Excellent project! It looks really good too.

Hi Katansam- Everyone was a newbee. Tractors are full of surprises and contain many technologies from hydraulics to engines, to tires and so on. This is a friendly forum and there is a lot of good experience here. Goodluck with your purchase! What are your plans for this beast?

These are all really good ideas. I have been thinking of what do do as well for moving a boat and utility trailer. I have a question for Lilfoot: Guessing on dimensions 10 x 10" using 1/2 plate? Also, on the bolts that engage under the FEL blade, are those some kind of bushings that fit over...

Thank you. I am trying to save a bit on shipping and perhaps someone else can use the radiator. Kindly see the pic attached for the 3 measurements. Would you also send me a pic of the thing lying down? I can't see the bottom of the shroud - I guess it's flat. What holds the shroud to the...

I wonder if you would consider selling just the shroud? I am interested in this one (see attached). If you are, I will send you where to measure so I know if it will fit

So yesterday I began putting the top bits of the engine together. Injectors, rail, valve cover, plumbing, etc. I ran the engine through a few revolutions to get the oil moving. I had the top lines to the injectors disconnected so I could see when fuel arrived. Eventually the good 'ole red...

Hi All- I have a new manifold for sale. It is a nice aftermarket and I can't use it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203652646638?hash=item2f6aa4c6ee:g:5mIAAOSw2Klhaez2 Thanks, Nick

Hi All, I took the page with all of the info from Kubota (https://kubotacustomercare.custhelp.com/app/home) and moved the data into an excel file. It will be much easier searching for things in excel rather than using their web page. Download the file and when it unpacks it will be in excel...

Excellent - Good for you. I'm thinking the injector was clogged and using the tool managed to get them going again. They could still be clogged and if the engine doesn't continue to run, perhaps put them in the tool again just to ensure they are popping. Looks like the injectors come apart...

I hear you, but you likely didn't buy a project tractor as I did. "OH NO what have I gotten into!"

I am not familiar with this machine, but wanted to ask if there is a safety switch on the seat that could cause an issue when the operator moves around.

Hilarious! Who said fueling had to be boring!

Hi All, My assumption is that if y'all live on farms, you probably have large diesel/gasoline tanks from which to fuel your equipment. Cool. I wish I lived on a farm! But those of us with some acreage that enjoy tractors probably have a different approach. So I started looking around on...

Outstanding! No doubt a great friend!

Continuing... The original exhaust manifold was cracked and I helped it along. The valve cover was eaten away and I used JB Weld and some magic to make the repair. Yes that is the black gasket you are seeing in the picture "1 rotted gasket slot"

Hi All- While continuing with Rust and Rehabilitation, I decided to clean off the top of the engine and remove and inspect the injectors. This is a D1703 engine. After immediately puncturing a rusty freeze plug and charming the job with colorful language, I thought I'd post a few pictures for...

This is great information. Being a bit of a nerd, I looked up the main ingredient "Nitrobutyl Morpholine". As with most things of this nature, it deserves as much or more respect as other nasty chemicals we all use. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/3527600418.mb222444kmxe0009

Hi Mike. If you go to Youtube and search on "seafoam in diesel" there are are ton of "YES" and a ton of "NO" as to whether Seafoam actaully works. Personally I don't know, but are you trying to solve some sort of problem with your engine?

Building on some ideas aforementioned: 1) Possibly use the electrical or PVC nut threaded on as much as possible with silicone to make up the difference. 2) a rubber grommet used in a sink drain. 3) a rubber regular grommet or large Oring. 4) The JB Weld idea might work and you don't need to...

Unless you know for a fact there is metal in the system, it seems replacing the seal is all that's needed. If you want to, stick a clean magnet in an oil catch bottle and see what sticks.
