Yeah, its not to cold down here in Tasmania compared to you guys in North America, our winters are rarely below 0deg C, so im confident that a battery with about 430 cca will work, anyway i will give it a go. Thanks for you input. cheers andy

Hi, Its come time to replace the battery for my B6000. Can anyone reccomend a suitable battery that is available here in AUS. Namely i am interested in how much CCA i need, ( i have found a Centuary RC 75 with 430 cca for $130 but note sure if its strong enough) Anyway wondering if any one...

Hans, I havent done the job as im waiting for my deep sockets to arrive. But i think i will just have to remove the banjo bolt and overflow pipe. Pretty simple i hope, no need to bleed fuel line. Anyway let you know how it goes. Cheers, Andy

G'Day, My B6000 is requiring a fair bit of cranking to start it from cold. So i have purchased some new glowplugs from kubota. To replace the glowplugs it seems that i need to remove the injector (or part of injector) to allow clearance to remove the glowplug. Has anyone got any advice to...

G'Day, Wondering if anyone knows the correct pressure rating for the radiator cap for a B6000. Mine came with a cap stamped 0.7 (which i assume is bar) this equates to 10 psi. Anyway it was leaking and all i could source locally was a 7psi cap which also lets fluid out the overflow. None of my...

Well, i finally got a break from the missus and kids and jumped into the axle repair. had a good stash of heinekin and some new oil seals to get me started. anyway i had an easy time removing the upper and lower kinpins which then released the reduction gear case and axle shaft so i could...

Cheers for the info guys! I have ordered the manual you mentioned Top Gear and it should arrive soon. Then i will proceed to tear down the fron axle and see what happens. I know i will be replacing the knigpin bushes as they feel pretty sloppy both sides and the oil seals and dust seals...

I have recently purchase a B6000 4wd. This website helpled me to fully service the tractor. After replacing the front axle mounting bushes i have decided to proceed to replacing the front pivot/swivel bushes and seals. There seems to be some movement between the hub(reduction gear case) and...
