EXACTLY, and every OEM turbocharged, boosted car sold today has this insert installed for the top ring land. You'll notice 3 basic differences on Kubota NA vs. boosted pre tier 4 engines. 1) intake manifold, NA has a runner type or non plenum manifold, the boosted always have a "log" type...

You should perform a leakdown test on your machine at some point as the turbo install will erode the piston ring land on the top ring only and compression will suffer especially if you use much power over sustained time. These folks will help you also. https://www.countrysalesandservice.com/ I...

It's right behind the starter about 2 inches, red/white 12 gauge wire. You don't even have to open the hood. Mine melted at the heater connection itself on the intake, 6 mm stud, 10 mm wrench you can't miss it.

Follow the science, I say follow the money. Watch anything by Janet Ossebaard and do your own research, you will be pleasantly enlightened. Excellent clearing house of current conspiracy theories and some just could be true. SHHHHhhhh don't tell your family or friends you looked through any of...

Taking out the trash. I DO still hate my tractor!

I used an off the shelf connector crimped and soldered. Mine burned right at the connector there in the picture on the right.

Make sure the induction pre-heater is working (at the intake manifold entry). Makes a huge difference at cooler temps. Throw an amp clamp around the wire they draw 30 plus amps when they are working correctly. I disconnect mine in Summer by removing the fuse. You'll know it's right if the...

I'll tell you this for free. Go ahead, snowblow your yard with an open station machine when the wind is whopping whipping and the temps are around zero.....HAVE EFFING AT IT! I did last Winter when my cabbed machine blew up. My beer froze, my face froze, my nutZ froze and I hastily fixed my...

A quick fix or try would be to add a rubber jounce bumper from a car suspension. There are many varieties if you could get your hands on a few from an auto parts place or if you have a go to shop that does suspension work you could at least look around to find one to try. Cheap fix and easily...

More bolts never tightened. Block heater install is easy once you remove the exhaust pipe for excellent access. Used a 8 inch lone 3/4" threaded pipe to seat the block heater collar where the frost plug was. Installed the correct length bolts for the loader frame so they bottom on the frame...

Not mine, I agreed to do the first service on this L3560 with 135 hours. Obviously never touched, it doesn't look like the loader has even been greased. Loose bolts everywhere actually some falling out. Makes me angry to see poor dealer prep on a machine like this. Alternator belt loose...

Lord forgive me.....

Building an ejection seat for a quick getaway because I still do .........hate my tractor! Sending piston pix to the company so maybe I get my hard earner money back, let's see where this goes.

http://www.pentosin.net/specsheets/Pento_High_Performance_II_5W-40.pdf I buy this in 55 gal. drums for my business, it's great oil. Interesting you speak VW oil specs, 505.01 isn't allowed in their DPF equipped Diesels in lieu of 504/507 but if you notice this oil has the Mercedes Benz 229.51...

Bore is finished, I asked for an extra .0005", I got it and all 4 are perfect until I put the fuel back to her:pullinghair: Flywheel weighs 64 lbs. not that it matters.
