For anyone needing a BOM for new replacement seals for their 1640 loader with the earlier serial numbers < S/N 24005472, considering the Kubota parts are all discontinued and old stock is dwindling quickly, here’s my list. Seals were all purchased from Mechanics Bliss, linked above. I believe...

Thanks Wolfman. I haven’t tried to remove the FEL. I mean, who would want to just install the mower and not remove the Loader to do so? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I’ve been doing some research, even found some of your old posts in similar (for B7200HST). This may relegate my B-series to just being a FEL...

I have a B1640 FEL (not an”A”). Not sure if that was a good or bad thing…

Yup. I even found a great supplier or replacement hydraulic seals (vs unavailable or fast-dwindling Kubota kits) to rebuild the cylinders. Mechanics Bliss, Worcester, MA You'd be surprised what stuff build 30+ years ago can still do, and what barns still have inside them that can work with a...

Correct sir! And still available. Awesome find. Any idea if that could work (or relatively easily modified to) from the front? Not sure how hard to fab an extension for the PTO shaft, or if the front-mount was a completely different beast from the rear-mount. I'm guessing some bracketry also...

Thanks Ron and Hokie. I don't have FB of my own, stalk using my wife's. Unfortunately a lot of scams on FB as well, plus I don't get the input from folks like yourself (good deal / bad deal). Already had a PM from a scam artist, is the best way to "report" the thread from the PM? I was taken...

Looking for implements for my dad's B6200-HSTD tractor he left me. Just replaced all the hydraulic seals on the FEL, now time to get some implements to put it to work. Prefer a mid-mount mower deck (and whatever else needed) vs rear. Not sure if they need a mule drive? Snowblower prefer a...

So I know this thread is old, but I figured I'd give the original author his due. Thank you sir, your effor is paying dividends a decade later! I have my dad's old B6200 HST-D with B1640 FEL from the 80s and the bucket was drifitng down (in curl). Really annoying when loading wood and...
