A few years ago on this forum somebody suggested Rustoleum Chevrolet engine orange, I tried it and the match was spot on. Had trouble finding it but not since we got a Menards they have it all......

I bought a used B-3350 2016' about 4 to 5 yrs. ago and I did like so many others and not checked it out , I mean it's a Kubota what could be wrong. I've owned their products for over 40 years .. Well a couple of months after getting it the problems started, I won't go into the details...

I've adjusted the brake on my ZD21, just followed the details in the manual, in fact I think I've adjusted it twice in the 18 years I've owned it. Without consulting the manual I couldn't tell you how to do it but I remember it being simple to do.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news or a negative Nancy but just got my ZD21 out of the shop last Friday, I had similar problems the dealer advised he has done several of these and that Kubota has a drop in program for these where they replace the entire assembly and it adds an...

Nice Job, trailers in Ky. only require licenses when they are towed by a Co. vehicle with the name on the truck, other than that they are free. About 40 years ago I came up with a 50 gal barrel and have fuel delivered. A few years ago I got a farm permit ( no taxes ) and my fuel man...

I don't know if yours will be in the same place as mine (B-3350 w/ cab ) but it is under the right side floor board maybe 4" to 6" back from the pedal pivot. You really can't miss it except that is is among a bunch of control rods , you can see it but hard to get tools in there to work on it.

The foot pedal switch mentioned does go bad, I just had to replace it on my 3350 last summer ! Switch was like $80.00 and was it ever a bear to replace . I had the exact same symptoms you do only I would replace the fuse and it might start but as soon as I tried to move it it would blow...

lugbolt, Thanks for the info, I was going to change the oil and filters this weekend in fact I picked up the stuff at lunch. Then thought more about it and after reading what you posted it's going to be a waste of expensive oil and filter so I'm just going to load it up and take it...

When you said you replaced the PTO clutch, was that the clutch for the mower? If so I have to wonder how that affects the wheel drives.....

I already replaced the balancer , it might need more flux...... I have always only used super UDT 2 and Kubota filters. I am about 8 months late on changing the oil . I have noticed it seems better when it's not fully warmed up or when I am on fairly level ground. As for more...

My ZD-21 with 742 Hrs is having a problem with the right side drive , any ideas ?

OK, I understand, do the ends droop where they are connected ? Or is it not enough to matter ?

Repair, I appreciate the info but have a question , why did you go with a pin hole on the cylinder ends instead of clevis ends ? I would think they would work better .

If you are referring to a top link cylinder I did that on my L-185 40 years ago and worked great, I have since moved it over to my B-3350 and would not trade it for the world. Especially when using a scraper box, I can adjust the teeth to dig as much or as little as required from the seat.

I really like what you have come up with and want to do it to my B-3350 . Can you advise what the dimensions are on the cylinder and where you got it and the orifice's ?
