If you're getting fuel smoke, you've got 1/3 of the equasion (need fuel, air and compression to run). So focus on air and compression... could also be a glow plug issue.

Check the OPC switch and it's wirings. OPC=operator presence control (seat switch).

Fuel quality.... I believe, based on what our customers have been bringing us, that ethanol is not the big blame for quickly staled fuel, as everyone seems to think. Many, many times over the last few years I've heard that "I've been using non-ethanol fuel, so why does this...

T6 is what, $30/gallon? I think that's what it is, or was last time I bought some (November 2015) when I did the oil change in my truck. $140 with tax for an oil change. Normally I use Kubota 15w40 in it, and it runs perfect with it all year long. Winter time sometimes I'll try T6 just...

My brother had a smaller one, built in the late 80's. Had a loader on it. I spent some time trying to figure it out. Air cooled big twin cylinder diesel. The most backward engineered pile of steaming feces I've ever laid my eyes upon. Easy to work on? Not really..not any easier than any of...

I have a wiring haness, complete (main harness) that came from a salvaged L3301HST tractor. Nothing wrong with it. I personally removed the harness about a year or so ago. It would be more useful to someone who needs one than it does to me. Asking $450 shipped (includes insurance and...

There was a TSB on this issue. If one was to mention this when calling the divisional customer service line, I wonder if there would be some help? Maybe even if they just helped (not full repair cost), it would help change your confidence in Kubota? Sometimes the dealers are busy and don't...

Yes...for whatever reason, the T series Kohler's seem to be more sensitive to fuel quality. One of my customers hates his T2080 for this exact reason. Good mower-as long as the fuel isn't staled. Start it once a week during the winter, just start it, run it for a minute or so, shut it...

a direct quote from the Kubota Central division service manager: "GST transmissions should use Super UDT2, and Super UDT2 ONLY-and Kubota recommends nothing else but Super UDT2 for the GST's". Expensive it is. But so is having to split the tractor to replace the GST clutch pack. Been there...

yes they fail sometimes. Kubota at one time had a bulletin out for something similar...might try to call/ask the dealer about it.

You might have to adjust your driving style.

Not really. Kubota isn't known for rear main seal leaks. Only ones I ever seen were on the ZD326 and ZD331, neither of which are we discussing here. Been into a lot of 3130's and other grand L's but never had a rear crank seal leak, never. Bout everything else leaked inside the bellhousing...

I hate working on B series tractors, for this reason. Everything is like a puzzle. Getting the 4x4 shaft completely out of the tractor is a royal pain in the back side. There is a roll pin at the HST, shaft will not come off without removal of the roll pin, roll pin inaccessible for the most...

Follow the throttle lever down below the dash. You will usually find a pair of jam juts. Loosen the jam nut and tighten the other against the washers a little at a time until the lever stays put, then jam the other nut against it.

Adjust it.

I have never done one. But welcome to the world of Kubota's instruction sheets. They're all like that. Written in Japanenglish, or we call it Jinglish.

I can do them in 60 minutes tops. Pull the engine, it's a lot easier and it's the correct way to do it. The engine comes off really easy. 4 nuts, a few hoses, clamps, drain the water and you're ready. Or cut it in half, then find a sleeve, weld it. But keep in mind the speed of the shaft...

just shimming or adjusting the relief to solve the issue is the wrong way to do it, IMO. Need to find out why the psi is low.

Kubota engine gaskets are designed to go on with nothing but a clean, dry, flat surface-and nothing more. Sealants-even Copper Coat, have been known to develop issues in the long run, in my own experience. The shim is also used to set the clearance between the piston and the head. Some of...

If you have insurance, many times the insurance company will cover it. Especially Kubota's insurance.
