Thanks for the advices Stubbyie, Well, I will keep an eye this winter and see how tractor starts, for the moment I am away, overseas in Middle East and tractor is in the shed back home. I don't know if I will fit a battery maintainer but definitely I will use extra power from a second battery...

Steve, For the moment I will check the glowplugs and change them if any faulty. This winter I need to fix the holes and get rid of rust from the bonnet, change the back lights with the original ones I bought from ebay, wanted to repaint it all but changed my mind, I will leave the original...

wow, amazing how much info on that link, I had a manual but there's much more helpful info, I'll get them all :) I am thinking to buy a new overhaul kit, just to have it there for when I'll be forced to change it. I just want to mention that we've recently used the tractor for plowing in total...

thank you a lot chaps for your opinion and advises. I am very happy to find good quality people on this superb forum. It seems it is something normal out there. :) I have learnt a lot since I discover it. I will try to bring up subjects with video and pictures as I am sure there are many rookies...

Thanks Tom for your replys, mine starts very difficult in the hottest days without preheat even if stopped for a half an hour before...we have very hot summer in South Romania. I don't mind to use preheat every start, just wanted to know if it's something normal.

Do you use preheat even in hot days like 30+ Celsius?

Thank you Wolfman for your opinion, I don't get any smoke while plowing, so I am thinking it might be some glowplugs fault in there? When I preheat and start it, it feels that it is struggling a bit to start. I would like to replace the glowplugs , any idea about some good quality ones? Cheers

Hello everybody! I noticed my 1983 kubota b7100 (1400 h on odometer) has a quite difficult start. It doesn't start in the hot days without preheat. Tractor is in Romania now, bought it from UK. Tested it in August (30+ Celsius) without preheat and didn't start. Now I have to use preheat button...

thanks for ur reply, i have sent them an email

Hey folks, as i said in my last post from previous thread, I am a happy owner of a kubota b7100. Bought it from London UK last week, the tractor needs some TLC, starts and drives very nice, it is a 1983 model. Five men lifted it in a van (front wheels first and then lift it and push it from...

Hey Rob, I would like to buy ur pair of mirrors for my new b7100, I live north London. :)

Hi guys! OK, gave up with buying the b7001 with the serial number missing ( doggy thing) so, bought a b7100 :) I will make a new thread (with pics) cuz I need some answer from ppl smarter than me :):cool:

thanks for the reply rob, yeah I was thinking the same but wanted to hear it from people with more experience on this as well :) I will let you know my decision I'll take these following days:cool:

I think I'll go for it...have to decide these days, I am wondering what's better to have fitted: water pump or thermo-syphone in both terms maintenance (parts) and performance? any suggestion?:confused:

Rob, Thanks for the infos mate, He says definedly it is a b7001 and it's fitted with a water pump, I have some pictures taken by my mate and sent through wathsapp so they are not in a good quality. the stickers seem to be the original ones and the paint as well...unfortunately I don't have any...

Lol, I thought you meant CCTV... The seller is honest, I spoke a lot with him on the phone, he bought it for a project (orchard) but he gave up the idea, he doesn't really want to sell it but because he's not using it he's thinking to let it go, anyways I would still want to have the things in...

thanks for the quick reply, Ismurphy. I have to look in person for that when I go there...don't know if they have cameras everywhere there but why would anybody destroy the serial number of a chassis?

Hello everyone, I am just about to buy a kubota b7001. The tractor looks very very good according to a friend of mine who seen it today. I cannot see it right now because I am in UK and the tractor is in Italy. Now, the problem is that my friend (he's not a specialist) couldn't spot the serial...
