Kubota B7001 serial question

[boomer]

I think my machine is a Z/N, I would like to know for sure of the year too. Can you tell me what this serial number reveals?

On the left side of the transmission housing it reads B7001-13623

Thanks in advance..

D750 motor
2WD
Gear transmission

Wow thats cool! This machine is spotless. No rust, no dents, doesnt leak a drop of oil. It is completely original. It even had the little wooden block in the toolbox. Behind the dash, I found the original plastic bag of extra fuses. It came with a 4ft finish mower and a plow, (power up, gravity down) loaded rear turf tires. Also came with the original rice paddy rear tires and wheels. Doesnt look like they have ever been used and still hold air. Picked it up for $1,850.00 last summer. Too bad its only 2WD though. Thanks for the info!! Im working on repainting it now. Ill try to post some pics when its done.

That is an interesting find, I agree! Also, picking all of that up for $1850 is a good find too! For $1800 or so here in Canada, you get... well.... a pile of scrap! Nothing that resembles a tractor or mower, or both! Nice find. Sounds like you got a good deal! Repainting is a great idea. Have you seen our articles - could come in handy:

Vic mentioned that your B series was built in 1976 so, if you want the authentic color, go for the "first" of the two oranges Kubota used on their equipment - Orange Enamel.

Boomer,

The info I have found does not reveal much but the year it was built. Here is a site that was offered to me thought you might like to take a look.

You have a 1978 B7100, not uncommon for the B7100 to have B7001 in front of the serial #.
If the labels on the dash and other places are in English it's a b7100, if they are in Japanese then it's a B7001.

Thats what i thought but my grandfather (who bought it new in PA) swears it was the early 70's when he purchased the tractor. The serial tag is in english and japaneese if that matters.

I'm just trying to get the details squared away on this tractor!
