    B2400 overheating

    Are you sure you installed the T/stat the correct direction? They do make a chemical that detects carbon monoxide in the cooling system, tester Shop around you might find a better price 🍻

    GR 2120 Slow reverse tip

    I posted this a few years back but felt the need to post it again. I just bought a new GR 2120 to replace my 7 or 8 year old one. the first one was pretty slow backing up and almost impossible on an incline. While servicing it I note that the Main arm on the HS lever was loose where it...

    Leaking gear boxes on mower decks

    My departed GR2120 ( bought a new one) had developed the leaking gearbox seal on the mower deck. In looking at it I noted the breather valve had a 5 stamped on it. Removing the valve I noted that is was spring loaded and would require X amount of pressure to open (5lbs?). That coupled with the...

    Just curious

    Speed also comes into play as well as using 4wd ;)

    Hydraulic leak on GR2120 transmission

    Too late at this point as I bought a new one. the deere was just too $$$. The previous unit lasted 8+ years. The fluids were changed by employees but other parts of the servicing were not done as I came to find out. So if I get another 8 years I'll be getting close to not giving a :poop: 🍻

    Hydraulic leak on GR2120 transmission

    I know the early units had a lot of issues, mine is a 2017, do you feel the trans issues were corrected by then? Have there been further improvements on the newer models? Asking because I am part way through the 600 hour maintenance and have found several other issues somewhat minor but still...

    Is kubota's QC slipping? GR2120 /B3200

    Yes but smoking an unsuspecting muscle car at a stoplight is worth it 😳 🤣🤣🍻

    GR2120 Electric Fuel pump question

    Might be a fuel issue as it's been awhile since I changed the primary filter 🤫 so I'll likely start there. As for the sideways thing, been doing it for 30+ years as long as the grass is dry and the 4wd is in place. Would not try it without. Speed is also a factor. Don't do it all the time but...

    GR2120 Electric Fuel pump question

    Thank you very much for responding, My 71 YO mind is playing tricks on me :(. My RAM is full and the type I was born with is no longer available. I've been warned by neurologist's to not try and delete any files as it may blow a vacuum tube or corrupt other files. Hopefully Musk will come up...

    GR2120 Electric Fuel pump question

    Can someone tell me if the electric fuel supply pump runs all the time when the key is in the on position? I seem to recall it shutting off after a short time if the engine wasn't running. Mine is currently running all the time. The unit is a 2017 with just over 600 hours. I found another post...

    Looking for an electrical connector on G1800

    What are your symptoms? Might be one of the other interlocks? I'm not overly familiar with the 1800's but know other models have interlock /switches that can cause no start /run issues 🍻

    Is kubota's QC slipping? GR2120 /B3200

    I've always thought they'd make a nice sleeper with a 401 AMC swap or late mode hemi, LS swap or??? But I've always stayed off the beaten path when it comes to my hobby vehicles. Even mustang II cobra's, Mavericks etc. Dodge darts were a favored choice back in my younger days 🍻

    Is kubota's QC slipping? GR2120 /B3200

    What you refer to is a Heim Joint or Spherical rod end What The GR's use is referred to as a "Ball joint Rod end" or "Tie rod end" Tie rod end linky I am not sure the spherical rod end would hold up in the environment it would be exposed to but then again neither did the "Ball joint Rod end"...

    Hydraulic leak on GR2120 transmission

    I wanted to repost again after just completing the 600 Hour service. I had checked the fluid before doing the service and it was at ~ the 1/2 mark. A bit puzzling as I had no signs of leakage just the normal buildup. I proceeded to do the service and left it t the 1/2 full mark knowing that...

    Lost hydrostatic drive forward and reverse

    I just experienced this on a gr2120. Going to guess he problem was the same as mine 😡🗯 With only about 500 hours on a well maintained unit being disappointed in kubota is an understatement.

    Is kubota's QC slipping? GR2120 /B3200

    I stumbled across this while looking for the reason the hydro stat stopped responding while mowing. the unit is a GR2120 with ~ 500 hours on it. Has been well maintained and garage kept. After locating the "somewhat hidden" neutral valve and towing it to my shop. The ball joint on the pedal...

    Is kubota's QC slipping? GR2120 /B3200

    YES!!!!! I compare them to Detroit in the mid to late late 70's. I believe the 1st or 2nd POST WWII generation is the reason. They had it TOO EASY, growing up, same as Detroit.:mad:

    Need a bigger alternator on your B series?

    Guess I was off on the year' I need more RAM but the devices I was born with are no longer available 🤣 must've been 86 or 7. I was railroaded out during their 2nd layoff as I refused to forge/correct military QA documents and was told I was not a team player. My manager just prior to this, had...

    Need a bigger alternator on your B series?

    Your communicating with a guy that sold ~ 1800 shares of intel stock in 1983 and was happy then to unload it. :( If I buy a stock, it is guaranteed to plummet until i sell it. It will then 🚀 to unbelievable values 😟

    Need a bigger alternator on your B series?

    I'll agree. The point was trying to make with the comment was the cheaper alternators are likely using bin 4 regulators which is why they all failed due to the heat. Where as a premium company like tuff stuff likely uses a bin 1 or 2. Speedway's supplier maybe a bin 3 or 4. It's a roll of the...
