So as expected things did not go well. i tried heat, easy out, welding a nut to the stud, everything i know of and ended up with an off set wallerd out hole, so like my solution or not this is it, i am going to cut off the head of an m6 bolt and jb weld it in place and use a nut on the outside...
I work on a lot of mep 531a units and it is very easy to break the fly housing cover bolts. I like to replace the rubber vibration dampeners when needed, but the one i am working on has a pre broken bolt. I tried last night with channel locks as enough is sticking out to try and spin it out...
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

I had some time tonight to work on the unit. Drained fluids last night. So tonight i changed filters and filled fluids. ran unit with 1400 watt load for 30 minutes oil went down to 48psi started at 62, but temperatures were more normal range, burped system several time, engine stayed steady...
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...
