Darn was hoping that was not the case

So I hope this helps someone in the future. Since everything I could find about the timing Mark's even I the manual show them only visible from the back of the engine and mine has no inspection plug I brought the engine as close to tdc as I could by bumping it over and using a compression...

I have a B1550 hst-d and I'm having steering issues intermittently. Doesn't matter if the bucket is empty or what the rpm is at or if the tractor is hot or cold. Hydrolic oil is full and clean. Also doesnt matter what impliment is on the back or if it's in 2wd or 4wd. Has no power...

Thank you very much for the info. There decent priced also which is great!!! Have you noticed if they wear good for being a lower priced tire?

Are those 20.0x8-10 or 20.5x8-10?

Those are exactly what I'm looking for but I have scoured the net and havnt seen them. Did you find them online or from a tractor dealer?

I have read through the posts and been looking for what options there are for replacing the 20.5x8-10 front turf tires on my b1550hst-d. It is 4wd. The rear tires are 31x15.5-15 bar style turf so they have some traction. The fronts however are not aggressive what's so ever...

Will not be doing this again

Ok thanks I will look for the plug. Much appreciated

In the process of removing it still but wanted to put the engine on tdc before I went any farther

Some tire manufacturer needs to start making a 20.5x8-10 or a 205/65-10 in a traction tire. I bet they would sell since it seams there are still alot of these older kubota 4wd tractors around.

To adjust the valves the motor has to be on tdc for some and then a different place for the rest. Since I am doing a head gasket and going to have the head surfaced and will more than likely need the shim the valve clearance will be off when I reassemble so knowing where to access and find...

Does anyone know if you find the timing Mark's on the flywheel through the starter hole in the bell housing?

Trying to figure out the same thing. Do you find the timing Mark's through the starter hole?

We have a strait edge specifically for checking head and block surfaces at our shop. Do you know if the cast iron heads are very susceptible to warping? Thanks for the heads up on the oil passage o-ring. I ordered a kit from kubota so hopefully if it takes it it is included.
