It's been a long time since I replaced the clutch on my 1715 ... was there no roll pin or anything that keeps the hub from rotating? BTW, since we moved to 31 acres in TN the 1715 has been getting a heck of a workout, lots of running a 5' reverse rotation tiller, and a 5' bushhog. It's been...

Thank you very much!

I've got a leaking seal in my steering cylinder and the parts books call out different parts based on axle production number. SBA344960440 for axle number 2F31713 or greater SBA344960206 for earlier axles numbers. Only numbers I can find on my axle are: KT1N0100 (last digit could be D...

Dang, the internet is a wonderful thing, I had the exact same question I was going to ask about a replacement motor for a VMC brush cutter I have. Hard to turn and feels like turning a very stiff ball bearing that someone took a hammer to.

Mine has basically stopped the popping, a lot of it was my technique for turning improved. As long as I kept both tracks moving it doesn't do it. Checked the manual and it does not say anything about having to keep both tracks moving during turns. Also the tracks are breaking in some I'm sure...

I'm reaching way back here .... but I have the same questions for the diverter valve on a KX-040. I've never seen such a hard piece of info to find. In fact the Kubota parts catalogs don't even seem to show the diverter valve.

I never thought about the fact that it could be debris scooped into the tracks when it's sliding sideways during pivot. In my case it could be chucks of hard clay soil, I mean stuff so hard you'd think it was a rock. It only does it once ... I'll make a pivot using only one track, then move a...

I've got a new KX040 with about 20 hours on it, half a dozen times now the tracks have made a load popping .. which I assume is a mis-alignment on the sprocket as it follows a tight turn. I try to exercise good practice and keep both tracks moving when turning. I think I know the cause, the...

Here is a video taken in late spring with the remains of a wheat harvest evident (wife riding her dirt bike around the property) Here it is a few weeks ago ... looks ok at a distance but it's horrifying up close :)

I have about 20 acres of farm field on our property in NW TN that has been fallow for a year now. Was planted for the last couple of decades with wheat, soybeans and corn. I'm looking to smooth it and plant with tall fescue ... more for a lawn than for haying. Right now it's a moonscape of...

tvpierce ... I'm late to the party, but I still have the CAD files. Would be more than happy to send them to you and you can post them wherever you want. You'll have to give me a place to send them, the forum won't allow CAD files in posts or PMs.

Thanks for the excellent leads folks. Also, feel free to pass my contact info onto anyone you think would be interested that are in the Saratoga NY region. jbranson(at)nycap.rr.com 1100 miles, Middle Grove NY, to Martin TN, May 2024, 10,000 lbs.

After some continuing research it looks like a hot shot hauler with a step deck trailer should do the job. They run 45-50 feet long including a 10 foot upper deck, handle weights anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000. My 1715 and Kubota are 25' nose to tail, that should leave plenty of room for the...

I plan on being present for both loading and delivery. I'll be hauling a load down at the same time, and hopefully beat the truck down. Will be away from the property about a week at a time during the move, it's very rural and I have a few friends there now that will keep an eye on the place...

We have places saved as our relief motels at about the 12 hour mark either going or coming. And yes, depending on what our load is that trip, or type of trailer we are using, security is a worry. So far we've done the 18 hour drive 3 legs, and a stop on three legs. The stop usually just doesn't...
