Gents, My B7100 has been a good work horse until I noticed that the pump started spraying fluid all over a few weeks ago. Brought it in to work on it recently and I'm having a hellova hard time locating a replacement pump. It's bad enough when the shaft is 9/16" when it's more common to see...

I replaced & modified my B219 to accommodate a new bucket & cylinders that were also replaced because one cylinder was damaged already and finding a replacement was impossible. Since I have the other good working cylinder, i have no need for this nor do I want to toss it, I'd like to see if...

I'm at my wit's end. When I acquired my tractor at the beginning of this year, I rebuilt my steering box carefully and had to get a new steering shaft from eBay because the old had worn down bearing raceways. The new rebuild lasted about 25 hours before it started acting up. I tore it down and...

I came across a Kubota engine in another machine that the owner was looking to get rid of. I was wondering what the market is for such used engines? I believe it's a D750 and the operating condition is unknown.

Despite my best effort to rebuild the steering box after reading the articles here and looking at different posts, I still got the annoying "snap" in the steering and decided to replace the shaft. I ordered one from eBay and when I tried reinstalling it carefully, it just wouldn't sit in all...

Gonna add a grapple and would like to know what quick disconnect size should I order. 1/4", 3/8", 1/2"? Any particular brand / style? The tractor is 17 hp so I'd imagine the 1/4" is plenty? I want to be able to mount one set at a fixed position on the loader and could use some advice as to...

I'm looking to replace them with 12" strokes since I'm already planning to modify a replacement bucket I got for $50. The slightly extra length would allow me to have the bucket curl up a little more at ground level yet still dump at an elevated position. I will be modifying the cylinder end...

I'm in the market for a box blade but am having a difficult time trying to decide which to get in terms of value & ruggedness. I'd love to walk into Northerntool and plunk down up to $600 bucks for a quality box blade but I live across the country and shipping is the killer! There is one on...

As an emergency vehicle upfitter by trade, it comes naturally that I wanted electrical power just because I can! I do plan to use it to run lights from the headlights (not OEM!) and flood lights on the ROPS. Warning lights will also be added as I'll use it to clear snow on the street as the...

Not mine, saw this on CL in my area. (Spokane, WA) It's a BEAUTIFUL machine & well cared for. The hood is still shiny! Many close-up pictures to view. http://spokane.craigslist.org/grd/3621480403.html And detailed pictures...

Guys, I need to know if I should get an electrically operated 3rd function valve or a diverter valve from my bucket outputs to operate an add-on grapple to my old bucket. Diverter valve: http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?catname=hydraulic&qty=1&item=9-7852 I've already ordered this...

Before you say anything, I DID look around here for answers but they all come back to the ol' "buy it from your dealer". Have you seen the parts illustration on their site? It looks like it's a copy of a copy of a copy, 25 times over and I don't have the foggiest where 2/3rd of the stickers go...

During my moderate overhaul of my tractor, I worked on the steering issue as there was some play. After reading about how problematic these steering boxes are, I decided to do some PM. I was surprised to see that there were NO oil coming out of the drain when I started it! Turns out after...

Thought you'd might get a kick out of this... Saw this at Costco in Spokane

Just quit dreaming and finally went "orange" when I found this 1979 B7100DT tractor on Craigslist here in eastern WA. For cheap, like cheap (just 20 Ben's!) He didn't even know what model it was so I took the serial number & saw through the painted decal (and later found the model on the left...
