I'm busted! The older 706 & 656 IH's w/the D282 had both but you're right the remainder of the IH & Deere engines with factory ether kits didn't have glow plugs.

BX 1860 has it right - Has nothing to do with the engine having glow plugs, has been used on Case, Deere & IH engines with glow plug systems for decades (even factory equipment in some cases) without problem. It is however a big problem in engines with pre-combustion chambers in part because of...

6:45 am this morning! "obligation"? AMEN!

"That’s good man I’m glad you like them, keep in mind that these aren’t turf tires.. they are still a lug tire. The reason for me making this thread was to tell people how much better for your lawn they are than a traditional industrial or AG style tire.. because they are much easier on the lawn...

I think I was the second "tractor pulling guy" noted earlier. Radial or bias ply really makes no difference. Pound for pound a properly ballasted tractor with iron weights will always out-perform in-tire liquid ballast. Just the way it is in testing and in life. BUT... one can't always afford to...

I just put a set of the wt300's on a Simplicity Legacy, They are a nice tire, nice square profile, and can be had cheap if you find them on sale. That being said, they're not quite as "turf friendly" as billed. With the automatic traction control diff in the Legacy they scuff the turf plenty...

Yeah, having the pump on mine made no difference. My M4500 cranks pretty well - WalMart Everstart 29DC (just fits height wise, have to be careful which way cable clamps are turned!)

My pump was mounted to a bracket attached to the wrap-around weight.

Kubota Newbie - checking my understanding here - does this mean that your aux double spool control valve is fed off the factory pump on the side of the engine? Presumably means you use that pump to either work the loader, or work other attachments. Thank you. Yes, That's correct, factory pump...

Yeah, When I bought my M4500 it had a Bomford mid-mount flail mower on it and the pump was attached to the front of the engine. It was direct drive as noted. I run my loader off the factory pump but I have an aux double spool control valve plumbed into the supply that goes back the side of the...

Just make sure that whatever you do the plug/pin/epoxy/weld... whatever, is ground down a tad below the liner surface. A little dimple in one spot won't hurt anything, but if it sticks up, even just .001, you'll be replacing the piston too.

If you can get at the bottom to grind off the excess inside the cyl. see if your local cyl. head repair shop will put a head repair pin in it. The repair pins for head cracks are actually fine thread tapered screws, takes a special tap, which they'll have.. They are also made of cast iron so the...

Not on that tractor but others. Usually 'cause detent not fully engaged. Either because of miss-adjustment or because detent notch not milled in the right place. Sometimes the fork can be moved slightly on the slider rod to get better engagement.

When setting valves it says to use that hole and align the "TC" mark on the flywheel in that hole.

Well, My WSM shows a picture checking it at the starter hole, but... There is also a round check hole on the right side of the tractor about 4 inches in front of the bell housing port (the square cover, right side). The check hole looks to be about 1 inch in diameter, has a tear-dropped shaped...

So on my old cadet one of the best things I ever did to the deck (chute was part of the deck shell) was cut the chute off. No...I didn't just leave it off, I welded a hinge on it so I could flip it up for additional clearance or where I wanted it to spread tall clippings better. You already...

It was his baby, and he rode it HARD...he said that's how they sound... The desmo motors have a sound all their own, like a menacing "growl" that you can pick out coming down the road. The rattle from the dry clutches is just part of the unique company image. Wouldn't mind owning one... but...

So..... I don't know what material you're spraying but.... Nozzles wear out, some of them really fast, which significantly changes the rate/acre. You should calibrate annually (maybe more if you farm a lot). The nozzle should be replaced if the output is more than 10% over the catalog...

Yes the chart (in my OM anyway) does spec tire size, which for the M4500 is 14.9-28. I've got M5500 rubber on my M4500 (16.9-28) which is slightly taller as well so I run a tad faster than the chart, but not really by much. You should really calibrate your sprayer by catching the nozzle output...

So if it were mine I'd just fix that one. But I'm pretty handy. I wouldn't be afraid to put a steel spacer sleeve in the front main and live with it. (but I also have access to a shop where I could do it myself). Should first see if Kubota offers an "oversize" front bearing shell that would...
