After 4 hours I wouldn't expect completely clean/transluscent, but not very dark/dirty colour either so I wouldn't discount the possibility that they never changed it. If they don't admit the possibility that they made a mistake and never changed it, talk to someone about getting a sample...

Free speech in any country is truly a myth, lawyers make a lot of money from defamation cases. NHSleddog, if you feel muzzled about a particular "off topic" issue, why not continue to contribute your Kubota knowledge to OTT and your knowledge of the other issue to other forums specifically...

I heard that too, but when you look at the videos, the only ones I found on tractors are hydrostatic. Not a belt or chain in sight. Example: The thing I didn't like about the only CVT car I drove for any length of time was the rubber band sensation... simply didn't have the responsiveness...

Assuming you planning to fit those filters to your machine, why that brand in relation to many others or the genuine filters?

Really good to hear, thanks for the update.

I second that. A while back I was found it quite interesting to see the debates and reasoning behind individuals' different approaches to Covid, but no longer.

Some Kubotas with Donaldson air cleaners (sounds like yours might be of that brand) came with an air filter restriction indicator (Donaldson name: "filter minder") In heavy dusty use the restriction indicator would be a great guide - but if your air cleaner isn't set up for one then you'd have...

4WD, 2pt hitch on the front. Definite resemblance.

Thanks Dave!

Thanks, is there any need to change the fuse rating? Or do the new slow-blow fuses blow at basically the same amps and milliseconds as the old fusible link blows?

I'm interested, how do you convert to a slow blow fuse - what amps and are there any advantages/disadvantages? Thank you.

I'm more than pleased to see that the mods have let this thread carry on. Yes there is robust debate and even a bit of name calling a while back, but this is the only forum I'm aware of where I can see honestly held beliefs provided and defended, and some real information from "ground zero"...

Hi Orop - success, or no? If not can you give a bit more info on the lever position - does it move to the normal fully engaged position? Any other observations?

Welcome! My offering as a relative newbie to this forum: sometimes the PTO engagement lever is balked by the gear teeth position and may needs several attempts to engage. Did the lever go all the way it usually does when you tried to engage the live PTO, or did it persistently stop short...

I might be wrong but HiFi seems to be a filter rebrander/logistics company rather than a manufacturer. Someone has done such a nice job on your tractor I wonder if you should use genuine Kubota filters and cut out the uncertainty that the filter you are fitting has the right micron rating...

It looks so good I'd be worried about scratching the paint... well done, someone's done a great job on the refurb.

Getting a workshop service manual for the engine and reading the troubleshooting section would be a good start. If you're planning to keep the tractor for any length of time you'll be pleased you got it. Try Ebay, kubotabooks.com, or any one of a number of document sites like Scribd, your...

Must have been a very satisfying project. For the benefit of ignoramus' like me, which box is the generator control box, and did the switches etc on the non-drive end of the generator come as part of the generator package (if that isn't the control box). Wonderful to read about you project...

A quick follow-up for those that are curious - finally got a USB-connected microscope going. The 11mm diameter copper gaskets that I referred to in my last post above look like this: Left gasket is showing the upper (DV holder) side, the right gasket shows the face that's against the lapped...

This reminded me about a lot of stuff I'd forgotten - positive/negative pressure pulsations in the inlet manifold due to intake valve operation, cylinder pressures and overlap. It's what operates the Donaldson "vacuator" valve so it expels dust or moisture that has accumulated in the bottom of...
