    Switching From Turf To Industrial Tires

    For a heads up..... I just picked up some new turf tires for my b7100. This is my first tractor so I never had to get tractor tires replaced. Took them down to a kubota dealer to get them switched out and the rears filled with rim guard. I called them before stopping by but I never...

    B219 hydraulic pump failed. Need help!

    I'm curious as well, never have seen anything like that... I'm guessing the double chain acts as a coupling?

    Mower Deck Washing System And Mulching Blades

    You Make a good point, nothing will do better than spraying with water and scrubbing with a brush. I've come to the conclusion of using either a low profile lawn sprinkler or an electric pressure washer with a long wand and an offset sprayer end. It just doesn't make any sense to me to drill...

    Oil Pressure Light Came On!!! pics

    I hear ya there, it was just a suggestion to help clean the upper half and lower half of the engine of gunk and buildup including the oil/fuel pump. Will it fix a head gasket, I think not.... :D

    water in diesel fuel - M5400DT

    You may want to look closer into where you get your fuel from. We have a local station that was getting water into their underground diesel tank after heavy rain. I'm sure they are not the only station that it's ever happened to. It caused all kinds of havoc on a friend's trucks and Equipment...

    B219 hydraulic pump failed. Need help!

    You should post some pictures of what the setup looks like so the pros on here can see what your working with. I'm not :D But I would love to see how the pump is driven. Is it a straight shaft to the pump shaft? Is it driven by two pulleys and a belt? Is there an electric clutch? I'm just...

    Oil Pressure Light Came On!!! pics

    You may even want to try adding some Marvel's Mystery Oil to the oil. You just substitute an X amount (what ever the back of the bottle says) within the oil and run it for a while Like 85hookie said and it will clean that puppy right up. I use it for a lot of different applications and it...

    Mower Deck Washing System And Mulching Blades

    Well I think I have figured out what my pops was talking about for a mulching kit. It is a set of baffles installed in the deck separating each blade. I'm guessing you also need to use a gator style blade with this system? Does anyone use something use something like this on their tractor...

    Mower Deck Washing System And Mulching Blades

    Now that is a really good idea and I wouldn't call that lazy! My thought on it is that the more water at different angles the better. I have a bunch of different angle nozzles that I could put to use. To achieve even flow to the sprayers they need to be piped in a circular series instead of...

    Mower Deck Washing System And Mulching Blades

    He cleans his deck with a hose and a scrub brush after every use and applies silicone to keep the grass from sticking. Seeing it's a straight stream of water I'll build my own setup. I have too many fittings kicking around to spend $20 a pop on something as simple as that. Thanks for your...

    Mower Deck Washing System And Mulching Blades

    Darren, That's a good find! I never think of Amazon.... I'm curious if there is a defector of some sort on the outlet to create a wider spray pattern, I'm picturing something like a fire sprinkler head on a small scale.... That seems like a simple concept except I think it will need 3...

    Mower Deck Washing System And Mulching Blades

    Good Evening Everyone, I'm looking for some information on a deck wasing system that is supposedly installed into the deck that hooks up to a garden hose and washes the mowing deck. Does anyone have one of these installed? If so I would love to see some pictures of the setup. I'm picturing a...

    B7100 Plow

    I think that's a good price for it as long as it's not rotted anywhere. I've seen a few pop up on Craigslist around my area the past 6 months upwards of $1000 and they didn't last long. Don't forget they don't make these attachments anymore as well as any parts (except hydraulic repair kits)...

    B7100D Hydraulic Problems and then some...

    Good to know Wolfman, I had no idea :rolleyes:. I'll get some chains on the rear ASAP, I have to order a new set. The rear chains that came with the tractor are shot and missing cross links, I have no idea how the other owner even had them installed. So should I take the chains off the...

    How do you get a 2wd to go in the snow?

    If you get your driveway coated every year I don't see the big deal of some scratches in it but I completely understand not wanting to scratch it. I know where your coming from with the ice like feel of the seal coat. A neighbor next to my folks has a steep driveway and they get it coated...

    B7100D Hydraulic Problems and then some...

    Sam, I did try that the other night when it was snowing. The chute kept getting clogged up and it would just bog the motor right down. It was really heavy and slushy and all of my neighbors were having that problem with their regular blowers. I only used 1st gear in the PTO yesterday when I...

    B7100D Hydraulic Problems and then some...

    Today I adjusted the snowblower and brought it 2" closer to the tractor. Had to cut down the PTO shaft, but it made a big difference. The tractor can lift the blower now even with snow built up in it. :D I hit the inside of the chute with a sanding block and smoothed it out. Sprayed it...

    B7100D Hydraulic Problems and then some...

    Kubotasam, your absolutely right. When I first bought the blower it was originally used on a BX. The blower itself is adjustable between the 3 point mount and the blower itself. When I got it home I squeezed the blower in 4" and greased up the two lower receiver arms in case I had to adjust...

    Thanks Wolfman, I'll see if I can pick up a gauge tomorrow I don't have one that can read that high of a PSI. Where would be the best place to Take a reading? I'm thinking the easiest place will be at the hydraulic block that feeds my spools if I disconnect the lines to and from the spool and...

    Just went out and tried it again and I got it to throw some snow for a few minutes but the chute clogged right up again. And man when it clogs up it is packed all the way in there! Wolfman, the 3 point drops really quick. I did adjust the bolt under the seat this summer to slow down the...
