Well guys I always read a lot, but don't post a lot. I just changed the B20 over to SUDT2. First time in its life. And noticed quieter hst whine already! All this machine ever does is hoe and front loader work since new. We'll see how it goes! Didn't work it hard yet!

Hi John, Mine is always about three and a half. That 4.1 is more for a dry engine. A lot of capacities are over done!

Those are all good ideas ! My B20 has a turbo swing also . What I learned through practice years ago was I multi-function as I swing. As in roll out bucket or extend dipper while im swinging or all at once. Helps a lot! Tames down swing speed a lot. Just got used to it that way! Practice that if...

Happy Veterans day to all!

Well im glad you got it. Its not an easy job for sure,either way.

Another easy way is a link belt. Some have tried them but don't no how long they last. I chose not to.

Well its a real job unless you loosen up the front pump. I did it by removing the flex plates right behind the pump and squeezed and forced the belt flat ways up through. Was a real pain. Not much room to work up in there! But I did get it on .

Well mine is a little bad looking also,but its about the directional valve on the hydraulic block. It should be turned fully clockwise with FEL attached,if you don't have a FEL its set at fully counterclockwise.

Yes! Back in the seventies we used Mobil premium in all coleman stuff! Never a problem. Still have the lantern and stoves!

Well first I would check your linkage underneath. Been in any brush lately! Could be some under there. Or bent linkage.Ive had that already.

I buy at local Kubota dealer for most things.My machine is a 1996 B20 TLB. This year I spent less than 100.00 dollars, on motor oil and filter and few new pins. Not bad!

Hi Wolfman, How could you get algae so fast when some can sit for a year and have none. I just don't understand the whole algae thing, I haven't had that problem yet! Don't want to either!

I agree with you guys also. I think your machine should be at its capacity. When I bought my B20 I thought it should have more hydraulic strength. Turns out when I checked the pressure it was at 1600#. Should be around 2000#. So I shimmed it to around 2100 to 2200#. Wow that turned it into a...

If its a dynamo, its an easy redo. Bearings cost 12 dollars when I did mine last year. Not a hard job!

Hi guys, I think Wolfman sounds right. As for clutch, when you push it in you should have no HST function! You can put it in 4 wheel drive without pushing clutch just neutral the HST pedal. the same for changing ranges. Not sure about pto. My hoe is never off, I just dig.
