    Slick removal of that oil drain plug - no oil running up your forearm and didn’t drop the plug in the draining container. I usually manage to do both, and once even managed to put my foot in the bowl of old oil. That was many decades ago when I lived at home and ran a 1967 Mini Cooper, and was wearing my Dad’s favourite tan gardening shoes, one of which was black thereafter!!

    There is also a small inline filter under the joysticks for hydraulic oil which is part of the 1000 hour service but it often overlooked.

    if you're doing another vid on that machine its worth removing the wear pads bolted on the side for the tracks ( topside) as they might need building back up with some weld like i do every year to save replacing them.

    • @CalamityKim1

    Nice job , I work on kubota daily and there so straight forward and easy , I spotted it's got a old 25l drum lid for a fuel cap, you might already be on the case but I've had a few collapse the tank due to the tank not being able to breathe, I did want to let you run into the same problem I did.
    keep up the good work and look forward to seeing your next vid 😉

      @@CalamityKim1 I did have the intention to drain the old fuel, remove the battery's and take the tanks off to prevent rust in the tanks. Was going to do this yesterday, but me being a wimp decided it was too cold.. Now I have to deal with this in colder weather because I was being lazy.. Bikes are outside, no shelter to work in.
