    M4000 Head Gasket

    Anyone have any idea where to order a head gasket for an M4000? The tractor is burning coolant and overheating, so I want to pull the head off it soon, but want to have a new gasket ready to go (I'm hoping it's the gasket causing the problems). Can't seem to find one online though, anyone have...

    B7100 Snow Plow Plumbing

    I have a chance to pick up a plow and sub frame for a decent price not too far away. The hoses apparently need to be replaced, but it should bolt right up. How are the controls plumbed into it, do I need to make sure my tractor has anything special, or is there a spot on the factory pump for...

    B7100 FEL plans?

    Does anyone know if FEL plans exist anywhere for a homebuilt FEL? And is it feasible? My B7100 is the old gear drive, and I have less than $2500 into the whole tractor at this point (not including implements). It is a great little work horse, but I really could use a small FEL for it. I can...

    Anyone have experience with the M4000?

    We had to replace a tractor that blew up rather quickly, and went to look at an M4000 today. It fired right up with the glow plugs and ran super smooth, shifted well in all gears too, and the power steering worked fine, we ended up buying it. Are there any weak points or things to watch out...

    Off the shelf oil filter for B7100?

    I figured I could easily google this, but I can't seem to find it. I plan on doing oil changes tomorrow in equipment, and would like to be able to pick up a Fram or other off the shelf filter at some place that is open on Sundays. Tractor is older B7100, manual transmission. Anyone have any idea?

    Westendorf Auto Dump?

    Does anyone own one of these. The WR20 or WR30? They look like very handy units for moving loose material without a front end loader. Seems like they keep their pricing a secret though and I can't find any dealers.

    Tell me about the decompression valve.

    Mine had a frozen cable when I bought it, I cut the cable off and I can use the valve by hand right now, I needed it to bleed the lines the other day. Just for the fun of it I used it to cold start and it seemed to start much better than normal by hitting the glow plugs, spinning it with the...

    B7100 Gear Drive, Taking apart transmission.

    Okay, last question for the night, I have been saving them up for a bit before joining. The B7100 I bought is a gear drive, and it growls in 2nd and Reverse. I popped the cover and found the center gear on the 2nd/Reverse shaft was pretty torn up, the ones that mesh with it seem fine for some...

    How much blowby is acceptable?

    I have a good deal of smoke coming out of my B7100 vent tube. Still starts fine and runs strong though. I recently did the cam plug fix and it seems to have gotten worse since the oil pressure came back up. I have rings and a head gasket coming, but I really don't want to tackle it just yet...

    Exhaust Manifold Stud Size?

    New member, bought a 1970's B7100 a few weeks ago and I am slowly making into a solid tractor again. I removed the exhaust manifold today only to find one of the studs was broken. Are they a standard size that I can find at my parts place, or will I have to special order one from Kubota?
