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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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?

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?

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.

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...

Received, thank you. Will continue the conversation there. Jason

Very glad to find this thread! @Dave_eng , if this is still available may I chime in for a copy? Got a B2320HSD project and figured a WSM will spare the forum members from suffering a barrage of my stupid questions. Thank you for your time! Jason

I'll look more closely, but I haven't seen any from a casual dipstick check. Got less than 10 hours on the oil. Yeeesss, but it never hurts to be reminded. One anomaly is that when I changed the starter, it suddenly cranked up like a champ. Before a new starter I could not get it to fire...

I have a D1005 on my B7500 that blows bubbles in the reserve tank and is hard to start without starting fluid. I'm assuming that it needs a head gasket and new rings (Original owner sold it with a hole punched in the radiator). If you question that diagnosis, I'd be glad to hear from you. Does...
