I have pulled the engine and changed the flywheel. I did a complete flywheel change as the used flywheel i installed had a good ring gear. Before I bolted the engine back into the tractor I installed (with temp bolts) a different starter to make sure I had good engagement and that the teeth of...

I did an engine swap this past spring on my B2100. The replacement engine has become harder and harder for the starter to engage. So before my vacation I pulled the starter and went through it and it appears to be in good condition. I did look inside the bell housing at the flywheel & ring...

Let me know when you decide to part with it

I have those on other tractors but I want the dash light to function if the Alternator fails

I would like to buy a DEAD Voltage Regulator for a B2100. Why Dead you ask? I want to cut off the 6 pin wiring connector with wires as long as possible to make an adapter loom to install a real alternator. And I am trying to ;ocate all the parts before tearing down the tractor again. Please...

I blew it out multiple times and eventually even replaced it.

Yes I have other machines to mow with and there is a part of me that says this fall and winter I am going to become a diesel mechanic, a gas engine doesnt scare me its just the unknown on this beast. But I have tools and a manual so I can start with pulling the head and find what lies ahead

After exhausting all the suggestions and the limited knowlege I have on Diesels I took the 2100 to the dealer. And..... All 3 cylinders have less than 150Lbs of compression. So either I junk it out for parts or locate a good used engine and learn how to split a Kubota and install another...

all 3l Glow Plugs glowed after about 4 seconds of 12V. So I again drained the fuel sump, and added agriculture Diesel fuel to the tank to dilute some of the auto diesel i had in there. It didnt take as long to start though it didn't start easily. And yes I had it hooked up to a strong battery...

When Warm and idling the breather hose is puffing a lot of exhaust not black or blue.

Taking the sage advice, I have gotten 2 glow plugs out and they both glow red battery voltage applied. The 3rd is being a challenge but it will get pulled and checked. If all 3 glow red I will go find the appropriate compression guage and fittings and go from there next

Thank you for the suggestions, as most of my life has been repairing Gas engines, do we simply pull the injectors for a compression test and does it require any unusual compression tester or will any work?

Good morning and I have a 2 fold q1uestion and wondering if they are related. My 2100 has 801 hours on it and the previous owner was not great about its ongoing maintenance. I have cleaned the fuel filter and its clean as a whistle, the air cleaner is out (only while in my shop and I do...

I rebuilt one spindle assy, and replaced the gearbox. I am beginning to question whether it was wise to have spent he money in doing all of that

I have the MMM RCK60-24B under my B2100 and the previous owner a Church didn't do as a great a job on regular maintenance as could have been done. So here is my question Does anyone know of a complete outer deck spindle assy that can be purchased as opposed to tearing down the old spindle and...
