    Battery

    OK, two vehicles, one is an old Chevy van and the other is a six year old Tahoe. Both needed batteries about the same time, so I replaced them with Walmart MAXX. (#1 & #2) Both of the batteries lost electrolyte that caused damage to battery trays and more. Voltage readings were correct when...

    Battery

    So four different alternators were all defective and replacing the batteries with another brand fixed the problem? All of my voltmeters are defective as well? I didn't come here to ask advice, only report my experience.

    Battery

    I didn't say the alternators had to be replaced, it was a last ditch effort to get the vehicles back on the road. The batteries were not over charged, this was two completely different vehicles and the only thing in common was the junk batteries that were replaced multiple times. When the...

    Battery

    My Walmart batteries were the MAXX, I never buy the cheapest. The things puked out acid destroying components around and below, the washer pump is below the battery. All tests showed the charging systems were in order and replacing the batteries with another brand cured the problem in both...

    Battery

    BTDT, never again. After repairing several battery trays, replacing two windshield washer pumps and replacing alternators in a last ditch effort to get two different vehicles operational, I will not buy even a flashlight battery from them. Yes, I believed the theory about all batteries built...

    Possible DEF shortages

    It also shows how STUPID it is to depend on one state to forward the goods to rest.

    Kubota Electric Tractor Survey

    If we can burn municipal waste to generate electricity, then coal can't be too bad. God knows what is in municipal waste, but it is a politically correct idea.

    Bh77 Broken Dipper Pin

    I bought it new from an incompetent dealer. After several visits and then a six week spell where the dealer held the tractor for Kubota to get involved. At the end of that time, they said that the cylinder has been replaced (they lied), and had no clue on what the problem was with the dipper...

    Bh77 Broken Dipper Pin

    I didn't start a thread, coming here and saying negative things about orange tractors will be of no value. The dipper stick is made poorly with the upper holes for the thumb more than an inch out of position and the joint where the stick meets the boom collides in the corner. No parts are...

    Kubota Electric Tractor Survey

    Their 100 sq miles is a common mistake, they meant a 100 mile by 100 mile square. Even that comes up short, and a considerable amount needs to be added for the time when the sun isn't shining.

    Bh77 Broken Dipper Pin

    Look up the correct part number, the dimensions might be there in the description. I have the BH70 which supposedly takes the same thumb and I know for a fact that the parts kit contained the wrong parts and the pin was way off, in a number of kits. My backhoe was welded together wrong as...

    Kubota Electric Tractor Survey

    Don't forget the incredibly dirty business of producing the batteries. We do seem to have an infinite supply of tax dollars to support this nonsense.

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    The shaft for the treadle goes thru a tube to the left side. Look under the left side and you will see two nearly vertical springs that are partially hidden and a horizontal spring for the switch, that is the one I removed. You will find the springs near the mid PTO. Since that treadle shaft...

    I removed the horizontal spring under the left side after reading about it on this forum. Much better.

    I think I got scammed.....

    They told me in no uncertain terms that I WOULD NOT be refunded. They DID NOT say that the case would be reviewed, quite the contrary, they said the case is closed. My guess is that others were scammed the same way and possibly took further action. We can only guess what happened, but the...

    I think I got scammed.....

    Don't bet on PayPal backing you up, I ordered a Kubota step online from some unheard of company. I got an email saying it was delivered but it was not. PayPal says that the email was evidence that it was delivered and they could do nothing. About two months later the money was refunded with...
