    Bro-Tec spacer install ? on B2601

    I think I see the difference, some models like BX use lug nuts with the cone part inward against the wheel the B models use the lug nuts with lock washers and the flat size of the nut facing the wheel. The BX style spacers come with the second set of lug nuts where as the B spacer comes with...

    Bro-Tec spacer install ? on B2601

    In the install directions provided it suggested marking the backside of the provided studs at axle flange with a permanent marking pen so one could easily inspect for a stud(s) working loose. I used a white out marker. For those that did not have to go through the stud removal when installing...

    Bro-Tec spacer install ? on B2601

    Had to remove factory studs, then Bro-tec spacers are bolted to the axle hub with new tapered shoulder bolts (provided), the studs you see in the pic are studs installed by Bro-tec that the wheel then goes on and original lug nuts and lock washers are used to hold the wheel on. These are 2 inch...

    Got them installed, worked out great tires are now exact same width as my bucket. Got old studs out without damaging them. Clear coated them before install to keep them from oxidizing.

    Bro-Tec spacer install ? on B2601

    Just got this reply from Bro-Tec, Yes, that the way we design them, the Wheel must be snug, the axle flange is done with the hardware taper lug bolt to properly center it to the axle. Richard

    B2601 Treadle Pedal hard to use

    I replaced the the return spring on the linkage today on my B2601with a lighter (tension) spring and it made a noticeable difference on the effort needed to depress the pedal. I am not a big man so every little bit helped

    New B2601 needs a mechanical thumb!

    I am in the same situation as you with the same tractor, I looked on the Kubota build site and it is a $482 option. To me that is way too much money. The Bxpanded brand barracuda thumb is $370 which is a little better on price. Not sure if there are any other aftermarkets available. I have...

    Bro-Tec wheel spacers.

    Unfortunately the B2601 has a uncommon bolt pattern that does not match trucks /Jeep bolt pattern. Believe me I looked. Thanks

They did have the spacers in stock and ready to be shipped, unlike Bora that states 4-6 weeks unless you want to pay for a...

    B2601 pin on bucket?

    I did a little more research last night and found a Kubota dealer that sells a kit that includes the FEL bracket and and a weld on bracket to change up the pin on bucket for $775. I would think one could buy the FEL bracket ($440) and the factory QA bucket ($460), and like you said sell/trade...
