In this video I bring you along as I service the 60" mower deck on my Kubota B2601 Tractor. It is due for its 50hr service. I demonstrate how to take the deck on and off, how to change the gear box oil, how to remove the belt as well as how to take the blades on and off. I also show you how to install the PTO shaft back on the splines if it were to slip off.
-Enjoy!

This brings back memories of our Doberman Darth (as in Darth Vader) who used to jump and swim in the pool with us; she would even jump off the diving board on command. I have noticed owning my Kubota B8200 for 35 years now, that these are not automobiles or trucks, and the parts are smaller and cannot handle the abuse or torques we put on the cars. So. I'm more careful with the repairs! I found this out repairing a universal joint on the front wheel drive where I was bending the yoke in the press! Easy big boy!!

I believe blade rotation is to even out the wear on the lift portion of the blade. The right hand blade sees more grass clippings and other debris from the left and center blades and the lift portion of the blade will wear out. I have a ton of oak trees and the acorns would do a number on that left portion of the blade.

I have the non-drive over deck, with them, you turn the gauge wheels 90 degrees to the deck, and roll the deck out from under the tractor...to move my deck around I use the pallet forks on my tractor too.

@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz Год назад
Well he just showed you how it is not bad at all for the Kubota. If your zero turn has three blades, then taking them off the sharpen is a wash. Fact is, the Kubota tractors with the diesel engines won't even know or care if the grass is tall or wet (though generally nobody is gonna mow with it tall and wet to avoid heavy clumping killing the grass). And you can just buy the tractor to use as a mower, but with the TLB you have the loader and the backhoe, something the zero turn can't possibly do.

we always put a bar in the front mount (or use the link) lift it up from there and drained it from the fill hole. then you are right there at the blades. fwiw kubota branded oils are made at valvoline last i knew. check the oil in that gearbox often. the design makes it hard to see a leak and last gearbox i did was about 700.00 for just gears and brgs no labor. with the driveshaft make sure the outer lock collar is even or flush with the center drive hub. all it takes is a small piece if dirt under a lock ball to not latch in place. a bad day is a driveshaft. a really bad day is a transmission housing. done a few of those.

Eric, dare I say, the measuring cup that Round-Up Weed killer supplies with the quart size container is the perfect size for getting into tight spots. I also use the same cup for oil changes on my Honda EU2000 generator, since Honda didn't think that far ahead to include a engine oil drain hole. Kubota machines are well designed for the most part. At least they didn't go with a sealed for life gear box/transmission like most new vehicles come with
@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz
@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz Год назад
New vehicle transmissions are NOT sealed for life. Don't believe what the manufacturers tell you. You still have to service the transmission by dropping the pan. They purposefully don't give you a dipstick. They don't want you to service the transmission fluid or know how it has deteriorated and have that be an easy place to refill when you are done from up top. Then when it fails for lack of service, you buy a new car. Alternatively, they purposefully make it harder for the do it yourselfer because they want you to take it in for service if you are aware enough to know it still needs to be serviced, but are intimidated to do it yourself.
@gungadinn
@gungadinn Год назад
@@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz Lisa, I know that the location of the dip stick tube on the transmission has a block-off plug instead of a dip stick. A friends 2017 or 2018 Ford F-150 had the dip stick delete. The manufacturers are doing everything they can within the law to thwart the Right to Repair laws. Make it difficult to service, and it goes to a shop. The Indy shops have to pay for a subscription to computer resources like Service Data or the manufacturers specific diagnostic software. As for me purchasing a new vehicle to replace one that failed due to "Sealed for Life BS, probably isn't going to happen.

Eric.. If you take your wheel pins and just grind a little chamfer on the end, it will start in the hole 10x easier. Doesn't take much. I assume your spring loaded deck pins are already that way- if not, pull them off and grind their tips also. Makes life so much easier.
