Nice work cleaning up that 20YO tractor with the very faded rims - it came out surprisingly good and looks almost like a new one! Appreciate the before and after pics.
Does it have low hours too - 5 or 600?
No, it was a mower for a local state college, they apparently had there own mechanic(s), while I was at the local Kubota dealer the lady at the parts counter told me they had few Kubota's, and frequently came in for parts and supplies ... The only thing really that it "needs" is the two belts replaced, I have those now, and also the radiator hoses, the fluids all looked good, even though the selling Kioti dealer did not do anything but check it out. I use to be a mechanic at a big truck shop 40 years ago ...
So less than 200 hours a year, I do more than that on my SCUT! In some of our trucks we have Auxiliary Power Units (APU's) that share our engine coolant, and provide our driver HVAC needs while parked, plus keep the batteries full charged, makes for easy winter starts when engine is already 100Ā°! We normally run them for 12,000 - 15,000 hours, the Carrier Brand uses little Kubota engines, ThermoKing makes there own I believe ... This one runs strong and steady!
oh my...nice luster & cleanup....ready for a tractor show.....but what we like to see in the forum is mud & dirt on the tractor doing real work. good job on the new addition, tho let's get down to the task & the nitty gritty. good job
No mud now ... But ... I've gotten tractors "dirty" before, to the extent if needed to be rescued!
