    48 inch brush hog blade removal

    Well I was hoping this would get fixed, when the lack of holding got fixed. But alas it did not, the slow fast knob seems to do absolutely nothing. I'm not sure how this should react should it loosen and tighten like a bolt, mine seems to just spin spin spin and change nothing. And I'm not sure...

    48 inch brush hog blade removal

    Well everything came out as a unit, but when I tore it down I had a sinking feeling Extremely bad pitting on the cylinder liner :eek: It got worse when I checked the price, I was thinking $50-60, worst case a hundred, it's just a steel cylinder with a step machined on the end. $429.86...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got back out there. did a test fit of the bumper before I paint it and "then" find an issue, but it fits nice. Had to do some spacers due to the FEL frame, did not want to cut off the tow hook.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Very little, bit I could not wait to get home. My re-chromed grab handles were set to arrive today, and they did, quite a difference from when I mailed them out 2 weeks ago And they look beautiful against the fresh paint.

    Two of those pins, are connected together on the 1500 alternator so technically it is a 3-pin alternator. If you look at your plug , you will see two of those pins are jumped together Bill Rigsby Florissant CO 1972(?) KUBOTA L-1500-DT Great Bend M10 48" Front End Loader Brush Hog 48"...

    Rear Wheels L1500 / Valve Stems

    Interesting my fronts are out, but they're very short and not sticking out like the Rears so the chances of them getting hooked on something it would be pretty slim , I think if I leave the front out and put the rears in the tires will be more properly lined up Bill Rigsby Florissant CO...

    Rear Wheels L1500 / Valve Stems

    I am wondering, Valve stems in or out? The previous owner had them in, I can not find a good pic showing this. When I reinstalled them the last time, by habit I did valve stems out, they rub ever so slightly on the rear fender under flex? :confused: I can see having them in for protection...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Installed the rear fender grommets and fished the turn signal wires down and hooked them up. Had to make a second hood hold down, that part is not available, installed them and the hood cushion $$$ :rolleyes: I know the springs are not correct, but at $26.82 each they can keep them :eek: YES...

    I have what may be a stupid question, but being new to diesels. Except for large Bucket Trucks and Chippers, that shut down with a key. Is it Okay to turn the key off after the engine is running, assuming you do not need lights or horn? Three times I have shut down the tractor with the fuel...

    48 inch brush hog blade removal

    Is it a fair assumption that parts 30 and 31 would be the culprits to the sinking 3 point (ring and O-ring)? or just the O-ring?

    48 inch brush hog blade removal

    Well after trying numerous things other than cutting the nuts / bolts off. I just hooked it all back up to the three-point and did a couple passes now that I got the blades spinning 360 degrees. For completely dull blade that did a surprisingly good job. I think I'll do some cutting and then...

    48 inch brush hog blade removal

    I'm just guessing, but if there was a rubber plug on that 3-inch access hole, I bet half the stuff wouldn't be rusted to hell and back, oh well, the previous owner did not know what the term maintenance meant Bill Rigsby Florissant CO 1972(?) KUBOTA L-1500-DT Great Bend M10 48" Front End...
