I assume you figured this out. If you need the measurements for it to be adjusted properly (a couple measurements on the spring and engagement cable from handle next to steering) let me know and I will post a picture.

yup, will replace both belts. And do my yearly maintenance on the deck.

I have a Kubota G1800 spewing oil from the front of the engine (16 HP Kubota D662 diesel engine). Hard to see where the leak is from as pulleys and flywheel is in the way. I have pulled the PTO pully and flywheel to be able to see. In the center of the picture is the front of the crankshaft...

This is really info in case others have the same problem. So LS XR 4046 with about 100 hours, ECM fuse kept blowing within a few minutes of starting. It was the ECM fuse in the fuse box near the steering wheel that kept blowing. Not the two ECM fuses up near the battery. Took a lot of hours to...

Anyone have experience in removing the disc hat from a JD 260 disc mower. I have used penetrating oil on the bolt. The bolt won't budge and I'm am honking on it.. Do I have to heat the bolt? It is the hat closest to the tractor. Any recommendations from someone else who has done it on how...

So i solved the leak issue. Since I got the G1800 lawn tractor with 400 hours I have been using conventional oil. The G1800 had about 930 hours a couple months ago and for the first time I put Rotella T6 synthetic oil when I changed the oil. Shortly after that I had oil leaking out the top of...

KubotA G1800 with about 900 hours. So I have, what appears to be a small oil leak, where the inlet manifold attaches to the cylinder head. Oozing out between where the inlet manifold attaches to the cylinder head. If could be a bad inlet manifold gasket, but I can't imagine oil being in that...

You might also check under the radiator screen under the steering wheel. There is a voltage regulator tucked away under there, right behind the dash. I had the dynamo (basically an alternator) go bad, which then seemed to cause the voltage regulator to fail. Obviously you need about 13-14V...

And I should ask does anyone know the torque for a XR4046 on the "exhaust manifold bolts"? Thanks again. Rich

I'm getting ready to do my 50 hour service. Oil & Filter. Hydraulic filter. Pre-fuel filter, grease, clean radiator, etc. My question is about some of the items on the list, specifically: Check front axle oil level. Torque exhaust manifold bolts. Torque of wheel bolts and nuts. Clutch...

I second RayK checking the u-joints on the PTO shaft. I have been chasing a vibration problem on my G1800 with 900 hours for a while. I was chasing it on the engine, and couldn't make it get better. It was slowly degrading. I finally found the issue on the front u-joint on the HST PTO shaft...

I think you will find a wiring diagram here for the G1800. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/kubota-lawn-garden/167379d1275570747-g1800-electrical-problem-no-power-g1800-elec-jpg or here. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-lawn-garden/173973-g1800-electrical-problem-no-power.html

Recommend you search here about G1800 electrical problems. I have a G1800, and have had my share of electrical issues. I have had bad starter, and a bad voltage regulator killed battery and probably helped kill the dynamo. And I have had to clean the posts on the ignition switch, and was...

I agree with getting a ticket based on tire ratings, or axle ratings. The only axle rating I know of is the 20,000 placed on SEMI type trucks. Again, the manufacturer sets a GVWR for warranty, or I suspect to protect themselve in a civil case if there is a failure of their vehicle. But the...

Thanks for both answers actually. My current hitch says 7500 weight 1000 tongue or 12000 weight 1500 tongue with weight distribution. So I guess i can get either a class V hitch or distribution sway bars. I plan to tow about 4.5 hours to the hunting property, so I might like the anti-sway...

I really like where you installed the valve. Great idea and definitely better protected and out of the way.

Is there a trailer load weight where it makes sense to use a weight distribution hitch? Used them with RVs before. Wasn't thinking of one pulling tractor and bush hog on trailer. Any rule of thumb to follow for when they are helpful?

Nice looking trailer. I'm actually considing looking at the 22 ft version of that one tomorrow. Just reviewing this site and see my Duramax Hitch from Chevy is only rated at 7000 pounds of weight carrying. Does that mean I need to replace it with a more heavy duty hitch if I am going to be up...

