PROBLEM AFTER 50 HOUR SERVICE

 The fuel filter was changed two days ago, on the first visit..........They didn't touch the fuel filter today......They didn't even mention the fuel filter today.........I told my contractor and excavating friends today when I got back from the dealer, and they figured out that it was the fuel filter and not the Hyd or Hst filters.......

When I got there today the Service manager switched the orange filter with the tan filter for just two minutes and  then put new filters and new super udt in the machine.....He put the orange filter in the back and the tan filter on the right side facing the rear of the machine..........The tan filter on the left side facing the rear of the machine was not touched or changed today...It was changed two days ago............

I had the machine out tonight and it seems to be running better that in ever ran before................The service manager should of picked up on the fuel filter issue, but he missed the boat on this one......

I hope I made myself clear.........If not just ask me for more info......

Thanks for all the help........

 I'm happy Rusty Advil that you got it going your way.  Fuel filters stopping up will drive a person crazy.

 Must of got some air in the system during the changing. It happens to us all .....

 Word of advise, >>>>>>> always keep a spare fuel filter, they are very cheap, and will save you one day.

 The more you run your RTV, the better it runs.

 Jamie,

Thanks for all your help and your concern......

I vote that something was blocking, or bypassing, the hydro fluid flow.  In the first posting you said it would rev up like it was in neutral so it sounds like the engine was getting fuel.   Also, Kubotas are self bleeding as far as air in the fuel system goes...

There are a lot of tiny passages in the trans system that could have gotten blocked with debris or maybe even air locked.   It sounds like the debris broke loose and then everything went back to normal.  Might have even had something stuck in a valve seat.  I've had tiny silicone gasket sealer fragments give me hell at one time (not on a Kubota) and make all kinds of problems.   Glad it resolved itself.

Thanks for all the info........I hope it never happens again.  It was really frustrating.  Now it runs like a charm.......I am now in the middle of installing my radio (Pioneer dehp400ub premier) and Alpine speakers.........Will let everyone know the results...........
