A question for the gurus. My kid has a B7100 with the Kubota dozer blade and hydroturn. The question is that on the lift valve you pull the lever back into the float detent it doesn't float. It provides power down on the blade. Anyone have an idea on the why of this situation. *I have a B6000...

I'm looking to mate a front end snow blower to a B1700. Can anyone recommend a crank driven PTO setup? Nothing is solidified and I'll grab a 40+ inch blower off craigslist. The PTO is the concern. Thanks in advance guys.

My kid just picked up a manual trans B7100. As typical it has steering issues. The steering box was replaced at some juncture with a grey one. Yeah I know,, nice details. The drag link also has some small cobbled rod end on it at the front axle. I just ordered a rg thread tie rod end for $15 and...

I thought I'd throw this up here for posterity. B6000's don't have a water pump and rely on the thermosiphon principle for cooling. After a while they'll push coolant out and overheat. After forty years of refilling the radiator and overheats, the fix is incredibly simple once I thought...

A couple years ago I went into the B6000 engine as it did the predictable spit the plug out of the cam shaft thing. I made steel plugs, pressed them in and put a little weld bead on them. At the same time I put rings and rod bearings in it as the compression on one cylinder was a bit low. I...

Last year I put rings, rod bearings and did a valve job on my B6000. After ~50 hours I'm now seeing oil pressure around 30 psi. Oh oh, IIRC it always ran around 40-50. When I fire it up cold it'll show 80 as it's on the relief valve but drops precipitously when it heats up. Water runs at...

My 6000 runs ok but a little smoky at times. Recently I went through the engine due to the typical cam plug falling out. I re cut valve seats, fed it rings and rod bearings as well as making steel plugs for the cam and welding them in. I'm thinking the injectors are a bit weak and firing at a...

After 40 years of owning the old B6000 with the ZL600 engine it's starting to get weaker. A little less power and some blowby tells me it's time to freshen up it's guts. It runs fine but it's just time to get into it. Does anyone know of a good source for a rebuild kit? I haven't opened it up...
