Doc Kubota videos... gone or... browser issue?

[glenintenn]

wondered if everyone else is seeing blanks sections in this thread for the Doc Kubota video series? Is there a plugin needed for browser to see the videos? (using Chrome)

I can't post the URL to the thread right now because I'm new to the forum but the thread link has this in the URL...

kubota-diesel-engine-maintenance

 

[old and tired]

Where at? On this site or youtube?

Pretty sure Kubota (the tractor company) would NOT like someone using their trademarked name for their own use... (just a guess, he might have gotten an order to stop using the name). Only a guess...

Found the link..

PM'd you as the forum blocks newbs from posting URLs... "Doc Kubota" may be a forum designation for the person in the videos. Anyway, I have an L4600 diesel and wanted to get the low down on Kubota diesel maintenance...

 

[glenintenn]

so... are you not seeing the videos either?

This is not for diesels but maybe similar info?

Are you looking for the manual?

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/916754/Kubota-L4600.html#product-L4600

Or something more specific?

Thanks for the link.

In this thread I was looking for the videos for practical tips on Kubota diesel maintenance.

I did post a separate thread about the Workshop Service Manual and electrical diagrams. I have the printed copy of the Owner's Manual from the previous owner but was trying to collect everything now while I'm thinking about it instead of in the middle of a repair or breakdown.

From the kubota books, at the top this might help some.
All-tractors General WSM.pdf

Otherwise, the L4400 was the previous model and that one is listed.

I bought the WSM for my tractor but everything I've needed so far was in the manual.

Oh, and yes, the videos are gone...

The YouTube videos appear to have been removed.

I wrote to Deen Kubota in TX to see if they remember them and are willing to resurface somehow/somewhere. One of the Deens is still in charge of the company so I assume he would be familiar with the "Doc Kubota" videos...let's see.

I mean, it's "101" stuff so not worth much more effort. Originally thought it was just some known trick of the forum to see the videos.

Thanks for replies.

p.s. I did find this series by "Mister" K ... maybe it's the screenshot replacement version of the 4 part series? It's not focused on Diesels though...

Not sure how Kubota could trade mark a relatively common name in Japan.

Not as common as Smith is here, but common enough that we know at least one Japanese family with the surname Kubota...

Good guess though...

I'm pretty sure the name of this forum had Kubota in it's name - or that might have been TBN that started with Kubota in the name and they were told to quit using the word "kubota". It was a while ago...

Doc Kubota was a Member / Poster on ssbtractor.com forum.

I looks like he quit posting both videos, and forum questions so something like, him passing, could have wiped out his youtube account.

Or he just got tired of dealing with it, it's a lot of work trying to stay ahead of everything, and decided to delete everything.

The videos linked on here are Service department Vic, Him and Mr. K were the founding members and are the owners of this forum.

There is no Cheap or Free WSM for the L4400 so you will need to get one from a dealer of off ebay.
Don't fall pray to anyone offering a cheap copy of it on PDF as it will be a fake.

 

[glenintenn]

Ordered a hard copy off of ebay. Pictures looked good. Let's see about the authenticity.

Some vendors on ebay seem to have visited Kinkos-Fedex with an original.

I was kind of surprised to see that the YouTube channel is active, but all of the videos are gone.
I was just using one as a reference the other day, and when I went looking for it, I noticed that the channel had zero videos. Anyone have any idea what happened?
Edit: Also it lists me here as a new member? ;-). I joined 1/28/2014, just what do you have to do to be considered seasoned?

My guess it is based on the number of post you have made.
