What size tires are you running now, and which tread type? 1500 hours and 21 years before your first under-hood repair. And to think folks wonder why we spend the big money on Kubota rather than buying Chinese or Indian tractors?

A quick note for you Jeff Doc. You can buy the bearings separately and replace them. Doing so will allow you to have a spare dynamo sitting on the shelf, ready to go should you need it. I'm curious to know how many hours were on yours when it quit? I ask because the same thing happened on my...

I have a B2410 with a 54" MMM and a B7510 with a 60" MMM and just bought another 54" deck for my other B7510. They are all "drive over" style. Frankly, I don't drive over them. I put the tractor on concrete or asphalt, jack up the front end of the tractor and slide the mowing deck in...

The short answer is... you can't do it. The up/down connection for the mid-mount-mower relies on a mechanical connection to the 3pth lift arms. If the lift arms don't go up and down your mower doesn't go up and down. I've attached a photo of the interlinking bracket (orange) with the left...

Cooling is a function of power usage and the ability of the machine to dissipate excess heat through its own cooling system. Whether the machine sits up higher or not won't make a difference. I have three B series tractors. All of them run cool. At various times I push them all to the limit...

Yes, the hoses will be hot. The bypass valve is a good idea for warm weather operations. I just made a Tee from soldered copper pipe and a standard 1/4 turn valve from the plumbing aisle at Home Depot. It's a seasonal change - for winter, turn the valve 1/4 turn to the closed position so no...

Tip number one... Spend some time reading here so you can learn how your hydraulic system works. Don't expect folks to spoon-feed you - do some research and learning on your own, then come back with more specific questions.

You haven't said what you use this tractor to do. If now plowing fields all day, there are better tires out there than the R1's. I had R1's on one of my B7510's and replaced them with turf tires - much better for my needs. The new hybrid turf tires seem a better compromise between off-road...

Nice looking cab. If you have heat in the cab you may want to make at least one of your windows and "awning-style" opening window - that is, hinged at the top so the bottom pushes out and away from the cab frame. This will allow for ventilation (especially when snowblowing and your coat might...

Dan - I very much appreciate the generosity you show here in sharing both information not commonly available as well as your own expertise. Given that we are "north of the border" and only have access to Premium UDT, how does it stack up, qualitatively, against S-UDT? I know you posted earlier...

Perhaps a silly question... In your description of the installation design and the process of installation I'm not sure I read about how you sourced oil to pressure lube the turbo. Did I miss this? Also... just a casual observation from a different industry. EGT readings are highly...

Just make sure the HST pedal is in the neutral position before shifting range - the transmission must be fully unloaded for the range change to happen.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dan. I "thought" it looked that straightforward but wasn't sure. All parts included in the kit are dry, very dry, so I think I'll likely use some white lithium grease on the end of the plunger (part E in the case of the up/down portion of the valve) - this...

I'll come into this discussion by opening with a statement of strong bias. I have three B-series tractors, a 2410 and a pair of 7510's. I'm a bit of a fan of the B-series tractors. The B-series brings a good blend of capability and economics. Mine, with 21 engine HP, don't struggle to do...

Well folks I've procrastinated long enough. After complaining since purchasing the tractor (B7510) that the float detent on the loader valve (LA302) would work sometimes and not other, then later complaining that it had ceased to function entirely, I'm finally getting around to changing it...

OK, thanks to D2Cat's helpful reply I have come to realize I'm a complete dope... The switch was right there in front of my eyes the whole time, very easy to find. OK, it wasn't as easy to find as I had thought, simply because the single wire spade-style connection had become disconnected...

Thanks, D2... That's a hard spot to see with the loader frame attached so I bet that's why I missed it. I'm betting I've got a bad switch but if it's accessible it shouldn't be hard to change.

Looking for some help from those who have "been there, done that" before me... I'm troubleshooting a problem with the oil pressure switch on my B7510 (same systems apply to B2410). When I turn the key to the "on" position the battery lamp comes on but the oil pressure lamp does not. When I...

Try a C85-12F. Or ANY of the small Continentals that power so many of the pre- and post-war aviation boom airplanes. They are equipped with an oil screen, not an oil filter. My C85-12F no longer has an oil screen because it has to be removed as part of the process of installing a TAF-L oil...

My Lycoming is a 50 hour oil and filter cycle... The Continental doesn't have a recommended cycle because it was built before screw-on oil filters were invented! After adding a filter adapter to that engine I've opted to follow the same 50 hour oil and filter cycle as the Lycoming-powered...
