F2880, F3680, RCK72-F36, RCK72R-F36, RCK60-F36, RCK60R-F36, WSM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY STARTING
• Do not start the engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
• Do not alter or remove any part of machine safety
system.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that all shift
levers are in neutral positions or in disengaged
positions.
• Never start the engine while standing on the ground.
Start the engine only from operator’s seat.

SAFETY WORKING
• Do not work on the machine while under the influence
of alcohol, medication, or other substances or while
fatigued.
• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
• Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
• When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
• Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
• Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the engine
is running.
• Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise, hot
water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
• Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

AVOID FIRES
• Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first and
connect it last.
• Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of battery, especially when
charging the battery.
• Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the engine.

VENTILATE WORK AREA


• If the engine must be running to do some work, make
sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide.

PREVENT ACID BURNS


• Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.

DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY


• Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or
into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental protection regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other harmful
waste.

PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES


• Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.

and flames away from the battery at all times, especially
when charging the battery.

CAUTION
• When charging battery, remove battery vent plugs.
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with
the negative terminal first.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across
the posts.
• Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
• Take care not to reverse connections (polarity) at the battery
as this could lead to electrical circuit damage, battery
damage, or battery explosion.
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is somewhere between the
markings (1) and (2). Add the correct amount of distilled water
up to the highest level as required.
2. The water in the electrolyte evaporates during recharging. Liquid
shortage damages the battery. Excessive liquid may spill over
and damages the machine body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charge positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the standard fashion.
4. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It partially charges the
battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery’s service life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between 1.27 and 1.29,
charge has been completed.
6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use a battery of
equal specification shown in table 1 and 2.
■ Direction for Storage
1. When storing the machine for a long period, remove the battery
from the machine, adjust the electrolyte to the proper level and
store in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once a month in hot seasons and once every 2
months in cold seasons.

completely.
1. Stop the engine and let it cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug (1) and remove
the radiator cap. The radiator cap must be removed to
completely drain the coolant.
3. After all coolant is drained, install the drain plug (1).
4. Fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean water and anti-freeze until the coolant
level is just below the fill port.
7. Fill with clean water and anti-freeze up to the “FULL” mark on the

Flush Cooling System and Changing Coolant (Continued)


■ Anti-Freeze
It is not recommended to use plain water as coolant. water
freazes at 0 °C (32 °F) ambient temperature. If coolant freezes in
the engine, it will damage the engine block, head and radiator.
1. There are two types of anti-freeze available ; use the permanent
type (PT) for this engine.
2. Before adding anti-freeze for the first time, clean the radiator
interior by pouring fresh water and draining it a few times.
3. The procedure for mixing of water and anti-freeze differs
according to the make of the anti-freeze and the ambient
temperature, basically it should be referred to SAE J1034, more
specifically also to SAE J814c.
4. Mix the anti-freeze with water, and then fill the radiator.
Vol % Anti- Freezing Point Boiling Point*
freeze °C °F °C °F
40 -24 -12 106 222
50 -37 -34 108 226
* At 101kPa (760 mmHg) Pressure (atmospheric). A higher boiling point is obtained
by using a radiator pressure cap which permits the development of pressure within
the cooling system.
■ NOTE
• The above data represent industry standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the concentrated
anti-freeze.
• When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add water
only. In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio.
• Anti-freeze absorbs moisture. Keep unused anti-freeze in a
tightly sealed container.
• Do not use radiator cleaning agents when anti-freeze has
been added to the coolant. (Anti-freeze contains an anti-
corrosive agent, which will react with the radiator cleaning
agent forming sludge which will affect the engine parts.)

[1] TIRE PRESSURE
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be done by a qualified person with the proper
equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate tires above the recommended pressure as shown below.
■ IMPORTANT
• Do not use tires larger than specified.
Recommended
Tire sizes Inflation Max.
Pressure
140 kPa
Front 24 × 12 - 12, 4PR

This engine's lubricating system consists of oil strainer (9), oil pump (8), relief valve (10), oil filter cartridge (16) and
oil pressure switch (2).
The oil pump sucks lubricating oil from the oil pan through the oil strainer and the oil flows down to the filter
cartridge, where it is further filtered. Then the oil is forced to crankshaft (7), connecting rods (15), idle gear (6),
governor shaft (5), camshaft (13) and rocker arm shaft (3) to lubricate each part.
Some part of oil, splashed by the crankshaft or leaking and dropping from gaps of each part, lubricates these parts
: pistons (14), cylinders, small ends of connecting rods, tappets (12), push rods (11), inlet and exhaust valves (4) and
timing gears.

