Service Manual Recommendation

[DandW2100]

I need to do some repairs, brakes, directional pedals, etc. to my F2100. I was wondering if anyone had found a good service/repair manual they would recommend.

I see a few on-line but I am afraid to get one to find out it's real bad and that I have wasted my money.

Any help would be great...
Thanks
Dave

Dave -

www.kubotabooks.com might have a free WSM.

Absent that, I would likely go directly to a Kubota dealer, whether local or online. Coleman and Messicks are two that come to mind. I’ve purchased from Messicks a couple times.

There is no cheap or free PDF available, Ones online that say they have it are a scam.

You'll need to go to a dealer, ebay, amazon and buy a hard copy.

Or local dealer P/N 97897-10287

Wolfman is telling right!

I tried a “free” download only to find it was a hodge-podge of incorrect info gleaned from god-knows-where.

If it doesn’t have the Kubota copyright...then it’s not likely legit.

I checked the links and with the exception of ebay, nobody will ship to Canada. The one on ebay will cost me about $160 with shipping, then I am not sure what I will be charged on top of that for duty and brokerage fees. Then maybe tax....not sure.
I have ordered from ebay.com before and it ended up costing me twice what the original price was before I got it.
Can't see to find it on any dealer sites in Canada...I'll keep searching...

NIW, on the forum I moderate we have a “library” where paid-up Members can download all kinds of OEM and Aftermarket manuals.... It can be “sticky-wicket” (as the British say) but we’ve had no issues at all in 19 years if only pdf files are allowed.

That would be a good option!

I would give him the PDF if I had it, but that model I've yet to find the manual.

An orange tractor friend could just send you some random papers for your reading enjoyment.

PM me if you need a Orange tractor friend to help you get the papers you need.

I asked if the manual for my L3800 was a scanned copy or original from Kubota, they replied an original PDF.

Had a look at the link, they look like parts list manual not WSM.
They don,t have anything for the F2100.

Hate to tell ya, but they are lying through their teeth, if they have any.
It's a bootleg copy/scan of an original... and maybe not even the US version of the original manual.
A lot of these fake manual sites, pawn off EU or other manuals, and they are simply wrong for your tractor.
There is a reason they don't have any real contact info as what they are doing is illegal, well it's illegal in the US as it's copyright infringement.

Thanks for that info, I hadn't considered it was a non-US version.
