1978 B7100D hour meter reading question

[ve9aa]

I don't know about you guys, but I hope he wins the auction! For a few thousand bux or whatever, seems like the odds are in your favor of getting a decent deal.

Staying tuned.

Well, the auction has come and gone. I did not win the tractor so it is time to put this thread to bed. Thanks again to all of you that contributed your valuable comments.

Did you go to the auction? What additional information did you learn about the tractor? What was the selling price?

No, I did not go to the auction. So in the end I did not learn any more than before. As I mentioned in my previous post (#22) unfortunately I did not get the tractor. The winning bid was $3,250. Thanks for your interest but it is all a moot point now. I did enjoy the discussion with all of you and you all were a great help.

That's one of the reasons that I have wanted to find an older (especially per-emissions) Kubota diesel 4x4 tractor.

Just reading back through here…

You don’t have to look that old to find a pre emission Kubota in the size of tractor you are looking at in B7100. All of the current models in the B series have “no” emission equipment on them except the B3350 (which I would avoid) and the current LX3310 which replaced the 3350.

All BX models even up to current production ones have “no” emission. Only mention this model as the 7100 to me seems to be between the current B and BX size wise (Im no expert on anything Kubota lol)

The basic L series has one model still in current production (L2501) that is “no” emission. The L I have is the last model before they went to emission equipment on the 01 series above 26hp (I think thats the cut off currently)

Grand L, I wont attempt lol, but I think its getting out of the size you are looking at.

Just posting this in reference to that one comment specifically. I understand there are budgets (which isn’t my business) and given your location, the availability. Just wanted to be aware you don’t need to look old to get pre emission.

note: “no” is in quotes because there is emission levels they still need to meet, but these models don’t have common rail fuel systems, DPF,DEF, etc that is the issue with buyers and newer tractors.

Thanks for your post Fordtech86. Your comments are always informative and something for me to remember and keep in mind if I get another chance at a Kubota.

I probably won't be visiting this forum again now for awhile. If I find another Kubota I will certainly be back. I have really enjoyed my time here.
