    M7040 Slower than normal in higher gears

    If you are not following these instructions from the M7040 Operators manual, try doing so before staring to get into hydraulic valves etc. My 2012 M7040 is erratic if I get impatient and try to get moving. I have a block heater which I can turn on from my home. The engine starts easily if you...

    Rural water pressure from well and how to improve

    I agree my comparison was not the best but I was trying to respond to those who saw future problems. For those commenting on over heating the sub motor, there is this solution from Franklin Electric: Cooling sleeve for submersible motor pumps The heat loss generated by the...

    Rural water pressure from well and how to improve

    The installation manual suggests using a 4 gal pressure tank pressurized at 70% of what you have the subdrive sensor to. My pump is a 3/4 hp with around 7 stages. The subdrive has settings for 1/2 hp pumps Dave

    Kubota M105S

    I would just make certain you are not intending to use the creeper gears for heavy work. The ones I have seem have a strong caution against it.......... loader work, pulling, plowing, pushing. Dave

    Rural water pressure from well and how to improve

    I am surprised by the number of comments and differing opinions. I did not thinnk anyone much read this section of the forum. I certainly don't want to argue with anyone who thinks the system they currently have is as good as it should be but rather inform those who do not like what they...

    Rural water pressure from well and how to improve

    I have live in a rural area with two brothers nearby each on their own well. One brother frequently has nieces and nephews staying over and wanting to use water at same time. Because I am an old engineer I am expected to solve all family technical issues. Franklin Electrics new Sub drive...

    What is this part for?

    Typically called a Rubber Nut or WELL NUT assuming part of the fitting is not metal but rubber. As the fastener is tightened down it expand the rubber part securing it to whatever hole it is inserted into. I have seen used on Vetter motorcycle fairings, fastening glass shower door hinges to...

    2013 M7040 value

    I have a 2012 same model. Later models have better brakes but likely get emissions you don't want. I note two matters to bring to your attention. Additional rear remote would have cost more than $1,000 3 pt lift cylinder has damaged cover. I had to replace one of mine. Part number T106034812...

    M135GX Hard Starting

    Denso has publishes a series of Starter Testing steps which I will attach. If you can use a multimeter these steps will help you zero in on the bad joint(s) and cables. I will also provide the charging system tests. Dave

    L275 Not cranking hard enough

    Kubota systems typically power the glow plugs when in the key switch start position. On older systems with a Glow Indicator, the glow indicator is bypassed when key is in start position to ensure GP's get max voltage. Your L2501 key switch does the same. GP's powered in preheat and start Dave

    B7200 not starting

    I do not think his glow plugs would work if a fuse of any type in the location was blown. In my earlier post this is the wiring diagram with no main fuse I was referring to. Dave

    B7200 not starting

    Are you certain your model has a fusible link? Some wiring diagrams for B6200 dont show one others do. The fusible link will have a white plastic connector and a small loop of green wire. If you don't have or know how to use a multimeter, get a 12 volt test light. It is a great tool for...

    B7200 not starting

    Often this is what the frame end of the ground cable looks like when someone is having starter issues. The connection is tight by useless! If your cables have these repair ends time to bye new cables. Dave

    BX2822A

    Please advise the model number of your blower. I would like to look at parts illustrations. Is the pin now the length of the round shaft..... I am guessing the ends of the pin were sheared off. I would suspect something was jamming the blower fan and this pin acted like a shear pin. I often...

    Is there a way to “tune” a L4060 into a 4760?

    Another consideration after you have modified a machine is in the future should you want to trade or sell it, prospective buyers will be wary and dealers will not want it. Dave
