    Good morning, Finally got a new head gasket from Kubota dealer and plan to install asap. Does anyone have the torque and bolt sequence for the V2203? Thanks, Mike

    Thanks! I'll look forward to what you find. For what its worth, it looks like if I went with the 1.20 that I'd be right in the ballpark. Not the thinnest, not the thickest. Maybe 1.25 to hit the middle.

    Good morning. Finally got some time to pull the head off the engine. Block and head look good. Doesn't appear to be warped, pitted, cracked. Gasket is a three layer aftermarket with numbers the the Kubota dealer doesn't recognize. So now I'm wondering what thickness gasket to order? 4 options...

    L4400 mysteries

    Good morning Wolfman, I contacted the local Kubota dealer and was told there are four thickness options for the head gasket. I'm gonna start by pulling the head and if all looks good I want to be able to re-install the head. I'll need a gasket and want to buy the correct thickness. Any...

    Good morning all. Still trying to figure out the coolant blow-out problem. Got a hold of a hydrocarbon tester and ran the test 4 times with no change in color on the test fluid. Thought maybe the fluid was bad so I took a few whiffs off the exhaust and the fluid changed color quickly. Refilled...

    L4400 mysteries

    Hey thanks for getting back to me. I'll take you up on that offer for a WSM. Also, should I go to Kubota for this part or can I trust Country Sales and Service or eBay? If I'm going to all the trouble of swapping heads I wanna do it right. I'm naively thinking its a straight forward...

    L4400 mysteries

    Hello all, Another rainy day in Oregon........ I'm writing this question with a crappy feeling in my gut. Tractor was spitting radiator fluid so I went out to do a cold start this morning with radiator cap off. Immediately upon the engine starting, fluid started slurping out of the radiator...

    Thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking that they would work. I'm hoping to add a front end loader on my L4400 mostly for use of carrying things around on the farm. Maybe a little use for material moving gravel work etc. Trying to be frugal but maybe as the saying goes "penny wise, dollar...

    L4400 mysteries

    Hello Dan, Thanks again for the reply on the remote hydraulics. I have another theoretical question concerning them. I understand that they are for remote use such as cylinders on discs, mowers etc. Could the controls also be used to operate a front end loader that will only be used...

    Thanks for the reply aaluck. Since you have the same tractor, if you have any words of wisdom to share or cool stories of your tractor I'd like to hear them! I'm anxiously waiting for this wintery wet weather we're having to be over so I can get out and use the tractor. Thanks Mike

    L4400 mysteries

    Thanks Wolfman. You're right, the year doesn't really matter much. It does have a lot of hours but if the story I got with it is true, I feel that it wasn't abused. No FEL, no PTO use, and no three point hitch makes me think it was just shuttling nut bins during harvest. I don't plan on using...

    Thanks for the reply Dan. I did do a little more research after I read your response and I understand it a little more now. The rear remote does have certain uses and might come in handy someday. Don't want to jeopardize the control unit by trying to have a continuos flow on the rear remote...

    L4400 mysteries

    Hello all, I just became the owner of a L4400D. HST. 4x4 Was told that it's a 2011 but didn't believe it since tractordata says they were made up until 2010. The decal with the serial number is damaged. The only other number I can find that looks like a serial number reads: L4400D86873. Makes...

    Sharpen Rotary Mower Blades?

    Heard that if you don't sharpen your blades, any stubs or small stumps from trees and shrubs will be shattered and won't be sharp enough to puncture your tires.

    B9200 strong enough to mow?

    Thanks for the reply. I have one of those 9n tractors and use it for running a chipper and pulling trailers. Since the PTO isn't live I havent used it for mowing. I'm dealing with blackberry invasion and want to be able to back in to clumps and drop the mower while it is still under power. The...
