newbie kubota bx owner. last tractor I had was an old JD 1A narrow front and a rickety loader attached. fun to look at, tall as a horse, and with two cylinders could burn gas, diesel, alcohol, who knows what else.

Really enjoying this machine as I get accustomed to the hydro and how it works. Still de-bugging her, but we're getting there slowly. I am thinking I'll keep the BH80 that came with it and just rebuild it with new pins. I have a lathe and milling machine so I should be able to custom machine new pins to fit the existing bushings and not have to replace them as well.

BX2200...Had 2 hydraulic leaks in loader section...fluid was light brown (with water)...replaced both lines and hydraulic/transmission oil. There's no place to bleed air on this machine. Now, the only way the loader moves or the brush hog lifts is with steering wheel moving. The brush hog mower only stays up for a while, then falls back down. Is this all just the process of getting air out of the system? If so, how long will this go on? If not...what else could be wrong?

Hi Phil, Yes I'm interested in your blade. Where are you in the Pittsburgh area, would like to see about getting it? Thanks, Tim

In 2019 I had problems with my M6060 cab tractor. Ended up, the dealer put in all new injectors as they all tested bad wwith just over 300 hours on it. Tractor started loosing power again yesterday the same as it was doing back then. I called the dealer and can't get it in for another month, service manager says it's now out of warranty but she will try to get Kubota to fix it again as this will be the 3rd time in the shop for the same thing. Today I replaced the fuel filter and took the water separator and screen off and found nothing in it. I'm wondering if it could possibly be the fuel tank vent. I know the hose goes up the rear of the cab and connects to a metal line. My question is where does the metal like end up going to and would it be ok for me to disconnect the rubbber line and apply air pressure to the metal line as well as blow into the tank

status is back up and running, with a roar

trying to disassemble the hydraulic control lever of my Kobota B1600 because it is broken. Anyone any experience? Any clues, or caveats?

I've been working on a D1005 in a B2320 tractor. It was very hard starting but once it warmed up it ran smooth. I had the valves machined and resurfaced the head. The issue is there are no timing marks anywhere! My timing method is to put a straight piece of welding rod into the glow plug hole. On the intake stroke while you rotate the engine hold onto the welding rod until it reaches TDC and adjust your valves (.006-.007) intake and exhaust. Most of the diesel kits cost from $50 to $500. The adapter is really the main issue since the glow plugs are 8mm x 1.0 thread. All of the kits came with a 10mm adapter but no 8mm and without the schrader valve your gauge will not accumulate pressure. I have several snap-on adapters with the schrader valve so I decided to turn one down. I also welded up an injector so I could get a tight seal. Now I can diagnose one of these engines in minutes and know exactly what I'm working with.

Hello,
I've been living on your rear remote write up.. Reread it every constantly as plans change. Most recent version is they send the wrong size banjo fitting, so I was looking at the 90 degree for the 3 PH. From what I gather Kubota's 90 is unique and fits in there. They have one locally for $7 so might try that instead of waiting for banjo. (Or bolt..., Summit uses a 3/8 banjo instead of 14 mm, and then includes a different bolt.)

Just curious where abouts in Michigan you are, I'm in Coloma. If you were close enough I would have bought you 12 pack of Dr. Pepper before I started this project for a chance to look at your work.

Thanks for all your detailed information,
Mike

RTV 1100 - Overheating -

OK, I have cleaned out the radiator, both air and water, Cleaned the screen. The Fan is WORKING when system get hot. I changed the Antifreeze, and The Thermostat, and the BELTS, the Motor is Sparkling clean also, BUT after about 5 minutes the Temp goes HOT HOT, the overflow is steaming, and I shut it down. OK and I also removed the Muffler and cleaned it out, and left it off, and tried the unit, and it still overheated. Only Thing left is water Pump, any other suggestions ??

I still need to know where to check the hydraulic oil on my 1996 Kubota L5450.

I heard on the radio the other day that IL had lowered their plate fee for trailers, I went to their web page and all they list are recreational trailers, I wonder if that includes flat beds/car haulers?

There are 4 things I would like to fix on this T1760

1) Replace sealed bearings on the deck mower,
2) fix the throttle - the engine idles from normal to very slow and back to normal constantly when I am in fast mode. If I go to slow mode then it just stalls. Not sure I can tell much difference between Fast mode and full choke.,
3) The front axle is quite loose, now quite sure where to start with this,
4) the headlights do not work and there seems to be a couple of loose wires that need to go somewhere. There are wires to the light switch, but a "spare" red and a "spare" brown are just dangling around that area. The red has an end to fit someplace, but the brown needs an end to be added.
Thanks to all for any advise / help / information you can provide.
I have the Engine Service Manual for FD501V, Operators Manual for T1880 (it seems similar to T1760) and operators manual for T1770 (it also seems similar to the T1760 - this manual was given to me by my local Kubota dealer)

Hi My name is Louise. I have been widowed almost 5 years. I have a Kubota BX 25D with loader and shovel, and a T1760 Lawn Tractor. My husband purchased the BX25 new in 2012 and I purchased the T1760 used in May 2021.

I have learned how to operate the BX25 and am having fun exploring and learning new things. The T1760 is 22 years old and needs some work that I would like to figure out and do on my own.
PS I have never changed the oil in my car, nor changed a tire in my life. So I really am a novice.
Since getting this I have, removed a tire (it had a slow leak) and put the new one back on. Bought the sponges and put them on where they were missing, added a missing spring under the seat, replace the air filter, had the dealer replace the PTO belt, do an oil change, replace the fuel filter.
There are 4 things I would like to fix on this T1760. Since I am running out of my max 1000 characters – I will do a second post for the rest.

Hello davidmem

I am right off 42 in Cheshire. If you do find a place to rent a 3 pt tiller please let me know. I have been wanting to redo our lawn and all the comments on OTT seem to indicate the tiller is the best implement to start with.

Does anyone out there in kubota land have any zd326 or zd331 parts for sale ?
