    Zero Turn won't reach full RPM and randomly accelerates to normal RPM

    I guess that you have a carburetor rather than fuel injection. I would start by insuring that the fuel tank is vented and not causing a vacuum. Next, I would clean out the carburetor, you might have debris randomly restricting fuel flow.

    Intake blows white smoke, no start

    Since you adjusted the valves it should have been apparent if a valve was sticking while doing the adjustment.

    New Zero turn

    I have the Country Clipper and it works well for me. 9 MPH top speed, joystick, flip up deck and a front axle that follows the contour. I hope to never have a mower that doesn't allow easy deck cleaning and blade sharpening.

    New B2601

    An optional bolt on cutting edge is offered, I got one when I ordered mine. I would probably order a Piranha type of edge if I did it again.

    Learning to sharpen HSS lathe bits......A lesson in futility.....

    I made the mistake of buying a less than package quantity from McMaster, they tossed the loose inserts in a bag and all were chipped. Yes, they replaced them.

    Kubota D1105 No Start Black Smoke

    Sounds like a plan. I didn't mention it before but I didn't like the sound when you were cranking the engine, like at least one cylinder was softer than the others. Good Luck.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Big help but I would go another step longer, that would assure that you gain the last bit of strength and leave a margin of safety should a bolt begin to loosen. Bolts can be bought at numerous places and perhaps for a lower price, just be sure they are the same grade.

    Kubota D1105 No Start Black Smoke

    Understand that but I wanted to take out even the direction of rotation and get the cam lobe opposite the lifter without any confusion. Those that are doing a once or twice in a lifetime job won't care about a few minutes of time if they can be certain they will be successful.

    Kubota D1105 No Start Black Smoke

    To avoid confusion do this: Choose a valve to be adjusted. Turn the engine till that valve has opened completely, doesn't need to be perfect. Mark the crankshaft pulley with chalk. Turn engine one turn till the mark is at the same place, doesn't need to be perfect. Adjust that valve. Remove the...

    Screwing the old people

    The other sources of parts and materials have those expenses as well, there is no excuse for the highway robbery mentioned.

    Same here, I have the same connection problems. Two of the computers are identical in every way but only one will connect, I tried everything that I can think of but sneakernet is the only thing that works.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I think that erosion plays a large part in rocks coming to the surface. For example; I have a stone fence around my property and the ground has risen to the top of the fence at the low point of the property despite no farming over the last 80+ years. On the opposite of the fence the farmed...

    Note that the picture in their article shows a typical bolt with threads that are not complete for nearly two threads.

    White smoke

    If your model has 2 drain plugs, did you drain both?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I doubt that it is about the $.03, I also know better than using bolts that don't reach thru the nut. Any engineer that believes that two threads will hold a bolt needs to find employment where he doesn't endanger others.

    I would assume they goofed.
