Misc Kubota B7100 Gear Drive Transmission and other Questions

[Woodsguy]

Hi all

I just bought an older Kubota B7100 with gear drive transmission and 4wd. The tractor has some known transmission issues and lots of other issues but it is my intent to get everything fixed.

1. I got the tractor split and need to separate the tranny from the rear end. I removed the two inner bolts and all the outer nuts, it doesn't want to separate. Is there something that I am missing?

2. Are there any members in Oregon that sell parts?

3. The hydraulic fluid had water in it, is there a good way to flush the system?

4.The tractor did not come with a ROPS and this tractor will be used on a hill so I want to update with a ROPS and seatbelt.
Will a ROPS from a newer hydrostatic model work?

5. Does anyone know which aftermarket paint will be closest to original colors?

Thanks!

There should be 9 external nuts and one internal nut and one internal bolt.

Flush the Hydraulic system with cheap hydraulic fluid, also clean the screen.

Yes an B7100 HST ROPS will work.
