Dear Friends, Any idea how much to replace a head gasket on a 1979 B7100D D750-A? I noticed several droplets of anti freeze sweating around the head bolt. The engine got hot around 260 degrees fahrenheit before I discovered the anti freeze mix was to strong and lose fan belt. After that I...

I am looking for a mid mower for my gear driven B7100D. I will need all of he bits and pieces. I think at K48, RC48-71B, or B3048 mid mower will fit, not sure though. Also, will need the MMM with all of the mounting pieces and front gear case box. Respectfully, Mike from Ohio

Dear Torch, Thank you for the information and explanation of the mower deck. Unfortunately my Kubota compact tractor isn't a hydraulic model (HST) and doesn't have a mid mount PTO. The RC60-71B is designed for a HST model, the mower's drive shaft faces to the rear. The one I need will have...

Hello Friends, I am learning alot about my 1978 B7100DT, gear driven not hydraulic. Anyone know what belly mowers will fit? I believe the K48 mower will work but how about a 60" belly mower? I remember looking up which implements would fit using KUBOTA's website but I can't find that...

Dear Fellow Kubota Friends, What a wonderful website and an abundant resource of information. Two questions. I recently looked into upgrading my 1979 B7100D for a new BX2380 and I am on the fence regarding gear versus hydraulic. I am concern about the loss of speed control for the PTO...

Friends, Any one have photos of a safety shut off lever installed on their rear right wheel fender? I am wondering how the cable to the throttle is routed on the tractor. I recently picked up safety shut off lever for the B310 wood splitter. Attached is a photo and I circled in orange the...

kubotasam, North Idaho Wolfman, torch; Thank you for the replies. Tonight I checked out the glow plug indicator and measured the voltage at each glow plug. The glow plug next to the fire wall/bulkhead measured 10.2 volts and the middle glow plug measured 7.1 and the glow plug next to the...

My glow plug indicator does not glow but tractor does start. My tractor is an early 1970 model (3,000 hours), gear driven not hydraulic. I checked the amp current in the wires to the glow plugs. Wire from starting switch to first cylinder/glow plug next to bulkhead/firewall read 17.8 amps...

Anyone know where to purchase a replacement auger bit for a Z-235 log splitter? Or know the shaft style and shaft size? I am considering buying a KUBOTA 3pt log splitter. However, the tip of the auger is broken and missing. I would like to price out the replacement auger before I even...

85 Hokie, I think you may have busted my overheating. I drained the anti-freeze and replaced with fresh water. Ran the tractor for over an hour it ran up to 195 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, it idles at 180 degrees. The tractor is running 25-30 degrees cooler with the water. I never checked...

Update: I tighten the fan belt and replaced the radiator cap, the old cap's rubber seal looks like a mouse had nibbled on it. Engine is operating around 215 degrees Fahrenheit. I did notice antifreeze seeping from a bolt on top of the head. It is a bolt connected to the head puller or some...

Wolfman, Thanks for everyone's help. My gauge is reading higher than the Infrared, 25 degrees Fahrenheit. By the way, the gauge's sending unit is spliced into the top hose, from top of engine to top port of the radiator. I will check the temperature by dipping a mercury thermometer inside...

85hokie, Thank you for the reply. "What are you doing when it overheats? Bushhogging? FEL work?" Using my finish mower, Woods RM48 or Caroni TC590. Grass wasn't too tall, third gear; guessing on engine RPM 2/3 throttle setting? "How are you gauging the temperature? Infrared laser?”...

I have a 1979 B7100D, 16hp. Any ideas why the engine is running at 230 Fahrenheit? Both the radiator and engine have been flushed and the radiator does not appear to have mineral deposits inside, no damaged cooling fins, or plugged up. The fan appears to be drawing outside air through the...

Wolfman, thank you for the information. Looks like it might be easier to find an aft 60" mowing deck. You confirmed what I thought when I saw IPB of a RC60-71H mowing deck. Thanks again, Mike from Cle
