I have my tractor in for that differential repair. The dealer suggested that the lifters should be adjusted, he said it should be done every 800 hours, I am at 1,450 hours, I don't know if the 800 hour adjustment was done, I bought it when it had 900 hours.
His quote was really quite high, $800, all labour and I think there shop rate is $140.
I've watch some Youtubes on the subject, it doesn't seem hard. Has anyone done their lifters? The ones I've seen have had Kubota out of the tractor. Can you move the crank from the front of the engine?
I have never done lifter adjustments but my Deere Z920 mower had lost power and eventually would not start. I spoke to the service mgr at the dealer and he said it was most likely the lifters, he said they should be checked every 400 hrs, the mower had 450 hrs. He was perfectly correct, once I adjusted them it started right away and has good power. I have a couple honda water pumps, both are getting to be harder to start so I am planning on checking the lifters.
Thanks
