    Manual Third Function Valve for Standard LL

    Good evening, Your listing is intriguing, but I'm struggling to know how the power beyond and selector valving works. Did you just plumb this inline on the pressure side of you loader valves? I'd appreciate a PM if you care to elaborate. Been casually interested in adding a third function to...

    Best Choice: Box Blade, Grader, Home Built...?

    I've been wanting to make or buy something to maintain the driveway and occasionally groom fresh earth such as building sites or new lawns. My assumption was that a drag combined with a box blade was my best bet. Not sure how smooth a job a box blade will do in the hands of an inexperienced...

    One Attachment, Six Jobs—Meet the Farm Hand

    Looks similar to a 3pt hitch that has been evolving on the back of my tractor. I have not put forks on mine yet, figured I'd rather have those on my bucket. But for those that need more lifting/carrying power or don't have a FEL, the forks would be great. Just a suggestion based on what I'm...

    WTB: B2920, B2620, or B2320 Hydrostatic Group/transmission

    I'm keeping my ear to the ground for a HST group or complete rear end that fits my B2320 tractor. These things don't seem to be common on the salvage market. I've hammered every website and phone number I can find for a rebuilt or second hand unit with no luck. If you happen to stumble across...

    Used Kubota B without loader or control lever, can I add later?

    This is truly encouraging. Thanks for the insight! I was recently blessed with a WSM by another forum member (you know who you are, thank you!), which also helps tremendously. Did you post a project thread anywhere? I'd dearly love to see other's work in similar situations, just for reference.

    Electrical - Wiring Diagrams

    For anyone else who shambles in here looking, @KubotaCool shared the B7500 electrical system documentation pages here. That said, if you have a WSM it's all in there.

    Used Kubota B without loader or control lever, can I add later?

    I'll second this. I bought my first machine thinking, like you @bennynihon , that I could add a loader later. Boy was I wrong. With that said, I do have a B2320 (380hrs) that has a smoked HST that I'm not sure what to do with; rebuild or part out. I bought it thinking it would be an easy fix...

    Work Shop Manuals (WSM)

    In support of this statement I have yet to find a WSM for the B7500, which unfortunately is just past the "late 90's". What are the chances anyone has a source for a PDF?

    How many has Kubota produced?

    Just curious..... First an objective question: What model of tractor has Kubota produced the most of to date? Shall we segregate them by series? Second, a subjective question: What model do you prefer to work on? Or find parts for, for that matter?

    Electrical - Wiring Diagrams

    Looking for a wiring schematic and/or diagram for B7500. Pawed through the files in KubotaBooks but didn't see anything close enough to be helpful. The parts diagram is there, but that doesn't have the details or info I need.

    I think I overpaid

    Perhaps I should add a bit of perspective as one who is entering the Kubota world from the other direction. I have purchased my tractors in distressed condition, and am slowly learning what many who are wiser than I already knew: there is no such thing as a free lunch. A distressed machine...

    Thank you, sir! Your terms are reasonable rather ingenious. I'm in the process of trying to decide whether to part out or repair my 2320. If I part it out a WSM really won't profit much, so I'm going to hold off until I know for sure how things are going to shape up. Regards, Jason
