I have run my B6000 dry twice. Once about 7 years ago. I swore I'd NEVER do that again. Then came last night. Getting ready for the upcoming snow storm I figured I'd get the dinosaur running and checked out. Looked in the tank, saw it was 'full enough' and started it up. Drove down the...

One of the benefits of a FEL. 8 yards of topsoil. Done.

The bucket rams are bent. the PO modified the bucket narrower and deeper ( to muck out cow troughs) and side mounted the bucket. the guy says they are never going to last because of the bend, The main rams never retract as normal, because of the modified reconfiguration years ago, and...

the biggest drawback is the counter rotating PTO spline, and the odd size. it makes the tractor difficult to find or mate implements to. the FEL is this units strong point. well... that and the Hydraulic ports on the back. There was a special adapter that someone installed to shunt...

Here’s the offending attachment that overstressed the rams.

While using my trusty Orange beast....... I have been a happy Kubota operator for about 10 years. My 1978 (or so) B6000 is one tough tractor. I have tried numerous times to kill it. Now i have a decision to make. While installing irrigation lines in yard I blew the right FEL and bucket rams...

@ North Idaho Wolfman Thanks for the detailed pics. Now for some clarification. The first pic, Is this all that will come out when I unscrew the part? I wasn't planning on taking the entire injection pump out. The second pic, the leak is coming from the shoulder at yellow arrow. Is...

Sounds like a good reason to get the pressure washer out and clean the old girl off. In addition to the orings, is the thickness of the copper gasket critical? How is the timing of the injection pump adjusted? Are there other shims that are not part of this dis, and re assembly? Is this...

That's the cats meow. Thanks :-) After looking at parts, it seems no parts are specified for a B6000. But B7100 and 6100 show them. Are the parts (O Ring and Gasket) interchangeable between the B6000 and B6100? John

Good day: B6000. Ran it out of fuel. In process of bleeding it, I loosened the injector lines. It seemed that the forward injector would never spit any fuel. So I completely removed it. Blew it out with compressed air. Reinstalled it. Now comes the question/problem. Started it up...

well..... as the song goes: Whoops, I did it again. I promised myself to NEVER EVER EVER let this old beast run dry. Too bad i didn't pay attention to the fuel tank. However, I do notice that only one injector line spits as i crank it. Is it possible to have a injection...

Funny you mention that. The top fuel line running from the secondary to the injection pump was always damp with fuel. I did replace it, maybe that was a larger part of the problem than I realized. I should replace the lower hoses too. Good suggestion. General Maintenance is always...

Well, I can't find the post to refer to, but another person here on OTT put up a couple pics with arrows to the bleed screws. It turns out I didn't know about the screw on the banjo bolt on top of the fuel injection pump. Runs like a champ. Now I have to just figure out the dynamo issue...

When I opened the bleed screw on the primary filter housing fuel gushed out of there. Yeah, I will have to work on the dynamo wires. There's only three that I un, re hooked. They were all stacon bullets with matching wire colors. I couldn't see how I could goof that up.... but, hey...

Hi all: My trusty B6000 and I were splitting wood for the last couple days. I made sure to keep the tank filled, and checked the radiator and oil levels each day prior to use. Yesterday I noticed the slightest engine rpm differing (up and down slightly). I assumed fuel filters clogging...

I'm in the same boat. I am dressing up my old dinosaur. But the fender decals for the High /low, 4WD, and 3PH up/down labels are hard to find. I see some on ebay for just the hood decals. Those were easy to find. I have not found the fender decals. any help? The mentioned Kubota...

As Stumpy says, remove the injector lines at the outlet of the pump. release the compression release, and crank. Make sure the issue is with the pump, not a clogged, or bad injector. When you see good squirting at each injector pump discharge then reattach the lines, and then...

That would be a stretch to put a three cylinder in the old two banger spot.

Obviously the later model year tractors have a WHOLE LOT better manuals than the early ones! Thanks for that. I will have to look into the inspection port. Interesting that 'total pedal throw' is listed as 5 3/4"

The adjusting rod is only in by a couple threads. It was only about 7 turns in when I took it apart. I put it about 4 turns in and put the lock nut on. It is in the center hole. The bottom hole is the spring hole. I would understand if the adjustment was all the way out, to allow for...