I think the GVWR is a number created by the manufacturer. It is odd to me that law enforcement would use a company created number to decide about issuing a ticket. If you read the DOT rules for semi's, I can't find mention of the manufacturer's ratings. Anyone know why this would be different...

I bought some T6 last week. When I got home I realized there were only 4 quarts in the bottle. Wasn't it 5 quarts a few months ago? Am I confused or getting forgetful?

Agreed, good deal on a nice tractor. I have the XR4046 with shuttle and love that think Only 8 hours, and it was delivered with 4, but I am really enjoying it. Feels heavy duty and the grapple is my favorite so far.

Folks, it took more time to figure this out than to do the install. Getting comfortable that I was tapping into the hydraulics correctly took the most time. Attached is a write up with some pictures that may help others. Rich TITLE: Installing 3rd function remote on LS XR4046 I installed a...

Jaydee325. Thanks for the info That is pretty straightforward. I will put that on my list of upcoming projects. Since I will fuse the circuit at 10 amps, I'm assuming I can use a 20 amp or 30 amp relay, as the fuse the restrictive factor. That sound correct? Again I understand the relay...

so I understand that a relay would be the best. Not sure what to buy to do that. I'm assuming I would run a wire from the battery to the relay and charge the relay through the ignition switch. Do you have recommended parts for that? I am certainly willing to rewire for the long term benefits.

Thanks for the help all. INstalled and working nicely. Just need to better constrain the hydraulic lines at the front of the loader. Planning on some kind of bracket to attach to loader.

In case others want a source. ON the back of the ingnition switch are 6 posts. 3 were used, and one of the other 3 provided 12V when the key was turned on. Used it to power the 3rd function, and is working fine. The YELLOW wire in the pic is the one that provided a 12V source. Fused the wire...

Yes, my mistake. It is W.R. Long.

The kit has different fittings that replace the banjo fitting on both ends of the removed hydraulic line. The new 3rd function valve goes inbetween the power beyond value and where it returns to rear remotes. It is the L.R. Long kit.

thanks for confirmation. WIll tackle it in the morning.

Thanks. That confirms what I was thinking. There is a post on the ignition key that goes hot when the key is turned on. I am planning of tapping into that with a fused wire to power the remote valve.

Re: How to remove Power Beyond Fitting on LS 4046 Ok, well glad I asked and I am all stop until I am sure I have the correct line. Here is a better pic of the entire loader control value. Line 4 is coming out the bottom and going back to the remote control valve (I think that drives the 2...

Installing the W.R.Long 3rd function remote. Anyone alreadyi found a convenient source of power for the joy stick? 10 amps desired. Thanks, Rich

For mudstopper. It is line 4 in this picture. The G822S03 to the left is the loader value. The G827S01 is the Remote Control Value. So I am pretty certain that it is the Power Beyond Port. Definitely don't want to be wrong......

I'm installing a 3rd function on a LS 4046. I have to remove the power beyond value, and then attach this to the grapple valve kit. Here is a picture of the fitting to be removed. It looks like it has a nut on both the top and the bottom of the off coming hydraulic hose. How do I remove the...

wow, more good info. Thanks.... I will definitely get the grade 70 or 80 chain, depending on what is available locally at Lowes or Tractor Supply. All good info. I will also purchase a clevis for the drawbar. Rich

Ok, thanks that answers both my questions really. I will buy a trailer in a couple months and will get the bigger chain for that. And definitely the lighter 5/16 makes sense for using around the property and I will pick that one up soonest. Thanks for answering.

I am not finding anything with the search engine. What size chain and which type steel should I purchase for a 4046 (46 HP) tractor. Nothing planned, just occasionally lifting, maybe pulling a log or something out of the ditch, lifting something out of the truck. etc. And what length is most...

So I'm curious. Are the tractors exactly the same except for paint? Or is the sheet metal and fenders and options different? Are there other differences? I just got the XR4046 and I'm curious why there are a lot of warning lights on the dash not used. Wondering if maybe New Holland uses them?