The Cooling system consists of a radiator (1), centrifugal water pump (2), suction fan (3) and thermostat (4).
The coolant is cooled through the radiator core, and the fan set behind the radiator pulls cooling air through the
core to improve cooling.
The water pump (2) sucks the cooled coolant, forces it into the cylinder block and draws out the hot coolant. Then
the cooling is repeated. Furthermore, to control temperature of coolant, a thermostat is provided in the system. When
the thermostat opens, the coolant moves directly to radiator, but when it closes, the coolant moves toward the water
pump (2) through the bypass between thermostat and water pump (2).

Fuel from the fuel tank (5) passes through the fuel filter (2), and then enters the injection pump (7) after impurities
such as dirt, water, etc. are removed.
The fuel pressurized by the injection pump (7) to the opening pressure (13.73 to 14.71 MPa, 140 to 150 kgf/cm2,
1991 to 2133 psi), of the injection nozzle (4) is injected into the combustion chamber.
Part of the fuel fed to the injection nozzle (4) lubricates the moving parts of the plunger inside the nozzle, then
returns to the fuel tank through the fuel overflow pipe (1) from the upper part of the nozzle holder.

[1] GOVERNOR
■ Three Lever Type Fork Lever
The governor system is a mechanical governor that
uses a governor weight (5).
The governor weight (5) is mounted on the governor
shaft that rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft.
Because the feature of this mechanism takes out the
engine speed directly as a centrifugal force of weight, the
speed control that the change in the engine rotational
speed is sensitively transmitted to fork lever assembly
(A) and high accuracy is enabled.
The fork lever assembly of this engine is composed of
fork lever 1 (6), fork lever 2 (9), and the floating lever (7).
A slide plate is installed in fork lever 1. The governor
spring (3) is hooked to fork lever 2 (9).
The floating lever (7) installs the torque pin (8) of the
output drop prevention at the overload. The start spring
(2) is hooked to a slide plate, and holds the control rack
in the direction of the full fuel position.
Fork lever 2 (9) and the floating lever are installed in
fork lever 1 (6) with the fork lever shaft (4). The max
torque limitation (1) device limits the amount of the fuel
exhalation at overload with the torque pin.

(2) Start Spring (8) Torque Pin
(3) Governor Spring (9) Fork Lever 2
(4) Fork Lever Shaft
(5) Governor Weight (A) Fork Lever Assembly
(6) Fork Lever 1

(At Rated Operation)


When the engine is running, the fork lever 2 (5) and
the floating lever (2) are moving with the fork lever 1 (3)
due to the tension of the governor spring.
During this time, the torque pin is pressed into the
floating lever by centrifugal force of the governor weight.
The fork lever 2 (5) comes in contact with the fuel
limitation bolt (4), and the fuel injection pump supplies
fuel necessary for rated operation.

(Overloaded Operation)
The amount of the movement of the fork lever
assembly is limited with the fuel limitation bolt (2) and can
not be moved in the direction of the fuel increase.
As overload reduces the centrifugal force of the
governor weight, which is pressing the torque pin (5) into
the floating lever (6), the floating lever pushes the fork
lever 1 (3) in the way to increase the fuel supply with the
help of the torque spring tension.
The fuel supply increases (b) in relation to the degree
of the torque pin motion, thus preventing the engine
speed from dropping.
At this time, the maximum torque limiter (1) prevents
superfluous fuel supply and suppresses the generation
of black smoke.

The hydrostatic transmission (HST) consists of a variable displacement piston pump, a fixed displacement piston
motor, two check and high pressure relief valves and a charge relief valve.
The pump and motor have nine pistons in their cylinder blocks.
The discharge rate of the HST is 18.9 cm3/rev. (1.15 cu.in./rev.).
The speed control pedal permits simple operation of the machine, starting, stopping, increasing or decreasing
speed.

