MORE UPDATE: After actually picking up my Kubota, I was told they did find a rodent-chewed ground wire they had to repair. I do not know if the wire was completely chewed into or not. In the past, rodents have also chewed the wiring on my '14 F150 which had completely shut the truck down. I...

Yep. Great old tractors the n-series were. Although I prefer the late 1950 to 1952 8Ns with the side distributor, I have owned over 40 of these guys (9ns, 2ns, 8ns) since retirement almost 25 years ago. I use to buy and sell them but age and the lack of patience has finally caught up to me...

Ha! I barely get telephone service out here in the "boondocks" of the Texas South Plains. The only persons who seem to know I'm out here is my post lady and the county tax appraiser. And with our unpaved road, I think the post lady would like to forget about me on bad weather days. Oh! And...

Yes Kubota did cover everything but the suction control valve R&R. However, it's still a significant bill. Live and learn, I guess.

Don't think he was suggesting that. I think he was just suggesting buying diesel from place who sells a lot of it and not our convenience store in a town of only 1200 folks who mostly drive gas rigs. The only other place close to me that sells a lot of diesel is our Coop.

After over a month of my 2019 Kubota L3901HST being in the shop we now learn it was a bad (or just stuck) suction control valve problem. Not covered under my warranties. My wallet says OUCH! My service manager says he has only seen this on the larger Kubotas. Unknown cause but he did...

I hope so but I'll let you know if it becomes a battle. I usually don't buy extra insurance on anything anymore unless it's required by law but I'm glad I did this time. :)

The shop seems to have had some problem even getting the fuel rail work covered under the normal emission warranty. It seems my extended warranty wasn't showing up with the serial number. I'm hoping we now have all that straightened out but I guess we'll see.

Will do Dan. With all this rain recently, I guess I'm lucky to have my old trusty 1951 Ford 8n that I can use to keep the weeds knocked down.

Yep. Luckily my regular Kubota warranties covered the fuel rail work but I'm hoping my Kubota 5-year extended warranty covers the controllers, or whatever it proves to be. And yes. I hate it when someone offers an online problem but never follows up their post with the eventual solution. I...

UPDATE: My problem still persists after fuel rail was changed out. One should note that only two codes were showing on the dashboard when the tractor was taken to the shop, e.g., P0087 and P2294 but 3 codes were found to be stored. Kubota shop manager now thinks it may be a problem with the...

My 2019 L3901HST (49 hours) is in the Kubota shop right now for its 50 hour servicing and for the P0087 trouble code. After I had cleaned the water separator and changed the fuel filter, I had thought rodents could have chewed a wire but the Kubota service manger is telling me he could not find...
