GR2120 air filter clamp rubbing on injector line

[wailing whale]

I just bought a Kubota GR2120 (Aussie spec with the D782 diesel) and after about 13 hours of mowing, I noticed the hose clamp on the air intake snorkel was oversized. The clamp's tail was long enough to rub against the #3 injection pipe, and it's already left a small groove in it. If anyone else has this model, look closely into your clamp setup. It could turn into a leak if left unchecked. I trimmed the tail back to keep it clear of the line.

Good catch on that hose clamp! Awesome you noticed it early and trimmed it back before it turned into a leak or worse. Anyone with that model should definitely double check their clamp setup to avoid the same issue. Thanks for the heads up!!

Some times little details can easily cause big headaches later, especially near injection lines, tnx, will keep an eye out now
