    flat (book) rate service

    Flat rate. Techs hate it, Techs love it. It can be both loved and hated. First off, nobody that I know of, at kubota dealers, is required to use flat rate, except in the case of warranty repairs. That is the only time it's required with Kubota (and a lot of other manufacturers as well-but...

    LandGlide app

    yes GPS is often off a little in the case of my iphone, i used it to find certain underwater structures. I had them marked on GPS when I found them in the late fall a few years ago when the lake was low. As the lake refilled, they disappeared from view (10 feet+ underwater0 but they still...

    Price Check - Mower Blades. Then and Now.

    Within $1 of OEM blades. (K5617-34330). $21.03 ea at coleman's. Glad I stocked up on them, also glad I don't use them up very often. A set lasts me several seasons (usually).

    Who else buys tools/things for the explicit reason of "Because it's too cheap to pass up"?

    i find stuff all the time that I want. Usually can't afford to buy it even if it's "cheap"

    Pump for 5 gallon hydraulic fluid cans. Anyone recommend one.

    set the bucket on the fender, and siphon it into the tractor with a hose. I used a piece of leftover garden hose (5/8) which barely fits in the fill hole of most of the L series, which is predominantly what I did.

    Stucchi Couplers for SVL95-2S

    one thing worth mentioning, from kubota-for you SVL guys if you run a mulcher, you NEED an aux hyd oil cooler. Even with the cooler your hydraulic system service intervals are cut in half. If it says change fluid at 500 hours, do it around 250. Without a cooler it just hurts parts. Don't...

    Covid's Back

    covid never went anywhere. It didn't just go away, and it is not going to anytime soon. IMO, the only reason we ain't been hearin much about it is because the media didn't play it up like they did in 2020/2021.

    L4310 F Voltage Regulator

    OEM parts cost more than chinese aftermarket parts. So you get on amazon and search for a L4310 alternator, you'll find a bunch of imported and inferior alternators for $80 or whatever they are. Attractive price isn't it? I have used a few on different projects and I've had a few of them...

    How do you find a TSB

    Unless it's safety related recall, it'll be hard to find it shared anywhere online. "We" (former dealer) were instructed to not share the bulletins and such unless it was safety-related. That may have changed since 2020 when I got out. They said "confidential and proprietary". it would be...

    Covid's Back

    had it 3 times-so far. First time, not much to it. Second time, worst Ive felt in my life-and I've been "dead" once, so that's saying something. (got CO poisoning, pretty much dead at hospital but obviously didn't really). Third time I didn't even know it. Runny nose, barely, but that's it...

    Backhoe bleed down (BX23S)

    Then why when we completely isolate the cylinder, does it still leak down at the same rate?

    Kubota refuses to honor my 5 Year Emissions Warranty on my B3350

    it's my understanding that the reformer system isn't the dpf, rather the type system that controls the fuel injection AND with that, also controls how and when the dpf regenerates. B3350's are basically a mechanically injected diesel engine (the old style) but they have like a blower and an...

    Backhoe bleed down (BX23S)

    according to some of my customers, that fluid must teleport to an unknown dimension or something that's where I was going, regardless of how technical it is. 99% of the leakdowns of loaders and backhoes are cylinder related and not so much valve related in my experience. The few that had...

    ZD21 not charging

    unplug the regulator. 1: Test the 2 wires from the generator. Should be about 20v or more at idle (AC voltage). If ok, move on to #2. If not ok, check the wiring harness integrity. and/or the generator output (output from the generator at the two wires should be pretty high--minimum of 20v...

    Getting Old and Back Issues

    good timing. had an episode Thursday. Leaving work, got in the car, back started hurting. I got home and parked in the garage, like every day. Went to get out of the car, uhh, NOPE. I fell out. Back hurt so bad that I couldn't move without hurting. Laid on the floor half under the car...

    TSA and the art of misinformation.

    My ex-gf, or should I say ex fiance, was a TSA agent at the airport. like the rest of the ABC agencies, their rules have some really dumb things built into them. So, no it doesn't surprise me. You should've heard some of the stuff she talked about, some of the things that aren't on "the list"...

    Only on Amazon

    yes and today is 9/2/24. On this day in 1944, George H.W. Bush was shot down near the Bonin Island of Chichi Jima. A lot of folks didn't know he was in the Navy, nor did they know he was a pilot and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. If you guys and gals is ever in the area, make...
