I am sorry for your misfortune gpfw. Maybe your helpful comment will alert others to this ring tail.... bordercollie
 
Thanks, everyone. It may be worth $14 just to have the service schedules and pictures and directions on how to change the fluids and filters.
 
Udate on CD service manual. The CD seems to be a mixture of more than one year of Kubota service manuals. The introduction and general information is from 2004 but the technical data is from 2008. My machine is a 2007 so this will work for me.
 
Nice of you all to respond. Your information is appreciated. I know that peanut is a skilled craftsman from the photos of his "stick stoppers" and I have ordered a set for my machine, but I must find a south Louisiana translator to decipher his post(-:
Maybe he will give you a schematic of where the METRIC bolts go.:pat:
 
A wiring diagram shows how the wires are connected devices (pin or connection numbers), what their color code is, what pins they connect to, etc. It's extremely useful for trouble shooting. I'm an electrical engineer and the first thing I go for if there is an electrical problem is the wiring diagram. The circuitry on something like an RTV isn't rocket science. If there is an issue, the problem is what is connected where - for that the wiring diagram is your friend.

My RTV900 service manual has a very useful wiring diagram on page 8-M1. In addition to that diagram, there is a system specific diagram for the various electrical systems in the electrical section of the manual. Between the various diagrams in the electrical section I've never had an electrical problem I couldn't solve on the RTV, or our ZD21 (using the ZD21 service manual).

My issue with the RTV service manual is with the mechanical part. While has nice tables of torque values and specifications it's really sparse on take down and reassembly instructions compared to the automotive manuals I'm used to working with. The expanded parts drawings on the Kubota web site are invaluable for figuring out what has to be done. And they are free.

One use for the Cds is to take them to Kinkos and get a printed copy made, It will usually be cheaper than buying the official Kubota printed manual.
