I cranked up the bota to find out how much the new forks I built would lift and heard a rattle under the hood.
I stopped the engine, lifted the hood and found that the bracket that holds the air cleaner had broken at the base.
No big problem, it is just a strip of sheel metal wrapped around the plastic air cleaner.
I does make you a little ticked to see a strip of thin flashing materal used where a little bit heaver metel would have been just as easy to manufacture.
I made a temporary clamp using a strip of tie down strap for a trailer house which is probably better than the flashing strip Kubota used.
Photo attached, Remember check under the hood every time you plan on using your tractor.
