Part of the Kubota Repair Manuals.
This 117-page Kubota T1400 and T1400H Workshop Manual is the factory service reference for these lawn tractors, powered by the GH400V-L engine. It splits every section into Mechanism and Servicing, so you can understand how a system works before you disassemble it.The manual covers both drive types: the T1400 with its speed variator and gear shift transmission, and the T1400H with hydrostatic transmission. It documents the engine, fuel system and carburetor, governor, clutch, power train and rear axle, brakes, front axle, steering, electrical system, and the mower deck, with servicing specifications, tightening torques, and a maintenance check list.Owners and independent mechanics can use it to rebuild the transmission, sort out a carburetor or charging fault, adjust the clutch and brakes, set the mower deck, or work through the wiring diagram. It is delivered as a downloadable PDF you can view on any device or print.

Kubota T1400, T1400H Common Problems This Manual Covers
Weak or creeping hydrostatic drive
On the T1400H, worn piston pump or motor parts, a stuck by-pass valve, or low charge pressure show up as weak drive or a tractor that will not hold still in neutral. The hydrostatic transmission section covers the piston pump, motor, by-pass valve, charge circuit, and oil flow.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Transmission p. 73Hard starting or flooding
Rough idle, flooding, or a no start on the GH400V-L usually comes from the carburetor float, main jet, needle valve, or the fuel cut off solenoid. The fuel system section covers the carburetor and its components in detail.
Manual Section: Fuel System p. 10Battery will not charge
A battery that goes flat between uses points to the charging or starting system. The electrical system section includes the wiring diagram and electrical circuit so you can test the charging output before replacing parts.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 26Clutch slipping or dragging
Slipping drive or a clutch that will not fully disengage is common on belt driven lawn tractors and traces to belt tension, the tension pulley, or clutch adjustment. The brake and clutch section covers checking, adjusting, and servicing these parts.
Manual Section: Brake And Clutch p. 92Uneven cut or deck problems
An uneven cut, scalping, or deck vibration usually needs belt tension and deck leveling attention. The mower section covers checking and adjusting plus disassembly and assembly of the deck.
Manual Section: Mower p. 112Excessive steering play
Loose, wandering steering comes from wear in the steering gear and linkage. The steering section covers checking and the disassembly and assembly needed to restore it, with the allowable play limit in the servicing specifications.
Manual Section: Steering p. 101Frequently Asked Questions
