    SVL 95-2S Short block source

    Thank you sir. It looks like I will be divorcing myself from Kubota after 61 years, and just liquidate my tractor, skid steer and related implements. Kubota has really gone down hill recently. Very disappointing. Probably go Mahindra or John Deere. But still need to repair the V3800 engine...

    SVL 95-2S Short block source

    I had the entire engine overhauled by my Kubota dealer, and when they went to return it to me, the engine started knocking. They returned it to me in disrepair. I pulled the head off and rhe cylinders on the new block are damaged. I started the engine and it sounds like the rods are not even...

    Where can I purchase a new or remanufactured short block for a 2017 Kubota SVL 95-2S V3800?

    This is true. I spent a lot of time documenting everything to a Kubota rep on the phone. Afterwards, she said it would not be referred to Kubota management, but only sent to the dealer. She did provide me a complaint number. it appears that Kubota designed a Tier 4 engine to be EPA emissions...

    I have no idea what the dealer and their mechanic did. I told them I wanted it repaired correctly. Every step of the way, I purchased what they advised. It started as an emissions issue and then kept going until I basically purchased a new engine, part for part. The dealer has be over a...

    Thank you for this advice. Finding the Kubota factory representative will not be easy when Kubota and their dealer are non cooperative. I will push on. Thank you sir.

    Thank you for this information. I paid for all the parts, the dealer did all the work and testing. The dealer mechanic was on the phone and txt with the Reimer technician while doing whatever they do to make adjustments. This is an off road engine. I was told it was exempt. If you know the...

    The dealer only suspects that the engine ran lean. It’s easy for them to point the finger at Reimer Tuners. The dealer admitted that the head gasket was installed wrong by their mechanic. Can an internal coolant leak cause cylinder damage if the engine was only run for a few hours at the...

    I totally agree. I contacted Kabota USA, in Grapevine, Tx. and they told me it was between me and the dealer. Kubota USA will not help. I may go to Kubota Global. To the point of the other post, I would have expected my Kubota dealer to advise me of their Federal restrictions to modify a...
