    How Big a Bush Hog for a 50 hp Kubota 5030su?

    I volunteer for the Kentucky Humane Society Equine Rescue, and their farm has a Kubota 5030 on site. They want to start mowing their 30 acres of pasture rather than hire it out. So, need to shop for a used rotary mower. How large of a bush hog can that tractor take? (And I am assuming a bush hog...

    Hydraulic coupling unused for decades - how to Replace?

    The Humane Society has been using this old Kubota 5030 to spread manure and haul fenciing, etc. But has never used the hydraulics. Now they have an old Perfect W rotary mower with a swing arm that can cut under 4-board fences, but it has a hydraulic arm. So now I am trying to make the hydraulics...

    Seat Belts on a M5030su - Should There Be Some?

    I volunteer for the Kentucky Humane Society Equine Rescue, and they have a Kubota M5030 tractor (it came with the farm, I think). It has no seat belts. That series was made in the 90s, I believe. Should there not be some present? Or, is there a way to get some installed? Seems a safety issue to...

    Lost Air Cleaner Assembly Cap B7100

    Somewhere out there is my cap/cover to the air cleaner. It fell off, I drove over the inner part of it, but no sign of the outer clover that clips to the front of the assembly. I have walked the field a couple of times looking for it. West KY Tractor parts wants $150 to replace the whole...

    What is folks experience with ordering and replacing fuel injectors? I ordered replacement injectors for my B7100 from Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ET91XO0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 About $40 each. But it seems two of the three dump fuel into the...

    Looking for Looking: Implement for Snow Clearing with B7100

    I have about 1600 feet of driveway to clear this winter (if there is enough snow). I have a B7100. What would be the right implement? Front blade? Rear scraper blade? A front loader would be great, but way expensive. But I sure would consider one. We are in KY.

    Sudden Oil Leak in back of Engine B7100

    After a couple of years of perfect cleanliness, my B7100 HST has suddenly started leaking oil at a high rate off of the rear left side, mostly while running and hot. It can go through a pint in 3 hours while running. It seems to be below the head gaskets, and shows up in multiple drips off the...

    Kubota Wood Splitter PTO Auger Attachment - Safe?

    I have just obtained a wood splitter auger that attaches to my 3 pt hitch and PTO on my. Anyone have experience with these? I hear they call them "widow makers" (I can see why). But I also hear they are great at splitting wood. This one seems very minimal, without frame, foundation, etc. I...

    RC60-71B Mower Deck Tensioner Not Taking Grease

    Advice Needed: Just doing spring maintenance on my mower, and I can't get grease to go into the tensioner pulley (see picture). I pulled the zerk, and grease goes through it, but when I put it back on, nothing flows. Old dried grease in there? Do I take it off (nut on top) - and if so, how and...

    Gear Box Lub on Kubota Belly Mower

    I have a B7100 with a RC60-71B belly mower on it. I have figured out all the grease points (I think), but am wondering how the main gear box that attaches to the PTO gets its lubrication refreshed. Is it a reservoir? Where is the plug? How much oil? Gear oil? Hydrostatic fluid? Attached is a...

    Stripped bolts on underbelly attachments?

    On the left side of my B7100, where underbelly attachments would bolt to the tractor, two of three bolts seem stripped in such a way that I can neither remove them or tighten them. They are a different sort of bolt, however. They just spin in place right now, and I can't get either the nut nor...

    What is this part from B7100 Right Front?

    Here is a picture of something on my tractor that I do not know what it is or does. It is attached to the right front of the tractor. I am sure most of you know what it is. What is it?

    How much oil in B7100HST front gear case?

    I am changing all fluids in my newly acquired B7100HST 4WD (1980), and the manual I have found (hard to find for HST) calls for .15L in each side of the front wheel gear case. That's a little more than 1/2 cup per side. But when I drained out the existing oil, I got a full cup out of the left...

    D750 on a B7100 - Leaking Fuel Lines to Injectors

    Have a 1982 B7100 HST with a D750 engine. Has been doing two things - bubbles coming up at the base of the middle injector (even after I replaced the copper washer there), and worse, leaking diesel at the top of that middle injector - the connector is very rough to the touch (how would it get...

    Fuel leaking past 2 of three injectors on b7100

    I have a b7100, new to me, and in two of three injectors, fuel seems to bubble up where they thread to the head (see pics below). Tried first time to mow and ran out of fuel after 2 hours (thinking it leaks more than it burns). Bleed the injector lines and started right back up. Looks like...
