Kubota GF1800, GF1800E Common Problems This Manual Covers
PTO will not engage or stay engaged
A recurring GF1800 complaint is a PTO that will not engage or drops out, caused by wear in the clutch pack or one-way shaft assembly. The PTO section covers the clutch disc, pressure plate, and steel plate with allowable limits.
Manual Section: Sect 7 PTOHard starting or no-start
A mower that will not start or is hard to start needs a systematic check of the fuel and starting systems. The engine section opens with troubleshooting and the servicing specifications for the D722-FM.
Manual Section: Sect 1 Engine p. 66Mower cuts out when the deck is raised
The engine dying when the deck lifts usually points to a seat or PTO safety switch in the shut-off system. The electrical section covers the engine key switch shut-off system and its switches.
Manual Section: Sect 8 ElectricalWeak or lost hydrostatic drive
Sluggish or lost travel points to the hydrostatic transmission or front axle. The transmission and front axle section covers separating, checking, and adjusting the HST.
Manual Section: Sect 2 Transmission and Front Axle p. 114Poor cutting or worn blades
Ragged cutting quality is usually worn blades or a deck that needs adjustment. The mower section lists blade torque, deck specifications, and the maintenance check list.
Manual Section: Sect 9 MowerParking brake or braking problems
Braking or parking-brake trouble can stem from worn linings, the automatic release system, or the brake switch. The brakes section covers the brake rods, assembly, lining, and drum.
