    Advice on buying Kubota to replace old Cub Cadet?

    Yes the Kubota gr2020/21 does have a reverse safety system. I just press the button when I first engage the mower. I need to frequently use reverse so this prevents me from stalling out when I backup/reverse ( set it & forget it )

    GR 2120 Contaminated Fuel tank ? (UPDATED)

    Why, if there should arise such an issue I can always drain the tank (remove the drain fitting) . I don't see any significant issues developing as a result of this modification. Unless you have a burning desire to donate to my GR2021 $2,300 USD

    GR 2120 Contaminated Fuel tank ? (UPDATED)

    I keep my motorcycle(MC) stored along with my tractor. The gasoline in my MC will sit for 6 months and has never been a problem. Diesel fuel is far more stable and can last considerably longer (in storage). This tractor is over 8 years old and been stored in the exact same manner as ever...

    Kubota Engine 3 Cylinder D722 this is in my Onan Generator

    .. Cyl #1 is the cyl. that closest to the fan. You only need to slightly loosen the inj B-nut. If you remove the line and crank the eng. you risk ingesting air into the pump. Simply loosen the inj. B-nut as you crank the eng. Once you see fuel sputtering out ...then tighten the b-nut. Then...

    Kubota Engine 3 Cylinder D722 this is in my Onan Generator

    As for the fuel delivery problem.. Have you verified "positive fuel delivery" to the #1 injector ? With the battery at a full charge... using a 17MM wrench and crack open the #1 B-nut at the injector and then crank the eng. to see if you have fuel sputtering at the B-nut. Then continue with inj...
