    yes I will but its pouring here today. The tiller needs to come off. I was able to figure out a way to connect enough to steady using the top pull bar link hole with heavy bolt to finish up the garden space. Maybe share a picture of how I did that in case someone else gets caught in the...

    Kubota 1550 HST Won't start.

    After reading another topic here and combing the pages of my shiny new manual, I feel less like jumping of a cliff...One thing I may have failed to mention is I stop this tractor with the emergency pull for years now. Maybe I will invest in a new switch if I can get it running. Saw a problem...

    Kubota 1550 HST Won't start.

    Well I wish I had good news to report but I do not. After 3 weeks I now know it is not the fuel pump. The parts took about a week longer and I just got the clean fuel in again after waiting for the gasket to cure. I did buy the manual as well and it mentions a couple of things but the bottom...

    It does seem like there is some type of blockage...There just isn't that much distance between the fuel filter canister and the injectors input but no fuel there. Are there any type of tips to try and remove and airlock in the injection pump? I appreciate your reply, Apogee. I was beginning...

    Re: Kubota 1550 HST "STILL" Won't start. Maybe the 1550 HST is older so no one can relate...It is the same basics diesel motor I am pretty sure. When you try to get fuel up to the top of the fuel injector lines, do you open all 3 at once or one at a time? When I tried it the first time I...

    Re: Kubota 1550 HST Won't start. Diesel 101 basic ????'s In small diesel motors 101...is it common for fuel pumps to fail or maybe injector pumps? If the tank lines and fuel filter filter have fuel but nothing at the fuel injectors at the top where they enter the motor.

    My 1550 has 940 hours on it and has been maintained by the book. Last July I had a rotator cuff surgery so she sat until October. I started but thought the fuel was low so I drove down a couple hundred yards to refuel and it died and would not start. I fueled and still nothing so I changed...
