    B7100 Top Link Pin

    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...

    Can a 16HP B7100 support a 72" Finish Mower

    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...

    How to tell if B7100 is overheating

    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...

    Problems starting a B7100 after a bit of a rebuild

    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...

    Throwout Bearing Sleeve Seals on B7100

    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...

    Clutch Pedal

    I just got my 1981 B7100 back from having the clutch disk, pressure plate, and release bearing serviced. After a short time of use, the bearing started making the "roaring" noise like it had before I got it serviced. Not as bad, but definitely there. I also started losing the ability to...

    Battery holder

    Is there supposed to be some sort of tie down for the battery in a B7100? I just got my clutch replaced and the battery just sitting there. Perhaps the hood holds it down, but I thought I'd check with you guys that know these things. Video with pictures here...

    PTO Speeds on a 1980 B7100

    Just got my B7100 back from the shop post-clutch work and can actually change gears now. Yay! Trying to figure out my PTO speed shifter as there is no label on the tractor and the manual just says I have neutral/1st/2nd/3rd (believe first gear is 540RPM that I'll mostly be using). From front...

    Operating B7100 with a worn clutch

    Hi all, I'm relatively new here because I just bought my first Kubota a couple weeks ago. The setup is great, B7100 4WD with a loader and Woods finish mower. The one issue is what we believe to be a worn out bearing on the clutch - when in neutral with the clutch disengaged (pedal pressed), it...

    My first Orange Tractor, complete with a clutch problem

    I picked up my first Kubota yesterday, a 1981 B7100 4WD with a loader and finish mower... exactly the setup I have been hunting for over 6 months to take care of our 3 acres, horses, and garden. Got the whole thing for $4200, complete with a clutch problem I was told had been estimated at $300...
