I had always used the 10" bucket on my B670, lots of hard soil & rocks here, but I recently put my 14" bucket on to try it out. I used it to clear the ditch at the end of a culvert, mainly sediment washed in- sand, gravel, clay, & some rocks, all hard packed. It did OK, and the extra capacity...

Gentlemen, in the interest of making future searches easier/quicker, could the title of this thread: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5482 be changed from "Backhoe Rebuild" to "B670 Backhoe Rebuild"? This thread has become sort of a compendium of B670 stuff, and the new...

The stabilizer pads on my B670 have always been woefully inadequate, skating around like Bobby Orr. Passing by a construction site, I spotted these cutoffs from some 12" x 3" x 1/2" channel, and asked about them. After some confusion, (the guy thought I wanted two 21' lengths) he graciously gave...

I posted this in the Backhoe Rebuild thread a while back: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5482&highlight=filter+heat+sink&page=8 post #77 Many years ago, there was a product available at virtually any auto parts store that was essentially a slip-on flexible, finned heat...

Apologies to Arby's. Fronts dirty after some minor work, sorry.

Anybody have any experience with plastic pallets? I am going to need to move some 1 1/2" x 8" x 16" block fence capstones soon & I'm planning on stacking them on a couple pallets & using the forks to move them. I want to keep the load small, (hence two pallets) and I was given a plastic pallet...

Anybody have any contact with Eric McCarthy? I know he got a little upset with the forum/members a while back & hasn't posted since, but I kinda miss the guy's posts, experiences, & outlook on life.

I was looking at the receipts for my tractor repairs & decided to make a list of what I have done to the tractor since I got it. I've been told I'm too much of a perfectionist some times, but never believed it. But maybe. In no particular order: change all fluids. filters, fuel filter bowl new...

I didn't want to hijack the Death of Common sense thread, so I thought I'd start a new one to regale you with a couple of Safety Police (Safety Nazis?) incidents. Background: The research group I worked for needed a small but capable machine shop to do prototyping, fixturing, repair work & the...

HELP! Today, I took my new rear tires & old B7100 rims in to be mounted- after a long time, the manager told me they could not mount the tires on my "oddball" rims. He showed me that the recess on the new tire for the bead to seat is about 3/4"; the lip on the rim is about 1". The bead would not...

Not mine, but someone may find this useful: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PTO-Reverser-for-Compact-Tractor-Satoh-Misubishi-Kubota-/301784561260?hash=item4643c2f66c:g:B-sAAOSw5ZBWNRlQ

Forgive me if this has been covered, but my searches have not revealed the answer to my one question: I realize the ideal ratio is 3%, but what tolerance is acceptable? Is 2% or 4% usable? Is there a standard range such as 1% to 5%? Thanks in advance.

The problem I've had in the past with the site locking up after loading one or two pages is back, but far worse than it was before. After getting on the site (normal) and loading the first page, (normal) the site locks up, requiring multiple reloads, (only works sometimes) forced reloads, or...

My place up north has always had a little water across the driveway when it rains heavily, but the county has recently re-graded the roadbeds, ditches, & culverts. We used to get runoff from a couple blocks, now it's more like 1 1/2 miles. A 16" county culvert brings all this water across my...

I was going to start a new thread about my driveway project and realized there was no obvious place to put it. In the "Tractor Operating" section? I realize I could post it in the "Service, Repair, & Maintenance" section under "What did you do to or on your Kubota today?", but that thread is...

While checking settings & adjustments on my front axle, I found the "roll angle" bolts set about 1/8" shorter than the book says. I promptly twisted off a 12mm x 1.75 stop bolt in an attempt to re-adjust it. It left about a 3/8" stub, so I tried vise grips, (no way) then about 16hrs of Phabulous...

I'm looking for the "Bonnet Stay" for a B7100. It's the brace that runs across the front of the hood, down low below the grille, attaches with (4) bolts from the front. If you've got one laying around that you want to get rid of, shoot me a PM. Thanks.

While trying to find all the parts/seals/gaskets to rebuild my front axle, I shopped around and found these interesting variations. Coleman Equipment- $550 shipped to me, complete parts, seals, gaskets, shipping. Local Kubota dealer- $832 (10 dealerships in the state, all owned by the same...

I think I found out why my left front wheel locked up.
