Ed, nice job explaining this to the forum. There really is no free lunch!

Greetings!, I will look for the pics but this was posted a long time ago. I'm not sure I have them. Also, you should be aware the the repair did not last. I mowed 4 acres and the unit failed after about 8-10 mowings. What was worse, was the failed pump sent filings throughout the system. I...

Old post but for those still looking: Also, I have 4 hoses with four ports. The Chute rotation uses the top and bottom two ports on the right (looking from the front). The lift ram uses the other two ports. The big thing to remember is the detent for fast dump mode must be pushed through...

Dave, I just wanted to let you know that I haven't tried swapping hoses yet due to the shoulder replacement surgery. I'm 11 days out and could not be happier withe the surgery. However, I cannot use the muscles required to push in the connecters. I Ned another week or so of healing.

Dave, Thank you for the reply. Basically that really sucks. I also have a very bad shoulder and pushing thru the detente kills me with sharp stabbing pain. I have a new shoulder coming this Friday which will solve that problem (once I recover) but the detente will probably be a problem for my...

Greetings, I have a Grand L4330 with a front mount snowblower. I purchased the tractor used in the fall of 2019. I used it all winter and in the spring, I purchased a loader for the tractor. When they installed the loader there was no float to the loader. I called the dealer and they said...

Greetings All, I have an L4330 with cab and AC. While replacing the Hood/Bonnet support I found the condenser has many fins broken out. Probably 10-20%. Maybe a bit more. Anyway, I thought I would just replace the unit but was shocked to see a price of, wait for it, $977! Ouch! Any...

Thanks for the replies. I kind of figured that would be the case. I will check with my dealer on Monday. I figured if anybody knew of a way I would find them here!

Greetings All, I have come across a store of Kubota parts for several zero turn machines. Does anyone know of a way to put in the part number and find the machine(s) it is used on? I have looked at many sites with a part number look-up but none of them provide the bigger information of what...

A little late but welcome to OTT! I just saw your post and thought I would endorse everything said earlier. I have a ZD28 and my brother has one just like it. Anyway, I have done quite a bit of major repair and may be able to help if you get into trouble. There are many on here better...

Not so much force coolant into the injector the wrong way but, maybe bent the pintle causing the injector to perform poorly. The whole thing smacks of injector trouble. Looking forward to hearing the final result. Good luck!

As far as I know, drawbars are usually hardened steel. Try West Kentucky Tractor Parts for a used one.

It'll be interesting to see what they have to say! Sometimes I begin to wonder it is worth it to spend the big bucks for the quality machines because parts are soooo expensive. :(

Could anyone tell me if the torque specs for the head bolts are the same for the D1305 engine in a ZD331 as they are for the D1105 in the ZD28? Also, is the torquing sequence the same? Thanks in advance, Dave
