    MAD Racoons...

    The self defense angle does not always work as can been seen here in this case of extreme over zealousness by the federal authorities, In this case a father shot and killed one of 3 grizzly bears that had entered his yard where his children were playing...

    Yellow break pedals

    Probably the same reason stop signs are red, It makes them stand out, Gets your attention quickly, Why they did not continue the practice is also a good question. Ironically I think most operators once having determined the brake pedal location no longer need the color to help them locate the...

    B6000 oil level

    On my tractor the decal is for the ignition switch, By turning the key to the left it preheats the glow plugs, The switches on my tractor are for headlights and back worklight and have nothing to do with the glow plugs.

    B6000 oil level

    It is likely that it is just the bulb is burnt out(mine was), Pretty easy fix, remove the battery(makes it easier to get to back of dash) and reach in a pull the little rubber boot that holds the bulb, Again if it is like my B5100 there is a little rubber boot that the bulb and socket fits in...

    B6000 oil level

    If your B6000 dash is anything like my B5100 which only has 1 light then it works like this, when you turn the key on the red lamp glows(engine not running and no oil pressure) when you turn the key to the left that same red lamp glows indicating the glow plug circuit is working and the glow...

    Fan belt size

    There may even be a number on the belt which will help you get the correct one, If the belt is missing take a piece of 3/8" rope and wind it around and mark where the ends meet, Then take it off and measure it and you will be in the ball park for the right length.

    Horsepower and operational technique

    Sounds like it is running like it should, Minor variations of up and down in the rpm range like others have stated are not a problem. Seems this has worked out for you but in my opinion I rely more on what the tractor manufacturer states as the limits for my tractor than what the...

    Introduce myself + interested in Kubota B2530

    I was thinking the same thing, I like the idea that they have a very aggressive tread yet maintain a wide flat profile, Lots of sugar sand where I am and the narrow aggressive tires dig big holes and burry themselves. As for the B2530, I am not familiar with that particular model but I have 2 B...

    changing brakes on a kubota b7100

    That's why I go barefoot or wear flip flops most of the summer;) Just kidding ... Has anyone ever had their brake shoes relined , I am about ready to replace the shoes on my B5100E and if they are too expensive then I am going to see if I can get one of the local shops to reline them.

    Replace 1 front Tire

    I am with 300zx on this one, Replacing just one tire on a tractor is no different than replacing just one tire on a car, The important thing is that if the tractor is a DT(4x4) that the tire is the same size(height) as the one you are replacing(matches height of one not replaced also). Tread...

    kubota tiller questions

    I believe you will find that the FS1020 is a 1020mm wide tiller(apx 40.2 inches) From what I can see it appears to have a slip clutch which is a good thing, One of the important things is to make sure it turns in the proper direction for your tractor so you will have to determine the rotation...

    Coolant Problems on L2202DT

    My first thought was insufficient air flow thru the radiator which would explain the heating up at idle and cooling down when the fan was moving at higher speeds. I would check over the radiator to make sure there was no debris in the fins, then check the fan to make sure it was not worn down...

    Starting Problem

    Sounds like it could be a neutral safety switch, If the switch is not physically on the shuttle setup then look for it somewhere along the linkage or possibley even some wiring that goes into the transmission as the switch may be internal.

    Tired L345DT. Any rebuild tips?

    First thing I would do is run a compression check on all cylinders, If they are within specs I would then suspect dirty injectors, You may not need a rebuild and may just need a good cleaning of the fuel system. How many hours are on the clock?

    Motor oil

    I never throw away used oil oil, I use it in my chain saws and line trimmers and outboard motors, I run it thru a filter and use it for both chain oil and to mix with the gas, I know its not the same as the marketed 2 cycle engine oil but I have been doing this since the 1960's, I have gone thru...

    m59 front drive shaft removal

    Depending on how badly your oil pan is ruptured would it be possible to do a temporary patch on the oil pan just so you could get the tractor out of the woods, maybe weld/braze a small patch on it or use some self tapping sheet metal screws and screw a small patch of sheet metal with gasket...

    B1700HST fuel issue?

    Bleeding is often required if the tractor has been run out of fuel, Did you run out of fuel and refill before this phenomenon occured, If so then it is very likely that bleeding will solve your problem. Just one note, In Your posts you refer to fuel as "gas", I am guessing that you are using...
