The Kubota T1600 ride on lawn mower was manufactured during the 1990’s. It’s very often confused with the very similar named Kubota GR1600 lawn mower. It’s a fairly well liked mower from Kubota and quite useful to anyone with more than half an acre of grass to mow. It’s powered by a small 13.5 hp diesel engine. I have read several posts about this unit, but am not finding much info on my issue, particularly given the following info. I've a mid '90s Kubota T1600H that will not start. Was running fine last fall. When I last shut it down, there was a puff of smoke from under the dash cowelling. Kubota T1600 Parts Catalogs & Information.

Got my Gravely sold yesterday so my wife and I enjoyed the nice weather and did some tractor shopping. I have always like the little T series with the 2 cylinder diesel. I usualy miss out on the good deals when one pops up for sale. I lucked out this time and snagged this one for $700 off Craigslist with my wife's help. Came with ag tires on the rear, all the hub caps are there, runs well. I need to do some work on the tubular frame just in front of the HST unit. He mowed rough ground and the frame has been fixed, poorly with a 'bubble gum' weld job. I will grind it down and reweld better, along with adding some needed reinforcing. The drive shaft looks fairly new and the HST drive is strong. Not many of these little tractor were made IMHO due to thier high cost. You just dont see these, let along one that will be restored eventually. A small tractor is all we need and I wanted a diesel. That doesn't leave much of a choice. I had a G 5200, but even it was a bit large for our small yard. I really don't plow anymore, but I think with some frame reinforcement, this little girl could do that with a small moldboard plow. Mike
