Got the tractor home. You can see the pictures here.

I do have a few questions. Do you know where I can download a manual online.

Also, Do you know what the extra hydraulic valve is all about. I think this tractor used to have a front plow or something. It has a bracket/carriage underneath.

Also, what is the purpose of the light next to the key switch. It only comes on when the engine is not running.

I am amazed at how nice this tractor is. The paint on the frame and running gear is very nice. I dont think it was used very much at all . Tires are great. It runs and drives like a champ. There is a lot of smoke at full throttle though. None at idle.

I was thinking glow plugs. I am picking up the tractor tonight. Yes, the previous owner held the knob for a while each time before starting, but it didnt seem to help. Should these glow plugs be getting a full 12v or a little less?

If I am getting voltage the the plugs, I guess the next step would be to bench test the plugs themselves. Remove them, ground the threads, put 12v to the terminal, and they should start a glowin...am I on the right track?

Is there some other sort of timer or relay in the glow plug system

Thanks

I am picking up a new to me B6000 tomorrow. The tractor is hard to start but once started, runs good. Lots of smoke when trying to start it too. I was thinking maybe the pump is getting weak or something. I am pretty handy so I am anxious to get my hands dirty on this one.

Vic, Is it your recommendation that the wise thing to do is replace the hub?
In the diagram I found on line (B7100HST mine is standard gearbox) it appears that the clamp is separate from the hub, yet on my tractor it is welded to the hub. Can you tell me if it should be separate or has someone welded it.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us.

Vic I hope you can help me out. I installed a extra valve kit for my B7510 it is installed and works great but I would like to get one more valve. How can I get a part # for just the valve. This is a stack valve set up so I should just beable to add just the valve but no one can get me just the spool valve. Could you please Email with any info. Heres my email Kens914@ymail.com

Yes, In fact, it appears what I assume is the spring, is nearly fully compressed. It looks as if it were washers. Based on your response can I add washers to the clamp bolt then retighten. would possibly eliminate the wobble.
Thanks again!

Hi Vic,
I have a B7100 late 1977. The right rear wheel wobbles. seems the hub has worn or some such thing. The axle measures approx. the same on all flats and on both sides right and left. ( 1.756/ 1.761) I have to assume it is the hub or what appears to be the clamping mechanism on the inner side of the hub. Can you provide any direction to eliminate this wobble? Do I need a new hub, clamp, spring, bolt or all?
Looking forward to your sage advise! Thank you very much.

Hey Vic,
Love the site and the videos are great! I've got a B7100 sn B7001-60269 and was wondering what year model it was? I've been told by some that it could be any where from a 77 to a 90 but my guess is early 80's I also would like to know what the normal operating temp should be? I've noticed some coolant leaking from the overflow tube lately. the radiator cap appears to be original and the gasket on it is cracked I've tried to find a replacement at local auto parts stores but they have no way to determine the correct pressure rating and I'm afraid I'll blow out a hose or something worse if I get one with too much pressure! the original cap had 0.9 on it but nobody locally knows what unit of measure that is. I checked the radiator tank with an infrared thermometer after 1 hour of mowing and got a reading of 210 degrees F. Is this within normal range or do I have more problems than a cap?
Thanks

Hi Vic
I've just purchased an L2950 GST 4WD c/w Allied loader with 810 Hrs on hour meter.
The steering seems very loose and slow to respond. Not good near bldgs and other obstacles.
Of the 3 main steering components, I'm going to replace the pressure relief valve on the steering column controller first, as it would be the cheaper of the other parts to check. Am I correct in my thinking or is there another route I should be taking?

Go to Kubota Corporate site ( www.kubota.com) and look at Grey market list and then look at the obsolete Kubota model by year and compare to a Kubota model and try your lock at OEM clutch. Get size, thickness and hub center spline count when replacing, good luck wish I knew more but I don't....

I have a Model B219 (serial #1842) loader on my B7100 Kubota. My research indicates that there should be a "float position" when the control lever is pushed past the down position. I assume it should have a detent at that point. In my case there is no detent, the handle just returns to the nuetral position. And the loader does not seem to float.
However, I have not given it a test in the forward direction, I have only tried it in reverse.
The control valve appears to be original. Although I have no way of knowing for sure.
Question is: Am I correct in assuming there should be a detent? Based on the way the instruction reads; "The lever must be returned to the nuetral position manually"

Any information on this condition would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi,

I have had a Kubota B1200 since 1996, unaware of grey market back then. This tractor has been great. Recently developed problem with clutch. Is there a US model that this
model may cross to for clutch parts? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Vic,
I am a newbe, Just purchased a B7100 with model 219 loader. Have many questions, But, my first is: The oil light stays lit even after engine starts the fellow I bought it from said "it always does that". But owners manual I aquired says it should go off. Question is; Is the sending unit a normally "closed/ held open switch" or opposite? and, are the sending unit's threads such that a pressure gage can be easily attached with a gage from an after market store?
Thank you. (Your site is great for people like me!)
