Lol, me too, i learned the hard way on a ford 3600. Dad laughed at me, called me a yo yo, then handed me the wrenches, and showed me what to do.

There is a fuel bleeder valve that can be opened. It's in the manual.

Just changed filter, ran, died won't restart. Let's see what this is about. Thanks

ahahahahah -- JDs have a pump yu just push until fuel flows good - it works and is easy enough for a 7 year old to work - what kubota does is not up to par - wonder why -

on trucks it is

While it's never good to run a diesel out of fuel, they can handle it to some degree. Modern diesels are made to very tight tolerances, so it can cause damage if its run out of fuel a lot. A couple times a year is no big deal

In all likelihood, you do need to bleed that fuel system. Probably very old technology.

@@MessicksEquip Ok thank you from Australia! Still, at least i'm be careful with high pressures! Cheers!

For sure!

sometimes.....

Safety cans only!

Labonteford 5 because Gooberment has you trained

I personally own 77.5 gallons worth the red and 10 gallons of the yellow. The cost sucks but I truly prefer them.

The galvanized cans are not recommend for the diesel engines but I don't own a tractor.

Labonteford 5 more fuel is spilled using those mandated (nozzles) pieces of garbage. Don’t believe me? Look it up. They are junk.

20 years probably

No problem

No, the cylinder is already well lubricated and running out of fuel is really no different from shutting down the engine in the usual manner. You will not damage your cylinders if you run out of fuel.

Only If it has CRDI which is the high pressure diesel fuel rail system that feeds the injectors.

B3350

Yes

I'm not sure about smaller diesels, but when I ran equipment for a summer for a construction company, the guy that trained me did say it's hard on them to turn them off without idling them for at least a minute after doing a fair amount of work with them. Something about them continuing to build up heat for a short while after you shut them off, so the idling reduced the temp it would build from. Not sure how much truth there is to that, though... I'm not that knowledgeable about diesel. I've just always idled my tractor for 30-60 seconds before turning it off as a safety. That said, I would imagine it's hard on any kind of engine to go from a high RPM to 0 like that.

@@Zurar since diesel engines run at higher rpms than gas engines and the fuel has a higher ignition temperature. If you don't idle the machine after running on high for a good amount of time you can cause the pistons to lock up because of all the pressure they have built up at 15000 rpms.

@@trevorhorvath2112 more like 2100 rpm...

@@Zurar a lot of that has to do with helping cool the turbo down. If you dont let it idle for a minute, the oil that is left in the turbo boils, which is not only bad for the oil, but it's bad for those turbo bearings too.

@@killstrees you are spot on. Running hard, exhaust temps running over 1000°F, and engine oil being the only cooling the turbo gets until the load is taken off. The oil not only can boil, but also coke up in the turbo, blocking flow later on. Like you said, it's also hard on the bearing and seals.

unless your very mechanically inclined, call a shop if it got to the engine. If not you may get lucky if it did not get to the fuel pump and can just drain the tank and filters.

New equipment comes with a manual but for some strange reason people tend to keep them when they later sell the equipment leaving the next owner without one.

@@dougshrader7721 That's funny that you say that. I just traded a b2650 cab for an l2501 and after reading your comment realized I still have the owners manual for the b2650. I took it out of the tractor to make copies of pages that I used a lot. Never even dawned on me to put it back when I let the other one go. I think part of it is you get so excited you have a new tractor coming, it's enough to remember to take tools out of the old one.

Dan D What would make you do that trade? Just wondering

@@dan33klein The l2501 fits my needs better in short. The B is a good tractor dont get me wrong. The cab is awesome, but was also the issue for me. For one, the doors don't come off so you basically need to run the AC in the summer. If you can't communicate with people around you for shit cuz you're in a fishbowl. It's great on flat ground, but going through woods, over stumps, on Hills, not so much. And I had a 23 horse B without a cab a while ago that I got very used to so it wasn't me. It felt to me like the cab was too big for the tractor. Felt top heavy, and I had a few sketchy two-wheel situations over the 200 hours I owned it. I do mostly loader work, the b2650 replaced a t300 bobcat. I needed something that could lift a thousand pounds. I got a little smaller tractor so I could still have air conditioning and all the fancy shit on the t300. I had looked at the l2501 when I originally bought the B, but I wanted something with no emissions and a cab. To get a L with a cab requires emissions. So I got the B. I now have an l2501 with the roof. It's on my channel, along with the old B. It feels more stable, wider, heavier. Feels Like A Better Built tractor. Feels more to me like what a tractor should be, if you've ever run old equipment you know what I mean. More utilitarian, less frilly shit to break once the warranty expires. And when the warranty does expire, I'm ripping the throttlestop off so I can get the full 35 +/- horsepower out of that d1703.

@@dan33klein Oh plus I plow snow with my truck so I don't really need to use the tractor in the winter. Or can at least wait till the storm stops. And the dealer made me a offer I couldn't refuse. Would have been an even trade if I didn't get the grapple and third function and just got the bigger brush hog. Plus the L has a new 6-year warranty.

Yes

or pedal, yes :-)

I'm surprised he doesn't have a Kubota can way faster and it balances on the filler neck so you don't have to support most of the weight.

Sure Bobby, blame it on the wife! 😄

@@abbatemarco When in doubt :P

I did

on old tractors thats the case, new ones have electric fuel pumps.

@@MessicksEquip this is about a 10-15 year old Kubota la524

@@abaker2921 LA524 is your loader, not the the tractor. That era does have an electric fuel pump.

@@MessicksEquip thanks

Pros and cons. Seen implements puncture tanks back there.

Maybe you can get one of those fancy Kubota spring loaded vented cans. I have one and it works great! Should I have my dealer send you one! 😂

By the way,have any sales on 6ft scraper blades Neil?? Need one for snow removal to use on my "orange" tractor. Keep those quick sales coming... 👍

I just used my 7’ yesterday! Worked great! RB3584 w/ shoes

There's a spill well around my filler cap on my B2601 with a drain down tube leading to below the tractor. Ask me how I know. LOL

Yup

It does........ at something over 70°C

good to know that if I put my bx in an oven I can run it off vapors!

if the person did not know about making sure the tractor was full and the borrower / user needed to know it also - then the owner was as much at fault - people are more like stupid animals sometimes -- ahahahahaha

Thank you very much for stating what make and model tractor you got, that wouldn’t self prime. Your comment is not useful.
