    Kubota ZD326 Fuel Gauge/Electrical Issue

    Have a ZD326, 445 Hours. Noticed that the fuel gauge was not working. Temp gauge not working either. Pulled the Left Tank fuel sensor, no corrosion or obvious problems. Float seemed sound. Connection terminal and ground seemed OK. Any idea if these fuel sensors (K3181-62150) ever short out...

    HELP! My ZD326 kills when I move a handle

    I was cutting grass when it suddenly killed. It starts fine but if I move either handle to make it go it kills in a couple of seconds. It only runs with the handles fully extended apart. Another thing I noticed: It will now start without pushing down on the brake pedal and the brake pedal feels...

    ZD326 blade stops turning when in high grass

    My ZD326 was laid up for a couple of weeks while I repaired the fuel gauge and with the hot weather and lots of rain we have been having my grass grew rapidly and was a lot higher and thicker than usual. I also have a mulcher on it which makes it even harder to cut tall grass. I bought 2 new cup...

    ZD326 gas gauge stopped working

    My main gas gauge on my ZD326 stopped working and stays all the way down on empty. I suppose the float in the tank is at fault. How hard is this to repair or replace?

    I'm not paying $250 for a Kubota battery. Who knows of a good replacement battery that will fit in a zd326. My original battery is 9"Length, 4 5/8" Wide and 8 3/4" High. 475 CCA.

    ZD326 issues

    I have a Kubota zd326. One day the wife went to mow, it would not start. I was kind of busy so I just crossed the starter and got it going. A couple hours later after she was done it wouldn't shut off. So I hopped on it, engaged the blades and got off the seat. It kept running. Finally just...

    Mowing  ZD326 - pulling out of the mud

    I have had to winch my ZD326 out of the mud a few times. Is there anything I can/should do to make it safer and/or easier? My old lawn tractors had a lever to release the hydrostatic transmission and allow free turning of the wheels. Is there anything like that on the ZDs? Th-Advance-anks

    Anyone heard of someone swapping out the rear discharge deck on the ZD 326 for a normal side discharge? My love fest for my rear discharge is over.

    ZD326 light switch

    Did the factory lights option for a ZD326 come with a light switch? I don't see one listed in the parts diagram. I'm adding some lights to our mower and don't see a good place to put a switch that isn't going to look out of place.

    Like the thread title states: My ZD runs fine off the left tank but not the right. I can literally turn the engine on and off simply by switching from one tank to the other. And I just filled both tanks! :banghead: So, I *assume* that the intake for the right tank is clogged or stopped up...

    ZD326 72" not recommended for mulching

    I bought a new ZD326 60" with a mulching kit. Naturally, you have to mow a little slower with a mulching kit since the grass is getting mulched under the mower instead of just being thrown out. So far I am very satisfied with my mower but with our heat and heavy rains in south Louisiana the...

    What blades for ZD326?

    Our ZD326 with 60" deck needs new blades and I'm leaning towards a set of Gator G6 blades but am open to suggestions if there's something better. Don't really need aggressive mulching but something that would chop up tall grass a little bit better would be nice.

    ZD326 Rear tire options?
