Kubota Factory Service Manual

Does anyone here have one? If so what do you think of it? Is it detailed with good pictures and an easy to understand set of work instructions? It's kind of pricey at over $60 and I was just wondering if it was worth the expense.

I wouldn't bother until you need it. Most of the maintenance and repairs are pretty obvious...But if you want one....

If you think $60 is a lot for an OEM repair manual, you don't get out much. Kubota tractor repair manuals can be around $100 and they are a bargain compared to comparable Deere, NH, or CaseIH manuals for several hundred.

How many hours of dealer shop time can you buy for the price of the repair manual?

That might be the route I go, I just figured if it was decent I would snag one while they are readily available.:thumbsup:

It's not that $60 is a lot for an OEM repair manual it's that if the manual isn't very good it's not worth owning. I asked here hoping someone had seen the manual first hand to have an idea about whether it's worth purchasing or not. If the manual is no good then I consider $60 too much for it.

Does the manual have a wiring diagram? Sure would like to get one, if it's there I might 'spring' for the manual. I tried to do a 'look-see' at the dealers but almost got my hand slapped......

I'm not sure, I should know in the next couple weeks. I ordered one this Monday:thumbsup: The price was a little misleading, one manual was $67 and then the supplemental manual was another $35. I'm not sure what the supplemental manual was but I guess I'll find out:laughing:

The workshop manual does have wiring diagrams. My dealer let me look his over before ordering one. There is a separate parts manual that they will sell you but you can find a PDF version online for free. The pictures in the workshop manual are not the greatest. The parts manual helps in figuring things out.

I'd be interested in knowing where you find the pdf diagrams.
