For an engine with 5,000 hrs on it... I’d be neither surprised nor concerned about soot build-up at the intakes. When the engine is shut-down the valve stems are no longer under the influence of vacuum/pressure. This means the now non-moving valve-stems can “weep” oil into the area. Next...

...MOPAR... I wonder if we shouldn’t start calling them “German/Italian”... :(

Get a copy of the Operators or Owners Manual to make sure you know how it’s supposed to operate.

ONe of the differences between “starting” and “deep cycle”/“Marine” batteries is their internal construction. Starting batteries have large-area plates to expose as much surface-area to the electrolyte as possible to produce large-current capability for short-periods. Their plates are...

What brand basket? Where did you find/buy it?

That’s exactly one of the reasons I LIKE my Kubota... It SIPS fuel.

I was curious as to exactly WHAT it is... so I clicked on their link “how it works” and there’s no info at all actually. They just say “it works”. So, what is the active ingredient? Anyone know? Grease is indeed a bit messy and attracts dirt/dust. The way it works is it insulates the...

Probably. When I paint the inside of aircraft battery boxes I first neutralize any residue with a baking-soda wash, then dry, then paint it with this Randolph paint. After several years (each inspection requires the battery to be removed and serviced, and the box inspected) the paint may have...

Where did you find/buy that basket.

PitViper, ... I have to say that I did forget a point that GreenvilleJays post brought back to my attention... that being, Your main intent is to pull loose material back to the center of a road... In that effort a simple blade might do fine. I’m sorry that I immediately thought only of my...

HOw long have you owned it and how old are the tires? A broken sidewall can do that (similar to a broken belt in an auto-tire.)

There are likely other products similar to this one, but aircraft battery installations are most often installed inside aluminum boxes and are VERY susceptible to corrosion from battery acid, so they are usually painted with an acid-proof paint such as Randolph 345. It takes a day or two to dry...

There’s good reason Kubotas are popular (and it ain’t because they are cheap!) Thanks for the report and congrats.

LOL.. well...yeah...but THIS is a KUBOTA forum discussing the B1750HSD the OP has. My M4700 has draft control also...but it will not provide DOWN pressure. The rear blade on these 3-pts are not like a grader/maintainer for lack of down pressure was my point. There’s another difference...

Messicks has both belts: PN 70080-01411 for the drive belt and PN 70080-01451 for the deck belt. Don’t see a routing on the page tho’

This response is not a criticism of your very good comment.... but, in conjunction with your comment.... it seems to be another misapplication or lack of conformity to when they then specify PTO output as “540 RPM” ... (the 540 refers to PTO not engine.)

No.. That is exactly wrong. A 3-point hitch has no DOWN pressure like a road-grader/maintainer. The rear blade floats up/over hard-packed areas and grass and does not “level” the ground. Without rippers, a rear blade cannot deal with hard-pack, and even loose gravel will move around the...

I’ve got so many small engines on so many different pieces of equipment that I’ve come to the point where I’ll do almost anything to avoid another engine to maintain and another oil-change to have to do. Zero-turns are attractive, but that’s another engine and may even require another fuel...
