    Hello from new B6000 owner

    Maybe its just me and my low standard lawn ;-) but cricket pitches and especially bowling greens are perfectly flat I've seen floors that are less even than a well maintained bowling green. A rigid 30" inches in length cylinder should work if your lawn is fairly flat. Please post pictures on...

    Kubota life expectancy ( hours )

    Hi Buse! Good to see another B6100 in Sweden. Have you imported it Yourself ? or? As far as I know Belus who used to be the agent for Kubota in sweden only imported B5100D and B7100D and made some attachments for them, e.g. mowers. BR lasse

    Hello from new B6000 owner

    Hi! The Thai hubs looks really nice. Unfortunately I do not do any business trips to Bangkok anymore. 15 US$ for a solid hub like that is a bargain. Are you still planning to build that long rigid axle cylinder mower?

My B7100DT with 3500hs looks &feels brand new (well the clutch will probably need replacement within a year or two). Would be intersting to hear if there is any 10 000+ hour Kubota still...

    Hello from new B6000 owner

    Hi and welcome love your first posts! Please post pictures of Your mower project. Have you considered using a bunch (like 3 or more...) cylinders from manually pushed lawnmovers? Second hand manually operated movers are dirt cheap here (0-20 US$) Some of them are really high quality pieces of...

    Help needed B6100D Transmission Yoke????

    Hi Rob (and all others in UK)! I'm planning a "long weekend" vacation with my SO to UK this spring. Could be an idea to do some "tourist shopping" at a good Kubota dealer ;-). Not Surrey though. London and Dorset (close to Axminster) on the itenary. Any suggestions for a Kubota dealer with...

    l175? glow plug removal

    Hi You do not have to remove the glowplugs to check if they are working. I use a cheap multimeter that also can measure temperature. Just heat up the glowplugs for 20-30 seconds then use the temp. probe on the multimeter and put it on the cylinder head close to where the glowplug goes in. You...

    Help needed B6100D Transmission Yoke????

    Hi me again. Here is the picture. I must get I life instead of doing this;) It was interesting to try the macro function on my camera. The original pics came out quite nice. Not as nice now when I reduced the image size with a factor ~500. It is still possible to see the damage on the yoke. What...

    Help needed B6100D Transmission Yoke????

    Yep the new ones! The reason I cant take it apart is that somebody way before me has run the FWD drive with the joint loose in the boot. Deforing the material over the "securing rings" (whats the proper word for thoose spring rings?) for the U-joint. I can always save the sliding yoke by cutting...

    Help needed B6100D Transmission Yoke????

    Hi B7100 et.al. I was lazy in my last post and just added links to the pictures at Yenibiz. Well what the heck it is X-mas so i might as well be nice and add the pics. So I've attched them to this post (if I've done things correctly) And yes Yenibiz charge way to much for shipping and packin...

    Help needed B6100D Transmission Yoke????

    Hi just an update. The only source for the yoke that I been able to find is Yenibiz in Belgium. In the end I ordered the complete joint from them i.e. both yokes and the U-joint. There was no way I could separate the broken yoke from the joint without destroing the U-joint so a complete joint...

    Front Drive Shaft falling off on BX2200

    Hi me again! I just like to add to my previous post. Is the sliding yoke longer than the fixed one? On my B6100 the sliding part is ~3times as long as the fixed one. If somebody tampered with the joint and replaced the yoke with a shorter one that may be your problem. I do not have the parts...

    Front Drive Shaft falling off on BX2200

    Hi! I have very limited experince of tractors (just started fixing up an old B6100D) so You have to take my advice for what it is worth. For most other machines however it must be possible for one of the yokes to slide on the splines if not you will get all the force from any movement of the...

    Help needed B6100D Transmission Yoke????

    Hi I'm confused!! The parts manual states that part No 66591-56410 is the front yoke (i.e. joint 1 in the parts manual) on the transmission shaft from the gearbox to the front axel. However it seems impossible to buy it anywhere. Vendors list it as unavailable or replaced with part No for...
