KubotaBooks has that loader manual, and lists the bucket weight at 123 lbs and lift capacity at 400 lbs (presumably full height at pins). 277 remaining lift capacity full height at pins. That appears to equate to about 1/2 a bucket full of average dirt estimated at 100 lbs per cubic foot.

Since you've cleaned all of the high amp connections, consider replacing the cables themselves. They have been known to corrode on the inside, which would account for your symptoms. The actual battery cables are the most susceptible.

The OP basically dumped 10 gallons of Walmart hydraulic oil into his expensive ag machinery, showed some vague pictures of almost certainly water contaminated oil, and quoted some partially correct information about the 303 oil debacle of about a decade ago. I believe he is going to have Walmart...

I don't do that, mostly because my degreasing is done on a frequent basis before it gets too bad. I'm sure it works better on a warmed (never hot!) engine.

For the op's stated concerns, the choice is HST.

My vote is for Gunk degreaser for heavily soiled grease, and Oil Eater for routine degreasing / cleaning.

The full wiring diagram is buried in there also, with wire colors beginning at page 9M1 for the L10 series tractors.

It's poor form to delete (by editing) the original post on a thread.

The fuel solenoid may be getting shut down by one of several possible safety switches. Depending on your symptoms, switches to look at could be seat, hst pedal, pto, or clutch. I would start with the seat switch.

I agree that you should be focusing on the connections first. If reconnecting them doesn't change anything, try swapping them to see if the problem follows a particular connection.

I used to clamp off the fuel lines on both sides of the filter before changing. When I replaced the stock separator / sediment filter on my Kubota with a Racor 2u, I plumbed shutoff valves on both sides of the filter.

I haven't been closely following the various "right to repair" movements, but I do know that the proprietary stranglehold did not work out too well for some large companies like IBM.

I suspect the nozzle can be touched to the container prior to opening, equalizing the potential static charge. The nozzle would also need to be in constant contact with the container while filling. There's just too many opportunities for a mistake to take the chance. I always remove my Jerry...

I switched from a 3 point auger to a ssqa loader mount auger and the difference is night and day. As PTSG states, the down pressure and reversing are the big pluses. Hydraulic augers do cost more, but worth every penny if you're doing a lot of holes with it (imho). Mine is a Land Pride SA20 with...

Well, there is a fuel shutoff valve on the water separator / filter... Is that turned back on?
