I have a third function valve switch on the loader joystick to open and close a grapple and angle a snow plow. It's an expensive fragile switch. it either fell apart or a limb hit it and broke the switch cover. There is a white cover on it, or it used to be on it. When it is depressed it lights...

Thanks Dave. That will work.

Replacing the MMM belt on a B2650. I can't figure out the tension pulley spring. What's the best way to get the new belt back on the tension spring?

I've learned of the evils of using ether from the people on this website. I recently bought a new Chevy pick up truck. I was surprised to see a warning sticker on the engine cowling to not use ether on a diesel truck engine.

I got the spacers that Kubota offers. They're either 1 3/8" or 1 5/8." The chains might have just made it. The extra links at the end are the problem. I didn't want to cut them off. I didn't want to tear the fender up if something went wrong in the future either. I got the Aquiline MPC chains...

Re: B6100 Low OIL Pressure Fix I'm waiting for delivery on an orange one at Harbor freight too...

I have a B2650. I wanted chains so I wanted spacers. Kubota's website said the 60" MMM would interfere with the rear tires if you used spacers... I was where you are now. I figured I'd put them on for winter and take them off for mower use. I got Kubota spacers and got my chain clearance on the...

I believe Tractor Supply sells the "normal" lynch pins and the black ones that they say have a stronger spring.

I've never even thought of raising a tractor. Most everything is accessible from one side or the other. I've never had a tractor with a cab. Maybe that makes a difference. I do use a hydraulic jack to lift the front end a couple inches to make it easier to slide the mmm deck out. I use a jack...

I've plowed a quarter mile long driveway for about 32 years with a rear blade. I've done all combinations of using the tractor in forward and reverse with the blade turned forwards and backwards. It's worked good enough. The driveway has evolved from all gravel to all asphalt over the years...

I have a long steep asphalt drive. Hills up in both directions. Chains are a pain to put on, take off and worry about damaging the asphalt. I can always plow downhill, sometimes uphill. If there's ice i can usually plow downhill but can't get back up to the house. Sometimes it's just wet under...

Yes, chain clearance is imperative for winter plowing. I have a steep drive with R4 tires. I can plow without chains most of the time. I might even be able to get through all winter. But, there will be that day or two a year that you can't do it without chains. At best you're ineffective, at...

Not really a big deal, but if it happened to me it'll probably happen to you... There is a light gauge metal bar behind the seat. The tool box is mounted on it. I noticed it was loose. The left side nut had come loose and fallen off. The right side nut was loose but still there. Replaced the...

I have a 2650. Sometimes it shifts and sometime it will not shift. I have found that if I turn off the engine it shifts easily.

When I was tractor shopping last fall all the smaller tractors had suspended mower decks up to and including a B2610. I ended up with the B2650 to get the ground contact mower. There isn't much difference in price between suspended decks and contact decks. My old B2100 had a ground contact and...
