    Loads of smoke

    I'll check the water separator. It seemed slightly down on power the previous day. I had the air filter out a couple of days ago and it was fine. Smoke was pretty dark, but not black Thanks

    Loads of smoke

    I was heading out to do some cutting today, maybe 2 miles from the house. Everything was going fine until I was climbing a hill. Just as I got to the top, clouds of smoke came billowing out the exhaust and breather. Tractor lost all power and I knocked it off. Temp gauge rose a little too...

    Loader control removal

    Possibly an optical illusion. One is perfect. They are just thrown on the tyre for safe keeping. They run in a gentle curve from the fender, under the floor board, and straight to the spool block.

    Loader control removal

    The joystick has the travel, but when it goes forward, it goes to the right. One of the cables is bent, but that might be from trying to force it. Is there supposed to be a rusty ball bearing somewhere?

    Loader control removal

    Thankfully, there was just a pin joining the cables to the piston. I know what you mean about the rust. Funnily, the rest of the old girl is in great shape. While I'm at it, where would I go looking to fix the float detent. The joystick won't go all the way forward into float. Thanks for the...

    Loader control removal

    Is anything going to go flying if I open these covers? I figure if I open these I will get enough slack to get to the nuts at the bottom of the square upright

    Loader control removal

    Thanks, Got them. The cables are attached to a plate down inside the square upright thing. The holes in the mudguard are the size of the cables

    Loader control removal

    How do I get the cables and housing off the mudguard? I have removed as many nuts and bolts as I can see. Trying to get the mudguards off for fiberglass, because they're a little bit rusty.

    Cooling fan L3450GST

    Thanks Seán. Appreciate it. Goes dangerously close to the red on road work with the 5 blade fan. If I have to replace the rad, so be it. But there was never a problem until the fan bearings calfed and tackled the rad. I straightened the fins as best I could. It never got hot before so I'm...

    Radiator fan bearing

    The carrier bearing on the radiator fan wore out. I have the shaft taken out but can't figure out how to get the end off the shaft to replace the bearing. Is it threaded? And if it is, is it left hand thread or right?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Carrier bearing on the fan shaft pooped the bed. New fan, new bearing, new fan belt and new flex joint needed. I can see bloodshed in my future. Radiator seems ok, I hope

    I went to the dark side 😱😱

    I spent 30 years working on golf courses. Those guys know because they run them long and hard. Early Kubotas were unbreakable. They don't buy Kubota any more. Just saying 🤷‍♂️
