Running at a terrifying approx 350 RPMs.:)

There are 20 different variations of the M7040, so you will need to be a little more precise. From your description, I suspect your tractor has the shuttle cable linkage. The cables have been known to get frayed and hang up in their sheathing. It would be a very simple replacement, but for the...

Connect your meter's negative to a good ground at the starter, and connect the positive lead to the battery post at the starter. What is the voltage? Now, jump the starter at the solenoid while watching the meter. What is the voltage while jumping it?

Or the harness is worn through or pinched, and both wires are being grounded.

Those joints are lock-tited when assembled. You can safely heat the end of the chrome shaft you want to remove using a handheld propane torch. I use this method all the time, and it has never failed. I turn the steering wheel to expose several inches of shaft sticking out of the cylinder, heat...

I am waiting to see where he got the new ejector bodies from.

If I remember correctly, the suspension and seat are from Bostram-Grammer.

Every Kubota dealer has access to a PDF of the WSM (Workshop Manual) on Kubota Link. Kubota Link is the dealer's portal to Kubota. The latest printing is 9Y111-05223.

The plug part number is 6A100-12180. Yes, it pops right out using a screwdriver, and the new one will need to be pushed or driven in. You can start it by hand and lightly tap around the outer flange with a small hammer. Do not drive, hit, or push on the center part of the plug.

First, clean that disgusting mess off of your tractor so you can actually see where the oil is leaking from. Once it is clean enough to see the origin of the leak and actually repair it, run the tractor and make sure the leak is not the rubber plug right above the output shaft. I replace more of...

You had coolant leaking onto the floor as soon as you brought it home, and did not check the radiator fluid level; you only checked the surge tank. Then you ran the tractor. You said you checked the tractor over several times, yet you still did not check the coolant level in the radiator. When...

Actually, the fact that the temperature gauge is still on the COLD mark while running for several minutes should set off a mental alarm. WARNING WARNING WARNING

That is how it is intended to function, but introduce a coolant leak, and the radiator does not create the vacuum necessary to pull coolant back into the radiator as it cools. If the coolant is leaking out and there is no vacuum to replenish the radiator, the engine will run hot, and your gauge...

The Kubota-branded air filters are Donaldson-Fleetguard filters. Many of them still have the Donaldson name on them alongside Kubota, and some come in a Kubota box and only have Donaldson or Fleetguard printed on them.

The cylinder walls, rings, and piston shirts are going to be ugly as sin.

You can not check your coolant level by looking at the surge tank; you have to remove the radiator cap and look in the radiator physically. I suspect you are very low on coolant, and your engine is getting so hot that the pistons are seizing in the cylinder bores. When you let it cool, the...

First step would be to put the fuel hoses and injection lines back on and clean that filthy mess off the cylinder head.

A common rail fuel system has no fuel shut-off solenoid. They shut the engine off by not sending a ground signal from the ECU. When did you change the fuel filter last?

The fuel comes from the tank, through the filter, to the mechanical fuel lift pump, to the injection pump, and then to the injectors. If you look between the filter and the injection pump, you will see it.

First: The hydraulic oil that flows through the filters and the HST is from the hydraulic oil tank on the RH side of the machine. The fill port and dipstick are under the passenger seat. The tank capacity is around 5 gallons, which is drained from the bottom of the tank. The oil you...
