    Testing fuel pump delivery - Bosch K type

    Thanks for the explanation Wolfman, I wondered about the shims - they are shown in the parts book but because there was 6, all with the same part number, I thought maybe they were merely a fixed spacer, rather than for adjustment. So from what you are saying, the shop adds to or removes the...

    Testing fuel pump delivery - Bosch K type

    Thanks for that. I assume each element needs to be calibrated so they are delivering the same amount - what physically is done to the pump or each element to do this? Or is it simply a matter swapping out old "out of spec" for new, on the assumption that say 6 new elements will always...

    Can someone tell.me what this badge means?

    If you google Kubota Tiger site:.jp you get images of a B6100 with an orange rotary hoe attachment... and advertised as "actual work goods! Kubota B6001bru tiger tractor 4 wheel drive 4WD diesel 3 cylinder 12 horse power RK1000 rotary width approximately 100cm". So maybe Bru, not Buru? Is that...

    Testing fuel pump delivery - Bosch K type

    Hi JerryMT, thanks for looking into this! Manuals: The engine manual I have is for the "B" version of the engine (S2200-B, S2600-B, S2800-B, code no. 97897-00771, October 1983). My WSM for the tractor (January 1983) specifies that the engine WSM is code 07909-70070 which covers a range of...

    Testing fuel pump delivery - Bosch K type

    My S2600 WSM refers to a "Fuel tightness of pump element" test Has anyone done one of these tests of a Bosch/Diesel Kiki K type injection pump? The purpose of the test is to find out if each element of the fuel injection pump is delivering appropriate pressure to the injector line, without...

    Can someone tell.me what this badge means?

    Thank goodness for Dave_eng's interpretation. Earlier I had googled "roaring tiger" and got an intriguing website www.roaringtiger.com, which clued into another poster's penchant for orange leather seats. Although with some imagination (not mine) blue tiger could have similar connotations. :D

    M4500DT math problem for water temp sensor

    Thanks for answering, I had no idea about the different types of sensor, I appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

    M4500DT math problem for water temp sensor

    Having the same tractor, I'm curious about the reference to the temp sensor type - dochsml why does the type matter, as long as the sensor creates the same or similar resistance at each temperature point?

    Temp sensor for M4500DT

    Good idea to chase the machine shop if they lost it. They should be more careful. I love the old M4500DT - a very cool tractor, been doing good work pushing a bit of dirt around recently on fairly steep slopes. Will send you some photos later.

    Temp sensor for M4500DT

    Sorry I don't have a spare one. But... there's bound to be an aftermarket one available. If there's no direct crossover for a 40 year old sensor :-) there are clued-up electrical people on this forum who may be able to tell you how to work out the sensor specs, given you have the gauge and the...

    A few cheap mods

    I particularly like the mirror idea - definitely food for thought.

    M4500 Compression Release

    I too wondered about the compression release on these engines - there's no connection to the operator station, like you say you have to lift the hood to get at it. The lever and bracket (on mine anyway) looks to be designed for remote operation via cable. It is odd that Kubota would have the...

    I screwed up again

    Yusss, done the same myself :-) When we moved into our current house I used a thermal imaging camera to trace the hot water pipes (had to run hot water for about 1/4 hour to heat the interior of the wall enough to get a visible signature). So at least I can nail and screw into the wall in...

    thread specs for D950 fuel injectors

    Pardon me sir, your first sentence is puzzling, was there some negative advice? If so would you be kind enough to identify it for me? I'm keen to learn and to offer constructive advice, what was negative about any of it from me or Wolfman? Thank you.

    Kubota M9540 front hub

    I'm curious about the lack of help from the dealer - did you get your new bearings and seal from that dealer?

    thread specs for D950 fuel injectors

    I believe that part of the injector of your D950 is the same as the S2600 engine - which is what I have - in which case the thread (in cylinder head) is M24x2.0 Would pay to find some way of cross-checking that. If you're looking at buying a compression tester, the kit I bought had the M24x2.0...
