The cab is great in winter but, any other time when outside temps are 50 or higher I must run the a/c or I cook in the cab. I would not recommend a cab without ac.

I have the same concerns with my older Mitsubishi 180D. I tried adding Marvel Mystery Oil but the engine was very hard to start, especially when cold. Almost wore down the battery.

Thanks DJ. You are right on. 549165R91 is the bearing that I want.

I bought this 185 lo boy as a project for the winter. It had broken belts from the engine fly wheel to the pto driving shaft. After replacing the belts and starting the engine, there is a terribly loud noise from that area. I think that the bearing in the assembly that adjusts belt tension is...

Hi folks. I just bought an older Furukawa mini excavator with a Kubota V2203 4 cylinder diesel. The key start switch is busted. Any old house key can be inserted to start the engine but more concerning is that I can not get the key into a position for heating the glow plugs. I found a web...

Rebuilding myself would not be a problem for my Case 580CK, but ordering the right parts for a Furukawa FX-040 is very difficult.

Yes. After sitting in the first shop for seven weeks I picked up the cylinder and brought it to another that measures the sizes of the needed seals. Picked it up 3 days later. But over $650? Is this typical? The only work needed was seals and rings.

I've seen three different TYM owners manuals for my T574 and there are mistakes on almost every page.

I have an older Furukawa FX-040 mini excavator. Some say it is a gray market knockoff of a Kubota FK-040. It has a Kubota V2203 engine. A couple of hydraulic cylinders leak fluid where the chrome rod goes into the cylinder otherwise it performed as it should. I took the cylinder off and...

I just bought an older Furukawa FX040 mini excavator. It has a 4 cylinder Kubota engine but that is all I know and can not find any specs or information online about the machine. Can anyone help me with this info or tell me where to look? I would at least like to know filter part numbers...

Thanks all for your replies. The owner did not have much knowledge other than what he had need to use. Hooray!!! All is well. TYM is sending me a brand new tractor.

My TYM 574 has had a problem since delivered and the dealer has been out over a dozen times, been hauled back to the dealership twice, and now TYM wants to haul it back from northeast PA to North Carolina for work. They have no clue as to why the engine warning light along with DPF light keeps...

Yes Woodstock Walt, it is an old Winco that was never used, just sitting in a barn, no pto shaft attached, that I bought for $500 plus about $200 for a new pto shaft. I tend not to put much stock in what manufacturers call horsepower. This 180D outperforms my Kubota BX2660 26 horsepower diesel...

Thanks all for the good information. The generator has an analog voltmeter with a green zone for proper operating speed. In addition, I will have a plug-in digital voltmeter to set the engine speed to get 120v output. I have not yet put the generator into practical operation but did try it...

I just bought a 15K watt generator which I will be putting on a 12K watt circuit. I will be attaching it to a Mitsubishi 180D three cylinder diesel tractor. The tractor has a three speed PTO. Running at the standard 540 setting, the engine will run at 2200rpm which is close to the max...
