Back with a new build, This will be made for working around my property. Heres my very short story of getting this little guy. I had a opportunity to pick between 10+ mowers to pick what I wanted for $50. A few john deeres as well as many other typical mowers. Out of them all I found this kubota. I went out my comfort zone and got it because its different, to me at least. Yes I know it's hydro but I have plenty locked transaxle to replace that down the road. To me the body work screams 90s Japanese sports car. So it might turn into something lowered down the to road. Lol

Nice tractor! I wanted one of those at one time. That was back when I hated Widebodys and loved squarebody Craftsmans, lol. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Yeah square body is what i set out for but already built two of them. Been going over this one and it's all welded together unlike most that bolt together. Should be pretty ridged. Anyways i did get it running yesterday. I bypassed some switches and made a more permanent fix to some that where already bypassed. By the end will rewire the whole thing.

I can't find anything on the carb for this thing. Its a nikki which i have a hate for. I was having surge problems but went ahead and took the carb apart and cleaned it all up. Now the engine runs perfect. Going to get a roll of gasket maker unless any of you know info on this carb so I can pick up a kit
