts simply pull out of the holes? I don’t think you stated that fact in your posts. If it is leaking, then you really have nothing to loose by trying to repair it even if success is doubtful. I might look at drilling the hole out...

Start with disconnecting all the quick connections one by one and cleaning them. Then reconnect that connection and move along until they are all clean and you KNOW they are well connected. The slow movement is (probably) from a blockage in the oil flow. But it may be the third function valve...

Could you mount a slip clutch to the existing stub shaft and just have one universal joint involved? In other words just eliminate the sliding part of the shaft completely? But I really think you only need around 100 to 150 mm of overlap on the shaft. Why are you thinking of 400 mm total? Of...

Call this place and see if they have any used ROPS https://mossycreekoutdoors.com/

I think that if you put the FEL out towards the front as flat as it can go as shown in @Runs With Scissors sketch and then chained the FEL to the mower you could lift the front of the mower by curling the FEL. I definitely think you will need to support and lift the mower at some time in its...

Yes. But you may want to look at all the rubber hoses and the connection points on the suction side of the pump. There may be some issues that allow air to be sucked into the oil. The issues are loose connections, cracked hoses or leaky joints. But honestly you have shown a cup of oil with...

@007kubotaguy has a salvage yard in California that may have those parts you need. Here is the phone number This place is a good repair shop and may have a rebuilt pump or cheaper repair https://oregonfuelinjection.com/

T Think about a kid trying to get 110% of a drink out of a cup through a straw. Slurping is another way to think of it.

Perhaps attach the rear of the mower to the tractor bumper but use the FEL at the front of the mower to lift it up and provide the motive force? Hinged at the tractor or possibly some parallel linkages? That might shorten it up some but may still block your view? I don’t know how the tractor...

Look at the blades under the mower to see if they are stuck or bent.
