Hi,
New to this forum and to a Kubota B6100 which I recently purchased. The previous owner had parked it outside under a hedge for a long time so its in need of some TLC.
Mechanically it seems in good order, starts and runs well with a nice engine note, all the gears work, hi and low and forward and reverse. The tin work is fair for a tractor of this age, it still has most of it anyway, and nothing that can't be repaired. A new set of tyres have made a big difference but there are a couple of issues I would like some advice on if anyone can help.
I am trying to find an original pattern seat, mine has completely rusted through and not repairable. Is there anyone in the UK that can supply one, I have struggled online to find a supplier.
Secondly my B6100 does not have any charging alternator or dynamo...is this correct? If not (and how can it be?) what would be a suitable replacement and where does it fit on the engine?
Hope there is some advice that might push me in the right direction.I have searched this forum but could not find any relevant answers so thought I might post this request.
Any help appreciated.
Tim
