    Kubota Paint

    I've had my G1800 for a few months now. I've always thought it got overspray on it because the upper surfaces have a whitish coating on them. But I have seen pictures of others that are the same way. Perhaps it has a clearcoat on it that discolors due to age and sunlight? Anyone have any...

    Anybody know where I can find a service manual for a RC48-G20S mower deck? They seem to be discontinued. Thanks in advance, Roger

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    I had a few minutes to look at it again this evening. All of the pins now move back into their hole when pressed. They did not do that before. Even when I tried to move them with vice-grips (carefully). Sprayed everything with Kroil again. Stay tuned. Roger

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    Good morning Hugo, I went back out this morning to take some more pictures. Looking at it directly from the side I see that there are actually 4 pins. 2 in the U-joint housing and two in the rotating collar. The pictures from the left side show the collar rotated to different positions. And...

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    I finally got around to tackling this driveshaft again. I do have a locking ring as pictured above. After drowning it with Kroil Penetrant, tapping on it with a hammer and a lot of working it by hand, I still cannot get it to disengage. The locking ring moves a little as shown, it spins, and...

    New owner questions G1800

    Never had anything to do with a Kubota before, so just trying to understand it better: 1) When it starts I get a puff of black smoke. I suspect this is normal for a diesel? (Temperatures are in the 70's or 80's here now.) 2) My understanding is that the glow plug light is on a timer and...

    Looking for an electrical connector on G1800

    Well this was an easy one to resolve. :):) I decided to go check all the safety systems per the Kubota manual. PTO switch was not inhibiting starting when the PTO was engaged. The switch had sat in the NC position so long it was stuck. A little exercising and now it works. And now the seat...

    Looking for an electrical connector on G1800

    Currently the seat switch is not working. The switch checks out fine so I am looking for the 3x2 connector which mates the switch, fuel pump and sensor, etc. into the rest of the wire harness. Anyone know where it is located? I'm trying not to tear the tractor apart looking for it :). Thanks...

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    I just removed the mower deck from my G1800. The yoke for the driveshaft is still attached to the front PTO shaft. How do I remove it? I would hate to have someone engage the PTO and have it flail around hitting stuff. Thanks in advance. Roger
