The non-working instrument panel. Got it removed without shattering housing or other. Removed 16-pin connector. Trouble Though difficult to see, multiple pin are broken due to corrosion and most others aren't far behind. Not knowing what I'm doing, with key on, I tested for hot on a couple of...

Ju Just read through the entire thread. Really appreciate seeing you helping people and putting forth the effort which so many others would never do. Live in north-central Alabama.(y)

Thanks. Yep, I want to troubleshoot the panel first and see if it's something like a bad connection, ground, fuse, etc. That'd be good perhaps short of chasing down hidden a short somewhere. fortunately, cooler weather is sliding in making it more comfortable to wrench along with nearing the...

Thanks. good to know. Have not run across those threads yets. I purchased 2 of those strainers. I get my diesel and gas free. My brother's-in-law have a fuel transport business. They have a large diesel tank and gasoline tank where the drivers dump their overages. Both tanks have factory-style...

Greetings once more. Tractor runs great and I appreciate the help and tips. Man, this is one fine "mower". Can't even imagine having one from brand new and taking good care of it. Keeps me busy mowing 2 very large yards. The tach works fine but no other gauges, idiot lights, etc are...

Received WSM and operator manual. My only intent for the tractor is as a mower. The operator manual had pretty much nothing regarding the mower deck. The WSM appears to have enough info regarding leveling, etc of the deck. Picked up only 1 gallon of the UDT fluid for topping off if necessary...

Fantastic. Yep, the vise grips were loosely on the deck shaft. Tightened well and indeed discovered the deck needs to be elevated to adjust its 1/4" increments. Hope to make it function without the grips but for now, better than nothing. The air filter was acceptable and went ahead and removed...

Thank you. Luckily after posting, I went looking and quickly landed on that site. Download 3 PDFs. I believe that video I watched would have indeed shown that "fix" to have been on an adjustable friction - type mechanism. This one has the same 2-nut mechanism. Will soon find out if that takes...

Greetings all. Newbie here. Recently began using my deceased FiL's Kubota BX1870 to mow my MiL's yard. Close to 2 acres. Love the diesel, hydraulic deck, power steering, and 4wd. Good enough speed. Just a tad slower than my Z mower but more than good enough. Phenomenal fuel mileage. Believe it's...
