Well, the tractor is fixed. There is a metal guard “protecting” the hose that runs between both fuel tanks. It is the lowest point under the center of the tractor. Anyways, when I was bush hogging, I bent this piece into brake linkage. This caused a little brake to be applied and limited top speed. The linkage allowed the petal to work normal.

I guess I over looked it because I wasn’t expecting a tractor guard to be so flexible. That piece seems a little too easy to bend for a guard on a tractor. I wish it was heavier. It’s probably good for me. It will keep me from driving over anything very thick.

Glad you found it! I found that Kubota tends to leave things open to damage under the tractor. I bought a 3rd function cover from Paul Short in Canada, now I feel more comfortable.
