    Seat Switch Alternative

    I could only find a part number on the unit with the housing assembly and that matched. However, for the switch itself, both are made by Delta Systems and they appear absolutely identical.

    Seat Switch Alternative

    One additional note. If the switch housing assembly is still intact, you can replace just the switch with Stens part #430-413. It too is identical to the original switch and can currently be found for ~$14.

    Plowing gravel driveway. Seeing tricks using PVC pipe or wood base - looking for lessons learned

    After trying every trick I could find online and having little to no success, Im back to running the mushroom skids set to roughly 1.25" below the bottom of the plow edge. I also dont use float mode, but rather set the plow on the ground and give it one or two small bumps up.

    Seat Switch Alternative

    While mowing this past Thursday, the operator presence switch (seat switch) on my 6 year old LX2610HSD began acting a bit sketchy. Given its age and the rough terrain that I mow, I determined that a replacement was in order. After a bit of research, I was able to identify that Kubota part...

    LX2610/RCK60-30BB Broken Rear Link

    Honestly, I just replaced the parts without going to the dealership. I do agree that it is most likely a manufacturing defect though and the replacement parts are quite expensive for what they are.

    LX2610/RCK60-30BB Broken Rear Link

    Yeah, everything was adjusted correctly. I also have the extended stops on the deck and ensure the lower three point hitch arms are not below level with the deck installed. All that I can think of is that something was defective with that specific part.

    Help removing mower deck hardware

    I cannot help with the right rear as I do not have a backhoe and have plenty of room back there. However, the front links are held in with a pin that has a washer and cotter pin towards the middle of the tractor. Also, make sure to get the spacer bushings for the rear before reinstalling your...

    LX2610/RCK60-30BB Broken Rear Link

    If anyone else has this happen, you will also need to purchase two K5763-51282 bushings that go inside the eyelet up front. I tried beating the hell out of them, but mine wouldn't come out.

    LX2610/RCK60-30BB Broken Rear Link

    Unfortunately, I do not have a good answer for that. However, in the ~5 years that I have used the tractor for mowing, I have never used them. For reference, they are roughly 4-5" inside of the rear links on the LX2610. Possibly to pin up the deck if needed?

    LX2610/RCK60-30BB Broken Rear Link

    The left side of the linkage is connected properly. The right (near) side linkage snapped where it connects to the pin in the front. The eyelet is actually still around the pin above it, but the bar itself snapped. Guessing it may have been a bad weld, but want to make sure Im not missing anything.

    LX2610/RCK60-30BB Broken Rear Link

    Came across this when I was cleaning the deck this morning. Anyone know what could have caused a rear link to snap? I didn't hit anything with the deck and have already ordered a replacement part, but would like to prevent it from happening again.

    $16K repair bill

    I recall when I purchased my LX2610 in 2020 that they informed me that KTAC was only valid until the loan was paid off. Not saying that I agree with the policy, but my dealer at least made me aware of it.

    Did you try tapping the relay with the handle of a screwdriver a few times?

    How to repair a cut in R4 Tire Tread ???

    I agree that the tread cut appears to be minor and not something that will ultimately compromise your tire. If it bothers you, clean out the sliced area and apply an adhesive you feel will do the job. In the event that it fails down the road, shrug it off and continue to tractor on.
