    OCD and washing your tractor

    I can relate to that! I always write L - E - F - T on the top of the fingers of one glove and R - I - T - E on the other glove when I buy them so I would stop getting sooo confused when I was in a hurry to put them on. :cool:

    L1500 servicing

    Gotta love it! Welcome to the forum IM2. Even if you do accidentally make a few Freudian slips, you will still enjoy back and forth banter with these knowledgeable wrenchers.

    Newbie with T1760 starting problem,help

    Boy, LugNut you may start a war of words with that statement! I hear non-stop chatter about all manner of evil ethanol related damage but I guess I have just been lucky so far. I put it in my precious Harley Baby, both my Toyotas, my lawn mowers, tillers, electric hair drier and I am even...

    Newbie with T1760 starting problem,help

    That is because you don't yet have 5 posts. 5 Is a mystical, magical number for weird things to stop happening with your posts. I can't really help you as I have no expertise on your machine. What I can tell you is that a idle "searching" and/or surging engine will wear out the throttle...

    Kubota filters

    Re: Kuboa filters I think it has to do with when they schedule the engine and other components to be painted at factory assembly. Needless to say, the screw-on oil filter receiver would not benefit from having heavy paint coating inside the works, so the filter and other components are...

    MX5800 first oil change

    Good point Lugbolt. I don't usually have a nice level garage floor handy; too much junk in the way to pull tractor in. I always place a 2ft level on the fender and level tractor in two directions to assure consistent dipstick reading. If not the fender then some other spot and use that same spot...

    Newbie with T1760 starting problem,help

    Hi Aron and welcome to the forum! I have a early 90's T1560 with a 14-horse Kawi that has never had ethanol free fuel in it either! :eek: The only thing I do religiously is to put common Stable fuel additive in my 6 gal cans of fuel when I first get them home. A loooong time ago my fuel...

    L3901 Won't Start

    It is sort of hard to tell from reading your post exactly what is going on. If the tractor starts and runs most of the time, then the battery and/or starter is probably not the issue. When/if it won't start back up what exactly does it do? Does the engine turn over but not start. Are there...

    L3901 Won't Start

    Hello DanTheMan, and welcome to the forum! It is confusing to me but one of the most overlooked steps in battery repair/maintenance/replacement is the clamp(s). Both clamp screws should be removed from their respective clamp, thoroughly cleaned and lubed, or replaced, and then address the...

    Belt for 54" deck

    You know what, you hit the hail on the ned, as I had decided the idler might be the problem. Problem is, and this is a preliminary finding, but I think the opposite has occurred in my case. I think I detected that the idler pivot was sticky and I was trying to see if there was a hidden and...

    D1105 injection pump stuck fuel shut off

    I think you should thank your lucky stars that you didn't break something important, (right?). I didn't comment earlier but I noticed you did not seem to wait long for a reply and some guidance rather than resorting to a bfh and a bfp. :cool:

    Belt for 54" deck

    WOW! Thanks Dave. I have not had time to digest all that you included. I should have utubed how to (correctly) measure length before I tried to get a belt but I thought how tough can this be. The width is straight forward. Based on my findings I ordered a belt that "was the right length" - NOT...

    Belt for 54" deck

    Guys I know how smart you and you and you are and I feel awful asking if exception can be made for other brand machines. I understand this is a Kubota only forum, but I am having trouble and don't mind asking for help from folks that fool with all aspects of parts and repairs. I do after all...

    Lube on FEL saddle?

    Welcome to the forum! I don't own a quick connect fel model, but I don't think you will find a grease zerk anywhere on the U-receiver. If you wanted to fiddle with and align the bucket so you could create a small gap, it would not hurt anything to squirt some lube in there, but I'm pretty sure...
