Not a lot to report. I installed 2 new NAPA legend AGM 51r batteries in the unit FYI if you go to the NAPA website they have a 20% off code it was replaced with a different one this week but its still same offer and really helps out on buying batteries if you want AGM's., replaced the rubber...
The other thing that comes to mind is most of us are so use to mechanical gauges that are not as precise or rather have such fine adjustment as the computer generated screens that its a bit of a technology trust/learning lesson.
New information for comparison. my other 1030 i ran unloaded for about 20 minutes and its Oil dropped down to about 42psi everything seems reasonable on the current unit at this point. I know older kubotas would even run on 7-10 psi so we are well in the green at this point
Fyi Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 49, diesel fuel is considered a hazardous material, specifically a Class C Combustible . you are limited to 119 gallons or several 119 gallon tanks up to 1000 gallons without a hazmat endorsement
Another update. Did not have time tonight to hook up more load, but i checked all the fluids and no oil or fuel or coolant intrusion. Fired the unit up applied the 1.4kw load again for another 30 minutes. starting psi was 62 after 20 minutes of slowly going down it went as low as 36psi which...

Worked on the 1030 some more. changed fuel filters and i do believe i have water in the fuel, but i am still not convinced that is the only issue. unit does not over heat or get hot real fast so i am thinking head gasket is good, oil pressure starts out at 62psi and after about 10-15 minutes of...
So i couldnt help myself and bought another 1030, inoperative. I filled with fluids but did not change filters, hooked up batteries, turned the disconnect on and it fired right up. 53hrs on the dcs and matches the analog meter. several bolts missing from the housing enclosure, but inside does...
I would not stress to much about it until you lay hands on it. I have taught some of the folks at these GP lots more than they ever knew before I showed up. As far as TM's i use a used $90 chrome book i bought from Walmart.com down load all the tms that way i have a screen to look at and can...
