The dealer had the orange when I went by this afternoon. Ordered a couple cans of gray for touching up RTV and my tractor from Amazon. Will do touch up on both this weekend. Also got a couple fuel filters for the RTV. Hoping changing it out will help with the performance issue. Looked up a...

Definitely going with the Kubora gray. Thanks for the confirmation. Will use it to touch up spots on the RTV and my tractor. Tractor is late 90's B2710. Initially thought it would be older (Kubota Orange 1), but now reading Kubota may have switched to Orange 2 in about 1989, so maybe I need...

Looking for the older orange too for my tractor. Think the gray is the same on the tractor and RTV.

While I am in here today...anyone have recommendations on a rattle can spray paint for the gray? I have scrubbing up a few little rust spots, treating and wanted to make look nicer.

Thanks for the advice Authoritis...will look into how to adjust the HST linkage. I had the floorboards spray lined. The guy who did it told me I had some dirt underneath. So, I pulled the covers. Wow! Hoped this might be part of the problem...found several inches of dirt, live ant beds...

Thanks Aurhoritus...I had heard as you are saying 25-27. Disapointing since the machine is a 2016, not an old clunker. Hoping I didn't buy something with major issues.

So stick to Kubota for transmission. Can do that. Performance may be an issue...so far high speed has been 17 mph and that was only once. Didn't buy it for speed, but does seem a little slow. Definitely don't live where it snows. SE Texas. We get a dusting once every several years.

Hello Keifer...thanks for your input! I have bought three cans of Fluid Film and will give it a try and see how much it helps. Still looking for the frame or maybe even a new bed. Not sure what that would cost, haven't called Kubota dealer yet. Had hoped to find a used or aftermarket one. I...

Really nice set up! Thanks.

Did find parts diagrams on Messick's. Might could call them. Thanks for the start! If anyone knows a link for the plastic panels or the metal frame please let me know. Also...do the plastic panels just bend a little and pop in and out?

Ah...roll bars...okay. Thanks, Maine! Ohio Pawpaw...thanks for the link, I may not have searched it right, but only found wraps for current plastic panels, not replacement panels or the metal frame for them. Same with Messick's. I may just not be searching correctly.

Thanks for the welcome 2 Guns. Really great resources here and great of folks to share advice with rookies!

Thank you BCZOOM...I would love to see your pics. I am intending a roof mount LED bar. Not being familiar with the term ROPS (seen several times on the forum) I am guessing they are the down tubes from roof frame? I am familiar with ram mount from motorcycle applications. I'll give them a...

Thanks for the welcome Bordercollie and congrats on your long running equipment. I have seen A LOT of your posts and see you have much experience with them. My "new" 1140 has about 650 hours and other that what I noted it is in great shape. Already had several uses for it. Hauled limbs to...

Thanks Authoritis...I will check that out.
