Very well done. I’m a mechanic who’s trying to retire 😮and your process and the way you think is amazing for your age. Very experienced methods. Love to know your story........and a proper British lady.

There is also a small inline filter under the joysticks for hydraulic oil which is part of the 1000 hour service but it often overlooked.

Slick removal of that oil drain plug - no oil running up your forearm and didn’t drop the plug in the draining container. I usually manage to do both, and once even managed to put my foot in the bowl of old oil. That was many decades ago when I lived at home and ran a 1967 Mini Cooper, and was wearing my Dad’s favourite tan gardening shoes, one of which was black thereafter!!

🤣 very good. To be fair I’ve knocked over a few oil pans that were full. Not as bad as your incident however 😭

Brilliant. Mine's three years old now and has just gone over 120 hours! Time to do more than the engine oil/filter. Thanks for taking the time to show how to do these items.

I had to go back & re-listen to flying Anaconda to make sure I heard it right. Perfect. I wish more people took proper care of their equipment like this. Good video, thanks for sharing.

Always Great when Kim’s on the scene & another project underway 😊😊Always so useful to show people who are not to sure , how jobs like servicing are done 👍👍👍Another great video which I enjoyed, thank you 😊😊👍

Nice comprehensive work there Kim!

Great work. Most machines don't get this kind of proper maintenance and die early in their life.

Great instructional video Kim. Another job well done.

Excellent, I learned a lot, I just purchased a new U17 and I appreciate the tutorial,

Great job Kimberly, very nice machine, well wear, the in tank fuel pumps are a gift👌👍🙂

Great job kim keep them coming 👍☘

Great job, well done Kim. Fantastic entertainment.

Just the greatest channel 😊♥️

Thank you very much. Just bought a U17-3a with 2700 hrs and I'm sure your videos will help unlock a few more secrets the machine has.

Thank you

Great job

Great video . Nicely done on the oil bung not so much on the hydraulic .💦🙂

if you're doing another vid on that machine its worth removing the wear pads bolted on the side for the tracks ( topside) as they might need building back up with some weld like i do every year to save replacing them.

Nice job , I work on kubota daily and there so straight forward and easy , I spotted it's got a old 25l drum lid for a fuel cap, you might already be on the case but I've had a few collapse the tank due to the tank not being able to breathe, I did want to let you run into the same problem I did. keep up the good work and look forward to seeing your next vid 😉

@@CalamityKim1 I did have the intention to drain the old fuel, remove the battery's and take the tanks off to prevent rust in the tanks. Was going to do this yesterday, but me being a wimp decided it was too cold.. Now I have to deal with this in colder weather because I was being lazy.. Bikes are outside, no shelter to work in.

I was like damn, she’s got some great grip strength when I saw you remove the oil filter. Then I saw it was crushed where you had filter pliers 😂

Could you explain a bit more about the treatment / control of the rubbish growing in the fuel please?
