Kubota ZD326 zero-turn mower repaired and semi-serviced

Old Yanmar electric fuel pumpKubota ZD326 in garage

Fifteen years for a diesel mower in my book is not old, but it does seem to be about the time for parts to wear and repairs to start (or continue). Last week was the second time that I’ve had to replace the fuel pump on our Kubota ZD326s zero-turn mower

The Kubota has been a great addition since 2008 and a significant speed improvement over our nearly 40 year old John Deere 330 diesel (in need of some maintenance too). Besides the fuel pump, I replaced the two inline fuel filters (one before and one after the electric fuel pump), and since dust, dried grass, etc is a problem, I washed out the screens, cleaned the radiator and put in two new intake air filters. Normally I would have taken the opportunity to do an oil change, but I still have about 20 hours before changing oil (should have greased but didn’t).
