Now that it’s getting cold, you really don’t want to leave it idling. You can get fuel wash down in the cylinders as the engine cools down. Even warming the engine up in cold weather should not be done at idle. Get the rpm’s up to warm it up.

I would say it would would fall to the east or south without help. A tractor will help guide it but I have seen trees that size drag a tractor and fall away from the direction of pull. Look on Youtube for videos of falling a tree using a hydraulic jack. That will give you a good idea of how to...

I bought a pair of LED work lights about 4 x 6 inches and mounted them on top of the turn signal lamps (there’s a hole on top of My 7040 light brackets) and then used crimp bullet connectors to connect to the factory harness. The switch is on the lights so I can use one or both.

I had the same problem on my M7040. I shimmed the front seat where it bolts to the tractor and solved the problem. It tilted the seat bottom up in front and I no longer feel like I’m going to slide off.

By fuel filter, are you talking about the spin on filter or the water separator with the glass bowl? You probably have a clogged line in the system. You should probably change the filter (spin on) if you haven’t already done that. If the filter is new, you have to start looking for an...

The 7060 wiring diagram I just looked at showed the T/M circuit going from the fuse the the Neutral Safety Switch. From the T7M Safety Switch it goes to pin 3 of the PTO Safety Relay. If the T/M Neutral Safety Switch is shorting internally, it will blow the fuse. I would check the connector...

Wood chipper. Hydraulic feed. Manny, What hydraulic line is feeding the chipper?

If you haven’t ordered the cable, NAPA stores usually carries cables in stock. Take your old one in so you get the right length. The ones I ve bought there are well made cables and much cheaper than OEM.

99harleykins, It’s on the bottom of the tank on the left side. J B Weld makes something called water weld that will seal fuel tanks, etc. it will seal, plastic, metal, etc. You could press this around the nut to lock it in place and go from there. It is epoxy so once it sets up you should...

Thanks, Wolfman. Good catch.

Check your fan belt, your radiator cap may be bad, clean the air filter. Don’t laugh at the air filter check. I’ve read where a severely clogged air filter has caused Kubotas to overheat. Oil level ok, oil weight ok, fan shroud in place with no cracks.

Have you cleaned the radiator screen behind the seat? Blown through the radiator fins? My ZD21 actually runs cool unless that screen is dirty. How about the thermostat? Any bubbles in the coolant indicating the head gasket didn’t seal?

Sounds like you are not getting fuel to the injectors. I assume you have fuel in the tractor. Have you changed the fuel filter? Is there a lot of debris or water in the bowl? By start completely, is it trying to start but just won’t fire all the way up? You can disconnect the line from the...

Have you checked looked Inside the turbo to see if you have oil there? If the turbo seal is leaking, it will give you lots of blue smoke. The seal could be failing and that’s why you lose power as it warms up.

Agree.
