    B 7000 glow plug indicator

    This is sound advice as long as you do not make the mistake of removing the origional Kubota glow plug indicator. If the origional is bypassed you will get to much voltage to the glow plugs and you will burn them out. The OEM indicator is a resistor to drop the 12 volts from the battery down to...

    BH65 use with Water Ballast in Rear Tires

    I have used balasted plus wheel weights on my B7100 with a Woods BH750 backhoe for many years with no problems. I don't think you will have any problems.

    Just picked up a B2551 3pt snowblower, doesn't throw snow.

    I almost always use 2nd PTO speed with the blower on the back of my B7100. If I am cutting back a snow bank from the plow sometimes I put it in low PTO speed.

    2-stage blower for B7100

    Kubota offered a front mount 2 stage blower for the B7100. It was called Model B-222A Rotary Snow Plow. It was made by McKee Brothers and was the same as their model #220. I have one for my B7100, however before I bought it someone modified it to use on the back with a 3point hitch. The Owners...

    B7100 Hubs

    That is actually not that bad a price. I got mine of that same style from a Kubota dealer 4 or 5 years ago. The price was close to $300 for 2 of them.

    B7100 PTO Speeds

    I often use the 2nd speed of my B7100 pto while using my rear finish mower or my snowblower. I use high speed sometimes when rototilling. However with my backhoe, it is low pto speed and tractor just off idle. I can't imagine how difficult the backhoe would be to operate at a higher pto rpm. It...

    Hyd ram on my B6000 loader

    A seal on a hydraulic cylinder is not hard to replace. You will need to disassemble the cylinder then take all of the parts with you to a hydraulic shop. They will be able to match the seals. Another suggestion would be to simply remove the cylinder from the loader and take it complete to the...

    B6000 is it worth it?

    Mid mount or rear mount mower sure sounds like PTO to me. Be careful of assuming all belt drive equipment can be turned backwards. If it has a spring loaded belt tensioner like my Land Pride RFM and many others trying to turn the mower backwards will not work.

    B6000 is it worth it?

    Keep in mind the reverse rotation of the B6000 power take off. You may have trouble finding attachments.

    Used B7100 advice

    If the transmission has been allowed to run dry the tractor could need major repair. Just because it moves and drives now does not mean that major damage has not happened. There are lots of B7100's out there. This one sounds way over priced for what you are getting. Walk away!!

    B7100 4wd and 2wd ?

    As long as you are not on tar running in 4 wheel drive will not hurt the tractor. Some will tell you that is wears the front gears and bearrings. While this may be true it certenly will not cause as much damage as a crash or roll-over from a runaway tractor on a steep hill.

    changing brakes on a kubota b7100

    Not very hard to change the brakes on a B7100. If I remember correctly. Remove rear wheel. unhook brake rod and spring. Remove brake housing. What I do remember is the shoes were quite expensive!

    Backhoe Hydraulic valve adjustment

    I added flow restrictors to the swing cylinder on my Woods bh750. It smoothed the side to side movement nicely. This is an old machine, I am surprised you would need to do it to a new one.

    I an sure you are correct. However finances dictate using the equipment that I have right now.

    B7100 & Woods finish mower?

    I run a 60" Landpride on my B7100. No problems. Sometimes I need to go a little slow if the grass is really tall. I mow a field behind my house 2 - 3 times a year. Sometimes the grass gets really tall. If it is over 1 foot tall I usually run is low range 2nd gear.

    Would you Load Rear Tires?

    I have the same tractor loader combination as you. I have a woods 750 backhoe. I have all 4 tires loaded with washer fluid and extra cast weights on the wheels. If I remember correctly the ones on the front are 45 lbs and I have 90 lbs on each rear wheel. I would not use the tractor without the...

    auxilary hydraulic pump

    I am pretty sure what Bulldog is talking about is a direct drive situation like you mentioned. That is what the double roller chain is used for on my B7100.

    The service manual for my B7100 with a D750A engine lists 0.15 - 0.19 mm for both intake and exhaust valves set with engine cold. The adjustment for the decompression lever is listed as .8 - 1.1 mm
