    Did your tractor lift that bucket of rocks?

    Grass rows, are very annoying how to avoid? Using the MMM.

    Although some will do it, recommendations with too little information usually doesn't solve the problem. I recommend you try various things to gain e xperience with what difference they make. While you shop for more equipment, sharpen the blades. If you aren't certain how blades should be...

    Brake problems

    So am I alone in thinking Kubota Corporation will get this handled pdq if presented written statement by dealer that it's normal? Out of all these times they've had tractor, did mechanic write on service order that brakes aren't supposed to hold in reverse?

    OEM Ignition Switch for ZD326 Worth the Extra $70+?

    All this praise for safety switches and kudus on Kubota for using several on their machines remind me of a thread down the list here called "Brake problem" where the dealer thinks no brakes in one direction meets Kubota's ridged standards.

    Brake problems

    Has the dealer put that in writing or furnished you printed material from Kubota to that effect? I'm betting no and I don't believe they will. You need to send return receipt requested letter to dealer asking them to go on the record with their answer. If they accommodate , contact Corporate...

    F2680 supernatural phenomenon

    Until you said you didn't wipe before re-inserting I was going to suggest looking closer to see if oil has climbed stick by capillary action making stick look same top to end. I've had sticks appear overfilled but second insert revealed different. To answer the question of pressure, just pull...

    OEM Ignition Switch for ZD326 Worth the Extra $70+?

    If it comes down to the $300 controller, before I bought a new one I'd try the Deox-it on old one. Looking at pictures it appears that housing is sealed. My first attempt would be drill holes in apposing sides to insert straw and spray then blow out with air hose. If that didn't bring it to...

    "Burnishing" your new brakes. WTF......... Now I've heard it all. (I'm raising the Bullsh!t flag)

    "Burnish" is a poor definition for it. Burnish actually describes a condition I would call "glazed" which results from overheating which causes braking power to fade. "Seating" would be more accurate for what happens. What the break-in period accomplishes is getting maximum shoe surface...

    L3350 Battery Replacement Options

    Measure you case and take note of + - post arrangement and buy the largest group size possible. My trailer, 841 Ford, 65 MF, 97 Silverado and boat have group 65 batteries which are 25% larger than factory.

    Punctured rear tire, L-35, thoughts/advice?

    I 3 to 1 prefer patch from inside over plugging. Why can't you take the tire in for repair? If hoe is on it that takes car of jack and surely you can beg,borrow or steal a socket and breakover to remove nuts.

    Kubota M5700 AC Control Blowing Fuses

    You will really be miffed if it turns out those $97 switches were shorting internally causing the problem all along.

    Kubota M5700 AC Control Blowing Fuses

    Since switch was the problem in 23,do same tests as you did in 23 but in reverse order this time. As for paying $97 for a switch, I'd buy a universal 10-20 amp switch for $20 and fabricate mounting. Describe switch, how many positions does it have and what is each position for? How is it...

    B2400 overheating

    What Wolf said and I might add that a cracked head/blown gasket can lead to more serious damage if it's continued in use. Before you tear it down or take to dealer, what ,makes you think it is overheating? If you are going by gauge reading and have no coolant lose you might add a quality...

    B2400 - overheats when mowing after ~20 minutes

    I noticed you said "white line" instead of a temperature. That's a common gauge but installing a quality sender and gauge marked with temperature is money well spent. At minimum take readings from radiator, block and head with laser thermometer. If you confirm temperature is higher than spec...

    Fuel blockage in tank

    There's often a strainer/sieve to catch large debris. I would expect it to glogg again shortly unless debris is removed from tank.

    A little Machinist advice please

    I could be mistaken but if shaft,bore and key fit snug you might be able to salvage and reuse the whole assembly without need for parts or precision machining. It looks like keyed sleeve has a disc attached and relies on friction from being trapped between 2 piece pully that was spot welded...
