Kinda makes one wonder HOW they got it onto the trailer ? Today you'd need a crew of 12, 3-4 heavy machines and of course 2 flag people and a health/safety dude !!

When I sold my Buda 4BD-153 forklift , I gave the new buyer the case of starting fluid as it needed it. Kubota says 'Do NOT use any 'starting fluid (ether)', period. So, end of discussion. They designed the engine, they KNOW best. Heck, had a Freightliner tractor for 3-4 years for a guy. It...

please start a new thread. you've got a different model than the original poster so it'll be real EASY to get confused. in the subject , post the model number,that way it's EASY for others ,as they may have same one.

curious, tried looking for it..... kubotabooks has a Japanese manual for GB12-13-14 which may be similar ?? it might be considered a 'gray' tractor or maybe specifically sold to say Europe ? there may be a similar 'tractor for export'..... pretty sure you'll get more posts later...... Google...

re: phone pictures... there is a setting 'lock orientation' you need to enable to keep pictures as you take them..... interesting Cdn product though at 90# a face, it's a young man's install....

Heck, wait til you're 71, then 2 gallon cans area 'handful' !!!! I use 3 now....consider it 'reps at the pumps'.......once a week, more or less.

Yes, you can burn out a glow plug if powered for too long. Since day one, I've used 4 or 5 'steamboats' to preheat my BX23S, It's always started nicely. 5 years ago I changed to 5 flashes of the 4way signals, as they're always on when key is on. technically you need more glow plug time the...

Well you saved $2K on the deal, so that should (?) pay for most of the parts even if some are Kubota ??

#110 seems to be the glow plug, you need 4, about $90 CDN each. if you disconnect them, you can measure each one on low ohms. Should be about 1 ohm (WSM will say...) if ZERO...it's shorted ( unlikely though...) if NOTHING..it's open ( won't heat up), BAD, needs to be replaced. If only one is...

I think it's the design of the combustion cylinder. there's a small 'pocket' before the cylinder. I'm thinking this pocket 'amplifies' the 'ether effect' and kepow....now you need a new engine. Also you're NOT supposed to use ether and glowplugs at the same time. That's also a BIG kepow.. I'm...

I'm happy you actually made the eoffort to tear it apart..er.. carefully disassemble it.... !! Yeah, bezels take a beating until your 8th or 9th...by them you'll have some 'custom made' tools to minimize the carnage. Only takes 3 or 4 tries to make a replacement glass (or cheat, go to a glass...

an option.... If you're very, very careful you CAN unroll the 'rolled rim' and get to the 'guts'. Then fix what is busted, then reattach the bezel and crimp. Yes, you'll have a few crimp marks from your pliers but it'll be a working tach.

Smart cat !!!!! me, I watched 4 acres of corn get harvested then helped for 2 hours pouring a concrete retaining wall in drizzle between 4 and 6. No fancy 'computer' told me it gets DARK at 5 now... :(

Up here, north of the 49th, Kubota sells 'Premium UDT' . Was told it is SUDT. 1L $9 5L $42 19L $154

The other easy way to roll over, is to try cutting grass across the slope of a hill..

might search here for previous posts. I know one of 'them' is/was a nightmare, and I suspetc others have replaced the troublesome engine with something else. I remember seeing the term 'short trip' or something. you can always ask google 'subaru engine model number replacement', see what pops up.

I wasn't YELLING, just 'stressing' the fact that if he spins a locked engine with the starter it'll cost him a lot of money there is this better ?

yeesh, I've tried moving it lefty-righty 100s of times over the past 6 years and zero damage ( knock on wood). Though I don't go FULL FORCE or over 2400 RPM until ready to dig.

hmm, maybe your account with them has 'send me emails' disabled ?

re: you said, 1st... , the + cable from the solenoid is also really hot. then said NOT hot. I've attached the L235 starter drawing from 'parts'. Looks like battery +ve goes directly to it, and a small 'control' wire from key start). Since the case was 'hot', odds are you've 'smoked' the...
