    B7100: Save or Part?

    Wow that thing has been beaten like a rented mule! I think it would be best used as a parts donor for another tractor in better shape. In my opinion I would put just enough time into it to see what actually works so you would have a better idea of it’s condition but I don’t think I would try...

    Power steering L2900DT

    Finally got the cylinder off and rebuilt. I also figured out that my tractor is older than the one in the parts illustrations. I was missing a zerk fitting on the pin in the bell crank assembly. I can see why there was a redesign of this part. This pin and bushings were the only ones showing...

    Power steering L2900DT

    Thanks Kenonf, the lines don’t look like they will be a problem to get off but I was wondering about the pins that hold the steering cylinder on. I see the locking plates that hold them in but was wondering which direction to knock them out. I took the tie rods off last night and plan to take...

    Power steering L2900DT

    My steering cylinder went out yesterday so now its in need of a rebuild. Does it drop out the bottom of the tractor or do I have to remove the battery and radiator assembly to get access to it from the top side? I really need to order myself a shop manual for this tractor. Thanks for any help...

    Kubota Orange Paint

    Repainted my B7100d 2 years ago with the rustoleum Kubota orange paint and then bought the blue for the engine frame and transmission from the kubota dealer. This tractor has mainly been parked under a shelter when not in use. One side is noticeably faded compared to the other side. I had some...

    Electrical gremlins in my L2900

    I inherited a I think 1998 model L2900DT a few weeks ago. The tractor had been sitting up for some time. I preformed a full service on it changing the fluids and filters. Everything mechanical seems to function correctly except for the electrical system. The tractor will start with the key...

    Zd21 pto appears to be frozen

    Thank you for your help Lug bolt and whitetiger. The rod was stuck in the case. A few light taps with the wrench and a few shots of pb blaster the rod was freed up. I removed and cleaned the rod, replaced the Orings and lubed it up before reinstalling. I can now turn the blades on with just...

    Zd21 pto appears to be frozen

    I think you are right Dusty. It doesn’t seem to be a common problem. I checked with my sister in law who runs the parts dept at the local Kubota dealer. She asked her shop people and called a couple of other dealers as well. She only found one other case of this happening. It appears to be...

    Zd21 pto appears to be frozen

    I picked up a new to me zd21 mower the other day that has been doing a lot of sitting. I was told that its between 15-20yrs old. Mower only has 227 hrs on meter. I serviced the engine and it runs great however the pto lever will not move so I can’t engage the blades. Has any else run into this...

    B7200 rear rims, need help!

    https://www.agrisupply.com/implement-wheel/p/26308/ That’s the rim I was looking at before I found another tractor I could salvage the rear rims from for mine. They matched up

    B7100d

    The kubota dealers have more parts available than they know about. I picked up a set of front turf tires and rims off of my brother in law***8217;s bx2350. He bought new tires and rims as an assembly when he needed new tires for his tractor. The rims had the correct measurements for my B7100D...

    Hood

    you might want to try mid-south salvage or west Kentucky salvage as a possible source for the hood. A new one if Kubota still has any in stock will run you somewhere near $700. That's just the basic shell no lights, stickers or anything. The hood off of the 245 is shaped different so it...

    b7100 injector pump leaking

    Thanks guys! I was hoping it would be that simple but after looking at the parts break down I wasn't sure. I was just wondering about the "boo boos" I might encounter. Hokie, it is the one closest to the radiator but I plan to do like Cat mentioned and replace all 3 provided nothing else flew...

    L175 Draining Transmission Fluid

    Chances are if the tractor hasn't been repainted the drain plugs should still be painted red. Most of the B and L series tractors I remember about that ones age had the red plugs in them from the factory. I think Darren is correct, 4 sounds like the right number. I think I remember the L...

    b7100 injector pump leaking

    Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I started up my tractor today and noticed a leak on my injector pump. I couldn't find anything loose. The fuel leak appears to be coming from between the big nut and the top of the injector pump itself. I cleaned off the entire injector pump...

    Gray Market lift problems

    I had a old craftsman tractor that had a similar set up. I took the switch assembly to Squires Auto Generator on Heritage St. in Kinston. They were able to track down some parts to put it back together. That was several years ago. Or you can try All pro hydraulics on hwy 11 across from...

    L1500 seat upgrade

    that's a pretty good price on the seat. I have been watching that one for some time now at a few other stores and most of them are about $20-$30 higher. Northern Tool carries a suspension base that might work on that seat. If not I know they have other seats made for it. You might want to...

    B7100 Fuel Filter

    I had one do that before too. It was boxed wrong. I took it back and exchanged it.

    Need some mower advice

    The photo was taken after installing the gator blades. I can't find any currently made for a woods. The land pride blades are the same length and center hole size. Only difference is the have a little more offset to them. Also discovered another source for parts for this deck. John Deere...
