Best place to purchase air & hydraulic filters is Orange tractor parts I just purchased a suction and return filters for about $39.00 each that includes S&H, Talk to Tracy Stocker 877 809 5565 . For engine/fuel Amazon works for me. Get a work shop manual for your ex will help a lot. Also change...

If you are concerned about hydraulics having it lift itself is not a good test, have a tech put a gauge on it to see if its within specs. If digs and lifts full buckets with no effort it should be ok. With only 1800 hrs it should be fine. Check out log book of PO for hydraulic filters hr change...

Ebay has Kats 11407 1" NPT screw in block heater for a good price for those looking to install now is the time. Seller is " truck-trailer-direct" they don't have a pic on there listing but its the same as all the other Kats 11407 pics listed. Got mine for $18.00 S & H included with "make an offer"

I've found Big orange parts to have the best prices and service, give Tracy Stocker a call I found him very helpful. just made an order out for pins & bushings.S&H included ,The stuff I ordered was not off the dealer shelf and was told by local dealer it would take about 2 weeks, Big Orange had...

I think you will. But to get the best info from excavator experts to: www.heavyequipmentforums.com/forumdisplay.php?49-Excavators After you get the valve fixed check/replace filters on suction and return lines. Let us know how you get it repaired, good luck and thanks

I had same problem also in summer the plastic quart bottle i put mine 50/50 mix got about 50% larger. Put it in metal can and shake before using , not as handy was rattle can with pipe to get into tight locations...its not used as much.

Well done! Do you have any pictures to post? I was planning a water heater on my D1105 engine so would be nice to see your install . Thanks.

Paul, Thanks for good info ,now I have a question if a seal is leaking is it ok just to replace the seal? My excavator drips in summer when warm on the arm cylinder... cylinder works just great. Hate spending $200.00 for a Kubota seal kit if I can get by with just a seal. just to confirm a wiper...

My excavator has same problem, normal operation for it is on "C" , Seems like after the first year or so Kubota would note that they might be having a temp gauge reading problem but this has gone on for years. and replacing sender/gauge is a waste of money/time.

With only 12 hrs you should have no need for this tool,as other posts stated it will work for old caked or hard to fill zerks. Adding fluid could be considered normal if it was a cold day when you checked it, temp will cause fluid to vary. If you have no leaks and if you fill to top on cold...

Now's the time for a set of manuals. I think its in your valve bank. when you move the joy stick it controls a valve in the valve bank which moves a hydraulic cylinder . So to keep it simple if you have hydraulic pressure (which you have since machine moves) Something has failed in control...

I was talking to local Kubota dealer about rebuilding engines..."they do not rebuild in house" Was told it was about $2500-3000 for the D1105 for new eng from kubota with warranty . How does that compare with a local rebuild?

IF you just rebuilt the ram you may have air in system. you need to bleed off air.

I do understand what you are saying, but there are times when you can not see the thumb or cylinder flex such as when picking up a load of brush,limbs etc. Did talk to local dealer and they said the thumb should be set 200-300 lbs less than bucket pressure that would allow the bucket to over...

Never have blown a hose.. so far. But I have bent a bucket pin, the pressure to thumb should be less than bucket. the bucket should over power the thumb. Not so much changing the oil as the filter its a tight fit best to remove some of the shields to get to it. Keep porcupines away from it they...
