The problem with the orange paint is the red pigment in it. The color red is the most prone to fade. Your best bet is to paint over it with an automotive acrylic enamel. An automotive paint would be more colorfast. Not knowing what kind of paint Kubota used try it out on a small spot to see if...

What color is the antifreeze in the engine? It's not so important what antifreeze you use but they aren't all interchangeable. For example you shouldn't add green antifreeze to a system that has orange antifreeze in it. If the antifreeze has been used for a long time you might go ahead and...

It appears the book I have is defective. The parts book says O-Ring and the illustration is an oval piece of steel coverplate for two screws. It doesn't show an O-Ring there at all. The book says #16 is the O-Ring 15221-33700

What is the part number for the O ring?

Look at it this way, it's not likely to break off or leak but if it does the part needs to be replaced anyway. It would only get in worse condition. Unless you think the cooling system is plugged somewhere I wouldn't flush it. Sometimes you can cause a coolant leak by using an engine flush...

I don't think I've used anything larger than 19mm on my B5200.

If there is rusted through places probably the easiest solution would be to replace the parts if you can find them. If not go ahead and take it down to bare metal so you can see how much you need to cut out and weld new metal in. The rest of it take it completely down to bare metal and treat it...

Well Darn, wish my Kubota could use one, I would get one and put it on just for the environmentalist. I will just have to be satisfied with having a pre-environmental tractor.

LOL, I've changed the oil I think five times with 800 hours use. The kicker is the 800 hours was over a span of 34 years. From now on I plan to do it annually.

The isocyanate hardener for alkyd enamels is much safer to work with than what is used in urethane finishes. It is safe to spray with a cartridge type respirator as long as you have some ventilation. The hardeners for urethane's is what you have to have an air supplied respirator to use.

That color should be very easy to make unless you are looking for rattle can paint. It may only be a mixture of white and black. Possibly a touch of red or green depending on the actual color of the black. Black is usually a very dark blue. If you are going to have paint made if there is a...

Which color do you think you have. https://www.messicks.com/Kubota-Paint-Chart

I don't know if it was true or not but I've been told Bridgestone has discontinued making the 4.5-10 front tires for my B5200. They are the only company making that tire and I just assumed that was the reason for the old stock. They can still be found online so if all of them are old stock the...

Firestone does have them. https://www.petestirestore.com/124-16-Firestone-Traction-Field-and-Road-Tractor-Tire-4-Ply-TT_p_6116.html The question is how old are they. I bought new front tires for mine only to find out they were 10 years old when I got them. It wasn't long before they had cracks...

The only plastic on mine is the front grille. It deserves to be faded though, it's 34 years old. To solve that problem I just painted it. The bumper cover on cars are painted so why not a tractor grille. I used the same adhesion promoter and primer like I did on the car, just used a different...

Maybe to keep from having to change their name they should make a line of clothing for tractors.

Well, Tractor Supply is selling more and more clothing and less tractor related items. I don't think you will find one that specializes in Kubota.

If the hour meter is correct I've averaged less than 24 hours a year on mine. Had it 34 years and it has 805 hours on it. I did buy a bigger tractor about 10 years ago for heavy work though. Started using the Kubota with just the bush hog.

Yea, rodents will eat anything. They ate all of the insulation off of a 8' length of romex wire in my shop. When I found it all that was there was three bare copper wires. Don't know how they kept from getting fried. Somehow the wires never touched. If someone has a rodent problem they need to...

With this wire there wouldn't have been any fatigue with it wrapped with other wiring inside conduit. This morning I stripped all the conduit off from one end to the other and was running my hands over that wire tracing it to it's origin when I came to a spot that easily bent. Upon further...
