    B670 backhoe boom cylinder

    Darned if I didn't do it again - working in a cramped space and backed into a tree in low range. You'd think I had time to watch but I had to watch the bucket and trench. But popped the yoke off again again.... Its time for a new cylinder. I looked up the part: 70050-00003 But my GOSH! $850 to...

    B670 backhoe boom cylinder

    And here is post 6. Just to be safe I always try to exceed minimum requirements. It almost always works except when the wife is involved. So here is the picture. Yeah, I slipped with the hand grinder and hit the hard chrome but it's still above the seal when retracted:

It looked like it had been welded before and whoever attempted the repair, they didn't get much penetration. Anyway, I have...

    B7100D (1981) Xmission growl, 2nd gear

    Thank you, sir, for the reply. Yes, reverse is growling but not like 2nd gear. And no problem or concern with PTO operation which I use a lot. So this will definitely be a winter time project. I hope I can coax it thru the work season.... And frankly, I should probably freshen up the...

    B7100D (1981) Xmission growl, 2nd gear

    Hi folks - my 1st post here: I've had the above referenced Kubota for many years. The hour meter was broken when I bought it so I have no idea how many hours are on it but its a bunch. I've been dreading the day but it has happened. The unit has always growled quite noisily in 2nd gear and...
