    need help with front axle oil leak.

    I thought the front axels took 90wt gear oil after looking at my book. That is what I put in mine B7100. Also, my book said to fill the oil to the top of the axel housing? Only found two plugs, a drain and one on top of the axel housing on right side. That seemed strange to me, as...

    B7100 driveshaft tube

    I recently had to split my B7100 for clutch repair. When I re assembled I assumed I could get driveshaft back together after reassembly, but I could not do it. I even disconnected it at the Hydro gearbox (spring roll pin, hard to access), with no luck. I ended up having to cut off a small...

    b-7100. What RPM to run while mowing

    We use a Kubota 5' Mid mount mower, We are running on high side PTO speed which is the only speed the front PTO runs on. I would have thought running a higher RPM would probably be a little better at cooling the Hydro unit since that fluid is being pumped. On engine it is convection flow...

    b-7100. What RPM to run while mowing

    My lovely wife runs the B7100 to mow the grass. She has a habit of running the engine a lower RPM than I would to cut the grass, sometimes dogging the engine a little. It cuts amazingly good even at lower RPM if grass is not thick. I have always run my diesel tractors just below the PTO...

    hard starting b7100/puzzled

    a poor ground can cause slow crank speed or a worn starter can also drag and cause slow cranking speed If battery is good, wires and connections are good, I would look at starter.

    B8200 4wd HST boot/seal front differential

    My B7100 front differential @ driveshaft boot/housing had gear oil in it when I removed rubber boot. Probably my seal is leaking some. I actually put some gear oil back in there when I re installed thinking it would help lubricate the U joint and splines and oil would seek its own level...

    B7100 power steering

    Was wondering if anyone had installed a torque generator style poser assist on a small kubota such as those offered by char-lynn. They basically go in the steering column between the steering wheel and the steering gear box. maybe it would be too long? Seems it would be an easy add on if...

    B7100D clutch replacement

    I probably did my measurement wrong, but I think I measured the height of fingers (new Kubota pressure plate) before installation and checked they were all within the tolerance of each other. After bolting up, checked for the same relationship to each finger beaing nearly identical in hieght...

    Bolt Trouble

    I had to re tap some holes on a duetz tractor into the cast steel of the rear end. It taps easily. you'll need to step up in bolt thread diameter size .That is best hope to shoot for in that spot. It might require you pull engine. A machine shop could do it for sure.

    B7100D clutch replacement

    make sure you deal with the pilot bushing. I just purchased my B7100 last fall from guy who replaced clutch pressure plate T/O bearing. He did not replace pilot bushing. Clutch failed after about 10 hours of use. due to wobble of input shaft, clutch plate flew apart. I actually had to...

    B7100hst d differential and wheel gear housing volumes (4wd)

    On front axes, if I recall, you fill up with gear lube at the bolt on the top of axel on passenger side (R). You basically fill it up full as I understand it. The rear end is lubricated by hydrostat fluid. My book called for 3.6 gallons capacity in rear end, but mine did not hold that...

    B 7100 decompression lever?

    Assume the knob is on the dash. Do all B 7100's have this? I don't recall seeing one on mine, but I will have to go back and look again.

    B 7100 decompression lever?

    I hear mention of the decompression lever on B-7100. Is this lever activated by pulling throttle lever towards rear to kill the engine? SHould it be used when starting to spin engine to build oil pressure prior to starting? We have an old Cat highlift that starts that way. When should...
