    WTB: (2) tires & rims for small lawn tractor

    I just put ITP mud lites on my RTV. They are very much like an R1 and quite reasonably priced.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    This weekend I will try to rule out the injectors as the cause. After 2600hrs it may be time for new or rebuilt injectors?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The RTV is alive - new starter is on - local lift truck mechanic has a source and cost me under $200CDN to get one in 24hrs. Now that it is running - here's the bad: it may have a knock; I don't think it's the typical diesel engine sound. I have fresh Rotella in the engine. I should have...

    Locally it's impossible to find Lucas grease lately! No idea what the issue is, but everyone is blaming COVID

    Reverse mortgage

    Here in Canada many banks are happy to stay on the title of your property even after your mortgage is paid off. 1) you will turn to them first if you need a loan against it, and there's no legal fees then to re-add them to title. You just have a mortgage with $0.00 owing. 2) title fraud has...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Worked on the RTV 900 today: New ignition switch New 60A main fuse New fuel filter New air filters and evacuation valve New Rotella and oil filter New UDT and transmission filters Oil was low, and BLACK. UDT was low, and milky green/brown. Rust on the frame thankfully isn't too bad, but goes...

    Generator Transfer Switch Setup, Better Late Than Never.

    I have a 10kw gas unit. To ground it should I ground the generator frame to my ground rod? I went with my setup for two reasons: a) cost. The generator and the switches and install cost me $1300 all in. b) I have two different services. My house is your standard 150A 240V single phase. My...

    Fixer-Upper 2011 RTV900

    Yes, I'll take some today or tomorrow! Thanks to all for the tips. For the rust I have a bucket of corroseal around here somewhere, but I'm interested in this Ospho stuff. On the starter, there's a bunch on amazon for $80-100 and I wasn't sure if I should try it. Worst case scenario I just...

    2010 900 RTV

    When the box is up, there's an amount of fluid moving into the cylinder. I wonder if that is factored into the dipstick reading?

    L-175 Front Loader Hydraulics

    The limitation is the factory pump. On my L245DT the Kubota (by ARPS) loader is connected to that plate and it is slow. I am considering putting a pump on the front shaft and using the tractor reservoir to get more flow.

    Generator Transfer Switch Setup, Better Late Than Never.

    I bought a couple of these years ago on ebay for about $100 ea: https://www.ebay.com/p/2254497186?iid=380567841553 They are fairly straight forward to install yourself, and they came with an instructional DVD. I installed one on the shop panel and one on the house panel, and it's as easy as...

    Paint Recommendations Wanted

    The Kubota rattle cans of the old orange and old blue colours are pricey from the dealer, but they are the original colours and the paint quality is quite good. It goes on well, adheres and wears well, and the finish is quite good for a rattle can. Somewhere someone posted the amount of cans...

    Bucket Needed L1200

    I have the ARPS 22 made for Kubota on my L245DT and it is similar but I don't know if it is the same. I noticed a bucket for sale in my local paper for sale once - it was from a Belarus tractor and the space between the inside ears was the same as for the outside ears on mine. I was going to...

    Fixer-Upper 2011 RTV900

    So I bought this 2011 RTV900 awhile ago. I mentioned before it had been used to plow and salt. Unfortunately the rust has effected the rear wheels, the bottom of the dump box, the scraper blade, and the floor. I ordered 2 new wheels and tires from the dealer (good deal, about $140 Canuck...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Recently picked up a severely neglected 2011 RTV 900. Spent some time yesterday taking stock of everything obviously wrong with it and planned for all new fluids, filters, etc. It is missing an ignition switch and was being hotwired from the battery. As such, none of the electric stuff works...

    L245DT Front Axle - chipped gears

    Thanks to Lance I'm back up and running. Just in time, too, as we had a snowstorm a week after I fixed it.
