    KX-121-3 fan belt

    Thanks Midnightmoon, I did manage to break free the ac pump bolts without removing the alternator. I had purchased replacement fan belt from Kubota, but it was not the same number as the one I removed. The Kubota one was just too short to wring over the pulley. Had to go to auto parts store to...

    KX-121-3 fan belt

    I have a new to me Kubota KX 121-3 that needs the fan belt replaced. It does have A/C so it looks like I need to remove and most likely replace AC belt too. I have removed fan guard, removed drivers seat and the access panel to engine compartment. Sure is tight in there.... Having a time trying...

    Chain for dump trailer

    I have a Kubota kx 121-3 and have just bought a 14,000lb dump trailer. I don't have the trailer here yet, but want to get set up with chain to secure the mini. I bought 4 - 3/8 ratchet load binders, but don't know what the right set up is for chaining down. Does any one have a similar set up and...

    Gehl mini

    Thanks for the replies so far. I spoke to the owners representative the other day, and the machine only has 1 bucket and does not have a quick change coupler. It looks like what I think is called a pin on coupler, as in you have to drive 2 pins out to change a bucket. I am wondering what the...

    Gehl mini

    Hi there, I have been looking for a good deal on a mini ex for a while now..... and still looking. I have seen a couple of Gehl machines up for sale recently. One that has got my interest is a Gehl 503Z. Low hours, thumb and a reasonable price, but I am cautious about brand as I can find very...

    Kubota kx040 thumb

    Hi there, I am looking at a Kubota KX-040 mini, that does not have a thumb installed. I called the local Kubota dealer and they quoted me $2400 CAD for a thumb kit. Certainly a bit pricier than some of the non factory offerings I have seen on the internet. Can anyone chime in and offer me some...

    in search of a used mini

    I am looking for a similar size machine as well. I have a buddy that has recommended I try to stay under 2000 hrs for a mini ex. He figures with much more hours I could be into significant amounts of repair. What were the red flags on the Kubota kx 121? Too many hours? The thumb looks like it...

    T190 drive motor oil change

    I have been doing my first service on my new to me Bobcat T190. I pulled the drain plugs on the drive motor (and also pulled the fill plug on top hoping the oil would drain better). It did not drain very fast, but I let it drain until it seemed to stop flowing. When I did the refill with the...

    Crewchief888, main drive belt was noted as needing replacement too. Will order one of those too. I need to look at manual, does it drive the pumps too? Cab filter, check, will look into that also. Thanks Alan

    Advice for t190 1000 hr service

    I am picking up a new to me 2006 Bobcat T190 with 1200hrs on it next week. I had it inspected by the local dealer, and it received a clean inspection, with the advice that it needs a 1000 hr service. I am trying to assemble all I need to make the job go as smoothly as possible. I want to change...

    The T190 apparently just sold for $28K Can. , I have just found a 2012 John Deer 323D with 1300 hrs listed at $32,500. I have searched through the forums to find out some reviews on this machine, but have not found much information. Any advice on purchase of the 323D? The other machine that...
