just an update, replaced the seal. the steps were easy, actually getting parts off was not. the collar had no wear to it and the o-ring was like new. the seal however came out in about 20 pieces. after pulling the old seal out i decided to go ahead and clean out the oil pan following kubotas...

thanks wolfman, and yeah i was including the shipping in the price. i am relieved that its a "simple" fix. not liking the idea of the possible cost of parts.... well better get started on taking the radiator/grill/hood off, not even going to question if its in the way or not.

so my ol girl started leaking oil out the front oil seal that is behind the crank pulley. after looking around i found the part N.O.S. for $15. the problem is i can not find information on how to change it. i'm jut lost with what to do, if its to much tare down i know there is alot of other...

take a rather long (preferably clear) section of hose stick it into the tank as far as you can and then place your thumb over the end, pull hose out (but not all the way) and place the end into a suitably sized container. after the hose no longer siphons. disconnect all your fuel lines from your...

the hydraulics on my ol girl used to work great (pick up the front of the tractor lifting with the 3pt kind of great) however i recently had to undo lines running down the side in order to replace my starter, and now my 3pt can barely lift my 5ft finish mower. i ran the 3pt up and down and up...

as i cant tell you with out a doubt that it is what the pump says, i can say i know what diesel used to feel like on your hands and what ULSD fuel feels like on your hands. and the stuff from this pump sure dose feel like the old stuff

well i went out today after she sat all night, decided to just start her and see what happens and she is back to her "normal" self. small bit of smoke when she starts then cleared right up and gray smoke you throttle up or put a load on. so i am thinking i may have added a bit to much oil and...

well just cleaned it today, she was beyond dirty. had sludge i had to scoop out of the bottom. used a whole can of break cleaner, just kept spraying till it came back out clear-ish. put it back together and put non-det sae30 in it, figure that would be the best dirt catching oil and also most...

so today i cleaned out my oil bath filter that clearly has not been done for some time as brown sludge is what came out. put it all back together and started the ol girl and she smoked like it was -20f but it was 60f. thought maybe some oil got sucked up in the motor so i let her run for nearly...

if it used to be straight 30 in the old days then likely that is what mine will take, the recommended lubrication types listed on the side of the tractor are as such... engine - #30 engine oil hydraulics - #140 turbine oil mission case - #90 gear oil the manual only list one other lubricant...

thanks for the replies, i did end up answering my own question when i looked it up on google. all except one thing, what oil do i use in the oil bath?

sorry if this has been gone over before but oil and air are to short for seaching. any-who i cant seem to find a replacement filter at all for this thing so is this thing a permanent filter that you just keep cleaning forever? also since all i can read of whats left to the label on it is...

i had to go back and look at your pictures to see what you were talking about (how did i not see that!). i myself have the issue of having something sticking out the front, currently its a chunk of concrete on a pole that was a sat dish post. literately just today picked up some suitcase weights :D

yeah bumps sure will slow you down, have a few spots that like to bounce me. and i think wolfman might be right... going off what i can see in the driveway picture looks like it would not hurt to drop a spacer. i learned the hard way on how low was to low, guy who owned my landpride before me...

looks good, and with each cut you will get more used to the handling and i bet before to long (depending) you just might get it all done withing an hr.

i currently have a pond scoop and back blade that works ok... was actually looking to get a plow, subsoiler, middlebuster or some thing of that nature to help break a path, then use my scoop to clear out a ditch.

alright, i got yeah now.... and i recall being told that before about running hard consistently. and yeah as for the drying out the ground that is a big to-do on the list. this section of yard used to be bone dry for years!!! but recently in the past 2-3 years it has had a creek start flowing...

mowing that grass like that was actually a one time thing. wasnt doing a whole lot at once just little sections (like the patch i was working on) also with holding the phone and steering i couldn't run the 3pt up and down like i was doing for the rest of it. also the problem with that "yard" is...

could you be a slight bit more specific as to what i am pushing to hard? the engine rpms or the amount of load i am applying?

uploaded another video, was pushing the limit of capability in this one. http://youtu.be/nR4WzVLeevU?list=UUpfb_UinuchDTRBOxtcKXqw
