What the heck is por15, and where do you get it? Yeah, all four of my blowers need a little "slippery" inside the discharge chute, but I find blowing gravel does wonder to remove rust! :eek::D

I have both 3pt hitch / tractor-powered splitter and a self-contained one which I recently acquired. While the OP fully understands and has articulated his infrequent need to use a splitter, for others in the future who might come along and read this thread I'll share my thoughts. Having used...

This summer I made the mistake of leaving the B7510 in 4WD while doing some lifting with the loader. That lifting required me to make a tight turn on the pavement. Ugh, could I ever feel those tires protesting! For winter ops where my tractors get most of their work, I leave them in 4wd when...

I wouldn't worry too much about the water having been in there. Many older farm tractors have sat outside for many years. They use the transmission as the common storage tank for fluid so it's transmission/differential/hydraulic fluid (TDH). These things just soldier on, year after year. As...

I'll post a contrarian reply. One of my B7510's was used on urban streets, clearing snow in private driveways. The salt damage on this tractor is minimal but it still makes the task of working on anything that's touched salt a total PITA. Things that should just unbolt need to be cut off with...

Ditto what Dave said. Go to your local Kubota dealer and buy a supply of shear bolts and nuts. One of the bolt styles has an intentional "weakening groove" cut in its shank such that it will shear before damage happens. They are not terribly expensive. I bought 10 of each, split them...

I wonder how close the fit would be for a B7510? Likely not close enough, darn it! Would love a set to keep the snow off the engine during snow blower operations...

Uh, yeah ^^^^^^ that's the ticket! I have box blades on my two B7510's and a conventional scraper blade on the B2410. The only reason the B2410 wears a conventional blade is because I got it very cheap. It is in every way inferior to a box blade. Having the box blade installed really does...

If you can't get the hydraulic chute rotator installed in a reasonable amount of time you may wish to consider going electric. Yeah, I had the same shudder when I first considered it, too! :-) I have three machines with front-mounted blowers. One uses the Kubota hydraulic rotator, one uses a...

My first B7510 was used in the city for snow removal. If course it was being driven down the streets which had been salted. I've cured many of its cosmetic rust issues caused by that road salt, but some of the more mechanically-challenging issues I can't fix - parts now have to be cut off with...

I'm hoping to find a set of rear wheel chains for my B7510 on R1 Ag tires. Tire size is 9.5-16. I'm throwing this out here in case somebody has a set of chains they don't need... Likewise, a Canadian source would be terrific!

Hmmm, what a coincidence... was just at our local dealer today and was looking at the B2601 on their shop floor. It was equipped with a BX-series blower that uses the K-connect. The previous generation of quick disconnect appears to be a much more simple device, however its total bearing...

Well, as it turned out, the solution was indeed far more simple than it originally seemed. The fan shroud is slightly out of alignment with the fan itself. When I was looking at it I was standing on the left side of the tractor where the dynamo is located. On that side there is little...

I spoke with one of our local dealers today. The bearings for the dynamo are relatively inexpensive - I was told there are three identical bearings. Each is under CAD$10. The replacement dynamo is $231. Since I need to have the tractor up and running before the weekend, and both Tuesday and...

Thanks for the helpful responses. I was afraid the bearing seizure had caused other problems in the dynamo. I've been able to get it turning again by hand so that's a good sign. As for the fan belt, there's no way it will come out past the ends of the fan blades - the clearance between the...

Well wouldn't you know it... I set out to spend a day at the airport cutting grass. Got the runway cut then started cutting the tiedown area. Suddenly there was a squeal, a puff of smoke and the alternator light came on. Thinking the water pump had seized I shut down the PTO, cut the revs...

Or, for those who like round engines... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj4ERSSHCjE

Dumb question as I don't know a tart from a tort... but outside the legal system, are you perhaps in a position, SDT, to provide a summary of down-time, frustration, headaches etc to Kubota corporate? The corporate entity may see an opportunity to stem the bleeding of reputation on this model...

OK, this is unrelated, yet related... Yesterday as I was driving along I saw a large Class A motorhome parked beside the road in a lane that featured a steep down-hill grade from the road. Something didn't look right so I slowed down. Sure enough, the right front wheel had been removed from...

I've often heard it said that moderating an internet discussion forum is miserable work. While I can't say I have experience doing the job, I can say with certainty that I have respect for those who do it, and especially for those who keep this forum a nice sandbox to play in. Thank you NIW...
