I thought about noting that but didn't think it would be necessary. A bit of a different scenario I would say. (as in not in the filtered stream of flow) I see you edited as I was replying. Agree.

I believe this would be the first time I've seen a magnet in filtered oil flow. I think it would be preferred pre filter.

I'm failing to understand this. In an ordinary filter application oil flows from the outside of the filter element to the inside and exits the center hole. In this case past the magnet. Is the flow reversed in this application? How is this magnet "shared" when it is only in the inlet or output...

You can check the TSB and see if your 7060 S/N falls in affected range. Hope that's not your problem but suspect that it is. I briefly contemplated the backhoe attachment for my 7060 but figured it would be to inconvenient to operate. I have a BX with the backhoe but if I have something beyond...

Not a Kubota backhoe then? Attached is the PSB on the injector issue.

I believe WhiteTiger suggested it may be the known injector issue and I would agree it's likely the culprit, but I also don't know what effect your broken draft control could have, so I would get that fixed first to eliminate that possibility. You have learned the hard way why 3-point backhoes...

If the 900 is like my X2 it already has a starter relay under the seat, and there is also only one safety switch in the circuit. That is a great mod for tractors and mowers with multiple safety switches causing voltage drop. I have done that to a BX and a ZD.

Testing wire integrity with a test light is MUCH better than a resistance test. It can also help you locate a broken wire or intermittent connection by connecting the test light and then wiggling the harness while watching the light.

That's exactly how we used to fix coal mine haul trucks. When I was cleaning out my toolbox at retirement and going through my saved prints I ran across a print of the bushing we made. The tapered holes were bored out onsite and the bushing installed with an interference fit. A larger washer was...

Right you are. Blaming old age for my memory lapse!

That black ring may be an eccentric locking ring. Does it have a hole on the circumference? If it does, take a punch and hammer and try to get it to rotate on the shaft. If it won't turn one way, try the other way. I believe they are usually locked in the direction opposite of normal rotation...

That's what I did. Welded plate to extend down on the quick hitch frame with another set of holes for the 3-point arms and added a new bracket for the tractor top link.

I would probably replace the wiring harnesses rather than trying to repair. If repairing cut out any heat affected wire one at a time and replace with new wire of the same gage. I would solder and heat shrink the splices. Just taping up burned wiring is just asking for more troubles down the...

Having spent nearly 50 years in a machine shop I've done several repairs like that. We called it "staking" it. I don't recall any of them failing but some may have and never heard about it. I have even seen original equipment manufacturers use that method in some instances. Most recently in...

Just remember you have to test under load for a voltage drop test. Eric O. at South Main Auto youtube just had a voltage drop test video on an alternator that was interesting. Real world example.
