Can anyone confirm what I was told by my local Kubota dealer that ROPS for the B7100 are no longer available? I find it odd but it is OLD,

Rebuilding the gearbox on my Loftness snowblower glad I did the bearings were headed for a failure

Good day all I’m in search of a ROPS for my B7100 gear I’m in NY if anyone has of knows any thank you.

Decided that just replacing the yoke and obviously a new u joint would be the best option at this point nice to have the sounding board with more experience thank you all. This is the yoke I went with hopefully it works out Indeed it does 😁👍hopefully it arrives Saturday. Waiting on bearings...

I have the rubbers on my 28” snowblower impeller works great I’ll look into that for this monster, I’ve got a front blade on it so a few inches isn’t an issue, yeah need to get chains on mine too my driveway isn’t long but it’s pretty steep

I just posted a few pics hopefully it clarifies what I’m trying to convey

Maybe this will help the 4th image is where the ball bearings were the 2nd are the balls they were dull grey like they were not lubed the 3rd is where the detente ball that’s stuck is

Well 3 at least now haha, water in a u joint when I got it greased and the yoke ball bearings also very rusty but very well could be the right move I don’t know if those loose ball bearings are available as a replacement part I guess is what I was thinking. Yes cleaned them both up and they...

good morning question is im trying to get the pto shaft working again theres a detente ball in the female end of the pto coupler thats frozen I unbolted the flange and took out a 3rd bolt in the side of the flange and after soaking it a bit ball bearings fell out of that 3rd hole and of course...
