    First unread message - revisited

    To pick up on another thread, I find the 'view first unread' will take me to the first unread message, but the definition of unread is a problem. I think we all prefer to have that feature, and it is no trouble to click there after opening the thread. Sometimes I like to reread the initial...

    Great tractor, not so great operator

    There was a thread a while back about shop 'moments' but this is strictly tractor related. Finally got some snow this week, but it ended up being very wet and heavy, slushy ice underneath. We have an uphill driveway, with one spot on a bit of a side slope. Everybody here knows that if you lose...

    requesting battery code help

    The Interstate Battery web sites indicate the B series mostly use a group 51 battery, which is 9 3/4 long and 5" wide. The battery in the B7001 measures 9 x 4 3/4 x 9, which does not look right. However, the battery has the code 50B24l stamped on it, and I picked this up from another thread...

    German connection for Kubota engines

    The other day I was in the local Kubota dealer getting the usual excellent parts department treatment. (Shameless plug for Avenue Equipment). The parts guy pulled out the B7001 parts manual - no problem with grey market. It was quiet so he started talking a bit - asked me if I knew about the...

    hot wiring a B7001

    Somehow the remaining key for this beast disappeared last week, probably somewhere under the snow, and I'll find it in the spring. Just to confirm a few things that seem logical. First, you don't need the ignition turned on to start or run it. No electrical items, but likely the battery will...

    battery charge circuit B7001

    The battery on this beast has reached the point where it won't hold a charge overnight, so that is a straight forward replacement. Before I put I new one in. I would appreciate a bit of info about the charge circuit so I know if it needs an overhaul at the same time. 1 - I understand this is an...

    post hole auger

    There are 3 farm auctions coming up soon, and the thing I want (but probably don't really need) is a post hole auger. I was wondering how big a unit my B7001 can handle well, both length and diameter. Any special point to watch for wear? Better to rent one for a few weeks? There are the usual...

    transporting a b7001

    This unit lists at 475 kg, or about 1100 lbs. With the loader and counterweight, I would guess that it is just over 1500 lbs. It is certainly small enough to fit in my F-250, so the only issue is loading it. I have a pair of aluminum ramp brackets, which claim to be rated at 750 lbs each when...

    small scale road building

    I have an ex pasture area about 300 feet square on a mild to moderate slope. I want to build a set of gravel wheelchair paths up, down, across, and diagonally. The paths should be about 3 to 4 feet wide. My 3 point hitch is on order (thanks Vic), so what kind of scraper or box blade would be...

    B7001 questions

    I have a set of questions about my B7001, so I'll post them one at a time. There is a decompression lever just left of the steering column withthe word "stop" on it. I can see no wat to shut off the fuel feed, and other postings suggest that you should not use the decompression lever to stop...
