    G1900 to G1900S engine swap

    Hey I appreciate the input. If I did not want to hear what others have to say I would not ask. It may not be what I want to hear but it helps with evaluating my options. I have not noticed that my oil level goes up when it over heats. I assume that would mean that coolant is getting in there...

    G1900 to G1900S engine swap

    My Kubota dealer has given me three options for my current overheating; bad radiator that does not let the system pressurize so the fluid just boils thus overheating, a bad radiator that is blocked and needs to be rodded, or a bad water pump. They don't think it is a bad thermostat since it...

    G1900 to G1900S engine swap

    Thanks for the feedback.....just what I am looking for. For my plan to work I would take my engine without its electrcical harnesses and radiator and I would swap it into the newer 4wheel steer 1900s. That way I don't transfer any of the current gremlins that it has. I am assuming that my...

    G1900 to G1900S engine swap

    I have a G1900 that has been giving me fits with electrical and overheating issues. I think I have the electrical issue sorted, but I still have wires that the orginal owners cut and I can't quite figure out how to fix them. The light switch on the dash was taken out, the safety switches to the...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    Well all my parts are in. Thanks to Messick's......a bit slow and expensive on shipping but they can get the parts you want. So I am off to put the new throttle cable on, replace my radiator cap and see what happens. I have traced the hot lead from the battery and it only goes to the starter so...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    I never thought of that one. I am at a loss for diagnosing the short problem but also have a Kubota, straight from Japan, ground cable coming in the mail and I am going to switch out the 10 gauge cable that is on there with the stock ground cable from Kubota and see what the heck happens. I will...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    I thought that might be the problem but when it overheats not only does the gauge indicate overheating but the horn that is supposed to warn you of overheating goes off as well.And the fluid in the overfill tank is boiling. But I am going to try one of those heat guns on the radiator and see...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    Well for some reason my ground strap from the frame to the frame/engine carries a charge for some reason. I have a short somewhere and I can't figure it out. The ground strap is arcing for some reason. I get my new cable soon so I will install it and see if it fries again, but I did not connect...

    G1900 HST fluid change

    Wait for the manuals. I have a G1900 and it is pretty easy to change out the fluids and all but if it is new to you best to be able to look at the pictures and visualize what you are going to do. I did it without the manuals and I spent nearly a day trying to figure how to take the deck off to...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    Thanks to all for the suggestions. I finally was able to determine that the ground was faulty. I replaced the ground battery cable with a new one and added a ground strap as well from the engine to the frame. The tractor ran fine and I was able to mow my long overgrown pasture. It seems a...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    Thanks for all the input, I am going to try all of the electrical troubleshooting you suggest. My first hunch was that it was electrical but I have no understanding of electrics to even begin to troubleshoot, but your suggestions all sound very doable and give me a place to start. It has...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    Yup that is what is happening, I dissected the cable and it does have the antifriction lining inside but I can't find where on the cable it is fusing. Now I need to figure out how to get the cable to not act as a ground wire......any other suggestions other than checking and cleaning the current...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    I thought it might be that it was too close to a heat source but made sure it was far enough away from anything that could cause that kind of fusing. My current ground connections look good but I can't really tell because one of the wires that is connected to the ground bolt runs back up into a...

    WANTED: turf tires and wheels

    I have a set of rear tires and wheels almost brand new tread on bridgestone tires. No front wheels though. Size is 29X12.00-15. Lug studs are 3'' apart and hub is 4-1/2'' around. I am in Texas so it may be a little hard to get them to you but I thought I would let you know what I have. A friend...

    G1900 Throttle troubles

    Somehow I am frying my throttle cables. I have replaced three of them and they aren't cheap. I install them right but the moment I go out into the pasture and run the tractor for about 20-30 minutes and then go to throttle down, it won't work. When I pull the throttle cable off it is like frozen...
