Yep very efficient idea but I hope you shut her down before the stand pipe sucked air or you cavitated the pump. :rolleyes: That's why the hydraulic designers alway mount the reservoir above or level with case drain. Now we know a Gator did bite the suction screen. :D Welcome to the Forum ;)

Post a picture please :) couldn't be more than a bezel with internal threading but I'm not sure because I don't have a work shop manual ( WSM ) available tonight. :o

I think a Gator bit it (LOL) :D:D:D

If the battery is weak simply replace it and take the ignition switch out of the mix by using a push button remote starter across the solenoid and the heavy battery terminal cable and crank ( be prepared for it to start ) If no crank suspect the solenoid for being shorted internally if you have...

figjam I take it you are not the original owner?

Good Job electrically and I agree with Ed on the ROPS, you have put the monkey on your back modifying the structure

Firemetic welcome aboard and this is a very interesting problem. I call it diesel run away :mad: and you are quite right it will run until the lube oil can't keep up with rpm or the overspeeding bends a valve train component or worse throws a rod through the block. A diesel is like the fire...

Right on RDR :) this is a cheap starting point and will lead to the ultimate problem as you dig deeper. Dye and black lights aren't cheap if you don't own one. I use mine for A/C work more than any other purpose but they are great in a pinch when time is if the essence to locate coolant leaks. ;)

Mr John you are absolutely correct ;) with this observation " Steady @12.8 volts so I opened the throttle to about 3/4 and noticed the volt meter read 12.9 volts so I let her run a while at 3/4 throttle and watched the voltmeter it slowly climbed 12.9 wait a full minute 13.0, wait another...

Joe good gully :( if you can get Dusty over to your garage he can help point the fingers to why this shaft is still turning with the clutch petal clear to the end of its travel with the correct factory setting and absolutely Kubota didn't design it that way that's why I keep saying the clutch...

daniel welcome and please get the WSM. If I had one I'd shoot you the DT section on the front diff. You sound like this isn't your first rodeo and for sure you will be pressing the pinion bearing into the case or on to the shaft of the pinion gear, so you will need a press, portal power or some...

Welcome K -L275 and if its pouring in let's hope its just a block expansion plug because that won't be that hard to fix but will require a tear down. Here is a thought that will help locate the leak, crack, wherever it's coming from is to add dye to the mixture and use a black light to trace the...

Welcome jb to the forum. I was hoping someone had the specific P/N but as aging as this post goes, I will try to at least give you a positive direction to pursue. Without a WSM ( Work Shop Manual ) available you will have to do it the old fashioned way by removing the started from the clutch...

Ed sorry your upset with OB1 but Dealer's cannot offically use Kubota's name for unauthorized modifications to any component on an established model tractor without first having the Engineering Manager review the modification and agree to the liabilty of said modication. I have found this to be...

Lets review your steps above now that we have definitely established that you only have a single disc clutch with one single adjustment. 1. Clutch is out of adjustment and still making light pressure contact ( slipping) with flywheel. 2. You have proven to yourself this is happening by...

:) botaman like that name and welcome aboard! :D The quality of your how to technical report may be put over in the article section as a how to rebuild. Your dedication to detail is excellent and is welcome here! ;) I'm sure the rest of our membership and vistors will find it informative as well. :D

Mark I like your idea about running an independent circuit to the rear of the tractor with dual lights controlled with a toggle switch. If you need a schematic or want to use a relay let me know...:)

:p Joe after looking at those Utube videos OB1 afraid you come to ALABAMA and kick his A... if he tell you something wrong about you tractor. :rolleyes: Take your clutch housing ispection plate off and look in there with a bright light and telescopic mirror or a bore scope if you can get one...

Welcome flowerlvr... Picking up on this problem without your electrical schematic will be alittle more difficult than normal so be patient with me.:) Your battery start circuit should see battery voltage at the hot side of the ignition switch. If you are seeing a drop of 2.5 volts and the...
