depends on the engine and i didn't see which engine is in question some engines when the machinest "decks" the block, the pump mounting face is also reduced which affects injection timing. Other engines don't have that issue. back to original question. IIRC the service manuals show how far...

the change in part number could be anything, it may be that they changed a sticker on the transmission, the color it's painted, the casting, the vendor that Kubota buys it from, or maybe it's a redesign internally? Who knows? Kubota is a huge global company and when they realize there's a...

you can replace it, its about $200 with shipping. Problem is, your hourmeter is part of the tach so the hour meter will then show zero hours-which, if I were a seller, would generate some questions. Or, leave the old one in it and give the buyer the option to buy the tractor as-is and knock...

can't speculate on german but when I was doing more racing, weight was a BIG deal. Lighter cars are safer cars also allows one to move ballast around to maintain minimum weight yet the ballast could be used to 'adjust' the car's characteristics. During weight-conscious car building we found...

Found it.

I might have one....I'll go dig around in the stash and see.

that is a characteristic of most small dealers and why it's so important to support them.

WSM=work shop manual pistons have a spec as to how far in our out of the cylinder they protrude or recess. I do not remember on your engine what that spec is. Been far too long since i've had to go into one of those and my memory is going away these days too.

follow the plus cord (aka positive battery cable) from the battery and back. Just near the battery, you'll find, IIRC a black plastic connector where the positive cable splits off--one end goes to the starter, the other end 'feeds' the rest of the electrical system. That connector is notorious...

On mine I chucked each wheel in the lathe and cut a recess in them, then put a seal in. That was, gosh, 2009 I think? They are still tighter than two coats of paint. The deck is rusted out but the wheels is still in great shape. I sold the mower to a friend in 2015 but I still service it...

a lot of dealers put more focus on sales than anything else. When you walk in and say "I want a new tractor", the sales guys will swarm you like stink on you know what. But if you need service? They avoid you. Ask ourselves why that is. I did a job (at a dealer) that required a lot of...

squirt some lube on the spring. Drench it. WD40, doesn't matter. Then work the lever back & forth a few times with the engine OFF. It should free right up.

pull the head and look. Also measure each piston as to how far out of the cylinder it is-they should all be the same, and it needs to be per the WSM's specification. I suspect that there may be more going on based on the comments, and I'm not going to say "what" because half of the readers...

060 is the housing itself. Do you mean 100, which I call the "kingpin seal"?

every one of them I've been on does that. Especially if it sits for a week or two between uses. The cloud they give off when pulling a new mower off of the crate was slightly embarassing--so much so that I made sure to do a lot of checks on the mowers, before starting the engine-if the...

about like doing a Polaris Ranger rear carrier bearing. Not terribly bad. Get new knuckle bushings as they often are worn/loose.

those books are rarely 100% correct. One of many things I griped about to the "reps". The downside to japanese (or any really any larger company) is that when you have a legitimate gripe, they listen but it takes FOREVER for a change to get made. I can think of a one exception OTOH and that...

you don't remove main bearing caps on kubota engines (well most of them). You remove the engine and pull the crank out of the back of the block-adds labor cost which KTAC may or may not be willing to pay. You can pull rod caps in-frame though. But they don't always tell the whole story and...

yes polaris had some issues with heat rejection back in the day. They've gotten most of that taken care of now, with better engineering. Thank goodness. ceramic does help but it helps more when used in conjunction with the wrap. However the metal will fatigue and just rot even with ceramic...

I'm assuming it's an M9540? Under the floor plate is a harness. That harness often corrodes and the symptom can be exactly what you describe. also battery cable connections will cause exactly what you describe. Those cable clamp things are notorious for this-they dont provide a very good...
