Thank you Russell, I appreciate your suggestion. NO that pin would not work. That pin appears to be about 4" long. The pin I need would be longer. It would need to have a shaft with a minimum 5-3/8" in length from the top of the pin to the hole to secure the pin. I'm hoping someone...

Hello Guys, Can anyone provide me with the correct part # for the Attachment Pin I need for Kubota Drop Drawbar- BL6820 being used with Clevis Kit- LMX6800. This drawbar is used for LX, L, MX, tractors. I have not had much luck finding the correct Pin for this configuration. So far the Pins...

Digging up an old post... Thanks Greg for identifying the issue and asking the question, including the drawing too. GREG: I made a quick drawing detailing the 2 possible layouts of the seals. If anyone can shed some light on which layout will be the correct one it would be most helpful and...

Thanks Russell, Yeah they seem fine. Minimal wear on the pins visible. They have a nice snug fit but allow movement along the length of the pin. Also sway bars, turnbuckles and connecting points do not appear stretched or deformed in any way. I'm going to try to find some 1" ID HD washers...

Lil Foot, Thank you so much. That may have been my issue as I always find something that needs correction or to be added. Now that I know the process I will be more careful. 👍 Also thank you for the complement. I have enjoyed having this rig for the last 37 years. My needs have changed and...

Torch, Thank you so much, for the info on the toplink bracket. I did check it out. Very interesting. When we got the tractor back from the Kubota dealer back in 1986 (who is no longer in business since the early 1990's) we noticed that the top link was a very weak point in the setup. We...

Ok, I hear you. Please forgive me for not posting that this is not a new install. Sorry I was not providing more details. The B7100-D was built in 1980. I purchased it in 1985. In 1986 I purchased this backhoe and had it installed by a local Kubota Dealer. At that time the only choices...

Guys, I'm sorry about the photos splitting my text. I do not know what happened. I added the two photos after all the text was posted, but somehow they seem to split the text up. Sorry, Dan

Hi Guys, I need your input. I need to know how to properly adjust the turnbuckle sway bars on my 3 point hitch for use with my backhoe application. The B7100-D has a ARPS 70 Backhoe on it. It is a very heavy, beefy, unit that uses a rigid 3 point mounting system. The current adjustment...

Wow, Good to know. Thank you. Now that the snow plowing seems to be over, I have been doing all the annual service, lube, filters, what ever it needed etc. Trying to prepare it for a season of use or for the right price a sale. I also had all the Isinglass replaced in all the enclosure...

I hear what you are saying. I wish it were that easy. My needs are different now and can not use the attachments I need on the B7100-D. I now need to use a Grapple, Box Blade & Rotary Mower, in addition to the Loader & Backhoe. That’s why I want to upgrade. I’m not getting any younger. I figure...

Wolfman, As a side note, when I purchased the backhoe I was told that the ARPS 70 is the same unit that is placed on the back of the HD Utility trucks for the Gas Utility Companies in my area. They used to mount the units on the left rear corner of this type of truck.

Thanks Wolfman, I really appreciate your input. I am trying to do a reality check, to see what others on this forum, that know Kubota's especially this old model would say. The Backhoe, Rims and Tires are worth something for sure. I did not think 2000 hours is too high. I feel it has a lot of...

Hey Wolfman & Hokie's, The Tires are TITAN Trac Loader Front: 23x8.50 - 12 SS Rear: 12 - 16.5 NHS Many years ago, the owner of my local Kubota Dealer did all the research and sourcing of the tires and rims for me. It took a while for him to get it together. He had to have a machine shop...
