I was looking at my B5100e which has been sitting at the back of my garage and I notice that there was a small wet patch on the floor. The liquid has been coming out of the radiator expansion pipe. Now the B5100e does not have an expansion tank or any recovery system just a sort of drain off...

Hi Rob yes we have had quite a lot of tree damage. I have already spent ten days clearing up trees and there is still a lot more work to do. But we have been lucky as we have not had any flooding. I feel sorry for all the people who have had lives disrupted and their houses ruined by flood...

I have been using my tractor today with a trailer and chainsaw clearing up some trees that had fallen due to the storms we have had in the UK. When I was walking towards the tractor when it was running I noticed a small amount of smoke coming out of what I believe to be the crankcase breather...

Hi Richie your Gey import B6001 should be very close to an UK B6100. With that in mind here are the details for an B6100 The engine oil 10w-30 3.9l Transmition SAE No80 11.5l (the transmition, back axel, pto and 3 point linkage all use the same oil reserve) Radiator 4.6l Front axel case...

I have had a rummage through my manuals- he we go the following pictures are taken from b6000 parts manual. The only thing I would say is you have an aftermarket non Kubota linkage set as you can see there are some differences in fittings and how it attaches.

Its probably a matter of opinion but you can install the check chains on the inside of the main arms. As illustrated in your last picture. The problem with have the check chains on the out side is if you do not have an implement attached or the lower arms are not tied together the arms can swing...

In the UK we have different road lighting requirements to you guys in the states. I know you have a feature where you have two amber lights on the side of you tractor which flash at the same time we do not have this function in the uk. I have taken a picture of the back of my tractor for your...

My tractor was not fitted with an hour meter :(. I was thinking in terms of use of engine rather than cock read out.

Is it safe to leave tractor ignition on my b5100 with out starting it? I have heard people say with cars that you should not leave ignitions on as it can damage the ignition coil but I don’t think this is applicable on a Diesel tractor. The reason I ask this is our property boards a single...

L.e.d. bulbs are readily available on eBay. I am not sure if you can get l.e.d.s that have high and low beam function. I have brought some for my B5000, but that has only lights on or lights off function. Most general l.e.d. bulbs you can purchase do not seam to perform as well as standard...

Thanks Dave using electrolysis looks very interesting. I think I will have a go with a small piece of metal and see what its like. I think I can get the worst of the rust off. But how can I repaint the inside of the air filter it is quite a confined space.

Thanks Vic for useful information link about fitting and adapting a different filter element. What’s the best way of going about stripping the paint off the inside of the filter? And how can I repaint it? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am having a few problems with an air filter for a Kubota B5000 I have recently purchased. When servicing the tractor I looked inside the air filter box and saw that it was rusty and that the paint was coming off and the rubber seals where rotten. I don’t think I can realistic repaint the...

I have removed the starter and the solenoid. The ring gear and the starter cog are in good condition with very little wear no stripped teeth. The solenoid has a strong spring in it still and the starter looks ok. I am not sure what I am really looking for everything seams to operate ok. I may...

Hi Matt how far you go servicing it really depends on when it was last serviced. But if you don’t know when I would start with the most essential items first. Engine oil, Engine oil filter, clean or replace air filter, Gear box oil, clean or replace gearbox oil filter, check radiator - drain...

I am having a few problems starting my tractor and I am hoping some one can shed some light on it. When you start the tractor from could the tractor starts first time. When the tractor is has been running a while and you go to restart it the starter makes a grinding noise if you the turn the...

I dont have any thing currently on the back. I mainly use it for pull a half ton trailer. The tactor did come with front weights but I have removed them hopeing that it would give the rear a bit more traction.

Has any one noticed when changing a hydraulic filter in the back end of a tractor that the old filter you take out is a much higher quality than a newer Kubota filter? I have a early B series and I found that a new filter I purchased from a Kubota dealer was of very low quality and even had...

Hi I was just wondering what wheels and tyres you are running on the back of your tractor, they look a bit small and it looks like the tractor is sitting low at the back. I was wondering if they where 14inch because original the tractor would have been fitted with 7-16 or 8-16. Glad you are...

Hi I am looking for some advice about the clutch and gear box on a Kubota B5100e which I purchased off eBay. The tractor is very original made in 1981and still has the original tyres on it! All the joints are tight there is no play in the steering. It starts easily with little smoke I cant image...
