[amsrn13]

Hey guys , I'm looking for a loader and backhoe for my 7100.... anyone selling

You will have MUCH better luck.............. playing your state lotto............

Your best bet............ find ANOTHER tractor that has both and turn around and sell yours!

Yah I picked this up yesterday , 7100 from original owner with 500 hours . 3k , figured that was fair

It's probably fair. Get yourself a 3pt scoop and a carryall and a hitch adapter. That's about the best you'll be able to do. I love my 7100, but it's basically just a small trailer puller.
I still expect to keep the 7100 around and pass it down to my son, hopefully. Love that stupid little tractor.

So I found a newer 7100 with a loader and mower deck for 2600, motor has blowby and won't start , I think that's a fair price for everything. Everything is in great shape and everything is complete

The Kubota loader options for that tractor are the B219 OR the B1630C. The backhoe is the B4672. A subframe is also required as part of the FEL and the FEL is required for the BH. All are rare as hen's teeth these days. Murphy's Law says that if you do find a FEL it will have been attached to a different tractor originally and will therefore have the wrong subframe, requiring modification to fit your tractor.

Of the two, the FEL is by far and away the most useful attachment I have but I had to make my own. (My build thread is here. Others have done the same). I incorporated Skid Steer Quick Attach into my build and get almost as much use out of my home made pallet forks as I do the bucket. You will also need to either obtain a separate hydraulic pump and reservoir (usually incorporated into one of the FEL support towers) or tap into the tractor's hydraulics with a suitable replacement hydraulic block cover if your tractor has the block (see this thread for more info) -- or by tapping into the lines if it does not.

I did manage to find a B4672, but it took 4 years of looking. I had considered building one of those too, but wouldn't get the use out of it to justify the time. Now that I have one, I have put it to use and it's handy to have but not nearly as handy as the FEL. Your Mileage May Vary. If you do find one, you will need a Heavy Duty 3PH top link bracket. Also no longer available. My build thread is here.

How are your welding skills?

I'm a really good welder, tig and mig . So I found a 7100 with a loader and mower local to me . It's in awesome shape , it just has a blowby issue , he wants 2600 for everything delivered. Im going for it . It's 100% complete in great shape

 

[amsrn13]

It looks better in person , the loader is in awesome shape . I don't know what their worth alone but ...

 

[bmblank]

The loader alone is probably worth what you paid for the whole shebang.

I just got a brand spanking new L3901 instead of trying to find a loader for my 7100. I mean, I probably would have gotten off cheaper if I could have stuck it out looking for a loader, but... I think I made the right choice.

Edit: Correction. The loader is FOR SURE worth what you paid for the whole shebang.

 

[torch]

Very nice! For sure worth what you paid. Now you have a difficult choice: fix the non-running tractor and put the mower on the original, or swap the loader over to the running tractor and use the non-running one as a parts mule.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[amsrn13]

This is going to be tuff , this is so clean, it was stored in a barn for 20 years . I also read that these loaders don’t bolt on . I guess they are slightly longer so you have to drill a few holes ?

 

[torch]

Looks like that is an aftermarket loader, not a Kubota brand one. Nice fit, but all bets are off. While the Kubota brand loaders and sub-frames generally bolted to provided holes in the tractor, you'll have to carefully compare the two and figure out if new holes are required yourself.

I gave 2400 for a rough 7100 with fel and a 4ft. Bush hog brand cutter it needs lots of love but fits my needs
