• The CJ-4 engine oil is intended for diesel particulate filter (DPF) type engines, and cannot be used on this tractor. 1.1.3 Transmission oil *KUBOTA Super UDT-2: For an enhanced ownership experience, we highly recommend Super UDT-2 to be used instead of standard hydraulic/transmission fluid.
Consequently, palm-oil-based feedstock may reduce performance of the fuel filter, particularly during cold weather conditions. • The Kubota warranty, as specified in the Owner's Warranty Information Guide, only covers flaws in product materials and workmanship. Accordingly, the Kubota warranty does not cover any problems that may arise due to the use of poor quality fuels that fail to meet the preceding requirements, whether biodiesel or mineral-oil-based.

MECHANISM 3. ENGINE 2. Lubricating system The oil pump sucks lubricating oil from the oil pan through the oil strainer and the oil flows down to the filter cartridge, where it is further filtered. Then the oil is forced to crankshaft (6), connecting rods (14), idle gear (5), camshaft (12) and rocker arm shaft (3) to lubricate each part.
MECHANISM 2. Lubricating system 3. ENGINE 2.2 Function of oil strainer 2.4 Function of oil filter The oil strainer strains large particles from the oil. The oil filter is responsible for filtering impurities from the oil. (1) Oil strainer (2) Mesh screen The strainer (1) has a mesh screen (2) suitable for straining large particles from the oil and yet passes a sufficient quantity of oil to the inlet side of the oil pump.
MECHANISM 3. ENGINE 2. Lubricating system 2.5 Function of relief valve The relief valve prevents the damage of the lubricating system due to high oil pressure. (1) Spring (3) Gasket (2) Poppet (4) Plug The valve is closed when the spring tension is greater than the oil pressure at the inlet.
The cooling system cools the engine while it operates to prevent overheating and keep a proper operating temperature. KUBOTA engines are used pressurized forced-circulation type. This system consists of a radiator (1), water pump (2), cooling fan (3), thermostat (4) and coolant temperature sensor (some models). The coolant is cooled through the radiator core, and the fan set behind the radiator pulls cooling air through the core to improve cooling.

MECHANISM 4. TRANSAXLE 2. Traveling system 2.1.2.1 Neutral position When the speed control pedal is in neutral, the variable swashplate is not tilted as shown in figure. The pump pistons only rotate with cylinder block without reciprocating. Since the oil is not being pumped to the motor, the cylinder block in the motor is stationary and the output shaft does not move.

As the pump cylinder block rotates with the input shaft, oil is forced out of pump port B at high pressure. As pressure oil enters motor port D, the pistons, which align with port D, are pushed against the swashplate and slide down the inclined surface.

MECHANISM 4. Control valve 7. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 4.2 Function of control valve 4.2.1 Control valve in neutral position When you stop the position control lever, the spool is stopped. The spool closes the oil flow from passage between P port and C port. Since the oil in the hydraulic cylinder is not drained to T2 port, neutral position is kept.
MECHANISM 7. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 4. Control valve 4.2.2 Control valve in lift position When the control lever is set to the lift position, the spool (4) moves to the right. The oil forced into the control valve flows through P port to C port and the hydraulic cylinder. The oil pushes the hydraulic piston in the hydraulic cylinder to lift the implement.
MECHANISM 4. Control valve 7. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 4.2.3 Control valve in down position When the control lever is set to the down position, the spool (4) moves to the left. The oil forced from the P port flows through the gap between the control valve body and the spool to the T1 port. The oil in the hydraulic cylinder flows through the gap between the control valve body (3) and the spool (4) to the T2 port.
