Wow, Not sure what going on with Kubota quality? 99 hours and unit looks like new until you look at the cooling system. Started to smell coolant and overflow was down some. Dropped the skid plates and was shocked to find that
there was coolant leaking for a bunch of different spots. The water pipes are both so corroded on each end that they need to be replaced. And the block drain plug is also leaking and its corroded. WTF The coolant looks good until I looked at it in the bucket. It has a foamy crud that you can scoop up with your hand. Inside of the hoses look coated with waxy crud. I really afraid what the rest of the system looks like.
I will of course flush the system a few times and wonder if a flush agent or cleaner should be used.
Anyone have any idea of why this looks so shitty already, Been around engines and diesels all my life and have never seen anything look this bad so soon.
