Does anyone know (for sure) if the front axle assembly from a B6100DT will interchange with a B7100DT? I haven't had time to open mine up yet, but I have a line on a complete B6100 front assembly that might come in handy for parts. Many of the internal part numbers appear to be the same between...

Don't know if anyone is interested, but this is a great box blade, & a pretty good price with the three point linkage included- but no rippers. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/grd/5170949361.html

Am I correct in assuming that I cannot remove the entire front axle assembly without lifting the engine so the pivot pin can clear the oil pan? My poor little overworked Beastie was nearing the end of my driveway project, using the mighty B219 FEL to move & spread 1" minus cinders when there...

Settle an argument for us. I have a neighbor who insists that all Kubota 4wd front differentials are locked- I say they're open, or they wouldn't steer, they'd tend to pull straight ahead. While I was grading in a ditch & then climbing out on a pretty severe angle, he noticed one front wheel was...

I help my neighbor out with grading, digging tree holes, moving rock, etc., and this weekend he gave me these- apparently he has a nephew who works at a Kubota dealership back east & gets him stuff cheap. It's nice to have good neighbors.:D

After rebuilding my B219 FEL, a little forensic work on the old wiper seals & o-rings revealed that most of the damage was from grit- Arizona is dusty, dusty, dusty. I felt that if I could keep most of the dirt from reaching the seals, their life should be extended noticeably. I found that...

A year ago I picked up a couple of 4" emergency lights (red to rear, amber to front) at a garage sale for a buck. The sockets & gaskets were shot, so I replaced them and, knowing how anemic the dynamo in the B7100 is, installed LED bulbs. I bought an LED rated flasher, fuse holder, and wired...

When I rebuilt the multiple spool valve on my B670, it was fully functional, just leaky. It was caked with dirt & old oil, so I pressure washed the outside, and began disassemble it immediately in case I had gotten any water inside. I disassembled each valve individually, removing o-rings &...

Could someone with a B219 FEL do me a favor & measure the outside diameter of the hydraulic cylinders? I meant to do this myself & it slipped my marginally functional mind until I was about 75 miles from the tractor. DOH! My guess is about 2.375, but I need a more solid figure to research a new...

Any big advantages/disadvantages to using a conex box for storage, possibly even parking the tractor in it? Neighbor has one & loves it, appears to be much more secure than a wooden shed, or even my garage for that matter. He stores his B1750 or his Polaris Ranger in it with no apparent...

Found these on the tube & thought some of you might find them interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eDILeaSz1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkqbRede7H4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGv0Vo9nNiI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVHvBhhvCUs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLz8ps5nzJU...

A recent "spam reported" post got me to thinking- At the risk of calling down the wrath of Spam haters everywhere, anybody got any good recipes for Spam? I like it fried, especially in scrambled eggs, omelets, or even corned beef hash. "I don't always eat processed meat, but when I do, I prefer...

Arizona is the place on the planet to buy tire chains, (at least at estate & garage sales) & I regularly see new or slightly used chains in the $1-$2 per set price range. Apparently everyone who moves here from snow country brings chains with them, and later realizes they will never use them...

I have a possible line on a bush hog that I might be able to score cheap, but I'm not sure what my B7100 will handle. It was used behind a larger (than my B7100) green tractor, and appears to be a 48"-50". Just trying to find out if it's practical before I pursue it farther. I'd appreciate some...

As anyone who owns one knows, the parking brake on the B7100 leaves much to be desired. It consists of a 5/16" rod that lays on the floorboard- push down the brake pedal, lift the rod, release the pedal, & the teeth at the end of the rod hold the brake pedal in the down position. Works OK, but...

I've been looking for an easy way to add a 2" receiver to my Gannon to pull stuff with either a 1" pin or a ball hitch. I ran across this step bumper hitch at Harbor Freight. (pic #1) With sale price & coupon, it was $16. Machined a lot of the large flange away & drilled a couple of 1/2" holes...

While using my Gannon a couple weeks ago, instead of ripping the earth asunder, it did it's imitation of cat scratch fever. I knew the ripper teeth were badly worn, so I broke down & ordered new ones from these folks: http://www.excavationsupply4less.com/category-s/1824.htm I highly recommend...

Seems like years ago PTO shaft caps were common…. now I can't find 'em anywhere. Don't need anything fancy, just a plastic slip-on cap to keep it clean when not in use.

The high country is so dry that this big boy decided to come in for a drink several times over the last week or so. He also brought his little brother a couple times, but we only had the camera handy for this shot. Range, 18 feet, through the screen on the window over the kitchen sink. He drank...

I got this Curtis 60" blade with my tractor, and the previous owner said he had bought it from another B7100 owner, and that it was mounted on the tractor at the time of purchase. He never mounted it on his (now mine) tractor. Imagine my surprise when I tried to mount it and found it did not...
