That's interesting....

Apparently I did not. Everything adds up now, and we know why it would not regen.

Just another case of run it till it pukes.

So, I'm not alone in thinking that the start/run issue was because it was binding up from heat?

Perhaps he has KTAC, otherwise he will be paying for a new engine along with the mysterious tube.

It's your own fault for not checking the radiator, no different than checking the oil. Read your owner's manual.

Exactly. You get to eat your lack of basic maintenance.

the radiator should have been blowing major steam before damage occurred!..

I do not disagree with you completely. I also understand that most engines work on this premise. However, I do not know a single person that opens their hood on a car or tractor and checks the radiator for fluid prior to operating. If the fluid all leaked out while parked, how would anyone know. We always checked fluids, oil, radiator reservoir etc regularly. No obvious sign of a problem

No obvious sign of a problem? How about your original post in December. Do you feel it could have been the same issue? Look it sucks, no doubt. Why it would fail on a new machine is tough to surmise.

Another point, it doesnt matter what the person next to you does. In this case you following the manual recommendations is most important. A great reminder for us all.

It sucks that you have a multi thousand dollar repair but ultimately it’s not Kubotas fault. If you’d have ran a stick through a fuel line instead and it caused a fire would you still be trying to collect damages. Btw this would have been a good time to have insurance.

It takes liquid to make steam. The liquid was all on the ground.
