    Mx5100 service questions

    And additional note worth mentioning here. Doesn't really affect the MX5100, but it does affect ALL of the common rail tractors (MX5200, L3301/3901/4701, etc). Kubota has been testing fuel filters. They have determined through testing that the aftermarket filters do not filter nearly as well...

    zd326 that wont start

    Check the voltage at the smaller wire that goes to the starter solenoid. Should be more than 11v, with the key turned to start, operator in the seat, both control levers out, pto off, and brake on (and all those switches working properly)-- and the wire still connected to the starter. Low...

    M7040 SUHD - Glow plugs

    Yes it's got glow plugs. They work automatically, or at least that's how they're supposed to work. ECU detects coolant temperature from the coolant temp sensor which is located on the thermostat housing. If coolant temp is above (IIRC) 32 degrees F, glow plugs do not activate-only the grid...

    Hydraulic pump adjustment

    What is your current hydraulic pressure? You need to know this before doing anything else. Simply turning the pressure up does nothing (and usually does more harm than good) if there is a component problem elsewhere....... Little story. Guy brought me a tractor years ago, MX5000 if I...

    2011 RTV 500 Low Compression

    Don't need to scope it, just check valve clearance. If one or more valves are really loose, they're bent, thus the head needs to come off regardless. I don't remember if it was an interference or non-interference engine. Be the first one I've seen with a broken timing belt, if in fact it's...

    help: convert 220v 3prong plug too two 110v outlets?

    Anyone who inspected the house and found a 220v single phase circuit split into a pair of 110v circuits in this way would not approve of it, which could cause you some issue if you went to sell it. Neutral and Ground are not to be considered "the same" even though they may be connected to one...

    Dealer Issue

    The 3 point hitch normally sits outside with the rest of the tractor, in the rain, snow, ice, wind, tornado, flood, hurricane, typhoon, sunshine, etc. Sitting in the bucket with water in it ain't gonna hurt it. If it does, so would rain or snow, or especially in the salt belt, the salted road...

    L2800 oil leak, seal replacement

    You need to call the dealer to verify, but I "THINK" It's TC220-99680.

    L2800 oil leak, seal replacement

    Yes just threads in but there's no o-ring. Just a rubber washer of sorts. There was a "kit" that replaced the glass with a dip stick, but it wasn't cheap. The trans cover is different and there are a few other parts that go with it, but I like it better than the sight glass. Personal...

    L2800 oil leak, seal replacement

    You don't reckon the sight glass is leaking do you? I've never seen that seal leak, but I've seen a few dozen sight glasses leak oil, which is above that area, and looks exactly like what I see in the picture.

    T1400 loss of power

    No, that's square two. Square one is teaching the "tech" that looking at things objectively is the only way to be a "tech". You know, I'm guilty of doing just that from time to time, just getting in a hurry, and though I may not like it, I do appreciate when the customer tells me I'm full of...

    T1400 loss of power

    Almost sounds like the throttle linkage isn't reaching "full throttle". Might look into adjusting the throttle cable. If that's working ok, you really need a tachometer to check the governed no-load engine speed, which should be 3500 +/- 50. I like them on the higher side, closer to 3600...

    12 volt drain on my ZD28F

    Kinda long but bear with me. First thing's first. 78% charge means nothing. You're looking for 12.8v or higher at the battery with no load on it (disconnected). You can load test it too, using the starter. Hook the cables back up, put your digital volt meter on the battery and have someone...

    ECHO chainsaws

    Did some logging for a little while. I just drove the trucks mostly. The saws were always Stihl. Sometimes a greenhorn would bring in his Husqvarna and thought it was the baddest and best, wrong. Always fiddling with it, and not uncommon for them to be broken. My boss had one as well as a...

    Illinois-Deer Hunting Trip

    Used to live in the midwest. The ONE thing I miss about the midwest was the deer. I used to hunt with my grandpa when I was younger; he always shot his limit every year. It was not uncommon to kill a ~300 lb buck. Them corn fed deer get big.

    Kioti with Kubota engine clutch vibration

    I normally don't get involved with these Kioti's (gray markets), but did you check for a pilot bearing/bushing? Is it the correct size for the transmission input shaft? Is the crankshaft's depth the same, in that is the transmission input shaft going all the way into the pilot bearing/bushing...
