Oil & Fuel when I get this thing turned upright

knucklehead1 · May 6, 2011

Got too close to the edge today..always knew it would happen. Does anyone know what I should do before I attempt to start it again?

Check all fluids is the only thing which comes to mind right off the bat.

I'm assuming that you weren't hurt at all. Well, except maybe your pride.

#1 Get it upright #2 Pull the glow plugs, if you have them; if not pull the injectors and spin the engine over several times to clear any fuel/lube oil from the intake stream and cylinders.#3 Check the oil for adequate level, put all the stuff you removed back and fire 'er up

Glad you survived:thumbsup: This something I personally haven't had to deal with, but probably make sure no oil or other fluids got in the cylinders, don't want to bend rods

make sure radiator is ok and check the battery for loss also. Good luck with it.

Then look into ROPS and a seat belt ! Lucky you didn't meet St Peter !

Glade to hear you're OK:thumbsup: I must ask though! it looks like more than one roll over to have wound up down there

if so? you might want to be looking at some other issue's Like bent lift arms, bent steering wheel,,the exhaust pipe, etc,etc, what Implement did you have on the tractor?

Wow, that's a heck of a first post by a new member, glad you survived the accident to post! Like already suggested, do look at getting a ROPS installed.

Welcome to TBN and I am glad you didnt get hurt in the rollover. Kubota has a reduced price ROPS program and add a seat belt along with it. Please consider looking into the program here is the link Kubota ROPS Program

Am I the only one that thinks that is a toy tractor and not a real one? Maybe 1/12th scale.

Gotta be the 'real thing' .

It is on the internet after all.

Or maybe post this in the 'safety forum'.............

Titled............where NOT to throw toys in the flower garden for 'Mother's Day' ?

I thought all these tractors were our "TOYS".

That looks like a real nasty tumble - glad you're OK. It took some gutts to 'fess up & post the picture so others can learn. We all admire that. Thanks,

Nope

because even the Toys have ROPS

Going back and looking at the pic for a while, I'm beginning to think TGF may be right and we've been had.

I dunno...comparing it to the size of the leaves on the bush makes it look real (remember, some of those really old Kubotas (like the L175, which is what I think it is) were pretty small..