I just found manuals here. LJ Patterson Sales & Service | Used Heartland, Arctic Cat dealership in Dieppe, NB E1A 7G1

Congrats, very nice machine.

Thanks for the info. When I was driving around I stood up and thought something would happen with weight off seat. But tractor kept going normally. That was surprising.

Thanks all. Drove it around the property today to get used to it and realized I need to order 3rd function remote and grapple tomorrow. Trees are taking over the fields and fencelines. And so I am waiting for an owners manual from the dealer, and at 4.1 hours on the tractor, two dash lights...

Happily took delivery of a XR4046 with loader yesterday. Plan on getting the 3rd function remote, grapple, bush hog, box blade for use on my 20 acres here and for deer plots off location (trailer) where we hunt. Looking forward to getting the property cleaned up around here. :thumbsup:

I found the problem, a fuel restriction coming out of the fuel tank. Changed all the lines and didn't check the tank when I had it drained the first time. Logic fell out the window that day. So in the interim, the tractor owner had a different friend come over and look and he loosened up all...

I have replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the water separator. I also replaced the check value on the top of the tank when I replaced the fuel lines. Same issue surging, loosing power, and stalling out after about 1 minutes. Replace the lift pump. Still no improvement. Not sure what...

So I prime the tractor and get it running. It runs for a minute or two and quits. Then there is air in the 30 micron filter and has to be primed again. It will start and die out in a couple of minutes. Repeats that way as long as you want... So I am assuming there is a pin hole leak between...

So have same loss of power black smoke issue on 5095. two questions. I can't find the second check value on the parts diagram up by the 30 micron filter. Can you tell me which drawing to look at. Also the bleed procedure is just for the 30 micron filter. How do you bleed the water separator...

Thanks for the comments. It mowed great for an hour, and then the dynamo froze up. Found a great thread here and fixed that for about $14 of Kutoba bearings. Tractorbynet is a great resource. The G1800 mows so well now I'm even going to wax it today.......Rich

Great thread. I just replaced the bearings on my Dynamo for a Kubota G1800. The parts diagram said three bearings, but there were only two when I took it apart. Not sure? ? Prett easy and $7 per bearing from local Kubota dealer who had them in stock. Cleaned up bearing surfaces with emery...

Here is a pic of the G1800 front PTO parts to help get a reference. I called out the pto shaft and front axle support.

Post 3 of this fix. The biggest surprise was the way the grease flows to the bearings. In this picture you can see the grease hole in the front axle support. Grease goes into this hole and supplies the PTO shaft with grease. Push the grease though that hole and the grease fills the space...

Post 2 of 3 on this fix. My second concern was getting the correct length grease fitting because I thought if it was too long and up against the PTO shaft, that grease wouldn't go in. Since I had to special order the front axle support I also ordered the OEM Kubota grease fitting. Notice in...

Post 1 of 3 on this fix. There is a happy ending! I just got time to put it back together this morning. I learned several things that I will share that might help non-pros who fix their own stuff. First the issue was the front PTO bearings on my G1800 garden tractor had come apart. The...

Thanks. What I assumed, but ........ Rich

The bearings came apart in the front PTO of my G1800, and I have it apart to replace them all. They were in pieces so I couldn't tell the direction of the oil seal on the bearing. Looking at this pic, bearing (part #30) has ball bearings on one side, and an rubber oil (?) seal on the other...

I found my problem, although it required taking the front end apart to find it. When I took the front PTO shaft out, I ended up with a handful of ball bearings and the bearing housing is stuck in the front axle support (PTO shaft goes into that). That explains the serious squeal I have been...

Good grief. What a great idea I should have thought of. Thanks for the help.

I haven't been able to get the zerk on a G1800 front PTO shaft to take grease. Finally backed it out a few turns and it took grease. I think the threads are too long and it is up against the shaft so no grease can go in. I found this with suggest different thread lenghts for grease fittings...

