You have impressive skills. I was up at 3am and started watching this. Couldnt sleep and got fascinated by a hydrostatic drive being repaired. Called a couple of times no answer. My number ends in 28.
Hey my friend I’m always happy to see you here!!🙂🙂 lol I have trouble sleeping myself, I’ll have to look back in my phone, I get so many telemarketer calls so I usually don’t answer out of state calls next time leave a message and I’ll call u back, however my phone service is really bad if I’m down at the shed the phone only gets texts (sometimes)
Nice fix on the hydrostatic trans. I had a similar issue where the bushing was covering the holes. I pressed it out and added some loctite & pressed it back in. It's been going strong for 7 years now!
Big fan of the older Kubotas from the 80s I had a Kubota l2550 tractor loved that thing.. thanks again for another informative video I almost bought one of those guy wanted to much money
Right on!! I love the engine on this mower but I’m still not a big fan of the rear end or mower deck the G series are made muchhh better like the g1800 and g1900
That mis-aligned bushing was definitely the main problem with your hydrostatic drive, but I suspect that the brakes were dragging also because the pivot was so seized! You are simply masterful with all your repairs!
Glad you’re back. Missed your video very much. Hope you’re health is doing much better and that God will continue to bless you, you’re family, and your work. 2:46
I bought and refurbished mine 3 years ago. It's a 1995 w/750hrs. The universal joints on the transaxle driveshaft were shot. It's been awesome ever since. I prefer this to any new one today. Built to last with good maintenance.
Now that’s a good save! It must be a kubota thing to have all the hinges / linkages rust up. Lol! Mine didn’t have a smooth moving part on it when I saved it from the junkyard.
👍👍👍👍👍👌Great job fixing a known problem and repairing the other less apparent problems you came across along the way, nice job on refurbishing the deck to better than new!!!
Great fix. A few bucks of consumables, & your time, along with initial cost & transportation, you got a great mower. Kubota diesels are known for lasting a long time, & often outlast the machines they are fitted to.
Brown widow are spiked Black are smooth. Brown as venomous, but do not inject the quantity as black. Love your videos! You are a master mechanic, and meticulous! Great job!!
Nice 2 cil Diesel engine. Don't think we have them here in Europe. Keep de mower deck clean after mowing and it will be strong for many years to come. Thanks for sharing! Marten
Very nice video my friend, loved the reinforcement bar trick, top notch! I noticed also like other viewers have mentioned that some subtle changes in editing went a long way, you can tell you have polished your skills in the computer side of things, the synchronization of the time elapses and music is on point. I am so happy every time you post, is entertaining, I learn a ton and also get the chance to see that you are doing well, priceless! Keep them coming chief.
thank u so much man!! it takes me forever to edit videos and my computer wants to blow up lol I need a new one but I work with what I got and try my best, thank u for everything!!🙂🙂
I've got my grandfather's T1600 that he bought new in around 1990. First piece of equipment i learned to operate. I remember long summers of cutting grass at his rental properties on it as a kid. Was still using it the cut the grass at my own house until two years ago when the transaxle started leaking badly. That particular Eaton is a known lemon (I've got the same one) but they changed it out for an upgraded model on the later machines. There's a serial number break in the service manual that talks about it. Anyways, I was just holding onto it to have the engine for an undetermined future project, but seeing one run again tempts me to put it back in service as a mower. Great memories if nothing else. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for posting this video. I just picked one of these up, while I didnt have the hydrostat issue (yet) the teardown and reassembly of the parts of the mower was helpful to watch it done for future use. I just got a workshop manual for it, so this video combined with that I feel confident I can tear into it if needed. Its absolutely a cool and unique mower and im super happy to have it.
29:46 im betting the vibration from that bad ujoint may have caused the cracking in the deck, thing literally vibrated itself to pieces. Also, that front ujoint should have either a pin you depress or a tapered bolt you dtive out to remove the shaft from the output on the mower, that way you don't have the shaft hanging down
As usual you did it again ,it sure is mind boggling how you investigate and spot the issues . And even more so how you fix it with precision technique Was your dad or grandpa good at tinkering and if so did they let you help You sure are good at what you do I enjoy watching in amazement Thanks again
dude, that would be so awesome. However, there’s no way this transaxle good hold up to that I would have to swap it out with a more heavy duty rear end.
You are one of the best mechanics on UA-cam and I am not kidding. I will pray that your health gets better. When ya'll got that dump truck I thought before you did it, it was an exercise in futility to weld the tip back on that brake holding pin. I am sure wrecking yards have lots of those pins holding in drum brakes, but you pulled it off. Kudos to you for your ability. The design on this trans was poorly done and conceived and methods of holding those ports for correct flow seems to me to be knurling the shaft with a hammer and center punch, or after cleaning it with brake cleaner to put red locktite on the silly thing. I will pray for your good health.
@@TheHomePros6221 When you study hydromatic transmissions what you will find inside is a swashplate piston pump. What fails on these is the brass swash plate. If you just used crocus cloth on a glass plate you could easily resurface this swash plate for very little.
I believe I would fishplate those top cracks with plates up underneath. So the plates would be welded up under the top braces. I feel you did a most excellent restoration of this Kubota. It would now be worth 5 times what ya'll paid for it.
Much respect for all the camera angles, love the vids ive always wanted to build some kind of cart with a kubota engine maybe if the axle goes bad again we can see something cool with the engine in the future 👍
thanks again it’s tough and takes forever but I’m glad u enjoyed it, I actually was thinking the same thing as I really don’t need this mower but I love the engine!!
