As soon as I'm finished with the new house and shop I'm pulling the tank and replacing(or cleaning and coating) the rusty fuel filler pipe.

I never looked, but I'm fixing to look because it did it again yesterday. I'll post when I get it located and swapped out.

They stated they replaced the fuel filter. I put new filter on and the old filter was 15 hours old and showed clean when cut in half. They replaced the water separator screen. I had just cleaned it. I understand if it's a fuel issue you want everything 100% though. They said the screen was...

The dealer just called and said the machine is fixed. They said that there is a screen in the fuel pump that was clogged. I was unaware there was screen in the fuel pump. I did not see anything in the service manual or maintenance(operator) manual about it.

Will it hurt the engine if you spray the starting fluid on a rag and put the rag over the intake? I saw a mobile mechanic do that on my backhoe once.

Well, today marks two weeks my machine has been at the dealer. edit: Dropped it off on Monday morning 20 April 2020. They stated they started it and it ran for two hours so nothing is wrong. I told them they may have to dig a little deeper and do some actual trouble shooting since it has run...

Hopefully my dealer is more skilled at fixing them than giving advice on loading them, it's sitting at their shop waiting to be fixed.

Now you tell me! I went very light on the spray. Hopefully I didn't hurt it. Thanks for the tip!

whitetiger, I appreciate the reply. I didn't realize there were codes that wouldn't show up on the gauges. Thankfully I can get the machine to start to load it easily. I'll post up what the dealer figures out.

I have a 2015 Kubota SVL90-2 CTL. I purchased it used 3 years ago as a repo from the company that does Kubota financing. It had 1,100 hours and it and the dealer in Florida did the full 1,000 service for the finance company. The machine has always bee a little hard to start(cranks for a few...

I'm going to check this issue and trash in the fuel line going into/out of the water separator before I take it to the dealer. The dealer said to check them both before bringing it in. Thanks In case anybody need this in the future:

Thanks. I do have a shop manual.

Sand is an excellent idea. Thanks! I was also consider using some 2-3/8" pipe like rollers.

Hello, anyone in the Georgia area have a used 72"(or larger)skeleton/rock bucket for a skidsteer? I have a New stump bucket for trade or I will purchase outright.

Have you ever done this with a Kubota SVL90? I have the same issue that the OP had(Google lead me here). My dealer is saying there is no way to "free wheel" an SVL90. He states that it must be dragged up on a flatbed. I'd rather not drag the machine and risk tearing the tracks. They are...
