According to a diagram from https://shop.kubotausa.com/oemparts/a/kub/6091b9a787a86614f81c7709/141000-ignition-coil-and-spark-plug This is the pickup coil - right? PN: EG673-67870 They actually DID bury this sensor inside a bell housing! Unbelievable!

Well , you've already done a lot of investigation thats for sure! The erratic spark is concerning. In the old days, the disributor weights/ springs usually would stick or something. Or a vacuum dist would have a leak. Worse thing might be worn drive gears to the dist Translate to today and...

I'm not an expert on this machine, but a couple of things kept bothering me as I read through this (multiple times!) The Cylinder head: Did you ever get an accurate gauge on bolt torque? 14 ft/lbs doesn't sound unreasonable for a little engine. You mention the compression is much higher than...

CONTINUATION - Let's Keep Moving! - August 13, 2024 Still moving along with this restoration and guess what? It's taken longer than anticipated - Shocker, I know! Today we're looking at the Rear Axle and associated shafts (Axle Shafts and Transmission Shafts). I had to replace a U-Joint and...

Awesome job! It looks great, protected and so much better.

Unless you manage to drain all the hydraulic fluid from the various cylinders, the old stuff will be circulated with the new stuff. A way to do it is to detach the cylinder rod from the implement, capping off the hoses and adding new (temporary hoses) to the cylinder, then using low air...

The induction heater is the favorite tool here at Restoration Central! It's a very concentrated heat and will get a bolt red hot anywhere from 30 sec to 2 min depending upon the size. I don't use a torch much because I can't really control it - I use it for large pieces usually not on a vehicle...

This is a continuation of this thread: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/2014-rtv-1140cpx-new-project-for-restoration-part-1.70102/ I knew this thread would get long, so here is more work done on the RTV now in Part 2. The work has been coming along and I've gotten the...

Yes LPS -3 is another great one!

Before I built my current barn (concrete floor), the building it was in was vented very well. Basically tarps covering the "door". But it had a gravel floor. When it rained, not much would enter the building but the floor would feel damp and things inside would rust. My new building has a...

Oh no! Not a great way to end the day. Maybe a picture or two of the damage? Keep us posted

I'm in the process of restoring a diesel 2014 RTV1140, I can attest to parts being expensive and some of the other items @lugbolt mentions. All things marked "tractor" or such are expensive. And I also wanted a diesel-powered machine. However I don't need or want to go fast. I bought it...

CONTINUING THE RESTORATION - Various While waiting for parts, I dove into the painting and powdercoating side of the restoration. Here are some various picture of components, abused and now given new clothes. Here are front floor (top item) and transmission underguards. (The top of the floor...

Nice!

Hmmm, yes I know what you're thinking. Since the parts / whole unit is available that's at least somewhat consoling. It's a tough decision to make, to take something all apart BEFORE you have the parts to put it back together just to do an inspection. Goodluck whatever your decision.

CONTINUING THE RESTORATION - Front Axle Hubs - July 30 This is the piston assembly There are a lot of seals in this thing! Carnage: Axle shaft bearing surface is ruined - later I will offer an explanation. Carnage: Here is an example of the brake disc damage. Here are the...

CONTINUING THE RESTORATION - Front Axle Hubs - July 30 While waiting for parts, I've gone ahead and torn down both Front Axle Hubs. I was hoping that there wasn't any carnage, but I could smell the smell of ancient oil in the air. The front axle hubs on the RTV are pretty complicated devices...

Hi Cisco- Tank, lines, pump, fluid. Yeah it's kinda looking like the steering is the culprit. The first thing that came to mind was some kind of obstruction in the steering that would cause the fluid to return to the tank without doing any work. But the way I understand the problem is that...

CONTINUING THE RESTORATION Here are a few more photos from different sections of the machine as various work proceeds: The differential lock is on the driver side floor: BEFORE I like to powdercoat items like this: Eastwood Powder. I also welded a "step" to keep the foot from slipping...
