Not to cut in at all, but if he is not, and it's in running condition, I am.

Heh, there was a time when I considered such things "fun". Sadly, those days are past. Now I just want it to work and get other things done, so now what used to be fun is now called "work" if I'm feeling good, or PIA (or worse most of the time) if not.

I've got the same tractor, same problem. I put mine up on jack stands and repeatedly tried (un)engaging the front drive, each time looking to see if the shaft moved at all, and it did not. So mine is not driving out of the transmission. I first thought it felt like the shaft/yoke was not...

Yeah, you wouldn't find that here, and if you did, the price would be higher. But I don't know if my little beater would drive the hydraulic needs of that. Still, I might be tempted to give it a try, perhaps with an independent PTO driven pump, if it were local. <sigh>

That first one looks similar to my vague idea. Unfortunately we have very little in the way of places to get that stuff here, at least not that I've found yet. No Big R, TSC, or anything else like that out here. Local Kubota (etc) dealer doesn't even stock sub soilers and needs 7 to 10...

I'm ok with that. I rented a largish walk behind Ditch trencher for putting in the several hundred feed of irrigation AND made multiple passes for width to break up the row for the 5 gal oleanders (65 of them) we added as a privacy/noise barrier around the back lot orchard. Renting can be a...

Thanks to all! That's what I was afraid of. Some of the soil isn't too terrible, but in areas ranging from about 6" to 14" down, it frequently turns into full on caliche, and that stuff is no fun with a pick. No idea how difficult to control the depth, or if it's even possible, but the...

I've got a beat up old B7100 that I bought to help with a fixer-upper old horse property in Phoenix (short sale, been let go badly). A lot of what I have to do involves trenching for irrigation lines, planting, and so on. To help with that, I want to use the tractor to break the hard caliche...

Hmm, how to describe... If you look at how the seal works and flexes to keep in contact with the shaft, you'll notice that the "wiper"(?) surface has to expand just a bit over the shaft. There will generally be an be an offset fulcrum in the seal material that sort of allows the lip to flex...

Sorry, I really can't tell enough to be sure.

With that big a change, just like in a car or truck, I think you would just wind up breaking things if you don't upgrade everything together. And in the case of a tractor, I think that basically means buying a tractor that came with a motor in the desired range. D750 to D950 is only an...

The seal lip edge on the shaft generally goes toward whatever it is trying to retain.

When it hit the rim, my first thought was that such a thing might exist. I considered myself "looking for one", but didn't see it, so "assumed" I had to pull the tire. I'll take another look, maybe I overlooked it. But it should have been pretty obvious unless it was just blocked from my...

Or just hook it low (draw bar pin) and pull the "right" way. ;)

Seems to me there are 2 main problems with pulling backwards. First, you have far less traction. Partly due to directional tires (hmm, maybe that's why my 7100D came with the tires backwards? ;) ), and if 4x4 or hooked too high, partly due to unloading of the main rear tires. The second is...

After all was said and done, it cost me $220. That's with tax, shipping and handling on top of the $148 parts cost. Came strapped on a pallet including a bag with seat belt and upgraded fasteners and shims. Installation was easy. You remove the lower 3 point links, remove one tire to get...

The main issue is lack of synchros, but yeah, you don't row through the gears on a tractor, though you can shift (within the same range) rolling if you finesse it. However, I thought his question was about feathering the clutch like you often do on a motorcycle (modulated against the brake...

Thanks. Someone gave me their number last week, but no luck.

It's not really a tractor or Kubota question. As you already suggested, it's really wet vs dry clutch. Most/many are dry clutch, so you drive them more like a car, or maybe more accurate to say like an old truck. :D If you have a wet clutch, then most still drive them about the same, but you...

I'm not one to "restore" a working tool like this tractor. In fact, I like it a bit rough so I don't worry about scraps and dents, it happens. But the previous owner dumped a load of large rock over the back of the bucket while lifting high, and it caved in the front of the hood, destroying...
