    Backhoe bleed down (BX23S)

    bleed down overnight isn't unusual. The cylinder has a piston inside of it. The piston is not a perfect seal and fluid will leak past the seals even while not using. The amount of leakage is usually minimal-but those cylinders are small and don't have much volume, so a little leakage results...

    Fair Prices

    one of the attacked was my brother, outside the fairgrounds. Pitty got loose and for whatever reason decided to chew part of his scalp off.

    Wet skid steer

    I may be wrong, going off of memory but I "think" flat rate for engine was 33 hours.

    Who has the oldest Kubota on this site?

    not I. Although I had to play with a bunch of the antiques while working for the dealer. Never fun either, trying to locate obsolete parts and such, and then having to explain to Mr. Customer that his equipment was too old for us to efficiently repair.

    Only on Amazon

    that's kind of like kubota service manuals. Translated from japanese to english (Jinglish) and during the translation, sometimes info it lost.

    L3940 Fuel Sensor

    fuel level sensors were a sore subject with me when I was working at the dealer. They'd ship the tractors on a boat, around saltwater (obviously), then they'd sit at port for a while, then on a truck to a distribution hub, then from the hub to a dealer. Then sit in a crate, outside, at the...

    Added Hand pump to oem zexel lift pump GL6060

    it's got an electric lift pump which I find to be easier to just turn the key on, than to fiddle with a hand pump. But that's just me. What if the battery goes dead? It won't start anyway. What if the pump quits? It won't start anyway.

    G1800 water pump removal

    Pretty sure we couldn't get them out at the shop without removing the engine, which is a 30 minute job. Crossmember in the way as I remember. I've had about a dozen of them over the years. I just pull the motor out, gives me a good reason to give the mower a good cleaning in the area as well...

    Fair Prices

    Right about that, same in this county. The social scum comes from the Little Rock area, I guess too dangerous for them there or maybe they're bored with that area, so they bring it here.

    G1900 fan belt replacement

    there's a coupling on the engine pulley, 3 bolts hold it on. 12mm as I remember. Remove the 3 bolts, slide the triangle shaped coupling back, then proceed to replace fan belt. Check the u-joints on the drive shaft and check the coupling for excessive "slop"-as both will cause vibration. If...

    trailer

    18 to 20 foot you keep going longer, it gets harder to maneuver around in tighter areas, IMO also have to look at the vehicle pulling it. Once you start getting to 22-24-26 foot, the trailer gets bigger and heavier, and with a load on it you WILL want a 3/4 ton. Minimum. Can your toyota...

    Zero Turn won't reach full RPM and randomly accelerates to normal RPM

    many folks can't "hear" a dead miss....a trained ear can hear it just fine, but many who aren't, can't. Runs on one cylinder, sounds perfectly fine to a lot of folks. governors and linkages on the kohlers have never been problematic. to my knowledge or in my experience-unless someone has...

    G1800 water pump removal

    take the engine off so it can be done properly. A LOT easier!! address the drive shaft coupling/yoke and u-joints if needed while the engine is off too; also a lot easier with it off than trying to do it otherwise.

    green algae in pond

    sure hope so. I moved here in 1989 and dad and I used to fish Lake Stumpy pretty often, and we always did well-once we found the fish. As time went on, it was getting MUCH harder to find the fish, for one reason lillies, and second the lake is/was silting in and the once deeper (6 foot+) water...

    Is the diesel tank metal or stainless steel?

    you can polish mild steel and it looks just like that. But it still rusts, just like that one did.

From there they can give you ideas that will work alongside the the goal of the pond, be it a livestock water source or fishing pond or whatever. And it's free here too, no...

    l5030 tractor rear cab glass

    ain't too much out there in the aftermarket for kubota stuff in general. Pretty much nothing to my knowledge for cab glass. OEM or used is your only option, that or maybe you can get someone to cu$tom make you one used market? Glass is one of the most commonly damaged tractor parts which...
