Over the last couple of weeks, I have trouble starting the mower. Battery is fresh and charged. Starter engages and will turn the engine over, but no more than a partial revolution of the engine. If I repeat this process, several times the mower will eventually start. From my perspective, it...

Thanks to all who replied, and for your great ideas. Well, the 12VDC receptacle is only "hot" with the ignition on, so that will be a non-starter. I was thinking about connecting the charger pigtail to the positive lead to the starter, and a nearby ground, as "tthorkil" suggested. Before...

I've read several posts on the forum regarding connecting battery chargers to Kubota tractors, but have not found a discussion on this specific topic. I have a Deltran Battery Tender Jr that I plan to use to charge the battery on my BX 2370. Deltran makes a cigarette lighter adapter (part...

I have the new pump and I see what you mean by the rack and pin, but I see no place on the pump where springs could be attached. I have 3 pics of the pump that I would like to send but I have not been able to figure out how to add them to this reply. I will try sending in an IM to you.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I did not receive an e-mail alerting me about your last post, and I have "instant e-mail notification" selected. Now that I've read it, I will have to ask a couple more questions. Do I need to remove the covers to do the job? Will there be more than one spring...

Thanks, Wolfman; I have the diagram I think you're talking about. I believe it's the "Fuel Camshaft Group". I see the governor spring attached to the governor lever. Is the unattached end of this spring attached to some component in the injector pump, or just a projection on the bottom side...

Thanks again, Wolfman. One more question for you. One of the local Kubota mechanics who was kind enough to answer a couple of questions for me said he thought there was an "arm" attached to the bottom of the pump with a spring. He said to slowly lift the pump straight up (maybe that is the...

Thanks, Wolfman; your explanation of the function of the shims is correct. The shims retard or advance the time injection occurs in each cylinder. If you add a shim, the injection will occur 1.5 degrees later; if you remove a shim, the injection will occur 1.5 degrees earlier. When the shims...

Just purchased a new injector pump for my B6000. The adjusting shims are no longer available. If anyone on the forum has any knowledge regarding this installation, are the shim(s) reusable? If I don't disturb the shim(s), will the new pump be timed correctly after installation?

I've found one place that says they can repair it but don't know how much it will cost, but minimum charge is $300. That, plus my 2-way shipping costs will get the cost close to what an OEM Kubota pump would cost--$440.70, and it could cost more. They have to have the pump inhouse to complete...

Does anyone know if the injector pump can be repaired? On my parts diagram, the pump is shown as an assembly; no internals are shown.

I think you're probably correct. Do you recall how much you paid for the new pump?

I have a fuel leak at the fitting where the hard injector line is attached to the injector pump. All fittings at the injector pump are tight--none could be budged. According to my parts diagram, there are no gaskets/o-rings at these fittings, so must be flared nut type seal. It appears to be...

Thanks for the quick reply, G-Man. When I change blades tomorrow, I think I will rig the axle for pivot.

I've owned my ZD 326 for 4 years and have always used it with the front axle rigid. I was wondering what the reasons are for allowing it to pivot. Thanks
