    2846A discharge chute rotate

    Raymond Lopez Thanks I was supremely ignorant. I have a bad habit of using my tablet. When I looked at the parts tree I had to zoom in. With small screen did not see the large gear and set screws. Got it together and have been using it the last two days. It’s a great machine...

    2846A discharge chute rotate

    Update I bought a new "actuator" from the dealer. The gear on the new vs old can be seen in the attached photo. I opened the box at the dealer to see what the gear on the new actuator looked like. Showed him the picture of my hardware. He put the parts illustration up on the big screen. With...

    2846A discharge chute rotate

    Chim Thanks very much that makes sense. Very well done and clear First, connect the light between the wires illustrated in red and black coming from the switch to the motor. Do this with both switch positions. It should light both times. Next, test between the red and a known ground as in...

    2846A discharge chute rotate

    No real good news on chute rotator. Just more questions. In the beginning, as described tested chute rotation after snowblower was installed. Went one direction then the other once and STOPPED. No obvious reason. FWIW included picture of wiring "under the hood" Checked there no problems found...

    2846A discharge chute rotate

    I bought a used 2846A back in the spring. It was in the barn until recently. I brought it out to do maintenance and mount on GR2120. Prior to, I took the GR out to the barn, plugged in the electric discharge rotate connector. It worked, I was happy. After cleanup, maintenance and install I...

    GR2120 front bracket attach

    Problem solved the bolt head in the picture was the problem. The bolt attaches a bracket with sheet-metal shield around the exhaust. There is a hole in the sub frame, zoom you can see it. Once I removed the bolt the sub frame went right on and pin went right thru. I didn't analyze the...

    Getting ready for "la Nina" La Ninia winter is coming. Wanted to get ready. this is the 1st time for me to install one I am having trouble getting holes aligned for the retainer pin. It almost seem that I need to connect the lift cylinder and go to one end or the other of the travel. It...

    Snowblower Chain

    chim I had the same thought. But I tried an industrial bearing/chain supply house. Hoping that like you they would cut the necessary length from bulk. Not to be, the were willing to order a 10' roll. Seemed like a good idea just didn't work out.

    Snowblower Chain

    FWIW I gathered some information re the chain specification for a Kubota GR2120 snow blower The original is an "O" ring chain. Understandable given the usage scenario. The other practical aspect is... I can buy the chain, but it comes in ten foot rolls. Not at all practical for just on ~20"...

    Snowblower Chain

    I am preparing for snow season. I bought a used GR2846A snowblower this spring. I am checking things over in advance Now for the question. On line a replacement chain (39 links of #40 chain) from Kubota or others lists for $60-65. If I could by 39 links of#40 and a connector link for 1/3 of...

    GR2120 hydraulic screach

    I did some mowing today. I had the mesh screen in front of the operator platform removed. With the mesh removed I could better see feel what was going on. As is usual no noise when I started. When I was finishing the screech was there when the deck topped out. With the mesh out of the way I...

    GR2120 hydraulic screach

    RK thanks for the suggestion. I knew there was some sort of up stop. Looked in the manual and the machine, Manual says the bolt head in the pictures is intended to make contact with the fame. 2 things. 1, not close to frame 2, the bolt installed in the deck would, in my estimation, never come...

    GR2120 hydraulic screach

    After running it for a while, when I lift the mower deck I get a horrible screeching noise right behind the dashboard. No noise when cold (first starting) On the way up no problem, but as it gets to the top it starts the screeching noise. Don't know if others have this experience or if its a...

    Determining a tractor's age

    If you really want to know year, you will need to take the serial number to a dealer where they can look up the sale date. I saw a lot of responses. But actual question was When did Kubota start using the 17 digit VIN? I have a serial number. Not really a VIN, if I knew when Kubota went to...

    Determining a tractor's age

    When did Kubota go to the 17 digit VIN? I have been curious about my GR2120. Will the information in the attached images give clue. I cant get a good image of the SN on the engine block. Didn't know if information on emission sticker would have anything of value. Even could older than could be...
