Bruin4, I see you're right here in CT as well. The oil analysis will definitely help IF the oil hasn't been changed recently and IF the damage/wear is detectable. An overheated motor will eventually have head gasket issues but likely won't show up in the oil other than possibly more deposits...

I've done several dozen of these seals and the most important tool you can have is a good set of snap ring pliers. Napa sells some ratcheting ones for $75(!) that work mint on the larger snap rings. If you want to save the money, a LARGE set of fixed ones from craftsman will work too. Don't...

Is the engine oil clear and overfilled? I have seen hydraulic pump seals fail on older B7100's and such where the hydraulic fluid pumps into the engine crankcase and then out of the breather and down all over the motor.

I used a scrap concrete block from a concrete plant. They sell the 18"x18"x5' blocks for around $20 (cheaper than buying concrete). I hammerdrilled through the block and broke it in half, and then drilled a hole through the middle to fit a rod through which goes through my 3pt. Works very...

Check your front axle fluid level. There is a 13mm plug on the back of the axle that you remove to see if the fluid is full. If nothing drips out, stick a screwdriver or your finger in there and see if its close or way low on fluid. The front axles use UDT which is the same fluid Kubota...

Thanks for pointing it out. There was a discussion about "leading vs trailing" for the front end of the tractor. Essentially you need your fronts to travel slightly FASTER than the rears to reduce binding. A slightly larger tire will accomplish that nicely. I can confirm that the new rim...

Wolfman, its a 4wd, however the WIDTH of the tire is changing, not the height. Seeing that my existing tires are over 20yrs old and well worn, the new tire will be a step in the right direction. You're correct that the diameter of the tire is crucial for 4wd, but I'm not expecting width to be...

I worked with a small time private dealer (who was moving 30+ tractors a year) and he consistently bought Woods loaders for all of his Kubota's and never had a problem. They look well made and have the nice curves like the newer Kubota loaders. I have a B9200 with the factory BF350 loader and...

My front split rim on my B9200 is cracked almost completely around, and the holes are elongated from the prior owner letting the bolts get loose. I had contemplated welding the crack, installing a repair plate, or several other options before contacting my dealer and having him ship out a new...
