Sounds like a bad ground. Check your negative cable by setting a multimeter for continuity and holding the leads on either end of the cable and wiggling it. Make sure the leads have a good connection. If it's not the battery ground there could be one up under the dash panel. It could also...

Re: New BX2370, Bad Fuel Pump? UPDATE I don't know. I'd have reservations about there being "no damage" considering how it was running. Gasoline is a poor lubricant so it did not do anything good to your pump and injectors and 3 hours is not an insignificant amount of run time. Even if they...

If I had to guess I'd say that loud noise was the piston seals in the rams letting go but it could've also been the sound of snapping metal. When the bucket falls does it drop like it's swinging free on a hinge or does it closes somewhat slowly like a screen door with a damper piston? The...

*Sniff* That brought a tear to my eye. That's beautiful! Rotary tables are nice eh?

Not that I understand. That's why they did it that way, so as long as they all aligned when installed everything was guaranteed in time. The fuel cam gear is keyed to the fuel cam and I can't think of anything that would throw the timing that far out inside the injection pump. According to...

Are you referring to aligning the clutch disc or the tractor halves? It's not exactly easy but as long as whatever rig you use to hold up both halves is easily adjustable it's do able. My machine is an L175 but should be about the same procedure. I used a come-along attached to a 4x4 that...

Actually that's more confusing, 280 degrees before TDC puts injection back in the intake stroke. It shouldn't run at all like that and if it did it would knock like crazy and probably punch holes in the pistons. If you lined up the timing gears properly then it should be impossible for the...

It's pretty easy to check if the switch is bad. On the left side of the engine towards the back of the block you'll find the pressure switch with one wire sticking out. Put a multimeter in continuity mode and unplug the lead coming out of the switch. With the engine off you should have...

Agree with everything posted so far. Miller seems to be the way to go for domestic welders these days. There is a foreign manufacturer called Everlast I've heard good things about. Their machines are a bit cheaper for similar capacity but do your homework and make sure the particular machine...

If I had to guess I'd say it's mounts for some long lost factory implement but beyond that I've not a clue. They're not threaded so they're could be meant as pivot points.

Bahh! Old tractors are like good British cars, if they stop leaking that means they're out of fluid and you should add more. It's not a bug it's a feature! :) I occasionally work with a big Ford back hoe that leaks so badly from the swing and outrigger cylinders that it need 5 gallons of...

Thanks! I've got a pile of injector shims in the box ready to go. Seems like no matter what I do my time is already spoken for. I had finals last week so at least that's out of the way. What little I did in this post I finished weeks ago I just haven't had time to write it up. Now were...

It doesn't show arrows but it shows a lip on both filters. The end of the filter without the lip is the down stream side of the filter. http://www.kubota.com/part/partsList.aspx Punch in your tractor there and you can see for yourself. If it's still misbehaving check the fuel pump...

Bleed from the lowest point to the highest. Fuel filter, pump, pump fittings, and then the injector fittings. Also advance the throttle to full and if you expect to be there for a while pull the compression release or remove the glow plugs for easier cranking. Will it run ok for a minute or...

The fill cap is marked by the red arrow. It's just behind the shift levers. On the left side marked by the green arrow is the level plug. Remove that when filling. With the tractor on level ground the transmission is full when fluid just spills out of the level plug hole. Do you want...

I think Glen has it. If you can get the lip of the front bucket under the thing and then curl the bucket back it'll probably lift. The curl cylinders have a lot more leverage than the lifting cylinders. A pair of shovels and some 2x4s would probably do it too. Get it up pretty high, slide a...

You're getting full compression on cylinder 1 though I'm not sure why 1 & 2 are so much lower than 3. The problem is probably with the injection system. I assume you've bled the system a dozen times by now but are you seeing good fuel to injector #1? If you are I'd remove injector #1 and...

Agreed. Otherwise it's likely something is wrong with the hydro and you're getting way too much pressure at the filter. A service manual would be a good investment if you're going to try digging through this yourself because it can get a little deep. First step would be confirming you've...

I apologize in advance but I don't agree with several things you said. "If the rings have worn enough to drop compression to only 110 PSI, there was an air filter problem." It's something to check but on mine the air filter was fully intact and even clean. I didn't do a compression test...

Agreed if it's as heavy as I'm imagining you should probably get a few more bricks and layer the entire bottom or use fine gravel to spread the weight. I would also be wary using just the crowbar, it may end up cracking under it's own weight. Just an idea but maybe it would be better to dig up...
