Winter is here, and it's time to equip my new-to-me early 80's B7100 with a blade for some fun in the snow. I picked up a 60" County Line rear blade today. Got it all ready to hook up and discovered the pin on my top link is about 1" shorter than it needs to be to make it through the bracket on...

senecak19, If you'd like to make me a fair offer and could arrange shipping, I'd be glad to think about sending it your way. I'm guessing shipping a 700 pound piece of equipment may far offset any semblance of a good deal I can make you, though... The money's going into my flat-bed trailer fund.

The weight is another good consideration - I appreciate your input. Selling this thing should help put some dollars in the implement fund. :)

I have an early 80's manual transmission B7100. Great tractor, now that I've overhauled the steering box and everything between the flywheel and transmission! I currently have a 60" woods finish mower and have had great luck with it. It came with the tractor, and seems to be the perfect fit...

Any recollection of the temps you would see using the infrared? And is the boiling normal? I'm just not sure how hot thing thing should be running. It doesn't seem mind the work, but the cloud of smoke when the coolant splashed on the engine got me thinking I'd better put a little thought into...

Hi all. I've been away for a month while I got the steering gear box of my B7100 repaired. During that time my pastures did not stop growing, so when I got it back I had a mess of tall grass and weeds to chop down. I have a 5' Woods finish mower to do the job, and it is doing great if I raise...

Noise was coming from the rear hydraulic lift. Not sure if it had air in the line or what, but once I raised and lowered it a couple times, the noise was gone. Engine all back together, clutch works like a charm, time to take it for a test drive. UGH! Three laps around my property and my...

I bled a fuel system! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXAJIqVJFC8 Took some effort to get the shroud off with the loader on (lesson learned - get tractor running before you reassemble entire loader), but once I did it was simple to get to the bleeder bolt for the pump. Definitely had some air...

Whoops... missed this part of bleeding the injectors: "Once you’ve unseated all the injector lines, open the fuel bleed valve on the side of the injector pump (as discussed above), pull on the decompression knob to relieve the cylinder head of any compression, and then turn the key and crank...

I wondered if that might be the case. In the article it stated: "There are two methods to bleed this system, one using the bleed valve and cylinder head decompression, and the other involves loosening the injector lines from the injectors. Either method is a straightforward procedure." I...

Hey all, First off, I know SOOO much more about my B7100 than I did a couple months ago when I bought it! My mechanic friend and I split my tractor to basically do an overhaul on the clutch and wound up replacing and/or machining just about everything from the flywheel and pilot bearing to the...

I think we got it - but then again I'm not the most mechanically minded of the bunch fixing my tractor. THANKS. What started as a clutch replacement now has my tractor split at both the clutch and the transmission to machine a sleeve to keep the pilot bearing snug in the flywheel and a complete...

Yeah, I know... terrible pics. By "lipped edge" you mean the edge that has a little wider lip along the edge... lol... to use your own words. Just making sure my understanding of the term matches yours. Thanks, Chet

Thanks, I think that helps. I know these pics are a little blurry, but I think I'd say the first has the lipped edge pointing up. Agreed? and the second here has it pointing down. I apologize for the quality... was out in the barn for a long time today and didn't notice how blurry these were.

I'm overhauling the clutch and seals on my B7100-D 4x4. We have the diagram below, but because the old seals were basically no longer in existance, we can't figure out which way the seals go. We're replacing parts # 3 and # 4 on this diagram. Any help? We're not sure which direction the rubber...

Here's a picture of my clutch rod. Is it supposed to have this big bend in the middle? It's also twisted a bit towards the front of the tractor, which I've been to bend back a bit. Right now, I have several inches of play before engaging the clutch, and by the time you do, you're hitting the...

Stopped by the local Kubota dealer today and their mechanic just happened to have a B7100 just like mine back in the shop. He showed me how a bent clutch rod could be causing the problem I'm having - basically, WAY too much play in the clutch pedal to the point that you don't even start to...

I don't think I said I wouldn't. I'm working on several leads. The guy who originally did it is a stranger to me and I have been going through the guy I bought the tractor from at this point. They both live an hour and a half a way... fuel alone is 1/2 the cost of having the local guy do it. If...

I'm leaning that way also. Found a local mechanic who does this work for all the farmers in town and he's going to swing by and take a look at the adjustment bolts and see if we need to split the thing again to take a look. Busy time of year for him so it may be a couple weeks... but I can live...

Thanks guys. It was in working order when I received it back from the mechanic. It worked for about an hour, no problem. No grinding while shifting, plenty of power at the PTO, and then it shifted rather rapidly to what you saw in my videos. My GUESS is that the spring broke and is laying...
