    Plz Help...Hydrolic fluid Q

    Go to kubotabooks.com and look for the manuals (operator, service, etc) for his tractor. Download them and email to him. Problem solved. You can use a universal hydraulic/transmission fluid but if it is a hydrostatic unit I would go with Kubota UDT or SUDT2.

    B7100 HST transmission fluid

    I say don't skimp on fluids, go with kubota UDT or SUDT2. I believe it only takes about 4 gallons, savings would be minimal. 5 gallons of UDT will run you under a hundred dollars. Hydrostatic transmissions can be picky when it comes to fluid.

    B9200

    Kubota is your best bet. They are not too incredibly expensive. I just picked one up from messicks and I think it was about 70 dollars. The used ones that came up were usually shot. The headlight bezel is another story it costs a pretty penny. Nate

    HST pedal adjustment

    I was able to download the manual. What I am having issue with is more power/ top end in reverse than in forward. I am going to work on it a bit tomorrow.

    HST pedal adjustment

    What are the symptoms of a HST pedal that is out of adjustment? Is it just "over run" when the tractor should be returning to neutral?

    3pt rake question

    Looking for a rake for my B series. I want to be able to use it for leaf and tree bark clean up. I don't need something that really digs into the soil a few inches, just something that profiles the surface. Any ideas? Would my best bet be a landscape rake with gauge wheels? Maybe just fabricate...

    B7200 HSTD Part Numbers

    Where can you get the part numbers for the HST? I am looking for the PNs for the Forward and Reverse HST check valves. I have the downloaded the PNs from kubotabooks.com but the HST section has very little information. Messicks PN downloads have the same info. Anyone have the PNs?

    Who rebuilds HSTs?

    If I am not mistaken kubota makes their own hydros. The charge pump might be a standard brand but the hst design is their own. On the viscosity improver, how much do you add? Will this harm seals?

    Who rebuilds HSTs?

    I cut open the old filter yesterday and it was clean inside. I think I will pull the front cooler off and look to see if there is any garbage in it. I like the idea of a viscosity improver. I live in San Diego so thicker fluid will not be an issue. BTW it's 80 degrees this weekend. Thanks for...

    Who rebuilds HSTs?

    I did change the fluids. I cleaned both screens, the hydro screen was pretty nasty, i cleaned the screen but even when the screen was cleaned you could not see through the wire mesh very easily. If i held it up to the light it made it easier to see. I changed the filter too. I used Super...

    Who rebuilds HSTs?

    Good discussion, I agree that preventative maintenance is the best medicine. I just bought this tractor from a fellow on CL for $2800 which included a FEL and 4' rollover box blade. I have been going through it a fixing what needs fixing. I have cleaned it up, fixed hydraulic leaks, added a...
