    Mystery Lift Bar and...

    Greg, that is what it looks like to me also. The first bend along side of the front of the hydro goes up over the frame mounting boss on the gear reduction housing on a gear drive transaxle.

    Nope, TK is the enemy. I have worked at the CTD dealer in the Twin Cities for over 40 years, current employer is the 4th owner of the CTD franchise since I started. I know K series Kohlers and Kubota engines like the back of my hand, as both were/ have been used in our equipment for many years...

    Steve, Rivnuts, or nutserts as we refer to them, work very well when used in correct application. We use hundreds in the assembly of a refrigeration unit, from holding door latch and other brackets on to about 20/30holding in condenser and evaporator coils in, all 1/4-20. The tools made to...

    The day finally came!

    Dealer probably will not touch it. Initial adjustment is done by Kubota when the engine is assembled. Tamper proof cap is pinched on at the factory. Turning the screw "out" increases tension on governor spring, giving it a little more at full fuel. Naturally aspirated engine I would not go over...

    The day finally came!

    Just my .02 worth of diagnostics. First thing I would do once you are convinced that you have good fuel delivery to the injection pump is check the stop lever to make sure it is moving to the full fuel position. Next I would check the glow plugs individually if you are sure you have at least 12...

    1572 Diesel Turbo Install

    The problem with using adapters, especially with the coolant temp sensor is that the adapter put the sender above the coolant flow, causing a "cold" pocket around the sensor creating a delay in the correct reading on the gauge. The main cause of cracked Kubota cylinder heads is repeated...

    1572 Diesel Turbo Install

    Steve, the oil pressure fitting should be 1/8" female pipe. The port in the top of the head is metric, but we have always just ran a 1/8" pipe tap in the hole to rethread it to 1/8" pipe. Brass fittings usually thread into both locations with no modification in our applications and equipment at...

    1512D not running right

    Jeff,1st thing I would suggest is running engine off of an alternate fuel source. Remove line from inlet of electric fuel pump and run a line into a container of fresh fuel. While warming the engine up monitor the upper and lower coolant hoses and the temp difference between upper and lower...

    Setting valves on a 1512 Diesel

    Don, You need to look closer at the flywheel. If the 2TC mark is at the 3 o'clock position lined up with the mark on the starter plate, the 1TC mark is at about 6 o'clock or at the bottom. Not all flywheels have all 3 TC marks, most only have the 1TC mark. As stated in the FAQ,marks are not...
