Thank you, sir

GR2120 . Does anyone know where this cable attaches? I have been experiencing treadle lock up and the loose cable may be related.

I agree there should be an easier way to re-install the spring but the design makes it easier to pull out than to put back. The rod extends just 1/4” beyond the keeper, and it have been simple at the factory to drill a hole and fit a cotter pin, thus preventing the royal pain of...

I noticed 11 marks corresponding to the 11 coils of the spring. You were correct that my attempt to cock the spring against the side of the frame was incorrect. Although I still needed to cut clearance notches or break the rod weld and re-weld it in the right position, I took another tack...

I appreciate your vintage preferences, which I share and use on my 1946 Ford flathead truck. Kubota‘s engineers certainly devised a complex system to shut off the damn engine. I have a lawn mower choke cable at hand if my last ditch intuition does not work. I noticed that the Yellow Black wire...

I’ll try to do that in the morning. THANKS!

Thanks to your suggestions and some inference, I figured out why the assembly won’t go back together: at the factory, the spring was first installed on the rod and second, the paddle was welded to the rod. This explains the indented bits in my original photo. Instead of cutting the weld, I opted...

Does anyone else have a 14 gauge BlackWhite wire at the terminal of the timer relay? If so, would you check to see if it gets 12v with the key in first position?

Hello, The first symptoms were a rapid clicking of the stop solenoid and then the machine would not shut off. What I did so far: replaced the timer relay. Put 12v directly to the stop solenoid and observed it move the rod and hold. Replaced the PTO switch and confirmed function of the seat...

Yes, that looks like the correct orientation! I’ll work on a method to fit the spring. The spring’s thickness when on the rod raises the rod end up enough that it won’t pass into the keeper. I’ll fool around with some clamps; it sure doesn’t fit by hand pressure.

Good guess, but no hole in this 1/4” rod. If the orientation of the parts diagram is a clue, the L part of the spring bears against the finger flap, and the straight part bears on the side of the notch? Somehow that cocks the spring tension. The puzzle is how the spring is installed on the rod...

Your 4 questions might prompt others to chime in. Thank you. 1. Black disk is a bumper 2. In regular operation the perpendicular arm of the rod is under torsion spring pressure when turned down to adjust the back and forward motion of the seat. You sit there and move the lever from 2 o’clock...

Hello, I removed the seat base on my GR2120 and I cannot figure out for the life of me how it can be reinstalled. Pictured is the rod in place, without the coil spring. The mechanical problem is that there is not enough clearance fore and aft, or up and down, to fit the L shaped “paddle” in...
