Dear Rbeck... I do not know how to do it but you need to go back in the archives of my posts and pull up the thread on the issues I had with my tractor. Identical to yours.... It turned out to be a design flaw and Kubota ponied up for the retrofit for the return line from the pwr steering pump to the sump.

My tractor works GREAT now.... Butch

PS drop us a line to let us know how you make out...

Even though Butch has a B2410 the same thing applies to your B7510.

RB.... just to let you know we had a couple of guys on here that contacted their dealer with the same problem and when the dealer was informed there WAS a solution to something they seemingly knew knowthing about they looked at the tractor owners as if they were from MARS.

Don't let them blow you off.... If you are mechanically inclined,,,, the fix is not rocket science and can be done in a couple of hours if you plan iy out and work steady. There is a parts kit specifically for the fix along with a dealer bulletin on it....

Good luck, Butch.

PS.... If per chance you are not as lucky as me in getting the kit... we can tell you step by step how to fix it yourself..
