This could be Obama or even late Bush fuel. I have no idea. My impression is that the owner was too lazy to use both tanks, so he ran the right one dry over and over. If so, it suggests he didn't use it all that often. No intelligent person wants to fill one tank over and over when he can fill...

I will remove it from the mower, look inside with an otoscope, try to clean it out if needed, beat on it, and blow air through it. If I have to take it apart, I will. If all this doesn't work, I'll put a big patch of Velcro on the tractor seat and buy some Velcro pants. It's remarkable that...

I am thinking this over. Crud in the lines can't be the problem, because most of the time, the flow is good. If the lines were obstructed, the mower would always be slow. That means there has to be crud in the fuel itself. The fuel itself must be the issue. Based on my experience with 8V71's...

Some guy on Ebay is trying to sell a used belt for $200. That vintage patina doesn't come free.

Thanks. That's the Harbor Freight thing I was talking about. I may have to try it.

Whitetiger, I can't thank you enough for pointing that out. I must have been crazy, thinking seat belts would be on the seat page. Now that I look back on it, I realize how ridiculous that was. I found the seat belt, and it's about $109. Maybe I should look for the part I need instead of a...

Mowed the yard today, and the left tank eventually quit. I guess the diesel boogers were too much for Clear-Diesel.

I shot Sea Foam Deep Creep into it. Maybe something will happen. Here are two facts that don't go together: 1) Kubota put 5 safety switches on this mower. 2) They don't sell replacement seat belts. I guess after the lawyers made them put the safety switches on the mower, they went out and...

How do I open this to fix it? No screws. #Kubota_winning

I used to buy from Messick's, but I have placed 4 or 5 orders recently for my mower, and every time I compared, Coleman's was better. As for why Messick's charges so much, an idea popped into my head: maybe they like money. Neil seems like a nice guy in the videos, but that doesn't tell you...

We had a storm, so I finally bit the bullet and found a way to run a hot wire to my rear remote "kit." When I got to the fuse box, I had a problem. Some genius at Kubota put a big fuse box in this tractor, but he only included enough conductors to accommodate 4 fuses. Saved Kubota at least 7...

Wouldn't you know it? I just ran the mower for a while, and it never bogged. Maybe Clear-Diesel ate the booger that was blocking the fuel.

ZD326 This is a datasheet I found for anyone who wants to fiddle with their controller and use something else to run the relays. It applies to all three relays connected to the controller. The version of the relay Kubota uses is SPDT with 5 pins and runs on 12V. This is a standard automotive...

My ZD326 appears to have crud in the left tank or the lines that go to and from it. It's hard to get a siphon to the bottom. Is there some clever way to drain it? I was thinking I would detach the return line and pump it out that way, but the fuel would have to go through both filters to get...

I found someone to design a cheap circuit to turn the mower off, and then I tried to use LTSpice to simulate it. Then I gave up trying to figure out LTSpice. I would have thought a circuit design program would have a relay in it somewhere, but apparently you're supposed to design the relay...

Childish.

More fun today. The mower is fine the way it is, but I can't stop. I replaced all the relays since it was cheap, just to be sure they were not the issue. I also found what appears to be the controller ground and cleaned it. I found something or other grounded to the voltage regulator, so I...

Yes; that's what I'm doing, as this thread indicates.
