Hello Joe, sometimes hard hits with a hammer are better than 30 tons force from a press. But you need a round mandril that makes contact all around the bushing. Same applies to the rod, otherwise you damage them. I got ball joints out of wishbones on a van this way that would not budge in the...

Hello, I am looking for a faulty Kubota combination box, part number 66101-55920. I need the housing, cable and connectors. The electronics inside can be toast, does not matter. It is used in the G1700, G1800, G1900 and T1600 lawn tractors and I think some others too. Kind regards, Hugo

Hello Lugbolt, great, thank you very much for clarifying how the belt being replaced ! Will check the drive shaft then too. Kind regards, Hugo

Hello, after trying my "new" G1900 (cut the grass at an unbelievable speed, delighted) it packed in with a burst water hose after just 10 minutes. Problems were expected and this is a different story anyway. I want to replace the paper thin fan belt. It is around the transmission drive shaft...

Hello Jim, Lugbolt, I agree with your view of pictures on web sites and to replace the link. The starter current is not going over the link, only everything else including pre glow current. I will measure the worst case current and select a suitable fuse. Various fuse parameters are...

Hello Jim, thank you for the explanation! The colour from the Messicks web site shows green. Would you know the rating of that? Otherwise I could measure the current and together with the wire cross section have an educated guess. I will put in a normal fuse; I am not very fond of open wires...

Rewiring everything may be an option at a later stage. All those connectors are a potential source of trouble. And the number of cables is not that high. But wires are very time consuming in my experience and the mechanics are more urgent right now.

The question is if "fusible" means "acts as a fuse" or "link that can be replaced by a fuse". I never understood why vehicle manufacturers routed long cables from the battery through half the vehicle before a fuse box appears. In my humble opinion the fuse box should be right by the battery.

Thank you for the hint with the Messicks website. So it is basically a piece of wire. I do not really see the purpose of this device.

Definitely a good idea, will do that on mine too. The cable insulation was chafed through in one place already and this is an unfused cable directly from the battery.

Hi, thank you very much, I can see now where the cable is routed. The strange thing is though I do not think there was space alongside the engine mount on mine, because this would have been the obvious place. But sometimes you do not see the obvious. Have to look again on Wednesday when I...

Hello, the battery cable on my G1900 is not routed correctly and I could not figure out how to route it from the starter to the battery avoiding sharp corners on the frame, the PTO pulley, the front axle and the hot exhaust. Also the fusible link seems to be missing. Could somebody please post...

Soooo.... today I spent all day trying to fix the electrics so that I can drive it on a trailer to bring it home. The starter won't work. So I checked the usual switches and found the brake switch faulty. Shorting that did not change anything. It seems all switch signals are going to the...

Hi 22R, thank you very much for your offer. I'd say it is likely that I will take you up on it. I have not had much time working on it but I got it running by short wiring the starter and it drives and it cuts the grass. The starter switch should arrive today, so hopefully I can tackle the...

Hi all, I was finally able to obtain the elusive G1900 operators manual from my local Kubota dealer. The obvious is sometimes difficult to see :oops: Thank you very much for your help and considering the condition and the hours on this machine it is highly likely that I will be back with...

Hi all, it seems I was celebrating too early. 1 to 1.5 months delivery time and kubotausa.com says "not available". The search continues. Kind regards, Hugo

Hello Ktrim, great, thank you very much, appreciated, really! I came across Messick's looking for spare parts but it never dawned to me that they have the manual! Will order ot straight away. Strangely enough their web site does not come up in an internet search, even using the right...

Hello Ktrim, I read here in the forum before and I've been to kubotabooks (and lots of other web sites). The files in the mower section are parts lists. Or am I looking in the wrong section? Kind regards, Hugo

Hello, I just registered on this forum. I will get a G1900 end of the week in pretty poor condition and huge hours on the clock and I plan to repair it and use it as the manufacturer intended. I found plenty of workshop manuals and spare parts lists on the internet but what I cannot find is a...
