    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    This came from the marketing department. Engineering would have said "energy gain x at y F/°C" 🤣

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    No, we are fine here. Only Cork city gets flooded when there is heavy rain and strong south easterly winds are pushing the tide up the harbour. The Irish for Cork is Corcaigh, which means marsh. Not an ideal place to build a city, I think :giggle: See also: Wikipedia Cork City Last time it...

    No, sorry, did not see that. You are right, not worth it.

    L4400 fel not working

    He has them apart now. Is it not possible to find new piston seals?

    What was that saying?….”measure 398 times, cut once…..dumbass”

    "Pour a cold one" is the right thing to do. Those things just happen, does not matter how careful you are (will not post a picture of my milling vice here, too embarassing :giggle: ) And be honest, the damage could have been worse and the important bit is that you did not get hurt. Chucks and...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Made a pipe for my diy diverter valve. The original, very neat Kubota solution would have more than tripled the price of the tractor, so I went for a cheapskate solution for 16 quid. Very little space with the HST pipes and the fuel tank around that area, so I needed a 60mm length hydraulic pipe...

    ZG227 Starting Problem

    There is a reason the fuse blew. You have to find the problem first before you replace it, otherwise it will simply blow again. From what you describe there may be a short to the chassis of the cable of the seat switch or a short of the seat switch itself. See if you can find the cable to the...

    L4740 - suspect glow plug problem. Advice welcomed.

    You can test the glow plugs individually: Glow plug testing D722 Different engine, but the method should be the same. And yes, I think you are on the right track suspecting the glow plugs or glow plug control electronics from the symptoms you are describing. Do you have a work shop manual? If...

    Tractor Down! Fuel issue?

    That it spurts every now and then is due to the cam and whatever drives it. But bubbles means air getting in somewhere. Is your fuel intake hose connected properly? What you can try to confirm the fuel pump as the problem without spending too much money initially is getting one of those cheap...

    Tractor Down! Fuel issue?

    I think the pump is mechanical from a cam. It only does something when the engine is running. Did you crank it in your test?

    Tractor Down! Fuel issue?

    Hi, the fuel pump is only shown in the fuel parts diagrams. With part number it is included in the injection pump diagram (number 090). Looks like a mechanical fuel pump. Filter bowl filling in a minute sounds slow to me. You may have dirt or Diesel pest in your tank. Blowing back the pipes...

    You will find the keys after the new set arrived ;)

    Metal hydraulic line keeps blowing

    I typically reuse the fittings of the old line. Cut off the pipe at the fitting and drill out the rest. They should be strong enough and fit perfectly to the tractor side (one side of your pipe seems to be thread, but the other fitting looks non-standard). You may have to drill the hole...

    B2301 tipped over

    No, it is not. Brain dead journalists call everything from digital image or sound processing or improved internet searches "AI" now. Not the slightest hint of intelligence in there. If computers would have intelligence (as in ability to learn themselves) they would have eradicated the humans a...

    One hour job takes..... Too long. Like this post.

    Somebody else mentioned it already: hammer a screwdriver through a stubborn filter and use that as a lever. It's going in the bin anyway.

    B2301 tipped over

    Was that AS (*) generated too? :oops: * AS = artificial stupidity. There is no such thing as artificial intelligence. This is only marketing manager and clueless journalists rubbish.

    World wide phenomenon so. The results of privatisation. The Irish state owned postal service "AnPost" is still top class. I rate them by far best of all and use them whenever I can, even if they are a bit more expensive.

    Daily Chuckle

    The subcontractors are the problem. They probably get paid half nothing and the only way for them to make a living is drop it in the grass by the road, take a picture (that ironically is proof of non-delivery) and drive off. UPS was first class 6 years ago when they had their own drivers. Now...

    Not much. Love your "secure location" :love: 🤣 Same problem here. Bin through that recently. My "secure location" is out by the road, about 70 yards away from the house where this delivery was lying in the rain for over a week until UPS collected it again (I refused delivery after it got...
