Could you have overfilled the trans? Next time while doing the blowing, plug the vent line outlet with your finger. Dave

Another trick which has helped some is to use a shop vac on the blow setting and pressurize the transmission thru where you added oil with the engine running. Suction air leaks usually do not involve fluid leaking out which is why they are so hard to find Dave

If you followed Kohler's instructions and their motor does not work, this means in their world you have determined the problem lies with the motor so stop checking anything on the machine. Did you download and read the Kohler WSM that I provided the link for? What happened when you removed the...

I have a Toro with a Kohler Engine. I always find Kohler's web site is very useful when it comes to no start situations. Kohler CV742 service manual Kohler recommends you break the connector which ties the engine to the equipment. In that connector is a white wire which is the 'KILL" wire for...

David I make this comment because I worry too much. If your log pulling is placing loads on your tractor above the level of the draw bar you may run the risk of the tractor flipping over backwards if a log snags on a stump. Would "wheelie bars" be a possible addition? Dave

Nice work! Since you are working with solid material, do you do anything to get welds which involve the complete cross section of the steel pieces? I am not a welder but have been watching this Australian fixing a big bulldozer blade and am amazed at the tricks he uses to do the repairs...

What model of B7100 do you have......HST or manual transmission. 4x4? Go to this site and download the Workshop manual for your tractor. It will show you where components are plus has excellent wiring diagram Books On the B7100 HST model I do not see either a fuse nor a relay in the starting...

My experience has been that once the blade starts spinning, it elongates the blade hole and no amount of Belleville washers and torque can keep the blade tight. Try a new blade and blade bolt and with the proper washers your problem will be solved Dave

It is time to learn about BELLEVILLE washers. Wkipedia has an excellent article about the many ways washers can be oriented to achieve different results. BELLEVILLE Dave

Plse see if these instructions help Dave

I am sorry i did not make myself clear. If you use the lift arm cylinders to extend on some machines they push the loader away from the tractor thus freeing it up. Since you have 7 posts you are eligible to post photos. Do so as it will make your situation much easier to understand. Dave

What happens if you try and extend the loader arm cylinders using the loader hydraulics after everything is disconnected? Dave

Do you want the manual? Dave

I have managed to obtain and Operators' Manual for the loader Using the envelope symbol in top right corner send me a private message with your email. I will then send you a link to download the manual. Never post your email in the public area of the form Dave

Found this in the WSM. Just the illustration no text at all Dave
