No joke, I think you are really light, especially when considering CAD. I have a machine shop, so shop rate is figured differently, but still it is customer demand that should be the determining factor. If you can't make a reasonably profit from that customer, move on to the next.

The engineers should have spent some time in the military motor pool.

On many of these style bolts, Kubota instructions show 2 to 3mm clearance instead of tightening. There is a bit of clearance in the pin hole and a tightened bolt will take the load instead of the pin and bushing leading to broken bolts.

Check your oil and see if it is milky, that sucking sound might be valves sticking. I hope that I am wrong, just throwing out a possibility. Water in oil can cause a milky appearance and might cause corrosion during storage. A compression test should show a valve problem.

The My Kubota App does not help with the warranty, it only provides a link to general information.

I just wanted to confirm that others did receive the paperwork. I emailed the salesman and he simply attached the brochure page showing warranty and said to use the My Kubota App. The salesman was out when I picked it up and I dealt with a clueless young lady. I want the real papers and you...

When purchasing a new tractor, should there be warranty papers showing date of delivery supplied? I have nothing, and now see that my invoice is dated six weeks in arrears showing the date it was ordered.

Explain this: "wifee, turned key switch to start position all the way over, and voltmeter drops back to 10V. Retrying this a few times, the 10V, stay's constant, does not fluctuate, stay's right there." Does it drop to 10V at the starter each time it is tried and then return to normal? It...

Stump removal will always be a problem for anything but the largest backhoes. Here is one idea if you have no backhoe.

Don't forget that the tractor is new so both you and the tractor needs to adapt. I don't like to repeatedly start and shut down a new engine, so I would be cruising the area for hours at a reasonable rate while varying the engine speed and load. While joy riding, you can play with all the...

Aside from the heating discussed above, there is the fact that the rotating parts such as gears and shafts will necessarily need more torque applied to them as the RPM is reduced in order to do the same amount of work.

I would insist on a straight one. If they are all made that poorly, any blacksmith can straighten it.

I would stay with distilled water, it should be nothing but H2O with no minerals. The DI water was run thru a process that took care of the ion problem, but there may still be contaminants in it.

I want one.... no, make it two.

“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.” ― Benjamin Franklin...

A pentrating oil will do little since the plug is sealed well. You do risk damage from an impact, so use very short bursts and try turning in both directions. Sometimes turning towards tightening will break the grip. Anti-seize is a good idea, a better idea is to change oil more often and don't...

Chains can be hard on a nice driveway, so consider that. While not an orange tractor for snow work, I use turf tires with rubber tire chains and they work nearly as well as steel. I don't know if rubber chains are made in your size.

Nothing will go away till you get that +13 volts with the engine running. You need to troubleshoot the charging system using the work shop manual. Some auto parts stores will test an alternator off the vehicle, but they may not want to do it if they don't have one that fits.

Since we are well on the way of having a global economy, we are now seeing the beginning of how that will pan out, The entire globe will need to average out in terms of income and standard of living and we are not liking what that means for the US population.

If you can measure the dowel pin and the o-rings, perhaps you can get everything from McMaster-Carr. O-rings are difficult to measure so it might be best to measure the actual diameters and widths on the parts they seal. If you need help with that, a machine shop can help.
