    B1550 Crank no Start, ran out of fuel

    So I think it may be the glow plugs as you suggested Russell. Once it is started and run for a while...it will start right up if I turn the tractor off. The only hard time starting is when it is cold. When I turn the key...the glow plug light stays on but I am guessing the light is on but no...

    B1550 Crank no Start, ran out of fuel

    How to remove pulley from 44" deck?

    I soaked it in PB Blaster overnight and tried again today...no luck. That tool is exactly what I was dreaming up....I made this wood one to hold the pully so I could get the nut off the top. I am gonna see if my buddy can weld me one up. Any other thoughts from folks.

    Just got my "new" Kubota today. (My 1st tractor.) Any suggestions as to what my first actions should be regarding maintenance or areas to check? I already see some welding that needs to be done on the belly mower. Thank you all for your replies in advance and I look forward to being a part of...
