    Broken Steering Arm Thing - What's this called?

    Cotton, Before you disassemble this..... measure from the edge of the inner the rod boot (your last pic) to the center of the grease fitting. Reassembling with the same measurement will assure you the most accurate position as originally assembled, as the grease fitting is centered in the...

    M8580 troubles

    12.6v on a flooded cell battery is considered "fully charged for (load) testing". Load to 1/2 the CCA for 15 seconds, it should maintain at least 9.6v.

    2018 kubota grey paint color

    Gambler, Almost any auto paint store can shoot the color with a camera and mix it for you to match if they don't already have a formula. Most of the Axalta (DuPont) stores carry implement paint which is substantially less than automotive paint. I used it for the "Jolly Red" on my Honda riders...

    Kubota L4150 white smoke, no start

    Ok, question answered. GM's answer to stuck rings on the Caddy engines was an overnight soak with AC Delco X-66 or X-66A. It's actually a digestive cleaner that you don't want on your skin or paint for very long. I would be the guy trying that as a last resort before a tear down.... as I said...

    Kubota L4150 white smoke, no start

    I'm just asking here... Why? 40+ years doing auto repair and I have never experienced this unless it was stored in a swamp. I recently started a 6-71 Detroit sitting outdoors in a salvage yard on a pallet for over 5 years.... it didn't turn 1 full revolution before it fired. Did the...

    Is diesel pickup truck synthetic oil proper for our tractors?

    No, but I've never used it where it wasn't supposed to be used .... like in a 2 cycle Detroit or a Model T or Model A which require mono grade. Absolutely!!

    Is diesel pickup truck synthetic oil proper for our tractors?

    Krispy-Kreme coffee rolls with a pat of President butter, 2 minutes in a toaster oven, and a side of real burgundy cherry ice cream!! (The kind that comes from a local farm creamery sold in a full 1/2 gal.) Hungry yet? Oh yea, T6... best bang for the buck, period. P. S. Almost forgot... 10mg...

    Radiator problem

    There has to be a pressure relief issue in the system. Even if it is a bad head gasket, it should still vent before damaging the radiator tank. Is it in the radiator cap, or remote somewhere in the expansion/recovery tank? If there is an inter-mix issue with oil, the petroleum will turn the...

    Fuel filter crud

    Since I don't have a lot of history on this machine, and the past butchering I found ... we could all be correct. I was kind of assuming it was foam because all of my Hondas have a foam separator in the Hydro tank filler cap. Recommendations for best brand of algicide? Should I treat all the...

    Fuel filter crud

    I've seen some talk about soft black crud in the fuel filter housing. I do believe I found the source. I was actually fueling up when it started drizzling. I was banging the fuel cap on the loader to get one drop of water off of the rubber gasket. It looks like when the dust/liquid separator...

    Removing radiator drain plug on B2650

    Absolutely correct! It's a #3 JIS

    Tool Recommendation

    Machines are mostly bolts but... One thing you will need sooner or later is a set of JIS screwdrivers. Japanese machine = JIS screws, these are not Phillips. Screwdrivers and bits are made by Vessel tools, available online and eBay. The Snap On guys don't even know they exist. They do not wear...

    Last Time I got it at TSC. Walked by the empty shelf with a sign at $15.99 /gal. It wasn't advertised anywhere but there. Talked to the manager and he ordered me 20 cases for the shop.
