I know it is weird to hear, but having a higher float allows more contact between the float and the fuel, keeping the needle pushed up. Also, a float angled down to much can allow fuel to splash up on top of it, pushing it downward.

If I were mowing that much weekly, I'd get the biggest/fastest setup I could afford, if the tractor doing the mowing could be used for other things. Otherwise, I'd just stick with what I had if I couldn't find a use for the bigger machine. I mow twice that, but only twice a year or so.

Another possible dumb question. Do your gauges have the connectors that snap on and open the schrader valve for you, or do you have the type of connectors that require you to screw the valve open? After pulling a vacuum and introducing freon into the low side, you should see the high side...

Try raising the float, instead of lowering.

Siphon out a few gallons to get below 3/4 tank and see what happens. Do you know if your outlet on the tank is at the bottom or is there a pickup tube that drops in from the top? If there is a pickup tube, and it still doesn't run with less than 3/4, I'd stick a camera in there and make sure...

Sounds like it is icing up to me too. The lack of flow when it happens, confirms it. The faster turning compressor while the engine is at PTO speed will pull the lower side down more than it would at idle. I'd put an ounce or two in it and see what happens. It wouldn't be the first time I've...

Do you have the right adapter for the newer R134A cans?

https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/adapters-and-fittings/steel-adapters/sae-o-ring-boss-orb/6400/6400-04-12 I won't bother this thread with any more price checks, but you can see with this one fitting, half the price from Hydraulics Direct.

Here is a picture from a skid steer that I purchased. They left the cabin air filter out.

You won't find Wix at Napa anymore. Unless there is some old stock left over. That is why I had to order from Rock Auto, as no one nearby carries them. For my tractor, it was nearly $50 cheaper for each inner/outer filter. As for everyone else commenting, I would run a cheap cabin air...

If you haven't bought any hoses yet, here are two that I have bought from and have had great results. https://www.universalhoseandfittings.com/ https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/

I go to wixfilters.com and cross the Kubota number to find a Wix number. Because most of the local parts stores don't sell Wix filters anymore, I order from RockAuto.

With the valve cover off, bar/turn the engine over and make sure all of the valves (especially exhaust) are opening the same amount.

I personally don't do anything with it until the machine gets power washed. I do like keeping things cleaned and I wash more often than most people, just not enough that I don't get some grease accumulating.

Glad I wasn't the only one that saw that.
