Hey Guys so my B7100 I have been told before my Grandpa passed he told me the Loader has a float function, is this true?
B219 FEL Float Function?
- Thread starter KubotaBoy56
- Start date
Try pushing the FEL joystick all the way straight forward and see if it stays in that position. He kept the tractor in great shape, you'll think about him everytime you use it especially with that oversized bucket.

Nice old tractor. Kubota parts site does not know what a B219 loader is - post a good picture of the control valve.

The Cessna valve (no longer available or supported) that was used on B219s.
Arrow shows cap containing the detent balls, springs, & etc.
Most float detents no longer work- they get water in there and get rusty.
If you take it apart, be prepared to have things go flying all about.
Mine was rusted beyond repair, I've been meaning to make new parts for it, but it just hasn't been a high priority. I removed what was left of all the rusty parts so it wouldn't stick in the float position.
If I need float, I just hold the stick forward.
