    1630 Loader on B7200

    Jay, sounds like you need to replace the packing in the cylinders. I'm not familiar with your loader. If it is a Kubota, you can get the packing from your dealer. They're expensive, but good quality. Just be careful and don't nick the o-rings. Good Luck!

    Digging the pond

    Good job - nice pile of dirt. I might add to your list is not to back up a hill w/ a load on the FEL, tractor in FWD, and no counter-weight on the back. Your Kubota quickly tries to do a handstand.

    Weights

    I agree - I wanted a set of forks to mount on my FEL really bad. I finally went to Clark Forklift dealer & bought a scrapped set w/ the carrier and reconfigured it to fit my tractor. Man, have they been handy!

    L35 Both Implements not working

    Is your transmission case (hydraulic reservoir) full of oil? I was using the backhoe on my L35 and blew a hose and didn't realize it had happend. Pumped most of the oil overboard and then the hydraulics got crazy. Replaced the hose, refilled it w/ Wal Mart fluid (big mistake) and it went to...

    My latest Project

    Great Job! My guess is that you have a stuck clutch. But I'm going to defer to the folks that know more about your B7200. Again - fantastic rebuild!

    greetings, new here.

    pat, before you try to turn the engine over, take out the glow plugs in case water got in the exhaust and ran into top of the pistons. I'd also advise turning or trying to turn the engine over by hand first. If there is water in the cylinder, it will come out the glow plug holes. If you don't...

    Help with hose chafing on L35/BT900

    gobeavs16, I'll pray for you! You're gonna need it. I replaced all the hoses on my BT900 backhoe using the same sizes that were on it originally. And it is a tight fit! But it did go back together. I had more trouble getting the other end of the boom cylinder back than I did on the end you...

    Hello everyone!

    My L35 FEL will pick up more than the rear will hold down without the backhoe on, even with the rear tires filled with water/antifreeze. So I built a 3 pt. counterweight using a 55 gal. drum and filled it with concrete. I use a quick hitch on the 3 pt. and it hooks up the counterweight pretty...

    what diesel additives do you use?

    I, like everyone else, has been watching this thread. I think the bottom line is that NO-ONE trusts the EPA and feels like I do in that we got screwed when sulfur was essentially removed from diesel fuel. We have to pay for the increased cost of the fuel (removing the sulfur) and we believe...

    Head Lights

    I have used a couple of different kits - bought from Auto Zone & O'Rielleys. I liked the 3M kit the best. I would guess the kits are available in most auto parts stores.

    WANTED: turf tires and wheels

    The rears are Firestone, 21.5L -16.1 mounted on 18" rims (I think means 18" wide) and the fronts are Goodyear, 29 x 12.5 -15 NHS. The 3rd rear tire is old, worn, and weather cracked. Yes, the fronts are about 50% at best. (note, there are 5 tires and 5 rims) I'll check to see if they have a...

    WANTED: turf tires and wheels

    I have a complete set of turf tires with wheels (3 rears & 2 fronts) that came off a Kubota L4150 4wd. The rears are 8 lug and the fronts are 6 lug. They will also fit a JD. I mounted them on my neighbor's JD just to see if they'd fit. A couple of years ago, I priced them from the Kubota...

    M4000 Valve Cover Gasket help

    Andy, welcome to OTT. Before you rip off that valve cover, check to see if the vent from the valve cover to the atmosphere isn't clogged. I had a L4150 that started leaking oil out of the valve cover. Turned out the vent was clogged by a mud-daubber. Cleaned it out and the leaking stopped...

    K348-7 Finish Mower

    MahalKo, I'm not familiar with your mower either. I have a Bush-Hog brand mower with 3 blades also and is spun by 2 belts. I had to replace both belts last year as the mower was about 16 years old at the time. This mower does not use a spring tensioner. You tighten the belts by loosening the...

    Tips on operating grading scraper

    Marty, Sorry for taking so long to reply. My blades are 3/4" below the bottom of the skids. I finally got to grade my road a week ago. It took me a while to get the pics downloaded and resized. But here they are. The first one shows what the road looked like before and the last two are of...

    PTO welder

    Looks like it would work. I've not seen one like that before. When was the last time the guy used it? Did you get the pulley that goes on the pto? I do some shade-tree welding and that machine looks like it would be all kinds of handy! If it was mine, I'd probably rework it to hook up on a...
