    Overrunning clutch for short shaft PTO

    That would be great, or if there are any markings on it to help identify what the ORC is. I will most likely have to order one. I just don't want to purchase the wrong one online and have to return it.

    Overrunning clutch for short shaft PTO

    I checked my PTO last night, trying to rotate it by hand. It does not ratchet in one direction. I can't turn it either way when engaged. I just want to make sure I purchase the correct ORC for it, as it appears there are several different styles available.

    Kubota B6100DT 4WD - Question about noise. Normal? Problem?

    I've just started looking over my new to me B7100. I have noticed when I turn the wheel back and forth, the front axle moves front and back slightly, followed by a clunk. I believe there is an adjustment for this, but I am not positive. I just haven't gotten to the point of crawling under it to...

    Overrunning clutch for short shaft PTO

    Interesting...I was told the early B7100's did not have the ORC on them. I will have to test out your method to verify. I have found a bunch of references on the net talking about needing an ORC for the B7100's, that is why I am inquiring...

    Overrunning clutch for short shaft PTO

    I need an overrunning clutch for my 1977, B7100. It has the short PTO shaft. I think it is about 1.5-2" long (if memory serves me correct), with the groove being in about a half an inch. There is not hole , just a groove. The local Fleet Farm carries these, but they appear to be for a longer PTO...

    Welcome from one rookie to another....:). It sounds like you will be having a bunch of fun. I just purchased an older B7100 a month ago. I am starting to dive into it as well. Enjoy the ride!!

    Marine Body Bearers

    A little off topic but.... I was in Fort Smith many years ago for work. I ended up walking through the National Cemetery during my evening walk. To see all of those white grave stones in rows and the shear size of the cemetery was a very humbling experience. It was one of those things that you...

    3 pt. counterweight for B7100 with FEL

    I am thinking of making a counterweight from a plastic, 55 gallon drum. I don't think I need to use the whole drum, but probably half. The plan is to fill it full of concrete. Has anyone made a counterweight for a B7100? How much weight seems to be ideal for you, if you were hauling dirt in the...

    For those that have added a recovery tank for the cooling system, what did you use for a tank and where did you install it?

    1977, B7100DT with 219 FEL

    Is this just a matter of taking the double row chain apart? If so,I assume there are chain links on both halves? I plan on removing the radiator to do a thorough cleaning. It would probably be a good time to replace the belt at that time. I also noticed last night that my coolant discharge hose...

    1977, B7100DT with 219 FEL

    Thanks everyone for your help and expertise here. I finally got a chance to work on the old girl for a few hours tonight. I got the oil drained and new filter installed. I didn't realize so much was involved with changing the oil filter...lol. As usual, you start one project and discover...

    1977, B7100DT with 219 FEL

    Interesting, I was thinking I had the "screen" that you were referring too. In looking at your pics, I see what you are referring too now. I will have to look into possibly adding it, if it will help. I have only put about 5 minutes on this tractor since I purchased it. I want to do all of the...

    Changing fluid on 219 FEL

    I understand there is a filter or screen in the right subframe or tower where the fluid reservoir resides. Is this located at the bottom of the tower, where the lower hose comes out? I assume one should clean out the tower reservoir as well? What is the best way to do this, before refilling with...

    1977, B7100DT with 219 FEL

    The common theme here seems to be cooling issues and the steering box. I have heard mention of both in my research since I acquired the tractor. Is the steering box a poor design, not adequate for a tractor with a FEL, or is it just a wear item? What should I watch for in this area? Should I be...

    1977, B7100DT with 219 FEL

    Thanks 85! Yes, 4 bolt front wheels and it is a manual tranny. I did some research on the thermosyphon system a few weeks back. It has a grill cover. The fan belt does need to be tightened, which I will do. Thanks for the links to the manuals. I will see if there are any there that I don't...

    1977, B7100DT with 219 FEL

    Hello Everyone, My first post. I am finally the proud owner of a Kubota. It is going to replace my 1971 Case 444. It will be used mostly for work on our hunting land. I purchased this about a month ago. It is sitting in my garage right now. I plan on doing some maintenance once it warms up a...
