When was my B5000 made?

I am guessing late 1970s. But could anyone confirm that?

cheers

Close. Mid seventies, great little tractors, right?

Here's a few pics of a B5000 I sold earlier this summer.

I must be Kubota crazy because I wax the inner parts of the fenders!

Folks that buy a Kubota from Mr. K in the sales department can be assured they are getting a machine that looks new and functions as new, cuz he makes me service them up!

That little B5000 was SWEET!

We've got another one in the shop right now undergoing routine fall servicing. Think I might ask the customer if he'd be interested in selling it to us, maybey trade it on on a Bi-Speed unit we have.

Hmmmmmmm, how can I hide that in the shop so Mr. K. doesn't see it???

He found my first week production L-175 and made me sell it, but we did get a new 30T bearing press and Mig for the shop. Got to retire that Lincoln stick welder.

Not quite a fair trade though, still that B5000 would be nice........stay tuned!

Hell, if I had one that pretty I'd be waxing the inner parts of her thighs too!


Vic, I am always impressed with your quality work and who ever purchases one of your tractors is a lucky man!
