Stubbyie "Track down an Illustrated Parts Manual and I suspect you'll see a spring under the fuel filter element." We got a copy of the "Parts List" with the B7100 (tractor is a 1980 model). The fuel filter group is on page 39. It does not show a spring in the bowl (called "cup - filter" in...

John I was wrong about the filter I removed. What I saw on the base of the filter element was the adhesive used to hold shape of the filter paper. The metal end cap was in fact stuck in the bowl. My manual mentions a spring in the bowl and I assumed the metal disc in the bowl was a...

Rob Thank you - excellent advice. The metal disc in the bottom of the bowl was part of the old filter element. I removed it and the filter assembled without problems. I was (and still am) confused by the owners manual which: (1) mentions a spring in the bottom of the bowl [Correction: the...

John Thanks for the info. That would certainly do it. This new filter has a thin gage formed sheet metal end cap with a hole in the center. The old filter I removed had the same end cap still in place on the filter. [Correction: the lower filter metal end cap was stuck in the bottom of the...

Greetings Trying to install a new fuel filter element on a B7100. This is the sediment bowl type with a replaceable paper element. The new Kubota element appears to be too tall. Started off with the element in the bowl/canister. With the element bottomed out in the filter canister there was...

freewheel3 Thanks for the reply. I proceeded blind before your reply. I split the front chain. There was barely enough room to pull the master pin. Also had to loosen the pump bracket mount bolts and pull it forward against the pump guard. This left just enough space between the pump...

Up front disclaimer: I am not a gear head. My unofficial motto is "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is." Need to replace the fan belt on a 1980 B7100, gear drive trans, 3 point, with Kubota end loader. The hydraulic pump mounts on the front and is driven by a shaft on the drive pulley. On...

That makes sense for a suburban lawn or golf course. Our objective is to have a smooth firing point. The moles and earthworms make the place kind of lumpy. That condition is a negative for competitor stability and comfort. Regards Jim

I do not know the weight of the roller we have. I do know it is somewhat too heavy for a 1958 Case 410 utility tractor. No way this Kubota can handle it. We need to buy another roller so I need some idea of the weight it can handle. Regards Jim

Greetings I'm a new member and happy to find this website. I belong to a gun club. We have 35 acres of mixed grass, timber and creek bottom. Yesterday we bought a 1980 B7100 4WD with end loader and 3 point hitch mounted 48" mower. This tractor will be used for grounds maintenance and mowing...
