    B7100 front end play?

    What happened with mine was over the years I used my B7100 hard and the pin was probably stretched but also the front axle supports that the pin goes through were actually bowed out from the back and forth movement of going forward to reverse quickly also causing some wear in the pin supports...

    B7100 front end play?

    That is what I suggested you do earlier. It will not hurt anything to try it and it may resolve your issue for a long time. I know it did on my B7100, except as I stated the pin did not contain enough threads to take out the slack without adding a thick washer. That meant there was a lot of wear...

    B7100 front end play?

    I had the same tractor, a B7100 HST 4x4 that developed a lot of play in the pin that holds the front axle on after about 2000 hours. There was a little gear oil leaking around the pin area but it was more of a job to repair than I wanted to tackle at the time so I removed the cotter key in the...

    Battery holder

    There is an angle iron tie down with a long bolt at each end to tighten and hold the battery tight. I no longer have my B7100 but if I remember correctly the angle iron piece was about 3/8 x 3/8 wide and about 1/16 thick that ran the width of the battery. It had a hole in each end for the hold...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    Dave, have you (or anyone else) installed the aux hydraulic tank and if so what was the reason, was it because of a failure or a problem you were having, or did you install it for peace of mind? I would appreciate input from those who have installed the aux tank and if it solved the problems you...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    Dave, I also have the orange wire with the connector on the end that is not connected to anything. It may be for a dealer installed backup alarm or something similar. I know my wiring is factory original as I bought the mower new and it has never been back to the dealer or any repair facility as...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    I want to thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions, I'm fairly certain it probably doesn't make a lot of difference if the blades are not installed (aligned) as the manual states to. With the single double V belt driven spindles and the flat surface that the blades attach to (no saddle)...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    Thank you all for your help. I found a pdf file of kubota mowers and it shows the bottom of the 72" deck and from what I can remember it shows the correct alignment of the blades. The blades are aligned as follows starting from the chute: 1:00 & 7:00, 3:00 & 9:00, and 4:00 & 10:00. Bulldog the...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    Thank you for your response freewheel3...I know because the blades are belt driven (although with a double belt) it is possible for them to slip and I know that regardless of how they are installed they cannot strike each other but I would like to install them correctly so that they will...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    The mower deck is model number RCK72P_28Z. I'm not sure but I would think any of the 72" mower decks and probably smaller decks would have the same blade alignment. I have recently moved and can't find my owners manual for this mower at this time (still looking) and I need to get the blades...

    ZD28 Owners Manual (Blade Install Alignment)

    Hello, I hope someone can help me. I have a ZD28 with a 72" pro deck and I need to change the blades. I know the owners manual states to align the blades a certain way (timing?) but I can't get my hands on my owners manual at this time so I hope someone can post the page from the owners manual...

    2000 Model M6800 Dash Light Meaning

    I have a M5700 and when the PTO is running there is an orange or yellow light that comes on to remind you the PTO is engaged. With your tractor running you can engage the PTO and see if the light comes on, if it comes on with the PTO engaged try turning off the PTO and see if the light goes out...

    B8200 HST forward and reverse pedal issue

    I had a B7100 HST that had the same creeping problem. I don't know if your model will have the same adjustment to the HST available or if it is in the same location as was on my B7100 HST. On mine all the linkage was adjusted and working correctly and I still had the creeping issue. I found out...

    New to the forum and need some help!

    I had a B7100 that I was using to pull a heavy log and had it chained to a boxblade, I had to jerk on the log a few times to get get it moving and on about the fourth jerk I noticed one side of the boxblade was on the ground while the other side was where it should be. I found out I had stripped...

    b-7100 strange noise

    I would go ahead and replace the fan belt while you have the pulley loose, if you haven't replaced it recently because it is a tight area to work in. Joe

    b-7100 strange noise

    My B7100 did the same thing, without any warning upon starting there was a high pitched noise coming from the front of the engine. During the 20 + years I owned it this happened twice and both times it was the idler pulley bearing that caused the noise. Replaced the bearing (fairly cheap at...

    diagnosing a non-working fuel gauge on zd28

    Ron, thank you for your response. I checked the float and it moves freely up and down. It does not have any effect on the gauge reading which reads empty regardless of the float position and the gauge reading does not move at all when the key is switched on and off. Any suggestions on...
