Really getting away from the subject but: Chicken Tractor

Please state the problem better- Will it turn over (crank) and just not start or will the starter not turn the engine (not crank). If it won't turn over then it will be some electrical problem probably. If it turns over but won't start I would look at fuel problem - water in fuel, out of...

I can try to get out an look around on my L185 this weekend and get back to you. It has a very similar system. I looked at the parts manual for the L225 and did not see anything. I think it is probably for the stop lever or the parking brake ratchet that are both in that general area.

Re: HELP,I Broke It (PICS ADDED) If it was my tractor I would want to know it was broken and be involved in the fix. It appears to be a new tractor and may be covered by warranty. I suggest you contact your FRIEND. To find what is loose, have some one move the pedal up and down. You...

Yes, that is what I was trying to describe. You could try to make some wooden or plastic shaped pieces inside the sheath to fit the tooth better... Sounds like a dentist putting a crown on a tooth! You might be able to use some type of nylon ratchet strap to hold this bar up onto the "roof...

There should be a speed control knob for the 3 pt hitch. Usually a knob under the front of the seat. There is a position that locks the 3 pt from going down. Usually this is marked by arrows on or near the knob. If it got turned to lock, then the 3 pt will not go down. Turn that knob and see...

In the second picture in the first post of this thread you can see the filter on a L185 (similar). http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9299&highlight=transmission The picture is from above the tractor, looking down and back on the left side of tractor (sitting in the...

Sorry I haven't been back to this post for a bit. I think I have an idea or two. I will try to sketch them up and post back soon. Here they are in words but may not make sense: On the bottom part of the grapple I think you could build something to sandwich the grapple (meat of the...

Does your tractor have any manual fuel shut off lever? For instance on my (old) L185, to kill the tractor, you pull up on a lever that shuts the fuel off and kills the engine. On newer tractors there is a solenoid that does it when the key is turned off. I think they still have some manual...

Guzzis3- You never really stated what you want to mow. I have a L185 with a 4 foot rear mount shredder (slasher, brush hog, whatever you call it). I use it to mow a 4 acre field of grass/weeds with the occasional piece of brush. I went with the rear mount because it can be adjusted to...

Go to http://www.kubota.com Select the PARTs button Select Illustrated Parts List Accept the legal stuff Search for your tractor model (B7100) There will be several matches for different types of B7100 Near some of these will be "Local Options" You will then see a list of optional equipment for...

I think you would drive yourself crazy trying to get a cut end of a vine into the triangular area. On your grapple, can you get a flat bar across two or three of the teeth and another flat bar to span the teeth of the two top grapples? Weld some small to medium angles to the flat bars so...

My tractor has a screen in front of the radiator to help keep it clean. There is one poster that highly recommends putting cheap AC filters in front of the radiator. I think that would be a great idea if you are mowing. I had to take the screen off to get it clean after mowing - the grass...

I have a L185F which is similar (I think). I will take some pictures this weekend and post them up.

Very nicely thought out and executed.

Are you sure they are not just regular fuses with the glass tube broken away? I have a L185 and have not looked at the fuses lately but could almost swear they are the older style (1960 - 1980) fuses (glass tube with the flat metal that is wide at the ends and thinner at the middle). Sounds...

Hey BAP, If you will scroll so that the second post is at or below the bottom of your screen it will not cove up the picture you really want to see.

It could be the starter solenoid is staying closed even when the key is turned off. I think that the key makes the solenoid close contacts that then power the starter motor and at the same time throws the gear toward the flywheel. If there is some dirt/crud built up in the solenoid that won't...

Messick's has them. The one I got for my L185 seemed to be a copy so the pictures are not crystal clear but it is more than I had before. http://www.messicks.com/partdetail/9Y111-01170.aspx The Kubota part number is 9Y111-01170 (I think) so you could search for that and see what turns up.

Looks good! How did you get the engine so clean? What ever happened with the SSt tractor?
