Congrats on the 882!

Congrats on the smoker!

Congrats on the lil smoker and +1 on Machtech service too. If you still have the fender pan off, pull the tank, fuel cock/tank bung, give it a good flushing with water and soap and change the fuel lines also. That will eliminate a bunch of issues.

Got any pics of the starter mod? He should have used a hole saw.

Check the bearings in the cooling fan also. I've had a few that needed new bearings.

I order a bunch of these to keep on the shelf.

And all the diesel goodies that are needed too.
Here are the filters you need.
I use Rotella T 15W-40 oil and Wix filters part #
Air - 46270
Pre fuel - 33972
Fuel - 33389
Oil - 51064
Hydro - 51410

Good luck, keep us posted and feed us lots of pics.:beer2:

You're gonna love that sweet little diesel!!
Now, grab some ags and a plow and bring it to Buck Creek, IA this fall and help us all plow about 30 acres!!

If you are close enough to make AJ's, you are close enough to make Buck Creek
BTW, this will be PD #3 for BC

Congrats on the 882.

I second going through the fuel system. I used Super Clean for the tank and fittings. New bungs, filter, and fuel line. Made a big difference

thanks for all the great info- looking at the motor mount plate it sure looks weak after cutting the hole. Has anyone welded a brace/plate across the side closest to the block for reinforcement? I need to replace the belts- am I correct thinking you have to disconnect the drive shaft and maybe slide the motor forward a bit to get it in? Also I am planning on checking the fan bearings as well.

I was thinking the motor mount was weakened also but if you look at the pic I posted you can see the po took a cutting torch to it so he could get to the bolt.:angry: I had 2 complete sets of mounts made but I still never replaced this one. I hammer this little sucker at plow days and the mount is still the same with no cracks.

I have the belt list that you need somewhere also. Let me see if I can find it.

Another vote to replace all fuel filters (4 on my 882) as well as the fuel lines. Here are a couple more suggestions if you plan on keeping it:

1 - Take a good look at the radiator and make sure the overlay screen is still there. Suggest taking it to a radiator shop for a pressure test. Mine had to be completely re-worked a couple of summers ago.

2 - Consider collecting a thermostat, water pump and hoses as you go. Unless a PO has already replaced them, these may fail at any time. Be aware the top hose is NLA and is not a common diameter at typical auto parts houses.

Enjoy the smoke!

Pete,

Other sponsors may have them also.

Any Kubota dealer can get you a top hose.
You have to cut about a inch off one end is all
