I just stumbled across y'alls video . My M5040 has been cutting up like y'alls was doing. Changed the fuel filter cleaned the separator pumped it up fired it up ran then shut off finally got it going . Ran great then started showing out brought it home thought the fuel line was collapsing. My fuel tank plate was damage some 10 years ago when I loaned it out #@**##. So I pulled the tank the (step got knocked off to) the nut was welded to the stud. Finally got the tank off and realized the fuel line comes off the bottom of the tank. O then realized the tank has a hole in it was full of epoxy more ugly words . Tank not leaking but has a kink in it so I called the dealer 770.00 dollars old tank going back on the tractor. I haven't got it back together yet will let you know how it turns out. It's been so hot down in Florida by the time I get outside do to health issues I don't feel like working on it. Thanks for the video I will look for that bleeder on mine . I love my Kubota I bought it new 12 ish years ago she been a gooden .
Thanks for your comment. Of course I'm not the technical mechanic in this team but I'm referring your commnet to Pa... lol. I wanted to say I totally understand your frustration. Tractor troubles are so hard to deal with. If you are like us, you can't afford to have a dealer look at it and good diesel mechanics are hard to come by. I'm sorry to hear your health issues limit your time... it's sure hot up here too... Tennessee has the dreaded humidity and heat. It's been rather warm here too! Thank you for watching!!! We love comments too! Kent is always willing to trouble shoot... "the more you kow" is his moto for sure! We sure love our Kubota's too! 'Bota's are Best!!!
I have the same tractor I bought it new and I have had the same problems dirt daubers so I know what you have went through but it's a very great tractor.

Did you notice a difference in how the tractor runs after adding the intercooler?
