Amazing. Thank you.

Thanks everyone for all the input and suggestions. I’ll be honest, I have zero confidence doing any electrical testing myself (wires, fuses, different meter settings, etc.). I’m going to watch some more YouTube videos and try to get a better handle on it. On the alternator, a friend said he...

Ahh, thanks for the correction. Yep, my understanding was backwards. The digital copy of the manual I downloaded does not have anything on the KRA system. I'm hopeful an alternator is easy to replace. Would an aftermarket work alright...

Just tested when running... 12.1 V - 12.3 V Any ideas what I should do? Just watched some youtube.. most say it's likely the voltage regulator or stator. I don't even know where those things are. For my machine KRA doesn't seem to be on when I start it up. If I do not push the red button, when...

Installed a new 51R battery a couple months ago (tested well over 12.6 V straight from the store). Left in storage with terminals disconnected. Mowed first cut of the season yesterday: Before first cut: 12.52 V – started fine After ~1 hr: 12.43 V – hard to restart After 3 hr total cut...

Anyone have any tips to take the damn hose off the bottom of the coolant recovery tank? I'm pressing the clamp together and pulling on the hose with a lot of force, twisting, etc.. hasn't budged a millimetre. Even worth the trouble to take out the last half cup of coolant? Driving me nuts...

I suppose I could try drilling it and tapping it out. If I mess it up, then just J-B Weld it? Not sure which JB product to use.. J-B Weld Extreme Heat Metalic Repair Paste makes sense to me. Relative that owns the mower is a retired widow who does not want to end up purchasing a new mower...

Makes sense. Will massive problems eventual happen because I won't be able to flush things out completely?

I'm pretty sure it has been like this for like 10 years. When I touch the area it is moist. I remember topping the coolant slightly last summer and it was fine. But yeah, if the pressure breaks through the rust then tons of damage will happen. Feels like I'm damned if I try to fix it and...

Alright well, I'm pretty freaked out that I may mess this up with an ez out. I have no experience using them. Appreciate all the advice. Guess I'll just drain what coolant I can and put new 50/50 stuff in.

Ah boy, this does sound tricky I linked to the part in my previous msg, not sure what material it is: https://messicks.com/parts/kubota/15841-73020

Oh I see, theres a hole in the middle. Wouldn't a screw extractor do the job? https://messicks.com/parts/kubota/15841-73020

HEHE.. it's not leaking. I prefer to just leave it, but I'm worried it won't be a proper flush unless I take it out. Think it's possible it'll cause problems if its not flushed properly? I never extracted a bolt before.. but it seems easy enough: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dCqU1LgsJfU

Yeah I'm worried I can't do a proper flush if I don't take this out.

Hey all, Never changed the coolant on my relative’s G2160 mower, and the drain cock plug just broke off. I want to flush the radiator with water before adding fresh coolant—will the broken plug cause any issues with that? Thanks!
