Looks OK "B" is Pump "c" is Tank and "a" is power beyond. Wouldn't be something as simple as the three point hitch going to high causing it to go over relief? You should be able to move the rockshaft up 1/4 to 1/2 inch with the three point hitch lever right at the back. ( you'd be amazed how...

Further thinking about your tractor I'm wondering if you could have the power beyond plugged. Do you have three hoses to your tractor from the valve? Ed

Sounds like you might have a closed center valve on there. If so it will not work! Some valves have a plug you can change to convert from closed center to open center. can you post a picture of the valve? Ed

There was a time, when diesel engines were hard to start because of engine design, available starters, batteries etc. , when if you got one running you sure didn't want to shut it off till you were done with it! Also, with big trucks, often the engine in the old beast is the furnace and...

Maybe just a little big yet, but I'd sure try it! You reduce the length of the gears to reduce the displacement of a gear pump. Some accurate machining required and the gears are quite hard but with patience and time it is doable! Ed

You know you could fire up that lathe you have and modify that pump so it isn't to big. :D

When you look under the platform where the three hoses go, the most rearward hose is the power beyond. remove it and route the hoses so the oil comes from that hose to the log splitter valve and back to the fitting that you removed the hose from. If your splitter uses a third hose you can tee it...

The clue is in the turf tire sizes I gave you. Because the first number in turf tire size indicates inflated tire diameter, the proper ratio is 20 to 27. As long as you maintain that ratio (or very close) you can use whatever tire fits. Ed

Hi Rob There were 3 B6000 models a B6000, a B6000E and a B6000E-T The tire sizes respectively were 6-12 and 7-16, 400-9 and 7-16, 20 x800-10 and 27 X 850-15. The B6000E-T I assume is turf tires. The tractor is slightly slower with the turf tires. Ed

It's extremely important that you keep the lead ratio right when fitting tires on any four wheel drive. If the front tires get bigger you must increase the rear size as well or you WILL break gears in your front end! I don't recommend larger than stock tires on the B5000 and B6000 because 1st...

Whether you stress your loader or not is up to you, Some people can bend a crowbar in a sandbox! Angling the blade does introduce more stress alright but if you use common sense you'll not have a problem. we have sold some of these and I've never heard back from them. Ed

Hi Alan I think that should be V1502-d1. If so a upper gasket set is pn 0791632285 at you friendly Kubota dealer! Ed

I here you! I'm often guilty of reinventing things or "improving" on the original design. Sometimes it even works! In your case you will improve the performance because the original pump wasn't designed for a loader so is low in flow. A somewhat larger pump will be great as long as the system...

The easiest and best way to fix your tractor would be to install a new original equipment pump. The part number for it is 3511076101. We will sell you one for $481.00 Canadian. Ed

I got my decimal point in the wrong place! Should be 10 to 12 cubic centimeters. ( .61 to .63 cubic inches) Ed

A log splitter pump would be OK provided it's displacement was about 1.1 to 1.3 cc This will give about 6 to 8 usgpm at 2600 rpm which should be in the ballpark for your tractor. the higher GPM will make the hydraulics faster but will consume more HP so you have a tradeoff. Personally I see no...

Hi JSR your oil pressure switch is on the left hand side near the back of the engine just below the cylinder head. Pressure switch should operate at 7 psi. system relief is 64 psi. Kubota haven't given a spec on it but I would say minimum oil pressure, hot engine at idle should be no less than...

No I don't think it's necessary to remove the glow plugs completely. If you isolated each on and resistance tested them that should be sufficient. What oil do you have in that engine? Ed

You did take the strap that connects the glow plugs together off to test each glow plug individually did you? If you didn't you could have one burnt out. Ed

What can I say? Great tractor, hours are low, has power steering, price seems right. On the negative side, no live pto but otherwise it'll do a lot of work for you. Go for it! you'll love it! Ed
