I adapted/rebuilt one of these to fit on my B5100. Only non-obvious part is making sure you have enough clearance for the front wheels at full articulation and turn. Tacking things together on the tractor is of course the way to get things to line up correctly. If you have access to a small...

A common treatment for raw wood in wooden boats is multiple coats of boiled linseed oil, turps and some pine tar w/ a splash of varnish or japan drier to help the linseed oil polymerize. This also helps keep steel hardware from rusting. Trailers probably don't deserve true turpentine; I'd...

I've adapted a B219 to my B5100 tractor and made the subframe, picking up the holes in the rear, center and on the engine. Tire clearance can be an issue, so watch that at full articulation and steer angles. The B5100 has a rated load capacity with the intended loader of 300 lbs; I've maxed out...

The mini one-wire alternators from Chevy Sprints and the like are indeed very simple to install and wire; I've used them w/o issues on various project vehicles. I'd have one on my B5100 but there's no room for it under the hood afaict. I'd definite consider the 50A ratings as "will not...

Here's a link to the article I posted when I adapted a B219 FEL to my B5100 tractor. This might helps w/ some of your design issues. Missing link fixed: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b211-loader-subframe-pics-or-description-wanted.17797/#post-140923

Our ten acre of forest are quite dense and even with our tiny B5100, it can be difficult to get the logs out. I found the most time efficient means of handling trees was to cut them in 12'-20' lengths and drag the logs clear of the trees in low gear with a chain attached to a 10K ring bolted to...

This is how mine was... as I added the loader to this tractor, the original position made sense in that it directed the exhaust away from the operator. Of course, it rusted solid in that position over the years.

This is just like my B5100's dynamo - the regulator (behind the dashboard) rectifies the three phase AC waveform to DC, and 'wastes' whatever isn't needed to ground - hence the heat sinks I replaced mine last year and enjoy having the tractor keep itself charged. Some dirt bikes w/o batteries...

Yup... that would look better, esp. close up. Some flat black paint to match the radiator grille would help as well. I considered hanging the lights off the plate, but that would involve fasteners showing on the top of the hood, which seems worse to me. Another approach would be a large L'...

I got tired of the exhaust hitting my loader, and the smell of diesel exhaust, so I rotated the muffler to the vertical position as described in the owner's manual. The original (shiny and chrome!) exhaust tip was rusted fast to the muffer, so I carefully cut it off w/ a hacksaw just above the...

Sure... Here's a view w/ the hood tipped down, so you can see the loader pump. The lights are bolted to a 11.75" long x 1.5" wide piece of 1/4" aluminum plate, which is in turn bolted to the edge of the radiator hood opening. I was concerned it might be too flexible, but it's nice and stiff...

Hi Dave - I checked the wiring diagram when I replaced the regulator last year. The lights clearly work on DC - and they work w/ the tractor off (and the switch on, of course), so they're running on DC from the battery. The owner's manual has the wiring diagram; here's a link...

The B5100 through B7100 all had 4 on 4" bolt circles in front, and rear wheels are all 6 on 6 circles. - Bart

The headlights on my B5100 were broken/not working when I got the tractor a few years back. I finally replaced them with 3.5" LED work lights from Amazon, mounted on a piece of 1/4" aluminum 1.5" x 11.75", which I fastened to the hood just about the radiator (see second photo).. These lights...

There are two sets of wheel sizes - one for the turf tires, and one for the ag tires. The tire dimensions are here: https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/7/1271-kubota-b7100-dimensions.html The rims size for turf tires would be 8x6 in the front, and rear 15x10 afaict.

Here's what I did to mount and drive a FEL (from a B7100 I think) on my B5100. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b211-loader-subframe-pics-or-description-wanted.17797/

That's correct - the engine produces 12 hp at 3000 rpm on the B5100.

Hi Folks - I've got some 20" x 12'+ cedar logs to move up on Lopez Island, WA where our B5100 lives... and I want to mill up some nice benches for the garden w/ a chainsaw mill, so time for a log arch build. I'd gathered most of the materials before our shelter in place order happened; all I...

A few things that help: 1. If you need reading glasses, wear them. Progressives lenses don't work very well at all because moving your head to see with the right part of the lens is a PITA. If you're welding stick, use a fan to blow the fumes away. 2. Rig a cheap halogen worklight to add...
