    G5200 (D600) drain cock valve thread pitch

    I didn't find a thing online about this so I figured it was worth posting up in more detail. Mine ended up snapping off from the block when I tried removing it during a coolant change.. So lesson learned, use a drill bit, long pick etc. before resorting to removal. P/n is 15841-73020. About $9...

    Engine wont turn 360 deg. either way so I bought it!

    How much for a rebuild kit? eBay has kits for my D600's for about $500. Sounds like a fun tinker project that has no deadlines. Anyways, I'd personally do whatever I could not to scrap it or at least keep it for parts.

    Hand Controls for a L2501

    You could add cruise control that will put a lever right next to the seat. Should be about $150-$200 from the dealer. Won't help you with reverse though.

    Ashland. They used to own Valvoline, but a quick google makes me not so sure.

    Filters question

    Was this on eBay? If so, they have a kit for my G5200. In the photos, the filters looked generic so beware. Rock Auto has good prices on WIX stuff FYI. WIXs site has an awesome filter lookup too. (PS, not a fan of the below tank fuel filters for my application since they are too big. I use...

    Do you still have the deck related parts?

    Clamp on pallet forks

    This style also moves your center of gravity forward the depth of the bucket vs. the quick attach style that is clamped to the quick attach plate.

    Front tires go flat

    This will be my luck. I go out to plow snow (if and when we finally get some) and my damn tires will be flat! :eek: Very odd issue though. My father has a 2004 Grand L.. No leaking front rims whatsoever. Storied in an unheated garage too.

    Buying a used tractor with no maintenance records

    Define maintenance records. I maintain my things arguably better than most, but I don't think I could supply records of that. Would recording something on a spread sheet be good enough? I guess I could supply receipts and/ or show you by auto/ tractor fluid stash in my garage? x2 on the #1...

    72" mower deck removal

    Just chiming in to say good looking Wheel Horse. I have a Charger 12 that belonged to my great grandfather that I am wanting to get running. My orange stuff just keeps me too busy.

    Feeding Chickens Maggots

    Never thought of doing something like this. Good idea. I had chickens as a kid and had a 2.5 acre bug light inside their 150x70' pen. They'd run out to that thing every morning and pick the area clean.

    L3130 tie rod boot

    Maybe we didn't try hard enough. Dad and I gave up on reinstalling them and just used black zip ties.

    Broke the engine block coolant petcock.

    Just as the title says. I found myself removing and reinstalling 3 others over the summer issue free and this one snapped on my $500 G5200. It looks to be made of aluminum so drilling out what is left and then re tapping the hole seems like the cleanest way. I am waiting on the part to come in...

    B2601 and Firewood

    That quick hitch in your photos appears to be Kubota blue? Very nice. Not sure why Land Pride doesn't include that color in their QH lineup.

    Engine Oil

    I say it depends on your dealer. Mine says people don't normally use synthetic in these and that any name brand diesel oil will work. I read somewhere else that Kubota Corporate doesn't like the use of synthetic when it's hot outside.. Lots of wrong info here, but to avoid conflict in the...

    Engine Oil

    I'd prefer to run a "diesel oil" in an older engine. Higher zinc levels as well as being a more stout oil.

    Engine Oil

    I do my best to stay out of oil related threads now, but this is wrong information. Some diesel oils, Delvac and Delo to name a few, are gas rated. Other "gas oils" actually have diesel ratings on them as well.
