    Side kick CVT issues

    the cvt is a little bit different design on the sidekicks than it is on the Polaris. It's important to use low gear when you're below about 15mph on the Polaris, but it's absolutely critical on the Sidekick. I felt that worth mentioning, in case you didn't already know. aside from that I'd...

    Need help accessing the clutch safety switch on a B7800

    I used to have a tool I made out of....a Kubota tractor crate....that worked fairly well to get the nut off of the B series clutch switch. Wasn't hard to make it, just some 3/16" plate with a slot cut into it that fits the nut, and bent so it'd fit up in there. I wanna say it's 27mm or 1 1/16"...

    When PU's were work trucks

    i used to have that exact truck when I was younger. Believe me, it is NOT going to pull a plow in the Arkansas (or Nebraska....) dirt, at least not with the discs or tines in the ground doing regular plow stuff that we normally did with a plow. Aint enough traction. Not in 4wd, certainly not...

    Voltage regulator rectifier for LiFePO4 battery

    the simple solution is to put a AGM or FLA battery in, and be done with it. Toss a battery tender on it if it sits a lot (most ATV's do sit quite a bit). you can buy regulators in different configurations but you may have to change the connector. I've used Yamaha regulators on Mowers in the...

    Mower Blades Hit RCK54P

    sandy soil kills blades. I've tried different brands and some last a little bit longer but not enough longer.

    XG850 Starter replacement

    and there are millions and millions of them made, and the aftermarket has them covered in addition (which are often cheaply made, with the exception of Denso, which is an OEM, and about $400....I have one on mine). There are no aftermarket choices for Kubota XG850, at least that I know of, thus...

    Kubota SVL95-2S Deleting the DEF System

    i'll offer what I know, and yall can use it for whatever it's worth. I ain't trying to talk anyone out of doing it, by the way, but I'm also not condoning "deleting" them. Removing the devices requires a custom tune that will allow for a safe operation of the engine. "Safe" meaning the engine...

    2010 RTV 500 repairs

    this is an instance where you REALLY need a way to see what the ECU sees as far as sensor data. I don't recall being able to do that even with kubota dealer's software (Diagmaster). have you addressed the coolant temp sensor? It also plays a critical role in the EFI's strategy.

    stripped bolt to drain transmission fluid

    how long was the break over bar that was used to tighten that plug until it ate the threads out of the case? I'm curious. 4 foot? Cheater pipe? helicoil should work but it has to go in squarely or it won't seal properly. I did one many moons ago where a customer botched the heli-coil and I...

    Dodge Fans....No V8s

    they don't like you putting a plow on an f150 at all, but the main reason on the ecoboost is because plowing snow plugs up the intercooler, and then the engine is ingesting hot air because the IC is plugged with snow and can't cool. I remember dad putting a plow on his old truck many moons...

    2017 Chevy Silverado A/C

    blend door actuators are really really common failure points on GM vehicles. Hence one major reason (of many....) that the wife's car (Acadia) is going away ASAP. Problematic POS, been nothing but trouble since the day she bought it (new, BTW) in 2009.

    Dodge Fans....No V8s

    The "con" is not so much a con, but a result of what the markets have been wanting for years. I tend to look at the traffic flowing by work on a daily basis when I can, typically 40,000 cars a day on average but sometimes up to 60,000. I notice a LOT more F150s that are 4x4 than I do 4x2...

    Zero Turn Start Issue

    brake switch almost always is the culprit on a click but no start condition. Occasionally bad connections or bad ground. Check the engine mounting bolts (especially you Kohler guys...)

    Dodge Fans....No V8s

    ok I am going to rant a litle the TT engines have one purpose. Marketing. Yes they can tow a trailer. Yes they will DRINK fuel while doing so. And if you drive like a maniac like most people do nowadays, they're gonna drink fuel like that too. The EPA among others, wants to know all about...

    Loader arms faded...will warranty cover this?

    seen more than one sitting at farms and ranches, faded to almost pink. at one point some of the M series hoods and especially the plastic roof, woudl fade to pink in a short time--Kubota was eating a few of those but it was a very small number of them and the 'bulletin' only lasted I think 2...

    Loader arms faded...will warranty cover this?

    loaders have a 1 year warranty, which starts the day you sign the paperwork, and ends 12 months later. and in my experience which may or may not be worth anything to some of y'all, they don't cover paint defects on loaders and certainly not if it's years out of warranty. It sucks but warranty...

    What kind of snake?

    appears to be a dekay's brown snake. We have them in arkansas too, and at times hundreds of them in the yard. I leave them be, good ones to have around.

    Kubota Tractor Extended Warranty, Is It Worth the Cost?

    I can afford the cost of repairs to my new polaris, that is no issue. However, I still bought extended warranty. If I should sell it at some point, it will be worth more with the warranty. That is really the only reason, and a point should be made to consider that part too. I may buy it for...
