Are you sure all the filters between the fuel tank and the injection pump are clean? As I understand it there may be one hidden away somewhere near the tank outlet and a second one after a lift pump.

I assume you are going to find a flow issue. Did it run out of fuel or get pretty low? You may also want to see if turning the key to run or start position change fuel flow while you are checking it. I have no fuel pump on my tractor since the fuel tank is above the injection pump. I know...

You need to be sure that you have good fuel flow from the tank all the way to the injection pump. I would do that by removing the fuel line at the injection pump and seeing how much fuel flow you have. Drain into a small bucket to avoid making a mess.

Search for something like diesel exhaust smoke colors. Black is indicating that you may be over fueling. Also that it happens when you throttle up the engine indicates a fuel issue. I would try a few things to see if you can improve the situation before throwing any parts at it. I would drain...

See this valve that is something like you would need. You need the power beyond sleeve also. There is a good diagram lower in the post showing the general arrangement for the hydraulic circuit. https://summit-hydraulics.com/product/monoblock-hydraulic-directional-control-valve-2-spool-11-gpm/

The picture I posted above also shows the oil filler port at the right edge of the picture (painted red). That is often used for the tank return port by putting a tee and adapters there. I recall @TheOldHokie showing a part from some other tractor that fit into that port instead of having to...

There are illustrated parts lists at these sites https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/ https://www.messicks.com/vendor/kubota?nav=5466 https://www.kubotausa.com/parts/kubota-parts-lookup?_gl=1*vk4u3a*_gcl_au*MTg0NDU3Mzg1Ni4xNzYwMzg5NTIz

Well that is true. I didn’t think about having the tire rim combo being separated from the center. You can certainly move the tire and rim side to side and keep the rotation correct and get more separation if needed.

You will need to decide how many valves you want, probably two minimum and possibly three or more. You will need to figure out how to mount the valve, probably on the ROPS if you have one. I would not pursue an old valve. Then you will need to get the cylinders to fit your tractor. For these...

The tires have directional thread on them as far as I know. So they have to be left on the same side. You will need to move the center in the rim to change the width.

Look over your tractor and see if there are any ports that you might be able to use. See the green highlight in this picture. The plug that was there looked like a large bolt head but had a copper sealing washer under the head.

Have you tried this place?

For sure you don’t want to just have the nuts snug! They should make you hurt quite a bit to get them to the correct torque. I think you have the wrong blades or the wrong bolts. See this picture for a proper bolt in a blade. There is a large diameter shoulder near the head that the blade...

There is a SSt wool that you could use to fill that area. It might cause more trouble though since it is sharp so critters try to avoid it. You have to wear special gloves to handle it. I guess you could also try some mesh or screen to fill up the space underneath the dash.
