Unfortunately the tractor is coming up on 3 years old ... so I will probably get Kubota to take a look ... I have so many things to sort out this time of year that if I start working on it will take months .... months I do not have. Painful $$$s. I will make sure the techs take pictures of the...

I removed the brush cutter. Tractor end of the PTO Shaft spins freely. I did adjust the slip clutch in the spring but probably should check it more often. Thanks.

Was using brush cutter with slip clutch. Hit a small tree stump and carried on for about 30 feet and cutter stopped spinning. Check PTO shaft on tractor and it spins freely. No grinding or metal on metal when I spin but I do hear a slight noise from a bearing. Any thoughts about issue before...

I keep the tractor in an equipment shed that is open on 2 sides but I am not sure that the cold/ice is the cause. I have noticed that it has been progressively getting harder to move for the last month (above freezing temperatures) but really came to a head after moving a big dump of wet snow...

Loader boom/bucket lever is very stiff when raising boom and bucket. Started about 10 hours ago (1100 hrs on tractor) and has been getting progressively worse with movement being slow/hard to engage and will not release without manually moving the lever/joystick. When the boom and/or bucket do...

Looking for help to sort out how to add work lights using existing wiring. In attached photo you will see a set of wires not used. I have gone through the WSM electrical diagram and I cannot figure out how to energize them. Do I need to add a new switch or is it a fuse issue or it some other...

Thanks. I am going to stay the course and replace the ballast.

Right as rain. The c-clip was covered with grease and dirt.
