Hi

Ive been searching the internet for information about my excavator. Cant find very much. The model I have is K040. If anyone out there have some information it would be greatly appreciated. I do not have the manuals either so I am kind of stuck. Should at least get new filter and change the oils. I see that KX161-2 looks the same. Can anyone conform that they are? Maybe sold as different models around the world? Ive tried to send some emails to kubota but with no luck.

Again, everything of information or companies to contact would be helpful.

regards

Hi Tobias/Uffex,

Did you manage to find anything on your kubota k040?

I also own a K040 and have scoured the web looking for any manuals or parts list but haven't been able to find anything. Theres a few parts i need to replace and im also looking for any maintenance guidance, ive tried to contact Kubota a few times but haven't had any replies.

If you've found anything please could you share a copy?

Regards, Carl

Hi

I haven't found out that much. Nothing for certain, I thought it was smaller version of KX161-2 but couldn't confirm it.

Using the K040 model I have found some parts on the internet but not much.
- I've bought top rollers from miniexcavatorcentre.com, they fit. Altough not a perfect match as the old ones.
- I've found that japanmachineryparts.com sell hydraulic filters for it but haven't tried to order these yet so I can't confirm that they fit.

I would appreciate it if you share if you find something else. I've also tried to contact Kubota several times but with no luck. I also tried to contact a dealer in Norway but since it was imported and problably very old they could not or would not help me.

Regards
Tobias

Just google the manual. I had kx040 and wanted a manual pdf. I found one online and downloaded it. Also, I’m really not understanding the specific info you seek.

Folks,

I'm in the same situation. I have a Kubota K040 ( Jap model ), I had no clue of this when buying it and would really appreciate access to a parts / maintenance manual. I don't know the year but its old. K040 KT 818 is a number on it