Trying to help a friend with her 5095 with cab. Radio installed at dealership years ago and when she turns off tractor, radio station presets go away. Does anyone know which colored wire on the tractor harness has constant power. I need to hook up the radio's yellow wire to it, but was hoping...

I have a G1800. There was a optional PTO kit for the front of the G1800. It makes a short shaft on the front side of the forward PTO. Part number for the PTO kit is 66101-82500. I'm not sure if this was for a snowblower or not? I've tried to attach a picture of what the front PTO kit looks...

I have an L3710 with a 72" MID-MOUNT MOWER, so it is probably very similar to your tractor. I only do it with the bucket on the tractor. I leave the tractor on the ground and remove 2 pins from the lift chains the single pin from the rear link stay. Then I remove the 4 pins from the left and...

Ok, I finally found the timing window, it is behind the front end loader frame. I had to remove the right side of the frame to get access to the timing window. In case others want to know the tractor had just over 800 hours and values were still pretty close and the tractor still ran smooth...

Help! I am doing the 800 hr service and ready to adjust the valves. The kubota manual does not show the location of the timing window and it doesn't seem to be back in the area of the flywheel. Could it be covered up with the front end loader frame? Anyone know where to look? Thanks, Rich

I have a G1800 with 54" deck and just over 500 hours. Great mower, cut is great with sharp bldes, and the bagger works very well picking up grass and leaves. A very heavy duty deck that will last a long time if you keep the rust off. In deep thick grass, the 16 HP diesel on the G1800 is at the...

The files seem good and open fine with Adobe Reader. I reloaded them to media books. Thanks Rich

My cable Tach on a L3710 is doing the same thing. I took the Tach out of the dash panel. The cable turns what looks like a small clutch system that uses a spring to work against the spinning clutch. I cleaned it out and that didn't help. I put lubricant on it and it got better, but it is...

You can check the thermistor if you have a multimeter (ohms at spec) You can check continuty of the wire between the thermistor and glow controller if you have a multimeter. (Resistance near zero) You can check that 12V power is getting to the glow plug relay and glow controller using the...

Not sure if the L2900 glow system is similar to the L3710 system. I read through the maintenance manual on how the glow plug system worked in detail. When the system is working, you turn the key to on and the glow controller checks the temperature, then energizes the glow plug relay...

The RPM on my L3710 is still 3000 plus when its running. The cable seems to spin freely with no damage on inspection. I took apart the easy checker and got the tach head out. It looks like the cable turns a clutch mechanism that converts the spinning cable into an RPM indication. When I spin...

Did you ever find the fix? Mine on an L3710 just went wacky also. Turn key off and it settles above 3000 rpm. Start the tractor and it vibrates in the high 3000s. It has 750 hours and I recently got it so I don't know if the cable has ever been lubed. Anyone else had this one or know what...

Thanks for sharing. I got something in the garage that looks like that and I haven't tried it out yet. I would have never thought to look for clearance. Rich

A New Glow Plug Controller fixed the problem. Crank time is better (2-3 seconds) the battery voltage is only around 11-12 V and drops some when lights are turned on, so I will change it out also. I couldn't measure specific gravity, but voltage seems lower than one would expect. Believe it is...

Ok, After long hours of troubleshooting and checking wires/switches/etc everything looks ok, except there is not check for the controller. I agree I'm picking up a new glow plug controller tomorrow. thanks, Rich

Two good points. I grew up in Michigan so I guess from that perspective I do have a heated garage here in Alabama. Second, if I turn it off and start it in the next minute or two, it still takes 5 to 7 seconds to crank. Even though it runs fine after start, it will drive me buggy that it...

Ok, thanks, I had a feeling 5 to 7 seconds of crank time wasn't right. I'm in northern Alabama and tractor is inside an unheated garage. I'll get the manual and tester out this weekend and test glow plugs and the controller. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks again, Rich

I recently bought a house and with the house came a L3710 (750 hours) and G1800 (350 hours) to mow the 7 acres of grass. The glow plug light on the dash of the L3710 was not coming on at all, even with the temperation down below 45 degrees. The tractor would start every time after 5 to 7...