The closed hydraulic oil loop runs between the pump (1) and motor (7) in the hydrostatic transmission (11).
When the engine is started, the hydraulic pump (9) is rotated to drow oil from the transmission case through the
suction pipe.
The oil is forced out by the hydraulic pump (9) to the power steering controller through the flow priority valve (8).
When the control valve in the power steering controller is at “Neutral” position, the oil is delivered to the oil cooler
(5).
The oil from the oil cooler (5) is delivered to the PTO charge relief valve (4), oil filter cartridge (3) and charge relief
valve (2).
The oil is drained into the transmission case through the hydrostatic transmission housing.

The oil from the oil filter cartridge is regulated the
setting pressure by the charge relief valve (0.40 to 0.58
MPa, 4.0 to 6.0 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi). The regulated oil
is fed as charge oil to HST main circuit.
The oil that is relieved by charge relief valve passes
to HST housing (1) through the poppet (4).

■ When Check Valve Activating


The charge flow coming through the charge port
forces open the low-pressure-line check and high-
pressure relief valve and goes into the low-pressure-line.
Any excessive charge flow goes through the charge
relief valve into HST housing.
W1016420

■ When High Pressure Relief Valve Activating


The check and high-pressure relief valve in the high-
pressure line serves as a high-pressure relief valve. If
the pressure exceeds a high-pressure limit level, the
pressure poppet (2) opens itself against the relief valve
spring (3) force and opens the valve that is located
between the check valve seat (1) and the pressure
poppet (2). Now the flow goes to P2.
If the P3 pressure drops, the relief valve spring forces
the valve seat closed against the pressure. The high-
pressure oil at P3 does not flow to P2 any longer.
As discussed above, the check and high-pressure
relief valve protects engines, pumps, motors, gears and
even the machine itself from overload.

W1015160

The dual-acting overrunning 4WD system can be engaged by simply switching the control lever. There are two
mode to choose from : full-time 4WD mode and dual-acting overrunning 4WD mode.
If the later mode is selected, the 2WD and 4WD are automatically switched from each other in both the forward
and backward runs in response to the road condition and other factors.
The dual-acting overrunning 4WD system can minimize damage to the lawn. In this mode, the wheels drag
themselves much less on the ground with repetitious forward and backward runs, this also allows small-radius turns
and in other running styles.
On slopes, the full-time 4WD mode may be selected to ensure the best possible traction, stability and safety.
■ IMPORTANT
• Do not steer the rear wheels sharply when the Dual-acting overrunning 4WD clutch lock lever is in the
“Full-time 4WD” position.

The main components of the PTO section are shown in the figure above.
When the PTO lever is set to “ENGAGE” position, the PTO control rod is pulled and the PTO control valve (15)
rotates.
The oil is forced out by the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic PTO clutch through the steering controller, PTO control
valve (15) and clutch shaft (7).
The piston (10) is pushed against the steel plates (11), clutch discs (12) and pressure plate (13) by this movement.
The steel plates (11) and pressure plate (13) are held between the clutch discs (12) and piston (10), and the friction
between them cause the clutch discs (12) to rotate, thus transmitting the power from the engine to the implement as
follows ;
Pump Shaft (2) → 28T Gear (1) → 33T Gear (13) → Piston (10) → Clutch Case (9) → Clutch Shaft (7) → Coupling
(6) → PTO Shaft (5).

When the PTO lever is set to “DISENGAGE” position, the oil passage is closed by the PTO control valve (14).
The piston (9) is pushed against the PTO brake plates (8) and PTO brake disc (4), which creates clearance between
the steel plates (10) and clutch discs (11), causing no friction. At the same time, the PTO brake disc (4) is held
between the PTO brake plates (8), causing friction. Therefore, the power to the implement is shut off and brake
engages to prevent the PTO shaft (5) from the free-spinning.

