    B7500 PTO "rackety clackety" on disengagement?

    Thanks for the responses, folks. I have just been using it and my new standard procedure is just push in the clutch, let the brush hog come to a stop, then shift into neutral PTO and release the clutch. I have a tiller that I just got that I can hook up and see if it has the same problem. That's...

    B7500 PTO "rackety clackety" on disengagement?

    Hi - it's hydro. What is an over running clutch? I don't think it's the blades making the noise. You can feel the grinding/clacking through the PTO shift lever and the only thing that will stop the noise is to keep the clutch in until it spins down to a stop.

    B7500 PTO "rackety clackety" on disengagement?

    I just picked up this tractor a couple months ago. I was brush hogging with it and when I try to disengage the PTO, I push in the clutch, and would expect that I put the PTO lever in neutral, then release the clutch and the implement should spin down and stop. When I do this, if I release the...

    Little attachments for my little kubota

    I am pretty new here, just got my first tractor in late May B7500. I have be 4en going over the tractor itself fixing a bunch of stuff and mostly read here. I did quite a bit of research on some things to put the tractor to work on my 20 acre spot and with a good deal of patience, managed to...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    The trigger side of the relay is protected by the original circuit 30A slow blow. The hot side is protected by the relay itself. At least that's what I think....hmm. I did think of putting a fuse in there, probably a good idea, but I think if the hot side shorts out between battery and relay -...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    FIXED! Ignition switch is extremely dirty but still works. A lot of resistance there and basically throughout the circuit. It's fine for low AMP work. I put a relay on it, triggered by the original GP wire that hooks onto the GP buss bar. Went from getting 9-10V at GP's to full battery volts...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    This doesn't have a "cigarette lighter" GP indicator like the older tractors. There is an actual light in the instrument cluster that turns on when the GP circuit is active. If there is resistance it is coming from the key switch itself or other parts of the circuit. Is the GP indicator a...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    Battery is fresh and test was done with battery hooked up to an external "extra" battery. Based on your input, I think the switch itself is not flowing the required current. I will see if I can clean up the contacts since I already have the cluster pulled out and can get to it. Will post back...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    I got the HF one and it's for a bigger GP 10 *1.25 the one I need is 8 * 1.00. I had to order one from a tool supply (not HF). I can't do the test until that gets here in a few days or a week or whatever. I put it back together, cleaned up all the contacts, checked that I am getting good volts...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    I have not had any luck sourcing a compression tester. I did finally end up with finding one and it does not have the correct adaptor for the glow plugs. Any idea what the right size adaptor is and where one might be sourced? I am just going to put it back together for now. I can get to the GP's...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    Updated So I was able to get to the glow plugs. I ended up learning a whole lot about all the stuff between the steering wheel and the back of the engine, then just cut the insulation stuff out that was in my way and now I can get to what I needed. I pulled the bussbar off the GP'S and it had...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    Hi - What I will refer to as a shroud is the metal that connects to the dashboard/instrument panel. I have attached pictures. The gas tank and some firewall/protective plastic stuff is in the way of the second and third GP. I have pretty dainty hands and I have wrenched on a lot of Japanese...

    b7500 Glow Plugs removal and testing

    Thanks. I don't have any way to get to the buggers without removing the shroud and I can't figure that out quite yet, so I guess I will get back to you all whenever I can get to them and pull them for a proper test. I don't think 7 ohms is a good measurement for any glow plug, but I will leave...

    Hi, new to me b7500 w 1600 hours. Slow starting when cold. The GP light works when key is turned right. I have checked and with switch on GP's I am getting 10.3 to 10.5 volts. Has 3 GP's with a buss bar on the positive that connects all three. I cannot get to them well enough to remove the...
