I have to admit when I first noticed this thread it caught my eye because I thought it said "replacement for hair" which in my case was more relevant and seemed more interesting than the eventual discovery that it was about replacing "air" which I get for free in great abundance and need only...

Isn't it a through bolt (head and nut ends both exposed)? If so and it doesn't want to come loose just cut it off and get a new metric bolt to put in it. The solution for the broken stud If it is a screw in like my M4500 is to take a nut a size bigger than the bolt shank and lay over it and weld...

If you look close at his wedges in the photo they look decent. BUT, they are bottomed out against each other in the picture. If the wear is enough in the hub that they will not tighten enough to lock things down really good without bottoming out against each other then I would consider just...

I could be wrong... but it seems to me the shutoff solenoid probably only gets power in the "run" position. If it drew current in the "stop" position it would drain the battery. Doesn't that have an external solenoid and linkage? Can you shut it off by manually moving the shutoff arm to the stop...

Likely fuel/injector pump shutoff solenoid. Probably $50-70 depending on where you get it.

The adapter is a pretty nifty way to go at the problem. Do they recommend any sealant when you drive it in? They still look like pretty small frost plugs to me. 'Course I'm used to looking at stuff more in line with a small block chevy or DT series IH. Those are considerably bigger than 1.25 and...

Maybe if you could find a heater that size but I've never seen one for core plugs that small. The petcock is threaded, if Kubota sells a threaded heater for the M4500 it's likely the same thread just take the petcock out and replace with the heater. Little bit of Teflon tape and you should be...

Your pic is in the last post. Good Luck

The port is hidden a little by the oil filter. I have a bypass hose attached to mine that used to supply the cab heat.

I've got a WSM. There is no mention and no picture of the threaded port on my S2600 engine in the manual, but it's there just the same. If I get a chance later today I'll take a picture.

Freeze plugs on both sides of block on my M4500 but they're too small (1 inch +/-) for any heater's I've ever seen. There is a threaded port to the coolant passage on the right side of the block at the bottom front side of the injector pump casting area (faces straight out to the side). From...

Yep, $700 is a deal (or was that steal, belonged to a little old widow lady right?). Will diesel go bad? I suppose, but it takes a loooong time. When I bought my M4500 a few years ago it had sat in one place for 5 years and not been started or moved. We put a battery in it, heated the glow...

RCW, yeah right now probably close on wood pellets but no contest with corn. Price per 1,000,000 BTU Corn @ 3.50 bu - $7.81 Pellets at 4.89/bag - $15.28 @ $180/ton - 11.25 LP @ $1.40 - $15.40 (could do better if you pre-buy, maybe 1.25/gal so $13.75 MBTU) Oil (#2) @ $2.39/gal (Ohio Price) $16.96...

Ha! Just noticed RCW's post and the pic of the dog. That's the only problem with our stove... everybody has to fight with the dog for the best spot in front of the corn stove on cold evenings! She'll (yellow lab) usually find a way to worm in between you and the stove.

Little late to the topic here but we have a TP40 Earth Stove that we've had since 1990. We burn straight shelled corn in it, 175-200 bu. a year for the last 27 years except a few years back when corn was $6.50-7.00. Burnt wood pellets for two years before switching back to corn. Finally rebuilt...

Yeah, but if you're faced with the prospect of dumping a couple grand at a dealer into a "mower" repeatedly for mechanical problem that is likely to recur then there is a point where cut quality and other niceties don't matter so much. The glide steer is an interesting concept, basically...

Quick update on this question. So... a nearby Kubota dealer basically implied don't take it if they offer to give it to you! "We have 3 of them sitting in the lot at our other store because customers refuse to put another dime in them". Got to appreciate their honesty!

So a local implement dealer has a GR2100 with about 250 hours on it (Gas v-twin) it's really clean and appears well cared for. I've read though that the tranny, pto clutch, and glide-steer system can be problematic on these. Anybody have any input, especially the service dept. types? Haven't...

My rims have the typical 4 hole set-up for weight attachment. +/- 16 inch centers measuring across. The first weight goes on using 2 5/8 grade 5 bolts (3 inches long I think). The second weight goes on with two 6 inch bolts that go clear through the first weight AND the rim (wheel plate...

So one of the few complaints I have with my M4500 is that it is light in the rear-end. This is only a problem when plowing (3-14 mounted) or pulling a 10 foot JD no-till drill. But at those times it's mighty inconvenient. I refuse to load tires, Kubota wheel weights for that vintage are rare as...
