Thanks for the effort anyway Randy. It is appreciated:cool:

Wow thanks handyman you are handy indeed. I bookmarked it. Thats a great link. It is telling me I need to snug them up a bit. Thanks again.:D:D

Hi handyman and ipz, Thats why I want to recheck them after it has worked for an hour or two. To make sure that the valves were all the way closed when I set them. And I am hoping that someone will post specs on what gap I am supposed to have. The reason they were loose is that the nuts on the...

Thanks for the reply Ed. I put locktite on the nuts on the rocker shaft hold downs. So I'm not really worried about those, but I just want make sure that the valves stay the same as when I set them. Finger tight and and back off a quarter turn. I didn't have any specs so I just played it by ear...

It is together it runs, it runs good. I will leave it at that. I will keep my ears open for any increase in noise. I will probably have the rocker cover off a couple of times over the next two weeks.Wish me luck and thanks for the responses.:D

Yep I know there are two colours of kubo orange. I had two cans of kubo orange when I started painting the cab. The first can was the new orange which was what I wanted. The second was the old orange. Yup made a mess I did. Anyway thats when I went and got the other paint. And no Joe it is not...

Congrats 0b1, Ditto on what kdsn said. Thats awsome, your experience and knowledge has already helped many of us on this forum.

Oh it needed an oil change for sure. But thats not oil thats tranifluid.I was just flushing the engine. That was some nasty oil that came out.I pulled the rocker shaft off and pulled the rods and everything looks amazingly good. Its going back together. We will see what it does. I need torque...

Hi joe , well finding it and fixing it might be two different stories. But all in all it could have been a lot worse. I got orange spray paint at home hardware and it worked allright but they only had one can. I got the rest at canadian tire the only thing is it has a really long drying time. It...

I almost blew it. I should have done a bit more checking before I put it back together. I should have asked myself why was that rocker so loose.Any way I set the rockers and started it up and it ran fine. Long story short, the rocker shaft hold downs were loose. Re tightened everything and it...

Something is just not right here. Any thoughts comments. HELP:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Nope no starter fluid. I have never needed it with this tractor.I don't like using it anyway. This tractor has no block heater and would start at -20 no problem on the glow plugs. I had it running yesterday and no noise. I will pull the head cover in the morning. I hope it is the decompressor. I...

Decompressor??

My son was going to take the kubota out to do some tilling and he heard strange noise from engine. Pull the hose off of the intake and you hear a loud thumping, rev it up and you hear a thump and a knock. If anyone can understand my noise terminology. Any help would be gratefully...

Thanks Jerry, I'm workin away. Still lots to do but its getting paint. A few pics. Roof is nasty I put gravel guard on it and it didn't like the orange going on top. I may have to strip it.My shop is a big time mess. Well better get back to it.:)

Shear bolts shear bolts bend then shear.:eek:

Hi Joe, I'm thinkin cheapest solution is start tractor, pull tractor outside, close garage door, go inside finish coffee. Then go outside and go to work. I think what they mean is 5 to 10 minutes before working the tractor. But that's just my opinion.:D

I guess I won't have to email you after all you already got the numbers, Good stuff!! Jim.:D

Hey Joe, It looks like a great addition for your tractor. You will learn a lot this winter, me too I made a blade for my steiner, or I guess my son will learn a lot about it. It is going to his place in Holstein for the winter. The last tractor I sent out for him to use was an 18 horse massey...

Hi Fred, almost directly underneath the three point hitch lever is one strainer. Large nut on a banjo fitting, and directly opposite it on the other should be another banjo fitting with a big nut. Both of these nuts are actually part of the screen one is pressure side one is return side. Each...
