My great neighbor stored my tractor for me for a few weeks over the winter after I knocked my garage door off the rails with the loader...oops. He asked if there was anything in particular I would like done and he did NOT disappoint! I haven't got pics of all the upgrades but will post once I...

Be sure to find and grease the throw out bearing. It is easy to overlook.

Is there a knob under your seat which controls the lifting speed of 3pth?

They bloody things look stock, damn fine job. You may not ever go back to the rice tires.

A fine job, you've earned those wobbly pops. Need a set of tire chains now for winter snow removal. Good work!

Great idea, beef it up.

Are the rims going to be strong enough to handle the strain? The integrity of the rim has been jeopardized. Here's to hoping!

Bleed, bleed, and bleed some more.

I just went through this exact same problem with my L1801. As mentioned above a tap kit followed by a bolt and you're back in business.

If I could do it again I would buy tires off a semi truck. Something in the 24" variety.

Finally had a chance to put the Kubota to a real test with 2 hours of mowing. Happy to report the highest temp I witnessed was a hair over 210F. Success feels so good!

Search for my thread regarding building custom tires. This might solve your hunt for rear rubbers and rims.

Specialty Tire on route 90 North has the front tires. I bought one for about $40.

Where's the hang up here? Do you feel that the belt is too small or is there another issue all together? I remember having a bear of a time getting the belt around the fan. I believe I partly removed the fan shroud to buy some wiggle room.

Gasket should be fine for re-use as well. I've torqued all bolts down and had to remove head for some reason or another. I asked the same question prior to re-using the gasket. Local Kubota owner told be if be fine and he was right.

I was able to replace 2 liters of mixed coolant with 2 liters of water. Forgot to check the strength of the new ratio. Idle temp has decreased from 180F to 160F. Wasn't able to run the tiller because the yard is VERY wet. Good start though!

The fact that it died when you got off the seat leads me to believe there's a problem with a seat safety switch provided it has one. Start there.

Thank you all for the feedback. Will thin the mix and report back.

Thanks very much for the prompt reply. Will push 250F using a 5 foot finishing mower. 1st gear on the PTO and 1st gear drive high. Perhaps 5 footer is a bit too big? I've adjusted my tiller to the shallowest setting and can run in 3rd low drive and 1st on the PTO. This keeps me in around...
