My 2150 came with a sub-frame mounted hoe, and IT was broken. There are 2 3/4" thick pieces of carbon steel "feet" attaching the bottom of the sub-frame to the rear trans axle housing. Both were broken, fractured like cast iron! And the right side "wing" with the top/bottom hooks was bent a...

To some extent, I feel your pain. I didn't do it myself, but the PO of my 7100 dumped a scoop full of largish rocks over the back of the bucket onto the front of the hood. I thought that with the popularity and high production numbers of the 7100, finding a faded and rough but "decent" (to...

Not much help, and I'm no expert (quite the opposite really), but I thought the glow plugs were recessed up in the head on these? If so, perhaps relatively minor variations in length can be accommodated without a problem. And the previous plugs may be acceptable (or marginal?) substitutes for...

Good luck with that... :p I completely understand. My 2150 came with truck ATs on the back. About the right size, and I originally thought (assumed) they were just turf tires, which is what the owner said. I actually wanted R4s, but was completely floored by the cost of those back tires (and...

Absolutely. Could get real interesting when he engages the diff lock (and needs it) in loose ground... Might be almost like using the individual brakes as turning brakes, but your trying to go straight...

I believe the backs are different, but the fronts are the same. Or is that what you meant? In any case, it looks great. It is about the same vintage and original condition as my B2150, but while I like the look, I'm far too lazy to do that much work to something (and too cheap to spend the...

I'm new to Kubota and certainly don't know anything about your tractor. But back in the early 90s I had a worn old 50ish Ferguson used hard for decades (with very little PM) before I got it. It was about the size of an 8N, probably 20 HP when it was new, and it ran a 12" auger in Alabama Red...

That left picture just above your post shows it about as well as anything can. And removing the PTO shield gives you the dimensions for the replacement bracket, just have to basically remake it out of 1/2" plate.

Sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on it. Not doing it to a good running tractor (that you need and use) along with having all the extra parts (particularly the 2150 stuff rated for about that) would also eliminate most of my concern. At that point, if you have the time and energy (I...

You may be confusing FEL with BEL...

And going from 16 HP to 26, I'm betting on more broken parts too. The first time it hooks up and the (somewhat) improvable object meets the (relatively) unstoppable force (of 26 HP and the torque that goes along with it), I expect things are going to get expensive right away. Kubota seems to...

These are what I just put on my 2150. Too soon to know anything about them, but they seem like a good deal for the money, and haven't broken yet (though I've not used it hard either).

A clamp on receiver for the FEL would be my choice, and what I plan to make (when the temps drop a more into double digits). I've seen them permanently added, but it seems to me that would interfere with other common bucket operations, though probably not as much as I imagine. Using the FEL...

I have no idea on the Kubota pumps, it depends on the pump. Often it's just an adjustment screw somewhat like setting idle mixture on a carburetor. Where to find it, how to adjust, and how sensitive it is will vary. Sometimes it's more complicated, particularly if you want/need to change the...

Yes, I was following along on that. And my D750 has some blow-by, so I was casually looking for a D950. Then I bought the B2150 with 4 cylinder 24 HP motor (no idea the designation), partly/mostly for the backhoe, and the point became moot.

Sorry, yet again I learn the lesson of not posting late at night when I can't sleep and take stupid (pain) pills... "Lean" on a diesel basically just makes less power and slows it down. Up to the point it runs out of oxygen, it burns almost completely. Over fueling is putting more fuel in...

Actually, over fueling without a turbo is just wasting fuel and actually cools the motor. Running lean will overheat it. Now over fueling WITH a turbo, that's another matter and where you start getting into pyro's monitoring EGTs, though things like larger free flowing exhaust and propane...

Agreed. Normally it would be very obvious what it is and how it works. But the cab floor hides the mechanism.

Reaching in where things are tight. Like moving a Porter Cable G8 under my awning that didn't have vertical height for the FEL. Reaching into a truck with camper shell to lift out a T400/203 trans and transfer combo. Basically anything where the FEL bucket is too wide, or needs too much head...

Sorry, but I wouldn't use WD-40. Better to use some sort of penetrating oil, or just light machine oil. WD-40 dries and leaves a gummy film behind, and while it may help short term due to the solvents in WD-40, once it dries, unless it just flushes out a much worse gum/debris accumulation, you...
