Finished the hitch..here it is

Thanks steve appreciate the help.

From the response I got I'm guessing the amount of owners of b5100's is quite small.Could I ask any owners of a b6100 or b7100 to have a look and see what they are using as a battery,make /model etc.if they could measure the dimensions it would be a real help too.would love to try get this old...

Check out vics article on hydraulic screens.. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/2009/10/hydraulic-filter-suction-screens-everything-you-wanted-to-know/ It should be on the suction line bolt.

Wildfire,you do some class work.Just a question on the bending tool you made.Each one has what looks like a guide bar on the front tray held down by 2 allen keys.Are these exactly that, guides to feed in the material square?Great thread .Would love to see some more neat tools and jigs.As a side...

Wow what a read,Stumpy,lovely work so far.Such a detailed thread.Great to see how positive you stayed through all those obsticles.Cant wait to see how it finishes out.

Thanks for that website Carl,I'll definitely have a look at it later tonight,s/steel not that cheap but I do pick up alot of offcuts in the steel merchants that have a nice discount and the fact i'm making the parts myself I can justify the costs.My poor kubota is stored outside so this is...

About 7 man hours so far ,really hard to see where all the time went ,drilling that stainless is a real pain....waiting on getting to a lathe to make bushings.Ill have to tack it all together in situ cos this baby is going to warp and pull with all the heat.

As I put that new cover on I saw that rear toe hitch is looking in real bad shape.Didnt think it would take as long to get to here but have a look at progress so far

Another bite of the orange elephant project.Rear pto cover

Well the 5.5mm ball bearings arrived in the post yesterday so I assembled everything today and after a little bit of time trying to get all those balls into the worm gear its all together and working.I slacked off the the screw for taking out the slack on the gears and I can turn the shaft by...

Thanks guys,yeah its in pretty bad shape alright.But when you get those encouraging comments it helps to knuckle down and do some more.I started this project last october,having never restored anything before I have been tackling the small bits to redo first.My confidence and will to get this...

Hi folks, I want to try start my b5100, its sitting idle about 2yrs.I'm looking for a new battery as the tractor came without one.I have read vic's excellent article on battery 101.My problem is that the space on my battery tray is quite small (140*190*200)and to get a battery with 850 cca that...

Not sure will it work, but this is my attempt of a new seat.I found it in a skip.It was one of those telescoping self raising office seats.I chopped the shaft on that and fabbed a bracket to take this and to bolt onto the tractor.

somemore pics..I started on a new dash ....its not quite finished yet.

My poor kubota has sat on a wet damp west cork Island in Ireland for 25 years before my uncle handed me the keys.There is not much left that hasnt rotted passed repair,but I am going to ensure it never rusts again.Where I can I'm going to replace parts with stainless steel.Why? ...I dont know...

I measured those hubs today, the pcd is 120mm and 60mm between the centers of the 6 holes.Ill check the net to see if there is something out there I can use.

Tnx Dave,You got a great deal there. Unfortunetly the carriage from the USA to Ireland takes all of the saving out of it.

Thanks for the tips matt ill try that...I had nothing to loose before i started as before i started out the shaft had a very slight deflection in it.This was caused from the disintegration of the bottom bearing.you can see in the photo of the main body that the steering rod had actually started...

Thanks for the reply hodge,I think I might go that way,the other 2 options I was thinking of are 1.if I could find a wheel thats center hole was bigger than my kubota's hub.I could weld in a solid disc into it and drill holes to pick up my kubota's hub.It probably look alot better than an...
