Hi. I have two M108S tractors. Have problem with both of them and a Kubota mechanic came to scan them. EGR valve motor bad in one, so we took the motor out of the other one, problem solved. Just that the Kubota dealer wanted over $600 for the whole EGR valve assembly, does not sell the motor separate. Found the motor on the net for $128 so we are good there I hope. The other one has a bad injector and I do not want to pay over $900 for a new one, plus installation, plus picking the tractor up.
So what do I do? Move to the dark side? Buy an aftermarket injector, get a hacking software etc. etc. ? In my mind criminal not selling this EGR valve motor separate and forcing one to buy the whole thing.
Not the first time I have come up against this with Kubota. The shuttle valve started to leak. They wanted to sell me a new one for over $1000, but was able to find the special o-ring needed for for about $2. Criminal behavior by Kubota in my mind. This o-ring still holding now 2 years later, the tractor used almost every day.
First I am going to try some heavy duty cleaner in the fuel to see if that helps cleaning the injector.
