- Kubota M59, JD530, JD310SG. Restoring Yanmar YM165D
Looking into the Operator's Manual, I see that it is coming up on time to check the valve adjustment on the family Kubota.
There's no hint of malfunction, so I suppose we could just ignore it for a few more years, but these are nice engines and no point in not at least checking to see that the clearances are in the ballpark.
I'm actually looking forward to doing the job. Over the years in our tractor/bike/automotive work we must have checked valves on hundreds of engines, but this will be my first Kubota.
Others must have checked the valves on theirs. What did you find? Are there any special tricks to know?
Thanks,
rScotty