1. During Straight Running


Rotation of the bevel pinion shaft (1) is transmitted to the spiral bevel gear (6) and differential case (2).
When road resistance to the right and left wheels are equal, differential pinions (4), (8) and differential side gears
(3), (7) are all rotate as a unit. Both front axles received equal input, and both wheels turn at the same speed, allowing
the machine to go straight ahead.
At this time, differential pinions (4), (8) do not rotate around the differential pinion shaft (5).
2. During Turning
When the machine turns, the road resistance to the inside tire increases (as if braking is applied to that side only).
In other words, if one of tires slows down, revolution difference is generated in the differential side gears (3), (7). When
rotation of one differential side gear becomes lower than the other, differential pinions (4), (8) begin rotating around
differential pinion shaft (5). The other differential side gear is increased in speed by the speed increment of differential
pinion shaft (5). This means that rotation of one front axle is slowed down and that of the other front axle is increased.
Thus, the machine turns smoothly without power loss.
The combined number of revolutions of the right and left differential side gears (3), (7) is always twice that of the
spiral bevel gear (6). When spiral bevel gear revolution is 100 min-1 (rpm), and if one of the differential side gears
stops moving, the revolution of the other differential side gear becomes 200 min-1 (rpm) and if one rotates at
50 min-1 (rpm), the other rotates at 150 min-1 (rpm)

When resistance to the right and left tires are greatly different due to ground conditions or type of work, the tire with
less resistance slips and prevents the machine from moving ahead. To compensate for this drawback, the differential
lock restricts the differential action and causes both front axles to rotate as a unit.
When the differential lock pedal is stepped on, it causes the differential lock lever (3) to rotate, which will move the
differential lock shift fork (2) and the differential lock clutch (5) toward the spiral gear (8). The differential lock clutch
(5) engaged with the teeth of the differential case (6) to cause the differential case (6) and the differential lock clutch
(5) to rotate as a unit.
Therefore, differential pinions (1) are unable to rotate around differential pinion shaft (7) and identical revolutions
are transmitted to the right and left differential gear shaft (4), (9).

Mechanical wet disc brakes are used for the right and left travelling brakes. They are operated by the main brake
pedal (6) through the mechanical linkages and provide stable braking and require little adjustment.
The parking brake is a mechanical type which is designed to actuate the travelling brakes through the linkage.
Pulling the parking lock lever (5) results in the same state as the obtained when the main brake pedal is pressed.

2. OPERATION

(1) Front Axle Case (4) Friction Plate (6) Actuator (8) Bearing Holder
(2) Brake Cam Lever (5) Steel Ball (7) Brake Disc (9) Differential Gear Shaft
(3) Brake Cam

The brake body is incorporated in the front axle case (1) filled with transmission oil and is designed to brake when
the brake disc (7) splined with the differential gear shaft (9) is pressed against the actuator (6) by means of the cam
mechanism incorporating steel balls (5).
For greater braking force, three brake discs (7) are provided at the right and left sides respectively, and the friction
plates (4) fixed to the front axle case is arranged between the brake discs (7).
■ During Braking
When the main brake pedal is pressed, the linkage causes the brake cam lever (2) and brake cam (3) to turn into
the direction of arrow shown in the above figure.
Therefore, the actuator (6) also moves the direction of arrow. At this time, since the actuator (6) rides on the steel
balls (5) set in the grooves of the front axle case to press the brake discs (7), the differential gear shaft (9) is braked
by the frictional force generated by the actuator (6) and brake discs (7).

The rear axle of 4WD is constructed as shown above. Power is transmitted from the transmission through the rear
wheel drive shaft (17) to the bevel pinion shaft (16), then to the bevel gear (12) and to the differential gear assembly
(8).
The power through the differential side gear (19) is transmitted to the differential yoke shaft (20), and to the bevel
gear shaft (22) through the bevel gears (21), (5) in the rear axle gear case (4).
The revolution is greatly reduced by the bevel gears (23), (3), then the power is transmitted to the rear wheel hub
(1).
The differential system allows each wheel to rotate at a different speed to make turning easier.

This machine is provided with hydrostatic power steering.


In the full hydrostatic power steering, the steering controller (2) is connected to the steering cylinder (1) by
hydraulic piping. Accordingly, it does not have mechanical transmitting parts such as steering gear, pitman arm, drag
link, etc.. Therefore, it is simple in construction. This steering system consists of the oil strainer (7), hydraulic pump
(8), flow priority valve (9), steering controller (2) and steering cylinder (1) etc..
Flow priority valve divides the oil into two direction. One is the control flow to power steering (constantly 10 L/min.,
2.64 U.S.GPM, 2.20 Imp.GMP), and the other is excessive flow to control valve of implement lift control.
By operating the power steering body, the required amount of oil is fed to the steering cylinder (1).

