I inspected the air exhaust cavities and they were somewhat full. I cleaned them out really good, but it is still getting hot a few hours of running. I discovered that if you use a “mulcher”, the air exhaust cavities can become somewhat full after 10-12 hours of operations. Although cleaning...

G That’s a good idea to check. It squeals for about 5-7 seconds when I start it up. I’ll change it. and post the result

No sir, it’s the light picturing the motor cylinder with the thermometer next to it. (Attached). when running the machine for a long period of time the warning beeps three times, then the temperature light flashes two or three times, then it shut off for five or 10 minutes and then repeats

That’s is a good question. I cleaned inside the belly and cleaned out the inspection covers at the rear of the tracks about four weeks ago, but the holes could be blocked already. It’s supposed to rain here Monday so, I’ll open them up and check them Thanks

Great suggestion I didn’t think to do that, thanks. And you are very correct, once I had a car where the impeller on the water pump began to slip, causing it to run a little hot.

OVERHEATING DESCRIPTION: Below is a great read but, I'm going to get right to the cure. Tighten the alternator/fan belt so tight that when you turn the fan with your had, the crank pulley also turns. If the crank pulley turns a little then stops, tighten the alternator belt a little more. I have...

Geez!

Color coding does not always work. DEF fluid containers are clear. On my SS the DEF cap is blue. Blue containers are reserved for kerosean. Diesel color code is green, although transfer vessels for diesel are yellow. One of my Hydraulic caps is yellow, the other is black. The equipment fluid...

Well, aren't you just a burst of sunshine! :(

Yep, it s good thing I didn’t put diesel in the DEF

Thanks for the guided direction. I’m going to run it for approximately ten hours, change fluid and filters, then again after another ten hours. Thanks

From what I have investigated, Urea is ammonia and carbon. I wish I was a chemist, I would probable know of any possible neutralizers. If you discover any, please come back to the post and reply. Thanks.

Thanks for the measure of confidence!

I searched but, I could not locate any references.

I thought HEET might do the trick, although I could not find any studies on its possibility.

That’s a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I changed the filters. I figured I’d run it about 6-8 hr then change the reservoir (10 gal) again. Thanks I understand, although, these skid steers are a “hydraulic line” nightmare. I would have to dissemble the entire skid steer to completely...

When I viewed the inside of the reservoir, there appears to be 8-10 return lines. Your suggestion is very valid if there was a single return, I’m not sure this is an option in this case. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for your reply, I will take that into consideration.

Thanks for the suggestion. If I do that, I would take it to the Kubota dealer and let them do it, reasoning that I may miss draining a spot/area and all that work would be for nothing.

The cost of the 55 gallons was $360, a welcomed cost over a new hydraulic pump ($10,000). The machine was only run for a very short time; it is also is working like it should. The hardest part was removing the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir. We ended up using a older mechanical oil pump off...
