    Ran out of fuel

    I guess experience counts for something. I spent enough time with old diesels, case, international, and such and run out of fuel enough times. And dicked around getting them started again. I don't run out of fuel often now (experience). But when I do I shut the tractor off before the engine...

    If you own a gun!

    In Canada we have strict gun laws. But if you have not been convicted of a crime involving violence, and you get the right training as to handling and using safely, then you have no problem buying a gun or guns. Hand guns are treated differently than long guns. Much much stricter rules as far as...

    Kubota FEL question

    Hi Tiger. I had a 1640a on my B7200 and put it on my B8200. It took a bit of fabrication but it works well. The frame on the 8200 was different than the 7200. If you are up for a little fab work then the frame mounting is no big deal. If you are not then you are right in making sure they will...

    Old Kubota orange paint

    Hi Ds, I have found close matches at Canadian tire and at Home hardware but they don't stock a whole lot of it, usually just a can or two. I have used the Kubota paint and have had no luck with the shaker cans, they say you have to shake them well for them to work properly. I shook the Sh((((t...

    B6100 R2 Paddy/Cane Tires

    My B8200 came with rice tires on the back. The first thing I did too the tractor was replace rear rims and tires r4 tires and rims to fit. I am not sure if you can buy them new. But I am betting that there are lots of people who did the same thing I did. Check kijiji and craigslist. You never...

    Tow Vehicle?? What do you tow your Kubota with??

    Hey Eric, ya kitchen window, I don't have many pictures of it. Too busy taking pics of the Kubota. The B8200 came home on the back of that truck. The sides fold down for loading with forks. The back of the box pulls out three feet for longer loads. It is a little bit of a serious truck...

    G1900 to G1900S engine swap

    Hi Moralem. If coolant is getting into the oil you would know. The oil would turn grey brown milky. If you can, do a pressure test on the cooling system. I know not everyone has these tools. But it would put your mind a little more at ease concerning the head gasket. Flush the cooling system and...

    G1900 to G1900S engine swap

    I agree on what handyman said. Bottom line forget the electrical issue for now. Untill you figure out the overheating issue. You will probably end up with two parts machines.:D Dusty

    B7200 Hydraulic pump change out questions

    When I did the pump on my b7200 I pretty much just stuck it in tightened everything up and fired up the tractor at an idle. Just check the dipstick to make sure hydraulic fluid is sitting on the full mark. I don't remember bleeding the system or any other procedures.:D Dusty
