Good ‘enin, OTT. It’s time for an oil change on my G5200H. Looking it up, I see that these awesome machines were produced between 1984-1990. I know engine oils have changed dramatically as have the engine tolerances. My original owners manual says to use API service CC or CD, and below 59...

Good ‘enin OTT forum. Having several acres to mow and finding it “somewhat” enjoyable, I find that atter I get done with it, I have to take a day to get my aching bones back in the order that they’re supposed to be in. Today, after switching out the seat on my G5200HST mower, I sat on it and...

Hello the forum….A month ago, I posted about putting gas instead of diesel in my Kubota G5200H. The tank was about 1/2 full and another 1/2 of gasoline. It ran for a short while and died. I did as commanded by the great folk on Orangetalks…..bowl filter, in-line filter, drain tank and lines. I...

Hello the forum. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but regularly checking in!! Background intel, 2 days ago I had hernia surgery. My daughters boyfriend most graciously volunteered to mow for me, seeing the “ole man” was handicapped. I think he jus wanted to use the Kubota I recently...

Hello OTT forum. Some may remember last year I purchased a G5200 to restore, to use, in memory of my Dad. He had a G4200 that I missed out on and figured the 5200 would surfice. I really liked that mower of his and it would throw that grass a country mile!! It would dry before it hit the...

Hello the OTT forum!! It’s been “a-month-a-Sunday’s” since I’ve posted on the OTT forum. Between my wife an I having the covid and other sech sundrie happenings, I haven’t had much chance or the desire to get back to finishing up the 48” mower deck for the G5200. But, I can hear the grass...

Hello the forum!! It’s been a while since I last posted…life an all!! Still working to revive my G5200 in memory of my Dad. He had the G4200. Sure do miss my Pops. But, the “tractor” part is done, all the odds an ends buttoned up, new tires, body work ‘n all and I’ll paint it come springtime...

Good ‘enin, OTT. I’ve been slowly getting my G5200 back in shape!! It’s been a real help around the hacienda…it’s to a point now that all I have left to do is some body work and paint. Finish the deck for next spring. I was using it today to haul some trailer loads of gravel when out of...

Working on this tired old RC-44” deck for the G5200. Kinfolk said the deck was too fer-gone to try to give it resuscitation!! It’s taking a while, but my “winter project” is proceeding at a rate that is commensurate to being finished before it’s time!! 🤣

I’m doing an oil change on my “new-to-me” Kubota G5200 mower. The manual calls for 3.2 qts. of oil in the crankcase. Does that mean 3.2 qts. with a filter change also?? I am going to change the filter, but the reason for the question is that the rubber dipstick stopper has moved and I’m going to...

I’m getting ready to to do a oil change on my “new-to-me” G5200 with 1610 hrs on the D600 motor. It was a trade-in at a dealer in Kentucky. I don’t know what oil was used in it but it has Kubota filters on it with dates on them, so I would conclude it was a well-care for machine. My question to...

I’m getting familiar with the Kubota G5200 I recently purchased to restore. A “newbie” question from someone unfamiliar with the aspects of a Diesel engine. When starting cold, the glo-plug indicator on the dash gets red atter about 20 seconds. Does this indication mean that the glo-plugs are...

Greetings from the Great Smoky Mtns. Of western North Carolina. Recently retired and was looking for a project mower/tractor, like my Dad had. He sold a Kubota G4200H shortly before he passed. He was pretty fond of that old machine!! I picked up a good running G5200 HST with a mower deck to...
