    Mid PTO driveshaft attachment

    This is basically what I did on my 7200 except I used a 4" angle grinder with a well worn 1/4" thick disk. I measured the new coupling to see where the balls would be on the spline and then marked with caulk. I then started the PTO in high speed and carefully put a small notch in the spline...

    B2910 Salvage Machine - Rebuildable?

    I totally agree that the right decision was made here. That tractor sustained a major hit that appears to have twisted the frame as well as all the other damage. Your own labor has to be calculated into the equation as well. Wondering how badly the driver was injured in the accident.

    Problem with front driveshaft trans output -HELP!

    From pictures I have looked at it appears similar to my b7200hst. I just recently replaced the rear universal on mine. I was able to spin the joint until it was vertical and drove it out with a pin punch. Then I disassembled the cover over the front joint and removed shaft. Overall it was a...

    Hey, those Canadian pennies are going to be valuable some day as they are not used anymore up here. We now just round up or down to the closest nickel.

    Tractor garages or pole barns...?

    I am almost finished building a 30' x 52' barn with a loft. Although I could have built it considerably cheaper using pole construction I opted for proper 4' concrete foundation walls. The inspector liked that and told me that with the changes to the chemicals used in pressure treated woods...

    B7100 HST Upgrade

    I might be in the market for an upgrade myself since I have been overworking my B7200. The L2501 looks like a great tractor but I need a mid PTO for my front blower.

    I am using a desktop with windows 10. Browser is internet explorer (edge) and have no adblocker. Recently installed new anti-virus as well as anti-malware. Just seems strange that I do not have this problem on other forums that I frequent.

    7200 with a weak hydraulic system

    I had a similar situation after working on the hydraulics on mine and found that I had accidentally knocked the directional valve out of position a bit on the top of the block that the loader hoses attach to. I believe that the pin should point away from the tractor towards the loader hoses but...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Replaced the battery before starting tractor in -18 deg. C temperature. Then I cleared the 4000 foot long driveway with the blower. I sure could use a heated cab.

    Another general tractor question

    The plugging of the rad reminds me of when I was late cutting a five acre field covered with dandelions that had come to seed a couple of years ago. Had to clean the rad screen and blow everything off with an air hose after every two circuits of the field otherwise I would smell anti-freeze...

    Harbor Freight Grinder Alert

    Harbor Freight carries similar quality to Princess Auto up here. I refuse to buy any item with a power cord or air hose connection that has their Power Fist label. I have even thrown their hack saw blades and sandpaper in the garbage as it cost more to return them than they cost. The only thing...

    Who has the best way to deal with leaves in the fall ?

    I built this vacuum a few years ago that attached to the mower deck (not in picture). I sold it some time ago when I purchased a riding lawn mower with a smaller vacuum setup. The homemade one worked great but took up a lot of storage area even though it collapsed to 22" wide. We use to take a...

    B7200hst no start

    The battery is not that old which I know means nothing. I did have it out last year when I was re-painting the battery tray and cleaned all the connections. I will see what I find tomorrow.

    B7200hst no start

    Today I started the tractor so my wife could cut some grass. It seemed a bit slow turning over but did start. My wife shut it down and I went to move it later and the battery seemed to be down and would not start. The lights would not even work. I jumped it to my truck which allowed lights...
