G1800/G1900 -- how do you disengage the HST to tow it? Or, can you?

[jas67]

The electric fuel pump on my G1800S died in the middle of my yard today. How does Kubota expect you to move these things when they're dead?

I ended up using the B7100's three point hitch, buy connecting my trailer-towing adapter via a ball-mount with the ball removed with a large pin to the towing tongue and lifting the back end up with the three-point hitch, and towing it backwards with the back end up the air. I'm sure the neighbors were impressed.

Anyway, there is a label on the thing warning, "Do not tow, damage will occur to the transmission".

Any recommendations on an inexpensive source of a new fuel pump?

I have the TG1860, on the right of the hydro there is a lever, push it forward to disengage.

Have a G2160 and there is no release valve and you cannot tow it.

I called Messick's on Monday, and had the replacement fuel pump yesterday. It is back on, along with a new fuel filter, and I'm back up and running. I didn't even have to bleed out the injectors, it ran rough for a minute or so, then smoothed right out!
