    V2203 oil filter?

    Thanks for the help. I went to my local napa this morning. Gave me a 1068. Threads and gasket fit fine, everything good. But the 1068 was noticeably larger in both length and diameter than what was on the engine.

    V2203 oil filter?

    I have an obscure older excavator that no one can look up the oil filter. It has a Kubota V2203 engine. The filter on the unit has no markings. The filter measures about 3 inches in diameter and is about 3 inches long. Can anyone give me a part number? Thanks much.

    To CAB or NOT

    The cab is great in winter but, any other time when outside temps are 50 or higher I must run the a/c or I cook in the cab. I would not recommend a cab without ac.

    Lubrication additives for Diesel Fuel in older tractor

    I have the same concerns with my older Mitsubishi 180D. I tried adding Marvel Mystery Oil but the engine was very hard to start, especially when cold. Almost wore down the battery.

    Need Cub loboy 185 pto bearing

    I bought this 185 lo boy as a project for the winter. It had broken belts from the engine fly wheel to the pto driving shaft. After replacing the belts and starting the engine, there is a terribly loud noise from that area. I think that the bearing in the assembly that adjusts belt tension is...

    Need new key start switch for V2203 engine

    Hi folks. I just bought an older Furukawa mini excavator with a Kubota V2203 4 cylinder diesel. The key start switch is busted. Any old house key can be inserted to start the engine but more concerning is that I can not get the key into a position for heating the glow plugs. I found a web...

    Rebuilding hydraulic cylinders?

    Rebuilding myself would not be a problem for my Case 580CK, but ordering the right parts for a Furukawa FX-040 is very difficult.

    Rebuilding hydraulic cylinders?

    Yes. After sitting in the first shop for seven weeks I picked up the cylinder and brought it to another that measures the sizes of the needed seals. Picked it up 3 days later. But over $650? Is this typical? The only work needed was seals and rings.

    Rebuilding hydraulic cylinders?

    I have an older Furukawa FX-040 mini excavator. Some say it is a gray market knockoff of a Kubota FK-040. It has a Kubota V2203 engine. A couple of hydraulic cylinders leak fluid where the chrome rod goes into the cylinder otherwise it performed as it should. I took the cylinder off and...

    Furukawa FX040 specs?

    I just bought an older Furukawa FX040 mini excavator. It has a 4 cylinder Kubota engine but that is all I know and can not find any specs or information online about the machine. Can anyone help me with this info or tell me where to look? I would at least like to know filter part numbers...

    Looking at 5325 to buy

    My TYM 574 has had a problem since delivered and the dealer has been out over a dozen times, been hauled back to the dealership twice, and now TYM wants to haul it back from northeast PA to North Carolina for work. They have no clue as to why the engine warning light along with DPF light keeps...

    PTO generator at max torque or max HP?

    Yes Woodstock Walt, it is an old Winco that was never used, just sitting in a barn, no pto shaft attached, that I bought for $500 plus about $200 for a new pto shaft. I tend not to put much stock in what manufacturers call horsepower. This 180D outperforms my Kubota BX2660 26 horsepower diesel...
