Well, all i know is someone is getting a good well taken care of machine. I bet you can get some mud grips, lift kit and even some wheel spacers to put on your chair.. then you can go anywhere. I'll be praying for you.

Air filter clean?

i went and got my dads good ol Klein tester this morning, it would occasionally show from 24 to 28 volts at idle, then drop down to about 15 volts, then about 10 volts sometimes lower, it did the same on both wires. the voltage really fluctuated. i then checked voltage at the A/C stator wires where they go into the regulator plug, 4 volts A/C Max... of course that voltage fluctuation might be the symptom of the component going out i guess. i'd rather spend $7 and run 2 new wires to the reg from the stator, than spend $80 on a stator i didn't need. One thing i want to try is making a new "harness" since those two stator wires just go straight to the rectifier, get some 14 or 16 gauge wire and go from the Stator plugs to the regulator to rule out any in between issues.

PREFACE I think my stator (alternator) may be giving up on me... Barely maintaining a constant 12.5 volts.. Checked all connections. No corrosion or melted spots.. I unplugged the leads that come from the Stator at the engine, both are only putting out around 12 to 13 Volts V A/C.... Whereas it should be 24VAC+ at idle. Manual calls for .2 to .4 ΩOhms maximum across the leads, My meter was showing .7Ω.. EDIT 8:00PM I scraped off a bit of the insulation behind the stator wire plugs to rule out a bad connector (not likely, being both of them) and from the copper wires to ground, still only 12 volts AC or so... Can't complain, it did it's job for 20 years. And this is for you Joe Breaux "AT LEAST IT AIN'T A MASSIMO"

sounds like an issue with the CVT belt system. have you replaced the belt recently? possible to be slightly too short and cause that problem... or the engine is idling a bit too high.

LOL, 8 bucks from E-bay

Welcome! If it is a belt driven system, either there is an issue with one of the CVT pulleys not fully disengaging., or have you replaced the drive belt recently?

I've always adjusted small engine idles by ear..... but i finally decided to buy a tachometer... it came in the mail today so i tried it out on the mule. it's the kind that wraps around the plug wire. fire the mule up, the idle RPM spec in the manual is 1,300... and the way i have it adjusted now it was idling at 1,260, let it warm up and bumped it up to 1300, which wasn't much

Welcome aboard! i imagine there are a few people on here that can help you out,

https://www.avxseals.com/Shaft-Oil-Seals-TC54x70x8-p/tc54x70x8.htm try here.. i've ordered from them once before..

i tried, and it tells me i can only access if i live in AU. I imagine the part numbers for US and AU models are the same, so try here, to get here your part numbers, https://www.messicks.com/ and you might be able to search with the part number on the Kubota AU website

G'day mate https://kubota.com.au/parts/kubota-parts/

Congrats on your New Kubota! 👍

What model mule is it? Sounds like an issue with the CVT system... it should not move when it's F or R until the gas pedal is depressed.

there are 4 on ebay, but they're seem pricey around $80....

i believe these machines use a wet clutch, are you using the appropriate oil rated for wet clutches?

Yeeow! cam compression relief through the cover? wow!

Well, I'd probably have to replace that wiring harness anyway, to get the starter on that engine to turn without burning up my wires!!!

What were the engine's overhauled for? was a bearing/connecting rod problems or Piston ring/cylinder problems?

oh come on, now.....
