I bought a bobcat 743 a few months ago that needed some work, the main problem was that is smoked black smoke very bad constantly. I replaced injectors and fuel filters no improvement. so I pulled the injection pump off to find it was dirty and had at least 2 stuck plungers, after cleaning it up...

Ok so I have done some more research and have some more questions. When plumbing the hydraulics I add the diverter block that runs fluid from the pump through the loader controls and then to the 3pt hitch, when I plumb from the valve back to the 3pt hitch does that need to come from the open...

Ok so I can use compression fittings, that make it a bit easier. I'm not very well versed in hydraulic circuits so forgive my ignorance. I need a bypass valve between the pressure and suction line where I T off for the FEL? And can I just use a T that goes to a quick attach?

That's what it is. Torch you are a life saver! If I cut the old pipe do I just flair it and add the block in? Do you happen to know the diameter of the pipe? I will know myself soon enough when I cut it to add a block but I would like to know I have the right size flair tool. I don't see bolt...

do you have a few pictures of the hydraulics block? and where it goes. all my 6100 has is what looks like a banjo bolt on the top and bottom of the hydraulic pump going back to the 3pt hitch. i don't see where you would add the block. also a foe dimensions for the block would help me make one too.

ok I see now. how many inches of travel did your lift cylinders have? I am looking at a set that have 14.25 inches but I'm not sure it will be enough. I plan to measure on my build to be sure before I buy anything but a ball park would be nice to know.

wow torch your build has already helped a ton and i haven't even started yet! i didn't see any pictures of sub frame as lil foot mentioned is that because the 7100 is built different, or is it not a big concern? or is it because yours is 4x4?

Thank you for all the information. I did not know about the subframe situation so I will be sure I get that right! Looking at it it makes perfect sense. I have read some information that Kubota sells a block for the b6100s that would allow you to tap into the hydraulic pump already on it and I...

I picked up a b6100 a week or so ago and want to add a front end loader on it. I plan to build it myself and have a few questions. Number one is what kind of lift capacities an I expect? Second is do will the pump off the back of the injection pump run a loader? No need to be fast but need it to...
