I'd say that's a great donor machine. I think you'd get too deep spending into bringing it back to life. Unfortunately the hacked and damaged parts are scrap, but it has the loader and is a great source of parts for other 100 models out there, which are becoming harder to find.

Best bet would be to dig through some parts schematics to get an idea. Site I prefer to search is: https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/ A lot of clicking and digging to be done but you'll most likely find what you need there

Interested! But what's the location?

Attached are a couple photos for reference

Hey everyone, Looking for the bracket to locate the hydraulic control valve near the battery. This was found with the 748B snowblower for the b5100, b6100, and b7100. Currently I have the older layout that put the valve on the fender, while it works, the lines running by the floorboards is...

Any B-x100 (5100, 6100, 7100) parts? Thanks

I believe poly just replaces the steel blade. Rubber would probably be a better material for what you're doing so it can flex around obstacles. The rubber tends to be the shortest lasting though from what I've read. But it will also act like a squeegee. Or What about trying some PVC pipe...

I'm going to give it a try come warmer weather. Really nothing to lose but a lot to potentially gain. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/does-tire-grooving-really-work.43707/

I'm not too familiar with the larger sized tractors but may also want to check out Massey Ferguson if you have a dealer within reasonable distance. Back when I was shopping I liked masseys offering that was similar to kubotas grand l60 series. But I didn't need that much tractor so went to a...

Check the woods PRD6000 for a better comparison... weight is close. 8 gauge deck vs the 7 of the bush hog, but it has a reinforced deck lip which is nice, not sure about Bush hog. https://woodsequipment.com/products/finish-mowers/rear-mount-mowers/prd6000/ Also may want to think about leaving...

I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat parts wise with my '77 7100 which doesn't pass the tests for having a factory over run clutch. How many parts and how deep (split tractor?) would it be to "upgrade" to a factory over run setup? I know it's not cost effective but I'm never parting with it...

How difficult would you say this task has been thus far? I have a '77 B7100 that also doesn't have the factory over run clutch (think it is before they installed them) and have been considering installing it when I do a light overhaul this spring (going to replace the rear axle shafts anyway)

Don't go R4 unless the tractor is being used to work job sites where it's being operated on hard pack. The performance is lack luster and probably not what you'd be hoping for