Seconded! I loved the "blade-o'-grass cam" angle, was clenching up waiting for the camera to get pulled up into the blades but was relieved when it didn't happen. So much drama! :D
Wow you got a smoking deal on that mower, the engine alone is worth what you paid. I own a g1800 kubota so I’m not familiar with the T series kubota but if it’s like the G series you will be amazed at the fuel economy mowing with it. I’ve had my g1800 for years now and can say it is a major fuel sipper, I’m constantly amazed at the fuel economy on it. I also own a b7500 kubota set up for mowing as well it’s an excellent mower as well but can’t hold a candle to the fuel efficiency of the G. Excellent job diagnosing and repairing that transmission. I also read some of the comments on how zero turns are the only way to go, personally I prefer my tractor style mowers. Zero turns are excellent if you make a living mowing or if all you are going to do is mow but I prefer the versatility of a tractor.
that’s awesome!! does yours have the same transaxle? I can’t remember, and you are correct however I have a John Deere garden tractor that has all wheel steer and I love it it’s the best of both worlds!
@@TheHomePros6221 no the G series has a totally different hydrostatic set up, they are much larger transmissions, and are set up with hydraulic deck lift, and rear 3 point lifts. They were offered in 2 wheel or 4 wheel steer, mine is a 2 wheel steer with a 3 cylinder diesel and all shaft drive like yours. I bought mine used from the original owner. He used it to mow his 6 acres so this thing has lots of hours on it the hour meter quit at 1100 hours. I was told by the original owner the hour meter had stopped years ago so I estimate this thing has at least 3000 hours on it, probably more than that if I knew for sure. I also had to replace a few wear items such as deck and transmission universal joints, deck gearbox seals, and a couple hydrostatic o rings that had hardened and dried out. My hydrostatic trans a few years ago did the same as yours and i thought it was going out, it ended up being 2 seals were bad on the hydraulic pump suction line letting air in the system, I replaced the seals and it’s as good as new. Even with as many hours as this thing has it still uses no oil and starts right up and mows excellent. I still say you made a smoking deal, enjoy that mower have a great day.
Found a old push mower in the trash, I welded up the deck as it was cracked, painted it, Rings were worn so I homed and threw new rings in, thing ran like a champ, Gave it to my neighbor, someone stole hers. Love finding stuff like this to work on.
You got one heck of a deal on that! The engine alone was worth more than $500, around me they would be trying to sell one with a rod hanging out the side of the block and half the parts missing for like 2k. Great job fixing it up as well!
@@TheHomePros6221 If you look hard enough in my area you can probably find someone trying to sell one for 2k stating the infamous "Ran when I parked it!" with an obvious as all day rod hanging out the giant gaping hole in the block... I don't mind insulting idiots that waste my gas going out to look at it when they lie like that, so I should start a youtube video of their reaction when I ask "What was it running when you put it away again? Oil out the side? That is what most us call F**ked! Also I don't own a scrap metal refinery so you just pi**ed my off wasting my time!" Also 2k on anything not running better be a brand new LazerZ, spartan, or Wright zero turn with a 72in deck......"
Great Video Ive had my 89 t1600 for 11 years and hit 1200hrs! Deck has been welded & reinforced countless times with chasing those cracks! Now my hydro is leaking debating on what to do. Seems like that eaton 750 doesnt have much for parts anymore other than used ebay hydro’s
Excellent Video! Very good detail. I'm thinking about one of these for a Gold cart conversion (Electric to Diesel). Lots of problems with these HST's. Used in wide variety of small tractors, including JDeere. Again, Excellent Video.
thank you very much my friend John Deere actually uses the tough torque transmissions, which are made a whole lot better in my opinion than this one now the G series kubotas have a much heavier duty transmission that is far better than this one
Have you seen how much is deck U-joint from tractor side is pooched? One you have fixed was only stuck, other one has missing bearings. You can see that at 32:45
Wonderful video!! I have 3 questions. 1.How did you learn how to work on so many different types of machines? 2. You have a magnificent shop. How long did it take to get everything you need and who taught you how to use the various pieces of equipment ? 3. I'm extremely jealous of your patience and expertise. Can I be your apprentice?
thank you very much! I am self taught, ever since I was a kid I was always taking stuff apart and seeing how it works. I got into R/C cars when younger and learned a lot from that as well, you just got to have a want to learn and have a passion for it, im always watching videos fixing stuff and you can learn a ton from that, im also not scared to tackle somthing it’s always a learning experience 👍😊
Those machines are a good tractor Kubota made a 1900 model with a 3 cylinder engine rock solid machine . Cutti g decks always crack. The original design is by shibaura and are still made by them expensive little buggers but very good .they were also badged Ford and ransomes I have been watching your videos your learning very well good to see a young man having a go.
Your one of the kind....bravo 👏🏻👍🏻💯 You are on the right path....keep it up.. soon you are gonna hit the 1st Million Subscribers.....just hold on 👌🏻 greetings from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🌴 💐
I just sold my T1600 with a smoked starter for 600. Their cool when they run but very troublesome tractors when they want to be. Hope she treats you good!
There’s a very good job fixing now the lawn more is it to fix some other stuff on a day off that was in bad shape and like you said you liked it diesel engine anyways so keep it up the good job God bless

The original design is by shibaura and are still made by them expensive little buggers but very good .they were also badged Ford and ransomes I have been watching your videos your learning very well good to see a young man having a go.
Right on the 1900 is a much better built machine

Those small Kubota engines are more or less indestructible, used in cargo refridgeration units, running 24/7.
