Clean, relatively clear oil.

Thanks. It is a hydrostatic transmission, so no clutch. There is oil leaking from it. Where would the oil be coming from?

What is this? Why Do I need it? Why is it leaking? How do I fix it?

No worries, I’ll just spray it with wd-40 every couple of mows, that should keep it from seizing up. lol!!!

Thanks for all the feedback. I will make that purchase.

Funny you should ask. I found a guy in Kansas City that is a kubota Frankenstein engine business (head from one bad engine combines with block from another, etc) that sold me a used but tested excellent engine for $3800 shipped. I finished installing it today and will be adding fuel and trying...

Just bought my first rotary mower. It is an older Massey Ferguson. It is missing the gearbox and Pto driveshaft. In doing my research on those two components I learned about Pto clutches that can be installed along with the driveshaft. I then saw something about the Kubotas having a built in...

I just bought a Massey Fergusson 1510 6' Rotary Mower that is missing the gearbox and the pto shaft. Does anyone have a parts manual available for this mower or know where I can get one for free?

No, still in the machine. I have family in sandpoint and I have a pesky day job trip over there to Albani Falls Dam in a month.

So...If I pulled the engine and delivered it to you my cost would be $5k?

Our quotes came in closer to $10k

I have a Kubota 121-3ss (serial number xxx) that appears to need a new engine. We had smoke and high engine oil use as the main symptoms. A mechanic came out and found the air intake line between the air filter and the intake had broken, and we have been sucking raw dusty air into the engine...

Some unsolicited advice....lol When I am first getting after a driveway I drop the rippers and tip the land plane forward a bit so the rear blade is out of play. After a few passes you have broken up the compact gravel a few inches deep. Then raise the rippers and adjust the land plane so it...
