thanks for being patient everyone. I just got the Kubota back and it turns out that something was wrong with the injector pump. the mechanic didn't say what it was but they put a new one on and it is running great again. On a different note we just bought another brand new one and I am much...

Ya I was hoping to avoid it, but my work is piling up behind it, so it is time to bite the bullet. I will be sure to post the findings and keep everyone updated. I have been reading the forum for some time, I just finally joined for this issue. But I do love the forum and plan on sticking around

yes I agree, there is a lack of power on the engine side for whatever reason. I just replaced all of the fuel lines just to be safe, with no change. I am afraid to say that i may need to send this one to the dealer, because I am running out of time to be messing with it.

so I took a look at the injector pump and everything was clean, also there were no broken springs anywhere on the fuel delivery system and everything looked fine. I lowered the bed (hydraulic controls) and I noticed that the engine bogged down real bad, even though i was merely lowering the bed...

alright sorry I haven't responded guys, winter here means everything wants to break down. I checked over the fuel lines and everything seems to be nominal, but next time I head to the dealer I might buy some new hose just to be safe. I have run it without the air filter with no change to...

disconnected the return and blew some air through it. Blew right through no problem

I will double check the return a minute

and we are back. I could not get my hands on a pressure tester BUT I did have a new fuel pump on hand which I then installed and had no change in condition. It is still bogging down under any load.

okay I will see if I can get ahold of a pressure gauge of some sort.

I had noticed when I changed the fuel filter that the flow was pretty slow, so I build a new vent off of the top of the fuel tank and the fuel flowed much more freely, I did that last week with no change or improvement. Unfortunately I am not equipped to be able to test fuel pressure (my tool...

that is a really good point. I have not seen any smoke out of it at all. Sorry I forgot to address this earlier. Also I don't feel bad even if everything is tip top in the transmission. It just gives me a little more knowledge of the inner workings and after the 2500 hard hours it has it needed...

well I have torn into the pumps and everything seems to be in good working order. that being said there are two shafts, one with two pumps and one with a single pump. There doesn't seem to be any scoring or anything on pumps. the only thing is that the shaft on the left side spins freely in...

alright thanks for being patient. I wired the throttle wide open and took it for a test run, same results. Here in Iowa there is alot of mud and snow right now, so even on the flat terrain I was unable to go any further than 3/4 throttle without the engine bogging down to a crawl, of course...

Okay sorry for the delay. I am not on the farm right now but I will be back there tomorrow to do some more testing, I do not have the hand throttle option. It does start and idle just fine. It will also rev up in neutral perfectly fine. No missing or anything. Fuel pressure doesn't seem to be an...

I service all of my kubotas monthly and due a thorough service (transmission and everything aside from motor oil and air filters which are monthly) every six months. As long as I have done it I have used UDT 2 transmission fluid and kubota filters but I know for sure the person before me did not...
