I think this is what I am going to buy. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=9-7761&catname=hydraulic The one I have works but only has 2 spools. It is also not power beyond which I want. Also, I want to add an aux spool to operate things such as a grapple. I know it's not a high...

I finally got to play in the snow. All tolled after 4 days we had about 30" of snow. These pics are before the final foot of snow. Special thanks to my wife Nicole for all the great pics.

Well, i have been working 16 hour days lately so my contributions here have been small, sorry. But as a reward for all of my hard work for the past 2 weeks I was working on Tuesday until 9 pm and I didn't care because it was finally snowing. We had our first real snow since buying my tractor and...

Well, it seems I have some trouble with my clutch. Today was the first time I actually drove this tractor around since the day I bought in early December. Seems if my engine is turning any faster than a quick idle pushing in the clutch causes a terrible vibration and does not disengage the...

I'm at a cross roads... I have finally finished fabricating brackets (90%) to fit my loader to my tractor. Today for the first time I will put hydraulics to it and do an initial test. Today I can only hook up temporarily because I need to buy a new control valve because I do not have a power...

Vic, your articles and videos have made a world of difference to me in learning about my first Kubota tractor. Thank you for making them all available and your time spent answering questions on the forum.

This goes out to anyone who may know the answer... 1. Does anyone know the thread size on the hydraulic block on the B7100 HST-D? I'm sure it's the same as the D6100 and D5100. 2. I am mounting a loader and plan to feed the control valve from the hydraulic block. Does any know the best place...

I like the snow blade Dusty made for his tractorhttp://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=947, and i think I will make one for mine. But I was thinking.... I am going to be adding 2 grapple cylinders to my loader bucket this spring. Has anyone ever heard of mounting a blade to...

Okay, I bought a tractor recently, and although it's winter and the snow is falling, I am taking the time to do needed repairs in a proper fashion so I have a nice tractor, rather than just rush so I can scoop up some snow. Even though I know 100% that I will be clearing my driveway with the...

My steering box turned out to be home made out of a stock worm gear reducing box. I found a used steering box and bought rebuild parts except for the column because I already had the column. Which is lucky because I couldn't find a used column. Took apart the old steering system last night to...

Ok, I have a B7100 HST that has been poorly painted through the years. However, it has been painted and all the metal is in in credibly good condition. But if you look in my album, you will see the blue is completely wrong anyway. Part by part I will be stripping or sandblasting and repainting...

On a hunch that that Johnson built the B219 loader for Kubota, I ordered the cylinder rebuild kits for the B219 from my local Kubota dealer. Turns out the seals are exactly the same size as those on my Johnson 10tc loader. My question: The main rod seal gets sandwiched between 2 rubber washers...

On 12/4/09 I bought my first tractor, a B7100 HST-D. This thread will be a journal of all of the work I do to this tractor. My goal is not a complete restoration and wont always be with the original stock items, but it will be thorough and it will be nice. I found this site before making my...

:eek: Ok, can anyone tell me what this is? I just bought this (my first) tractor about 2 weeks ago. Mind you I know nothing about tractors, but I am mechanically inclined and pretty good at problem solving. While I am waiting for my service manual to come in I am working on what I can. I decided...

My work has begun on my tractor. My first order of business is making the brackets I need to attach the loader to my tractor. The loader is from a Bolens tractor. The guy I bought my tractor from started the project, I am finishing it. He said he thinks the loader is a Johnson. There are some...

Terrific forum. Thank you to those who made it possible. I am new to the forum and new to tractors. I just bought a B7100HST and I am wondering what I should do first or look for to help prolong it's life. Were there any short comings on this machine that I should pay particular attention to...
