It was just too hot. Around 100 degrees, no wind, and roasting sun. More of the same today.

I'm pretty sure this is the exact same part.

I have good news about push rivets, also called trim clips, and I am here to post it for others. Of course, being the person I am, I had an unused trim tool assortment in my shop, so I got it out and popped a rivet out of the mower's deck gearbox lid. The rivet came out just fine. The hole...

Thanks for the help. I am looking for that tool online. Speaking of push rivets, Kubota charges over two dollars each, and I need quite a few. That's a lot of money for a bunch of parts that probably cost 5 cents each to make and ship to dealers. I'm trying to find out if they can be reused...

Listen, my children, and I will tell you how to fix the infernal built-in jack on your Kubota ZD326. The jack was one of the main reasons I wanted a Kubota. I figured it would make blade changes much easier. Then I bought a used Kubota with a jack that was nearly frozen. No problem. I would...

Thanks for the help. I have found that the canned Rust-Oleum tractor paint dries very hard, flat, and shiny. I'll post a photo of a project I used it on. Unfortunately, it doesn't mask imperfections in hot-rolled steel.

I am considering painting the ROPS on my ZD326. It has some areas where someone scraped the paint off. I guess I am messing up the bargain I got when I bought it. I keep wanting to pretty it up and fix unimportant things. I bought new pedal covers. Is there anything special about Kubota ROPS...

This could be Obama or even late Bush fuel. I have no idea. My impression is that the owner was too lazy to use both tanks, so he ran the right one dry over and over. If so, it suggests he didn't use it all that often. No intelligent person wants to fill one tank over and over when he can fill...

I will remove it from the mower, look inside with an otoscope, try to clean it out if needed, beat on it, and blow air through it. If I have to take it apart, I will. If all this doesn't work, I'll put a big patch of Velcro on the tractor seat and buy some Velcro pants. It's remarkable that...

I am thinking this over. Crud in the lines can't be the problem, because most of the time, the flow is good. If the lines were obstructed, the mower would always be slow. That means there has to be crud in the fuel itself. The fuel itself must be the issue. Based on my experience with 8V71's...

Some guy on Ebay is trying to sell a used belt for $200. That vintage patina doesn't come free.

This is Clear-Diesel: https://powerservice.com/psp_product/clear-diesel-fuel-tank-cleaner/

Thanks. That's the Harbor Freight thing I was talking about. I may have to try it.

Whitetiger, I can't thank you enough for pointing that out. I must have been crazy, thinking seat belts would be on the seat page. Now that I look back on it, I realize how ridiculous that was. I found the seat belt, and it's about $109. Maybe I should look for the part I need instead of a...

Mowed the yard today, and the left tank eventually quit. I guess the diesel boogers were too much for Clear-Diesel.
