How old is the fuel in the tank? Hopefully you cleaned out the old fuel first and cleaned out all the lines running to the filters? May have plugged injectors. Believe that is a common rail electronic injection system. I'd remove the common rail to verify the quality of the fuel up at the...

Tom according to the link above that wrench will only go 600Ft Lbs on a good day. Believe the Amazon one is at the 8:30 mark in the above video. 500-600 depending on battery. Hopefully works for you but my Milwaukee wouldn't budge it.

BTW - Im a fan of the Torque Test Channel on You Tube. Before shelling out $$$ for that impact go see that site as he likely tested the impact your thinking of picking up. In general most no name tools on Amazon underperform badly. Just go into the purchase with knowledge and you may be...

I have a Lands Pride Bat Wing and it takes the same 1 11/16" socket to remove the nut. Yes you can remove the plastic covers to get to the other side. Just don't misplace the cover (ask me how I know). I used a 1/2" Drive Electric Milwaukee Impact and that nut just laughed at it. Mind you this...

How many hours are on it? Can't recall but believe this one has a DPF. Under load if the DPF is needing to be cleaned out it can cause all sorts of odd behavior. I'd check easy things like above (filters) but may be worth looking into hours run vs. what Kubota considers as max life and service time.

Sounds like an idler or belt issue. Loosten the outer belt and try again. If it goes away you know it was in that group. Appears you have two belts?

Or a kiddie pool. I use a kiddie pool for paint buckets as well when spraying big jobs. Sure makes clean up a whole lot easier.

Ive had the grapple sitting in the sun and it was impossible to connect the lines after the temperature built up some pressures in the system. I waited for it to cool off later and it went togther just fine. I could have burped the lines with a socket and a hammer but I just waited.

That and don't burn in windy or very dry conditions. I have been waiting nearly 8 months to burns some mesquite piles. I will use the grapple to get it all together. Mow around the pile nice and short. Like others said just use a shovel and rake to maintain things. I am lucky while running the...

Kubota settled on solid adjusters to maintain tension. Most automotive belts use spring loaded or hydraulic tensioners that tend to self adjust. The old school solid adjustment is simple but not necessarily maintenance free. Glad to hear it quieted up. Only downside to this method of tension...

I'd diagnose the no start a bit better. Getting a second opinion from a known expert on this model will be key. Loading up the parts cannon can be very expensive and ECM's are not going to be cheap. Was there any damage done to it recently? Animals chew into the wiring? A short circuit can take...

Believe those are running lights when the headlights are on. I have the M4D-071 as well and only ran the lights once in six months of ownership as I was mowing at sunset. I recall the lower lights were on. See also the pics here...

Glad you figured it out!

How tight were the brakes when you assembled it with the new diff? I had an older machine where the brakes tended to drag more going forward than reverse and an adjustment of the preload was able to fix that. Not saying you have the same issue but may be related. Any trouble with just rolling...

Ive had everything from a simple drip type filter and cup to a super automatic under intense pressure machine. The Super-automatic was OK but pricey. I used that machine for about 15 years and finally got tired of fixing/maintaining it every 6-9 months. I went cold turkey and back to a simple...
