Thx for replying, N.I.W. I'll take some photos when I get a free second. I'm new to the tractor scene but I'm already psyched at the vision of purchasing some acreage and using my little machine. Probably won't be feeling so hot once I have to start shelling out some $$$ for repairs. HaHa. Also, if I may pick your brain further? The (2) 48" hydro lines coming from the blower lift cylinder that travel up to the "joystick" valve are looking pretty ratty and want to change out. Any part numbers for those? Would like to put female quick disconnects on joystick valve. Also wanting to install male quick connects on lines from the blower. The (2) 12" lines from the joystick valve to the removeable block on lower right hand side of tractor are also in similiar shape. Any idea of part #'s? Can that be left hooked up permanently? Just need to turn valve handle located under the seat 180 degrees to switch between rear arms or joystick?
Sorry that this is so long winded and all over the place. The local Kubota dealers haven't really been extremely helpful. Maybe because of the age? Maybe because of the work required on their part? Maybe the fact that it won't be a huge order? Just ordered the belt and manual for 25.00 combined. No complaints here.
Thx again for any advice you can give me, more appreciated than you can imagine. Have a great day and God Bless. Ian
