So I did a water separator screen and a fuel filter replacement on a kx-040-4 mini. After bleeding the air out of the fuel system. I turn the engine on noticed bubble and what looks like a stream turning on the top of the fuel separator. The mini run just fine I just didn't know if thats normal or there's air in the system. Again thank you.

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

@John G if it is running fine you are good. It has to purge the last little bit of air out on its own. It's not leaking on the outside is it?

[@bigjimflying7195]

Doing my 50hr service tomorrow, weather permitting. Engine Oil, filter and final drives.

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

It's not that bad. It's actually fairly easy.

[@allenolsen5844]

I still can't find a metric adjustable wrench😢but I did find a Left handed Pipe wrench 👍

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

Metric adjustable wrenches are very rare indeed. 😉

Thank you

The serviceability on my old kx 121-3 isn’t bad but it looks like they have improved quite a bit on the 040

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

A few things are easier A couple things are a little harder. The ac is belt is way easier on the 040's. I have had several 121's and they were all very good machines. Thanks for watching and have a great evening.

[@jimbanton3820]

Why do you prefer steel tracks over rubber.?? Ant advantage.?

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

First they last much longer, I have gotten over 5000 hrs out of a set, they add weight to the machine for stability, don't kick off as easy and in my opinion get better traction. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day 😊

[@lindseygorby8327]

Great informative video. About how many hours on the kx40 before you start thinking about getting a new one?

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

I usually run them 4k to 5k hours about when they are needing new undercarriage. My first 2 040's I traded in at 2k hrs my salesman made me deals I couldn't refuse to get into new ones.

[@thirdhandearthworks]

So Kubota says the hydraulic oil capacity is 17.7 gallons, when you change the oil how much do you actually end up putting in? I did mine today and really only needed about 13 or so, I'm guessing there's a bunch of extra oil still in the lines and the rams?

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

No it doesn't take the 17.7 and you are correct there is oil held up in the in the system. Thank you for watching and have a wonderful evening 😊

[@paull2247]

Your were just full of jokes that day😂

[@jeramyreberpuredirt7873]

You've got to keep things lite. Thanks for watching 🙂