2. STEERING CONTROLLER
The steering controller (2) consists of a control valve
(6) and a metering device (5)
■ Control Valve
The control valve is a rotating spool type. When the
steering wheel is not turned, the position of the spool (7)
and sleeve (9) is kept neutral by the centering spring (8).
This causes the forming of a "Neutral" oil circuit. When
the steering wheel is turned either clockwise or
counterclockwise, the position of the spool and sleeve
changes in relation to the centering spring. This allows
the forming of a "Right Turning" or "Left Turning" oil
circuit. At the same time, the metering device rotates
with the spool and sends the oil to the cylinder
corresponding to the rotation of the steering wheel.
■ Metering Device
The oil, sent from the hydraulic pump to the steering
cylinder, passes through the metering device (3).
Namely, when the rotor is driven, two chambers suck in
oil due to volumetric change in the pump chambers
formed between the rotor (12) and the stator (13), while
oil is discharged from other two chambers. On the other
hand, rotation of the steering wheel is directly transmitted
to the rotor through the spool (7), drive shaft (10), etc.
Accordingly, the metering device serves to supply the
steering cylinder with oil, amount of which corresponds to
the rotation of the steering wheel. The wheels are thus
turned by the angle corresponding to the rotation of the
steering wheel. When the engine stops or the hydraulic
pump malfunctions, the metering device functions as a
manual trochoid pump, which makes manual steering
possible
■ Relief Valve
The relief valve (1) is located in the steering
controller. It controls the maximum pressure of the
power steering system.
Its setting pressure is as follows.
10.8 to 11.3 MPa
110.2 to 115.2 kgf/cm2

4. RELIEF VALVE
The implement control system circuit has a relief
valve to restrict the maximum pressure in the circuit. The
relief valve is located top of the hydraulic cylinder body.
The relief valve is of the guide piston type with
damping effect.
Among direct acting relief valves, this type is suited to
higher pressure and has large capacity. Furthermore,
this type is free from unstable operation, such as
chattering, which occurs often in direct acting relief
valves.
As shown in the figure, the guide is attached to the
poppet (5) and a valve chamber D.C. (called the damping
chamber) is formed at the bottom of the guide piston.
The inlet of the valve leads to the chamber via a
clearance between the sliding portion of the guide and
the seat (6), minimizing valve vibration with the damping
effect of the chamber.
When the oil pressure in the circuit is lower that the
setting pressure of the relief valve, the relief valve is not
operated and the oil fed to the relief valve from the
hydraulic pump flows into the implement control valve.
As the oil pressure in the circuit increases, so does
the pressure in the damping chamber D.C.. When the
pressure rises above the valve setting and overcomes
the spring force, the valve opens. Oil then flows out to
the transmission case through T port, preventing any
further rise in pressure. The valve closes again when
enough oil is released to drop pressure below the valve
setting.

The main components of the hydraulic cylinder are shown in the figure above.
While the lift arm (7) is rising, oil from the hydraulic pump flows into the hydraulic cylinder through the implement
control valve (8). Then oil pushes out the piston (12).
While the lift arm (7) is lowering, oil in the hydraulic cylinder is discharged to the transmission case through the
implement control valve (8) by the weight of the implement. At this time, the lowering speed of the implement can be
controlled by the lowering speed adjusting valve (2) attached to the hydraulic cylinder case (4). Turning the lowering
speed adjusting knob clockwise decreases the lowering speed, and counterclockwise increases lowering speed.
When the lowering speed adjusting valve (2) is completely closed, the lift arm (7) is held at its position since oil in the
hydraulic cylinder is sealed between the piston (12) and lowering speed adjusting valve (2).

installed in their original position to prevent reassembly errors.
• When special tools are required, use KUBOTA genuine special
tools. Special tools which are not frequently used should be
made according to the drawings provided.
• Use KUBOTA genuine parts or KUBOTA-recommended parts
and lubricants or their equivalents.
• Gaskets and O-rings must be replaced during assembly.
• Apply grease to new O-rings or oil seals before assembling. See
the figure.
• When reassembling external snap rings or internal snap rings,
they must be positioned so that sharp edge faces against the
direction from which a force is applied. See the figure.
• Metric screws, bolts and nuts are not interchangeable with
nonmetric fasteners
• Remove oil and dirt from parts before measuring.
