Very impressive work Wildfire!!! My hats off to you. I have 45 years in machining/welding experience and I never had the patience (or money) to do what you have done. Very nice! Frank

I notice there is some kind of mechanism inside the valve cover for the breather pipe, I was wondering if this was malfunctioning and causing the problem?

By the way, my manual called for 4.1 quarts of oil, which I put in 4 qts penzoil, after it cooled down I checked level to make sure I didn't lose all of it, and it showed just a hair above full. Don't know why, because the manual says 4 qts? Frank

The filter I changed was a Wix! Which was on the machine for 2 years, the filter I just put on was also Wix. Hmm, problems with Wix? I let the tractor cool down for half hour, then started it real easy and no oil leak, went to mow again for half hour, doing fine, then the leak started again...

I don't know, I had my B7100 radiator repaired by a local repair shop, they cleaned it all out perfectly and then repaired 2 minor leaks. (it just needed a good inside cleaning) and they charged me $25.00, then I got a used one on ebay for $30.00 from Joesoutdoor power and brought it to the...

This little tractor only has 1800 hours on it, and has been running like new for the 7 years that I owned it. Yesterday, I changed oil and filter, put in the right amount of oil (didn't overfill) then it was a problem starting, had to use the heaters 4 times and turn it many times before...

Thanks ever so much Vic, you have helped alot, give your team a great thank you. Can't ask for a better guy! Frank

I did mine, be careful, it is heave. Best to take it apart and put it on the bench to do everything. Seals gears, bearings and bushing and don' lose the shime, keep them where they were. If you need any help, email me at newdes@gmail.com I am now helping a guy with his mower gearbox rebuild...

Sonny, If you can take a little suggestion on welding cast iron, don't use NI rod!!!!! Tig it with stainless filler wire. I have been welding castings for 30 years, and never had one break. Clean it with grinder and use root pass and filler pass, then if you like, a cap pass making sure you...

Hi Guys, You can see lots of loader build pictures as well as backhoe pics at pfengineering.com he sells plans for build your own loader and backhoe as well as pics from his customers. Mostly for garden tractors, but some larger models. I am building one for my Kubota B7100HST and adding...

Hi Stumpy, My hats off to you, can't even leave your posts, sooo interesting explanations. I am toolmaker by trade and the machining you have done with what you have is beyond the best. Thanks for the info and pics as well as the write ups. I am sure we all envy you as I do to take on such a...

Thanks for jumping in. Share it all with us if you can. Repairs are easy if you have the help of this forum. Welcome aboard.

I got mine from Jensales, they have them for everything. http://www.jensales.com/

Yep, if you send me your email (because I will lose this page shortly) I will send you the measurements tomorrow morning. I have a L245DT with FEL and backhoe and box blade, rake, sprayer, bush hog and finish mower along with my B7100HST. I also have all the manuals for everything...

Is yours a mowing deck or grass collector? If it is mowing deck, I can help you as I take my 48" mower deck completely apart (including gearbog) every year at end of season and go through everything, replace/repack all bearings and replace seals and completely clean deck (easy when it is just...

I agree with sledge, Both my L245DT and the B7100 are always in 4 wheel drive, but our property is very hilly (all 7 acres and I mow all of it) so I am always in 4 wd (no pavement though). Next step this winter is to install power steering on the L245DT with FEL and backhoe, then the L7100 HST...

Here's another site that show the pictures of several units. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=power+steering+kits+for+tractors&qpvt=power+steering+kits+for+tractors&FORM=IGRE

Hi all you guys, Here is a better website to show how the power steering works, you can click on any of the models and see the kit installed. http://www.powersteeringkit.com/ Hope this helps, Frank

In the meantime, I am busy mowing 7 acreas with both tractors, whew! Maybe this fall I will build loader and add power steering to B7100HST, then pull the L245DT apart and fix shifting problem, and add power steering then. Will post when I do it. By the way, if you click on any of the...

Whoops, I said weld the hydraulic cylinder end onto the rod, that is incorrect, you weld the BRACKET for the hydraulic cylinder to the frame and attach the piston to the steering rod.
