How do I open this to fix it? No screws. #Kubota_winning

We had a storm, so I finally bit the bullet and found a way to run a hot wire to my rear remote "kit." When I got to the fuse box, I had a problem. Some genius at Kubota put a big fuse box in this tractor, but he only included enough conductors to accommodate 4 fuses. Saved Kubota at least 7...

My ZD326 appears to have crud in the left tank or the lines that go to and from it. It's hard to get a siphon to the bottom. Is there some clever way to drain it? I was thinking I would detach the return line and pump it out that way, but the fuel would have to go through both filters to get...

The more I learn about machinery, the more I realize I do not want emissions gadgets, a computer controller, or any similar electronic junk. People say these contraptions are reliable, but on the other hand, the web is jammed with other people complaining about how they have failed and ended up...

I have been fiddling with my used ZD326, which refuses to start without hot-wiring. I thought I had a bad relay. Switching relays did not fix the problem, so I moved down my list. I checked all remaining safety switches, and they were fine. I went under the seat, disconnected the ignition...

I have an excellent tip for anyone trying to remove the cutting height dial ("cam dial") from a ZD326 mower in order to get the control panel off. I think the ZD331 has the same parts, based on what I've read. When you remove the front portion of the control panel, which is independent of the...

New plastic grips for the controls on my ZD326 arrived. Oh, joy. The old ones are bleached out by the sun, so I want to get rid of them. I figured they would slip right off the steel levers. They do not. They hold on for dear life. I'm not going to cut them. At least I'm smart enough not to...

I am still working the bugs out of my used Kubota ZD326. I am waiting for parts. I had to hotwire the mower and disconnect the brake switch in order to get it to run. It's a joy to use when I can get it going. Today while I was mowing, the mower tried to die on me. It did this a few times. I...

Picked up this Kubota ZD326 today. I rolled the dice a little, so I'm here to hear what a sucker I am. Guy said his wife's grandfather owned it and used it on a couple of acres at his house. Year? No idea. Receipt for purchase? Manual? Sorry. The ad said 229 hours, and he was asking $6500, so...

I am still struggling to find a used diesel zero-turn to replace my aging JD 430. I wanted a Kubota ZD because they have built-in jacks, but good ones don't pop up often at realistic prices. Right now, I can get an okay deal ($8900 asking) on a Gravely Pro Turn 460 with a Kubota engine. A...

I have an L3710 HST. It has a loader and two rear remotes. It has about 1250 hours. No cab. I don't know if they ever came with cabs. It's 4-wheel drive with a mid PTO. I got it in 2017 from the first owner. It has had very little done to it. I kept up with oil and grease, but it is overdue for...

Someone near me has a 2000-hour RTV X1140 for sale. Asking about $8000. Looks okay in photos. I haven't seen it in person. I have been thinking of getting rid of my gas E-Z-GO because the company provides horrible support and always seems to be about to go out of business. Also, it would be...

I saw an ad for a Kubota MX5200 with 1500 hours. The price looked nice to me, but this thing has the wonderful emissions stuff that requires high revs and can result in $$$$$$ repairs. I would never, ever violate any type of environmental regulation, ever, even though I run my tractor about 30...

Got myself a W.R. Long 2-spool remote kit for my L3710 HST ROPS. It came with comprehensive installation instructions. One page. I didn't know these things required electricity, because, hello, hydraulics. The instructions say, "Connect the red wire to a hot wire on your tractor." You know...

Is it possible to get away with running an L3710 and a flail mower over a septic tank leach field? I don't know how the leach field was constructed, but it's in North Florida, and it was put in in 2000. Also, will a flail mower suck leaves up and mulch them? I have heavy oak leaves that like to...

I'm considering picking up a ZD326S mower, but it's about 200 miles away. What's a reasonable price to have it moved here, to a residential address?

Sometimes the LA681 loader on my L3710 continues to creep upward after the joystick returns to center. When I tap the joystick, it stops. I looked for places to grease the joystick but didn't come up with much. What's going on?

I still have not fixed my L3710, which sometimes will not start. It looks like the HST safety switch is hinky. We have had three storms plus a long trip, so I have not sent the tractor to the dealer yet. Now that Milton has passed, I have to start the tractor one way or the other so I can get...

I have decided I want a used ZD331 or ZD1211 mower with a 60" deck. I have no trailer, and I may have to rent one to get a mower to my house. The specs for a 60" deck say it's about 73" wide with side discharge. That will not fit most rental trailers. Can someone tell me if it's possible to...

I just ripped out some shrubs the people who built this house should never have planted. I had to go in the house twice because of the heat, and the tractor's seat was like a steam iron after a couple of minutes in direct sunlight. I used to think canopies were stupid, but I am reconsidering. I...
