Took it off and separated the exhaust from compression side. The fins on exhaust wheel are damaged, so I sent if off for rebuild.

Yes, I think you are right. Would that explain the bog down problem when under a load and runs great with no load, even at 2500 rpm? I've pulled it and looking for kit or have it rebuilt. thanks,

I'd like to try my hand at rebuilding it. Any other sites besides Turbonetics for kits? thanks,

Should you be able to spin the turbine with your finger? Does anyone know if these can be repaired? How about source for rebuilt or used? Kubota 2003t thanks,

I can feel the turbine. I can not turn it with me finger. Should it free spin?

Will check, thanks,

Yes it is turbo charged. How do you chech to see if working proper?

Don't think I am losing any engine oil, but will monitor. I think I will drain the fuel and put fresh. Do you recommend any type of fuel additive to help clean the injectors? thanks,

Compression 500 on all cyl. Re-checked valve lash, .007 is what I could find on the Kubota V2003T. Would the only other thing be fuel? Would the bog down and black smoke be too much fuel or too little. Is there any adjustment beside timing the injector pump with shims? It starts so easy and runs...

Kubota V2003T. Did some digging this morning and it does bog a little and blows black smoke when strain. So not just when tracking. I will check the valve lash and check compression. Do you think it is sounding more like a fuel problem with the black smoke. I know very little about injector...

I am going to do some digging tomorrow. I'll try changing he drive oil first. Let you know if it works. thanks,

I remember having a hard time finding the valve clearance setting. I can re-check. Do you know what it should be or a good web site to find it. Do you think if it is off, the engine would run good and only bog when under strain? I'll also check the air filter. It does start very easy. thanks so...

I just bought it used with the cracked head. It still ran, but I only tracked it a short distance. I do not think it boged down even with the cracked head. Ground is level. Would replacing the head have changed anything like the timing of the injector pump? The engine runs very smooth at all...

Yes, and not cold. I am in South Louisiana. I just replaced a cracked head, but the engine runs fine. Even at full speed, I can track slow, but when I try to move a little faster, it bogs down. I did not try, but believe it would kill the engine if I didn't ease up on the tracks. Any idea? I...

Was reading some of the other post. Could it be as simple as adding the wrong hydraulic fluid. Would a thicker fluid casuse the engine to bog down? thanks,
