    b7100 tactor with loader

    Not sure about Union OR, but here I think he would likely generate at least a little interest at that price. Lots of the locals (retirees?) with an acre or more seem to like them like that. I hear them referred to as "estate tractors", and they don't mind spending money as long as it's shiny.

    CaveCreekRay-R U Alright?

    In this city (Phoenix metro) I never ride without protective gear. There are 2 kinds of riders, those who have been down, and those who will. Well, the third kind that buy a bike and never actually ride. I have been down, more than once, and the drivers in this city are some of the most...

    CaveCreekRay-R U Alright?

    But it's a "dry heat". :rolleyes: And the winters are brutal. We're having a major winter storm right now. Drizzling rain for 2 days and high temps that aren't quite making it into the 70s. I hear they are considering declaring a state of emergency due to the severe winter weather we are having.

    3 point lift

    Sorry to hear of your troubles, I can relate. I bought a faded old B2150D that seemed to need a little TLC, that turned into major headaches in pretty much every system except for the 3 point (thankfully, I have position control). But some of the Kubota parts are just staggering at the cost...

    Lift arms

    When you removed the loader, did you reconnect the flex line back to reroute the hydraulics? Assuming it works that way (open system) on the L4350...

    L3830 Rops Bolts

    I've run into this on several things. Kubota likes to use non-standard tread pitches. In one case (my ROPS mount) I found that the local bolt store stocked what I needed only in SHCS, so I converted. In a more recent experience, I had to buy bolts in 2 packs of 10 from Kubota to fit the...

    Anyone lost a child before their time.

    Words cannot begin to suffice. So sorry for your loss. While most of us are proud of our son's, it is clear yours stood far above most. Though he is gone now, it sounds like he lived his life to the fullest, and he made a difference. Cherish the memories, allow yourself to grieve, and in...

    Meanwhile in Boston

    The idiots reached in and let someone pour full of concrete, then let it harden. Other idiots took them and barrels to the road and dropped them off. They were protesting the supposed racist "police brutality" and "police killing poor unarmed blacks". I believe they specifically sited the...

    Meanwhile in Boston

    Easy solution. Wrap a choke chain around the barrel, lift with wrecker, take it to the nearest off ramp. Attached morons can either walk (if they can keep up) or be dragged. Then leave the idiots on the road side to extricate themselves however they may.

    I named our B6000.....

    With all the problems I've had with mine, the names I call it don't bear repeating in public...

    B7100 loader (B1630C) issue

    Aint that the truth! Everything orange must be made of platinum or something pricier. I was looking at the seal kit for my lift cylinders that are weeping too much to tolerate, and had a casual thought to just getting kits for the whole thing while I'm at it. Just a bunch of O-rings and a few...

    5740 differential repair

    5740 is a big fella, and I don't know specifics of it, but that's going to depend on what "out of it" means. It's likely similar to most other such things in that there will be several splined couplers along a shaft driving the front axle pinion. Seems like those splines are often the problem...

    Gear boxes

    I expect that's the same as my B7100, which takes standard hydraulic oil in the main case. That provides the fluid for the main transmission, and the 3 point lift. May also be used for FEL, though some (like mine) have a separate reservoir and pump. If it's 4 wheel drive, it also has a...

    Spell Check

    I agree with all said. I'm not much help here, but on other forums I provide varying amounts of assistance as I am able and feel qualified. As has been said, I'm not putting more effort into reading a post for help than the person who posted it. I'm not talking about an odd fumble fingered...

    Rebuilding boom cylinders on LA300

    Thanks, just what I needed to know. One other thing. Any gotcha's on the project I should be aware of? Anything more than the standard "pay attention to where and how things go back together, keep it clean, and make sure the seals are installed properly and not torn"? Hopefully there will be...

    Fixing a beat up LA300 bucket

    The bucket on the LA300 looks decidedly light duty. The PO obviously used the chains over the top of the bucket as a lifting device, and you can see that the bucket lip wasn't up to the duty. It's got some pretty big bends up there across from the boom just where chains would likely lay...

    Rebuilding boom cylinders on LA300

    Where would a person find specs on and possible rebuild kits for Kubota LA300 hydraulic cylinders. The 2 main cylinders are inverted (shaft on the bottom), so with leaking O-rings (I assume), they weep till they empty when setting unused. Looking at the manual, it seems I need at a minimum the...

    Quick hitch question

    Seems to me that for many implements, the biggest job is in implementing some sort of a stand more than making it fit the hitch spacing. One of my most hated tasks is trying to get the auger mounted. Likewise for booms, sub-soiler, or anything that doesn't just sit there nice and convenient...

    L235 Live Clutch?

    Ah, I get it. I thought it unlikely, but that perhaps some worked in the reverse so you could stop the implement while you repositioned the tractor. Thanks.

    Newbie here needs advice between a L185DT & B2150

    Simplicity is the main thing I miss having the B2150. Last tractor I had was a late 50s Ferguson a fair bit bigger than the B2150. I don't know if they all do, but my B2150 has the positional 3 point. Hard to beat that smooth direct 3 point control. It also has over-running clutch on the...
