You need to get some of those plastic totes with lids or something to keep all of your parts in. If not, you will spend half your time looking for them.

See RED comments above. Drain the oil and look for contamination or foreign matter. Pressure test the cooling system. Do a compression test. Run the engine and look for unusual smoke, knocks, rattles, etc. and go from there. But if you really want to be sure, do a complete teardown and...

That journal looks very bad to me. I don't recall seeing the bearings from that rod in the pics. Why not remove another rod cap and look at the bearing and the journal so you have something to compare it to? The debris in the oil pan is a good indication that engine has to come out and be...

That's great!

I looked in my shop manual and it wasn't much help. They don't have a circuit schematic that I have found. Looking at the exploded view, I can't tell what plug the oil is coming out of that you are talking about. Long shot - have you changed the oil recently and used a product that is too thin...

My front link crossbar is worn probably about 3/16" where it attaches to the mower. That explains why I had to raise the front wheels to the next position. Next time I bring it home, I will get the tolerances tightened up on the front link. This mower has been a long project just to bring it...

I took it to the farm this morning and picked up the landowner's old Exmark for service and repair. My better half mowed about three acres with the G1800 and has no complaints. That's a win in my book.

I moved the rollers up to the middle set of holes and now I have a bit of ground clearance. The front link is supporting the weight as it should.

My front link is very close to spec. 15.3" is spec, and I read 15.25" + with a tape measure.

I was given this machine last fall and spent all winter going through it mechanically. I purchased an operator's manual and a shop manual for it to help me figure everything out. My better half wanted the deck raised for 3-1/2" to 4" cutting height, so I have done that exactly as the shop...

I doubt I have ever started a thread here, always been able to find the answer or suggestion I was looking for. Now I have four pieces of Kubota equipment, three of which are old, to service and maintain. I may have to start posting some.

I just ran the engine for a few minutes and one line off the hydraulic pump goes to a spin-on filter. Both the line and the filter were slightly warm after a few minutes of idling. The filter is the same color as the rest of the undercarriage, which makes me think it has never been changed.

Thanks for the info. I found the pump at least. Why would all hydraulics just quit like that? Engine and everything else is working fine.

New to the forum and new to this tractor. It doesn't belong to me, just trying to help a farmer buddy out. Only backstory I have is he bought it new in early 2000's. He was backfilling a trench and all of a sudden, he had no hydraulics. The bucket or the 3 point hitch will not do anything. No...
