Humm... with as many old HSTs getting tired... I would have thought this a little more common solution than maybe it is. Just gulls me that I paid 2551 (plus 200 to deliver) on ebay for a tractor, that in the cool of the fall of 09 the hydro works just fine when my wife went and test drove it...

You know... never really looked there for a neutral gate... don't really think it has detented one... but it may not need to be held there hard and fast. I'll check that if I do just repair/replace this hydro unit.

Thanks... and I understand your point... and under other designs your probably right. But here's what I've noticed: - the hydro unit is a "bolt on" to the rear end... it simply drives a pinion via its output shaft. - the hydro unit itself is shaft driven from the engine and flows through a...

Hello all. Curiosity... I have a B6100 4x4 HST with a weak hydro... slips when warm. But since its missing any kind of a neutral lock/speed control, it also is an accident waiting to happen if I repair this hydro. If one needs to get off to do whatever... one is not interested in having to...

though I'd post this question by itself... For some of you more experienced in the older Kuboata HSTs... Its a long story... and the tractor is 1534 miles away at the minute as I am working away right now. I will be going home for Thanksgiving and want to run a full series of pressure tests...

Yea, but I had instructed the local one man shop who initially went through (and did a good job) it to take it to the dealer since he was having difficulty in finding what was needed on fittings to run the pressure tests... At any rate... even though the tech quoted numbers (from memory) as...

Ok... just seems impossible to get good info... I took the tractor to our closest local dealer for pressure tests... he cite's pressures as low, but the numbers he verbally could remember were high according to my manual (he's young and used to more modern higher pressure systems). But he did...

B6100HST Hydrostat problems, update Hello again all. Well, I finally got home to Ohio and saw this B6100HST for the first time in person. Its as I thought overall, runs well, but still have HST issues. I took it into our local Kubota dealer and the pressure tests were border line cold and...

"Are you sure you want to go down that road with those bumpy tires, new or used?" What if you soften the ride by running lower tire pressure by a few pounds. Instead of running 12 psi on Dads 15.5-38s we ran 8 psi... for increased traction due to a slightly larger footprint. I also lowered...

Cool. I don't know what the originator of this thread will do. But I'd heard of CADplans once before but didn't get a chance to visit. I'm pretty sure they will be getting a fel plans order from me for my B6100HST 4x4. Lots of other neat stuff too...including backhoe for CAT 1 3point. Dave

I'm considering a G2000 snow blade that was made for the G5200 and G6200...and was wondering how it would handle my B6100HST 4x4. It is the correct width and I can build bracketry to adapt, asumming it can clear the front diff. From pictures only it looks a little light duty though... just...

Thanks Vic. Already did the generic cooler... but I was glad to hear "OK w/o it", but you know it would have run hotter.... maybe just mowing didn't hurt it then. Doesn't appear it ever had a FEL. It will eventually... Were just having troubles figuring out why its acting the way it is...

What kind of damage would one expect from the moisture? Any particular item (valve, regulator, pump, motor etc...) that it would tend to hurt more than another? The guys working on my B6100 HST reported some water but not a lot. We do not know how long this tractor sat around before I bought...

Hi all again... this is the same B6100HST I asked about in the earlier B6100 HST problems post. But this time I have a specific question. This tractor came to me with the trans cooler removed and a simple hydra hose in its place. It is unknown how long it was operated this way. I fully...

Upon researching my B6100... I noticed the B7100 had a couple more hp but were otherwise almost identical. When the time comes to rebuild this D650 I have... can it be overbored to the 2.625 bore the D750 is and use the D750 rods and pistons? Or are the blocks and cyl wall thicknesses, cranks...
