Part of the Kubota Repair Manuals.
This Kubota Workshop Manual is the factory service reference for the F2880 and F3680 front mount diesel mowers, together with the RCK72P-F36, RCK72R-F36, RCK60P-F36 and RCK60R-F36 mower decks. It runs 314 pages and is built around Kubota's D1105-E2-FM2 and V1505-E2-FM3 diesel engines.Coverage takes in the whole machine: engine, the hydrostatic transmission, front and rear axles, brakes, steering, the hydraulic system, the electrical system with wiring diagrams, and the mower deck power train. Each section pairs troubleshooting with servicing specifications and tightening torques.From a hydrostatic drive that has gone weak to a deck that scalps or a diesel that is hard to start, the step by step procedures, exploded views and factory specs let an owner or independent mechanic service these front mowers with confidence.

Kubota F2880–F3680 Package Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hydrostatic drive weak or creeping
A machine that crawls, loses power on a slope or creeps in neutral usually has worn HST internals, a tired charge relief valve or aged fluid. The Transmission section covers the hydrostatic power train, its oil flow and the relief valves used to diagnose it.
Manual Section: Transmission p. 119Deck scalps or cuts unevenly
Streaking, scalping or a ragged finish traces to worn blades, a slack belt or a deck that is out of level. The Mower section covers the power transmission, blade torque and servicing so the deck runs level and true.
Manual Section: Mower p. 283Deck will not raise or drops
A deck that lifts slowly or bleeds down at rest points to the hydraulic pump, flow priority valve or implement control valve. The Hydraulic System section covers the circuit, the relief valve and the lift cylinder to find the pressure loss.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 229Diesel hard to start or low power
Hard starting, smoke or lost power on the D1105 or V1505 engine ties back to the fuel, cooling and governor systems. The Engine section covers the engine body, fuel system and injection pressure with the servicing specs to correct it.
Manual Section: Engine p. 57No start or charging fault
A no crank, dead battery or a machine that will not turn over often involves the operator presence safety circuit as well as the starter and charging side. The Electrical System section covers the wiring diagram, starting system and related switches to isolate it.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 251Heavy or loose steering
Slow response or excess play traces to the steering controller and its relief pressure rather than the wheel. The Steering section covers the steering controller with the relief valve setting pressure to test and adjust it.
Manual Section: Steering p. 216Frequently Asked Questions
