Amazing restoration! That looks better than new. Kubota will probably want it for their museum.

1008 hours - PO placed 5 hours on it in the last 3 years.... had records of all work.

Was my first Kubota and I bought it new. Hydrostat 4wd with the turf tires. I should have kept it. Had a nice mower deck too. Oh well, 10 Kubota's later and I have the 2 M9's.

I have to say that I never had any issues with any of them.

Impressive!
Is that same hood reshaped back to normal?

Dang! All the best adjectives are already used. I'll just have to say, "WOW!!" Nice job!!

edit: Double dang! Even Wow was used.

No, I was able to find a nice hood as there was no help for that one. Thanks for all the nice comments, way more fun then the golf course!

Nice job! Looks like a brand new tractor.

Amazing! You have great skills to be able to accomplish that.

Yes indeed that's a WOW job! how much time do you estimate it took over all?

it took 3 months. I am semi retired so I devoted quite a bit of time to it. The key to a nice restoration is complete disassembly, attention to detail, shop manuals and of course money.

I cannot believe what some folks can do! Very nice job.

Great job. Those are amazing little tractors. Mine is a 1978. Got the ROPS kit from Kubota a cpl years ago. There's some great folks on here pointed me in all the right directions on my restore. Amazing how many folks own 7100's.

You clearly have a lot of talent and have coupled it with a lot of knowledge. What an amazing looking restoration. I've seen a lot of folks who will buy a tractor intending to fix it up, do 2 or 3 things then lose interest and it never gets done. I admire when I see this level of craftsmanship and dedication to actual completion, to the smallest of details even. It says a lot about the kind of person you are. Gonna go back up and enjoy those pics one more time. Hats off to you, I hope you enjoy what you've accomplished.

WOW! Looks to good to get dirty! Now the question is.....are you going to use it and get it dirty?

 

[Magicman]

That is an incredible restoration job. Congrats & enjoy.

I saw this thread when you first posted and had no reply yet. I was gonna jokingly say BS as those restored pictures were from when you bought it new. Glad I didn't cause as other have pointed out it probably never looked that good when new. I am amazed at your restoration job.
