I am gearing to up rebuild the front axle on my B6000 but I have a few questions. First is I’m wondering if anyone knows whether or not the knuckle ball ends on the axle housing should be painted or left raw metal? My second is if anyone knows if the universal joints can be substituted with...

I know it’s an old thread but for anyone looking for one of these decals this one is pretty close substitute. https://www.messicks.com/parts/kubota/66428-47380

I’ll give it some thought but I’ve still got to build the front loader itself so I’ve got a little while to get the hydraulics sorted.

Thanks for all the input, but since I have a relatively limited set of skills and tools needed for making custom fixtures I think I will at least try the idea that north Idaho wolfman pitched because if it’s relative simplicity. If it doesn’t look like it’s going to work I will likely then opt...

The shaft would not clear the radiator, that would’ve been my first idea but there isn’t enough clearance up front and I don’t really want to modify anything to make it fit. I’ll probably just end up going with the belt driven pump, but the side load isn’t something I thought about.

I will try to post pictures and updates as they happen but this will probably take a few months.

Well that solution seems pretty obvious now that it’s staring me in the face. Well that solution seems pretty obvious now that is staring me in the face.

An idea I’ve had would be to get some sort of a dual belt pulley that has the same keyed shaft diameter to replace the crank pulley. But I’m not sure if the crank shaft is beveled or if this would interfere with the harmonics of the engine or if there would be any other issues that would arise.

I don’t have the serial number right now unfortunately but based on the fact that the labels and decals are all different in Japanese and things like rice paddle tires and various other clues I’m fairly confident this is grey market. But if I remember next time I’m out to where I’m keeping the...

I just recently bought a b6000 tractor that gives all the signs of being a great market machine. I bought it with the idea of building a small front loader and backhoe combo to go on it. The thing that I’m getting hung up on right now is how to mount an extra pump to it. By what I’ve been able...

The loader does have its own pump and reservoir that was run off of the pto but I’m thinking that the spool valve would be open center so I could plumb it into the tractor if I wanted. But when I can get back out to the loader I will post some pictures.

Maybe, but the problem is there aren’t many used tractors for sale in my area that are remotely in my price range.

I’m not sure of the make and model, I couldn’t find any identifying information on the loader. At I know is that it came off of a Massey Ferguson tractor, but is more than likely not a Massey Ferguson loader.

I have a L245DT that I bought and love but would love it more if it had a front loader. There is a fellow I know that has a complete front loader of an unknown make and model that he would give me for free. The problem is the loader is too large for the tractor and likely much too heavy. My...

I’ve been looking at trying to get some rear remotes to my L245DT. My question is where can I tap into my existing system and where the return can or should go. On the left side down below the seat is some sort of hydraulic component with a plug in it that I’m wondering if I could connect there...
