A stump vice and a Pferd filing guide. I think the Stihl guide is an orange Pferd guide.

When installing your own "utilities", tracer line is cheap and easy.

That should do it :)

It's alive! Took the shuttle shifter assembly to the dealership for repair. Put it back in and then wrestled the two halves of the tractor back together. Finally got the last of the hoses, cables, connecting rods and wires back where they belong. FEL sub frame back in place (those things are...

I hate trying to lube cables with a spray can... I find Tri-flow works very well on cables.

Thanks for that. So far the best match I have been able to find locally is Jet-Lube 550-Extreme.

Try to find a cross reference for Three Bond products, but the all knowing Google has failed me. I have found a cross reference for Loctite/Permatex, but nothing for Three Bond. Specifically, the WSM calls for Three Bond 1901 for the splines on the clutch boss. I'm guessing a Moly grease like...

The 'boulder' and other 'debris' is actually a fine powder that is packed around the clutch housing and falls off in clumps. My guess is ghost of clutch plates past. Thanks for the input... I didn't really want to buy a new flywheel. :)

I have my M6800 split to deal with a shuttle shifter issue. Figured that since I was in the neighbourhood I might as well inspect the clutch. Should I be worried about these small cracks in the flywheel?

Shuttle assembly is out and I found these rattling around in the bottom... that can't be good.

Got it! I went and had a look at the online parts catalogue, it has nice exploded diagram of everything. And I found two studs that go right through the fly wheel housing and into the clutch housing. I had looked at those yesterday and thought "naught to do with the clutch housing." Now I know...

I am trying to split the tractor and I'm stumped. I have everything supported and the bolts out, but it will not come apart. With the application of leverage, I can get some separation at the top (enough to slide a putty knife into the gap), but as soon as I release the leverage the gap closes...

Sorry for the late reply, I'm splitting my time between two locations and too many projects. The linkage all move freely and the rod length is correct. I disconnected the rod and tried shifting by hand, can shift to reverse, but not forward. Strictly from the specifications section of the...

OK, got a pressure gauge and did some crawling around under the tractor. The suction line looks undamaged, so I don't think it is drawing air into the system there. The pressure at all 6 couplers (4 for FEL and two rear remote) was around 2,300-2,350 psi. After doing more reading, I don't...

Thanks guys. After futzing around with the joy stick lock, I discovered the joy stick needs to be pushed a fair bit forward of the natural resting position before the lock will engage. Thunder Chicken is correct, there is an ALO plate on the inside of the left arm. Unfortunately the info on the...

Unless someone at Kubota put the wrong decal on it, I'm sure.

I will investigate that, thanks. Just to be clear, the loader will lower fully if the tractor is running; it is only if the tractor is off and I'm lowering the loader with gravity that it stops short. Synchro (according to WSM) 7 (glad I checked, I would have sworn it was 6) Great idea...

I bought an M6800 with a M920 front end loader at auction last year. A couple things have me stumped. First up is this switch on the joy stick for the loader. Based on the pictogram I would have thought it is a lock out for the joy stick, but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything. Next...

Last summer I bought a M6800 w/ M920 loader at auction. When I got it home, I noticed that the hydraulics were flaky. When it warmed up, the loader didn't have the power to lift the front wheels off the ground and the power steering would stop working. I was planning to change all the fluids...
