A week ago i posted a thread about my tractor not lifting the bush hog.. well it was a hydraulic pump that went out, can you imagine only 33 years old..could not afford the kubota pump got one from ebay.. perfect fit,,the fuel tank had a number of pin holes,, local welding shop suggested to cut a couple of inches of the bottom and weld in some more metal.. worked out great should be about 3/4 of a gallon less.. i love my old tractor.. thanks for all the replies...
