well in my instance I was looking for an aftermarket solution to my leaking cylinders, were half what a genuine kubota cylinder was, but I ended up buying 4 rebuild kits online for like $25 (for all 4) took me about 15min a cylinder to do myself. mine were a little easier because there is just a...

check the wireing to the ignition switch as that is the tap for the meter on my b7100d. as for the year it was made i dunno if you have the SN wrong but it doesn't match up with anything on tractor data. look here for more info...

A local bearing company should be able to match something up, as long as you have the old one or the 2 parts they can usually match it up. did a local search in your area and you can try these places, dunno how close you are to any of them or if they will have what you need but worth a shot, or...

could be a head gasket, could be a freeze plug, could be a cracked block, chances aer its one of the first 2 but you won't know untill you tear it apart.

I've also seen rear main seals go from the engine just sitting and moistre gets between the seal and crank. Rust devlops and then when you start the engine it tears up the seal.

I don't believe mine is equipped with a front pto, there is a jackshaft connected by a chain coupler that runs the hydraulic pump but that's it. so far there isn't to much destroyed that I can't fix, you prob can't see it but I have a whole machine shop buried in there, have an old...

oh and please excuse the mess in the garage, once I finish up my restore I promised the wife i'd clean it up.

Hi, Ok so since I've seen a few treads started on restorations I figured i'd throw my hat in the ring, here are some pic's of my 1979 B7100D tractor that I am restoring. Story I got from the PO was that he picked it up in FL and brought it back to NY, decided it was to much work for him...

looking for a hood for a b7100D gear drive some dents ok, some rust ok, just no holes or giant rust spots, trying to avoid a major rebuild on my hood.

i'd say bolts came loose, some crap got in the gasket and then when they tried to fix it with silicone they mushed the crap into the gasket when it got tightend down. prob just needs to be taken off and a new gasket installed and put back together.

do yourself a favor and take apart the cam asembley there are 2 orings in there that might need to be replaced and it can also bennifet from a good coating of grease. I ended up having to heat and beat my cams out because everything was frozen up and the orings were bad, eventually I'll start a...

got it off, it took a whallop from my impact, but what I had to do was slice the drum a lil on the shaft then took a chisel and split it open a little. Got it to pull forward a lil so that I could get my power steering puller on it better. Then hit it with the impact till she slid off, fought...

trying to disassemble my brake system so i can put new pads on and replace the oil seal behind the drum, problem is that drum is frozen on tight, tried heat no good just soaked it in some pb blaster, tried using a power steering pully puller and it can't get a grip because the top part it...

if I am doubtful of a hydro line after I've done everything possible to make sure it has no pressure what I do is put a rag around it by either tying it on or i'll use a zip tie so that it is just below the nut on the hose. doesn't work everytime because sometimes there is just no room, but on a...

Glad it was a simple fix instead of splitting the tractor. I bought mine pretty much knowing it needed a rear main (was leaking at a good clip from the starter, but the price was right for the tractor) didn't mean to scare ya though.
