Re: What did you do to or on your Kubota today? To start a new thread, enter a forum (eg: "Service, Repair & Maintenance" and click on the "New Thread" icon. Most temperature gauges measure the resistance of a sensor on the engine block. The resistance will change with temperature (usually...

I did not know this site had a secure version. I have always visited via regular http (ie: "http://www.orangetractortalks.com"). So I just attempted to access via secure https (ie:"https://www.orangetractortalks.com"), which is the only way a site certificate would be requested. With Firefox...

I'm trying to figure out the hydraulics in anticipation of adding a FEL. The WSM calls the hydraulic system control type a "closed centre type" under the general specifications. However, the pump seems to be a fixed-displacement gear pump and in the description of the control lever functions...

Do you have a thread documenting the specifics what you did and what you would do differently anywhere?

I'm new here so I just read this thread for the first time this morning, and my first thought was "valve adjustment" -- possibly because the other thread mentioning dealers skipping this step was fresh in my mind. However, the constant in your description is temperature: the problem only...

I am surprised the dealers would offer such advice. I realize that these are not race engines with critical valve timing or anything, but sufficient valve lash ensures the valves fully close when the engine heats up. Aside from any potential power loss, insufficient valve lash leads to burnt...

I'm no Kubota expert, but I do know that foam = oil + air; hydraulic pumps don't like air and will whine about it; and finally, that hydraulic systems can't build pressure when full of air. The first thing I would do is check the level of fluid in the reservoir and top it up if necessary. You...

Friendemy? Does that mean we are on slightly better terms than a frenemy? I'm so confused by this new English. Now I know how my father felt...

Yes, I've seen those but I'm just considering all options at this point. I have a reasonably equipped home metal working shop so making my own is an option. Especially when one considers the dollar difference and the cost of shipping things north!

Has anyone here tried using this fellow's FEL plans? : http://www.pf-engineering.com I'm looking for FEL options for a soon-to-be-mine B7100HST. This design is supposed to have a lift capacity of at least 500 lbs (depending on cylinder size, pressure, etc. up to 3,000 lbs) and can apparently...

While prowling everybody's favourite auction site for the B7100 HST-D WSM service manual I found an offering for the "Factory Service Repair Manual" consisting of "hundreds of pages" of detailed information. I actually prefer PDF manuals as they don't take up as much storage room and I can print...

The purchase price is "family deal" pricing -- it does not reflect current arms length market value. Probably about 1/2 to 1/3 market value. I offered him more, he refused. I will not take possession until mid-August. He needs it to maintain the property until closing. I'll get some pictures...

My uncle is moving to a retirement community, and I have agreed to purchase his one-owner 1994 B7100. It's 4wd and hydrostatic transmission, which I believe makes it a B7100HST-D or B7100HSD? It comes with turf tires, a well-worn front mount blower in need of serious repair, a 2 year old 3ph...
