Careful cracking injector tube fittings loose. It's easy to let the injector itself turn; which can cause other problems. Hold the nozzles with a wrench and loosen the lines with another wrench, so that nothing but the fitting turns. You wouldn't believe how many times I've seen tractors in...

Oh yes and as far as Tier IV and Mahindra not using a DPF, they will have to eventually. When the tier schedule was introduced, the government knew that manufacturers needed time to figure out how to meet the strict laws set forth. So they gave them until 2008, and gave them 5 steps, or...

I work closely with some people that know the Kubota stuff really REALLY well. They deal with tens of thousands of tractors, L's, B's, M's, big M's, BX's. basically all of them. To my knowledge, there have been TWO L series DPF failures, and one that I know of may have been done out of spite...

Skeets you're right. Kubota being a Japanese company, a lot of their publications are translated from Japanese to English. It's my understanding that if a writing is translated from Japanese to English, and then back to Japanese, there is some lost translation. I call it "japanenglish"...

I would avoid the GR series. Problematic transmissions even after they're "fixed" (rebuilt with updated parts). And real expensive to fix if you have to pay someone to do it. If it were me (and it obviously isn't), I'd have kept the G1900. I do a lot of trading and whatnot, and I had a...

You need to find someone who's got an ultrasonic cleaner. These things are awesome-well the good ones are. The HF ones will work for cleaning shell casings and jewelry but for carbs you need heat; and not all of the cleaners have a heating element in them. I always like to tell folks to try...

PO606 is a low voltage issue. In other words, the ECU did not see 12v or more for a certain time. There can be several causes for the 606. One, low battery, usually after sitting a period of time without being started. Then when you crank the engine, the ECU "sees" lower than expected...

Bottom of radiator has a drain on it, going off of memory, right in the center, kinda tough to get to, but it drains well. As I remember, it was a slotted head plastic "screw" type deal. As new as the 2301 is, should come right out.

Your friend is a smart person! Not too long ago we traded for a L3600GST, had a little over 1000 hours, LA680-1 loader and no rear implement. It was well used and not very well cared for judging by it's condition. They gave $4500 trade in allowance for it. Not even a month later I was...

And dealers were marking the prices up a little too. Scalping. Then when the Tier IV trucks came out, DPF and DEF, it was deemed to be much ado about nothing. The systems work and work pretty good (most of the time). Actually on trucks, you don't even know it's in it's cycle unless you see...

They had to take all the lead out of the paint, which it pretty much sucks now. A good coat of good wax makes a big difference, and they don't put ANY wax on it from the factory (NONE). Needs to be some. And the paint will not fade NEARLY as bad if it's waxed. JD doesn't fade as bad because...

had to do a BX25 recently, fan. Debris got up in there and took out the blades. Wouldn't have mattered if the blades were made of steel either, it'd just tear up more than the blades if they were. Anyway...I took a new fan, split it, and went ahead with the install according to the link...

The instructions are confusing. Normally when it wants to regen, 2 lights come on. The top one (puffer light) and then one below it with a pic of an engine, with an arrow through it pointing "up"...that means do nothing other than rev the engine, wide open works. As long as it's above 2300...

The RTV500's chassis won't let a diesel converted to gas engine fit in there-not enough room. The little gas engine that it used on them (twin cylinder) is either a pump or generator engine used overseas, I forget where and what it was used for-but it was an existing engine that Kubota used...

The brake linkage has several points of seizure. I've seen them all at some point become seized, worn, or otherwise messed up. Usually had to just dig in and find out which one was tight/broken/worn, remove, clean/sand and reinstall. Yet another reason I hated those things....them and the...

My thoughts are a loose wire on the fuel stop solenoid, or the solenoid itself sticking in the "off" position a little bit....if it sticks, even a little, the engine will not inject enough fuel to start/run. Cranking the engine over creates enough vibration to "unstick" the solenoid while...

They work fine here. Sold several, never a complaint. Yet. Thing is, the 3350 uses the old style mechanical injection. Normally with a DPF system, you'd see electronic injection, making it possible (and easier from an engineering standpoint) to inject fuel into the exhaust stream, which...

G1900 I assume? Fuel system is bled at the fuel inlet. There is a bolt where the fuel line goes into the injection pump. Loosen bolt, turn key on (no need to crank), wait for the fuel to stop bubbling, then tighten-you're done at that point. If no fuel comes out there, then suspect the fuel...

Those blocks were better blocks than the gasoline 350's were. IIRC, The gas 350's had windowed mains which were junk from a performance standpoint. The diesel blocks did not have the windows and were considerably stronger....and nowadays the hardcore Pontiac engine builders will buy the diesel...

When I worked for the dealer, we knew of the issue. Kubota did not, at the time. Most likely they do now, however, and thus might be worth a call to get more info. I remember some brand new M60's that JUST came out at the time, they did it too..sitting on the transporter not even offloaded to...
