Frton wheel drive parts for Kubota B7100 (1980)

[DaveWicklow]

Hi guys, I'm from across the pond in Ireland. Just wondered how easy or difficult it is to get wearing spare parts for these old compact Kubota tractors? We specifically need king pins and other parts for the front wheel drive. We may have to buy from the US to get this tractor back to work otherwise we could be waiting a long time and many $$$$. Can anyone suggest a good stockist in your part of the world that I could try?

Sorry for misspelling the title. I meant Front Wheel Drive...

When I rebuilt my B7100DT front axle, I bought parts from Colemans.
Here's a link to that thread:

I think I found out why my left front wheel locked up.

While trying to find all the parts/seals/gaskets to rebuild my front axle, I shopped around and found these interesting variations. Coleman Equipment- $550 shipped to me, complete parts, seals, gaskets, shipping. Local Kubota dealer- $832 (10 dealerships in the state, all owned by the same...

Hi Bill - thank you for those handy links! Wow, king pins are not cheap and I see that the bottom king pin, that we're missing, has been discontinued. But Colemans would seem to be a good source of parts generally and it's good to see prices of parts online. Over here, they make it really difficult to see parts diagrams and nothing is online.
I guess sometimes we will have to get parts made for these old machines. Looks like we may have to make a bottom king pin.
They are such tough and capable little tractors, it's hard to put them out to grass...
