M9000 trouble. A whole lot deeper then I ever thought.

Ok my mistake, it’s the passenger side. Lol. Think outside the box. As your sitting in the tractor like a car, left side is driver and right side passenger. But I should have said pump side. Sorry The hose comes right out of the block left of the oil filter and runs to the bottom of radiator. If you look at Messicks under the A42000 WATER PIPE I’m referring to #080(joint,drain). In the picture it looks like it’s straight through but I assure you it’s a plug in the tractor. I’m thinking it’s a drain.

Interesting. I don't have that hose on either of my M's, open station or cab.

I’ll have to take a few pics and try and upload them. My friend has a 9000 and it’s on his also.

Not to be a smart ass but, on a cab tractor with a passenger or "buddy" seat, it's mounted to the left side of the operator seat, so the passenger side would be to the left.

Fair statement. However M9's don't have an instructors seat.....

Flip... maybe Kubota thought you din’t have any Buddies..? (Or wouldn’t take “instruction”)...

Candidly George, I don't want any unless they are female and smell good.

That would depend on your definition of M9.

Didn't reply after reading your question because I have a question about your question and that is.. What is the drivers side? You sit in the middle of the tractor so what side are you referring to? If you meant the pump side right side, that hose is for the oil cooler base which on your engine sits proud of the block and the spin on oil filter mounts to it. I presume that is what you meant?

"Drivers side" is something of an old mechanics reference used to identify location. Everything is located as though you are setting in the drivers seat of a left-side steered vehicle.

And it is a very easily understood description.

Neither of mine do and far as I know none have. But then I don't believe Kubota even offers an M9000 today.

You said an M9, not M9000. M9 kind of leaves the door wide open.

Why don’ we dispense with this “drivers” side and “passengers” side foolishness and use what any real country boy should know... “Near” side and “Off” side.

Sort of... I don't want anyone riding with me anyway. I 'social distance'.

Port and Starboard is even better...

Only if you farm using hydroponics.

I really need to get that hose picture uploaded so we can get back to topic and not argue who is more of a country boy. lol

 

[SidecarFlip]

Got looking closely at my open station M9 the other day. There is a hose that runs from the lower side of the water pump around and behind the injection pump . Where it goes, I'm not sure but I'll take a closer look tomorrow as I have to put the hay rake on. I'm betting it feeds the oil cooler which is a plate that fits to the block and the oil filter fits on it.

 

[AngleBlade1cc11]

It goes into the block next to the oil cooler. I took pictures tonight. Just trying to figure out how to upload them.
