Reverser: where else are you going to find one? The last US machine shop that was making them the selling price was around $800USD IIRC. I've ordered from Tracpartz previously, shipping was not expensive as long as you don't expect it overnight...There's no point in making a comment about...

Greetings! I have two B6000's; an E (2WD) and a DT (4WD). Both are geared, no HST. As for the radiator, Tracpartz has new ones for around $240USD plus shipping from NL. I have used them before for B6000 parts and shipping is not expensive as long as you don't expect it overnight...

Undoubtedly you must find that $600+USD on Ebay for a used reverser (on the very rare occasions when one surfaces) or $800USD for one from the US company that makes them new is more attractive? Add shipping to that of course. Dunno, seems to me that $266E plus shipping is very reasonable...

B6000, B1400, B1500, B5000, B7000 PTO reversers are available brand new from Tracpartz Netherlands (tracpartz.com) 266Euro = $300USD plus shipping.

A little late to this dust-up, but new PTO reversers for the B6000 (and other Kubota / Zennoh CCW PTO models) are available from Tracpartz in the Netherlands. Buy one! Keep them in production! In other news, Woods made a 3pth finishing mower model RM48 that can be easily adapted to the reverse...

A recurring theme with B6000's in this and other forums is what to do about a leaking or broken oil bath cup. Some enterprising fellows have cobbled one together from sewer drain PVC pipe. For those of you that are fussy about appearance or being able to check the oil level visually, the parts...

I just happened upon this thread; I have 2 B6000's, a DT and an E. There is no center PTO. The mower deck is driven by a mule drive/electric clutch that is driven by a shaft out the front of the motor. The electric clutch is a US-made item and the mower deck was made by Woods-also USA. Tracpartz...

As far as I know, they were only "Grey" in the USA, not in Canada or Europe (and obviously Asia). In Europe B6000's seem to abound like weeds. In Canada, the occasional dealer seems to run with the US directives, but none of the ones I've dealt with (6+) have given me the bums rush out the door...

Well then! You lot have hijacked this thread and made it about le langage de l'amour! I was living in Panama for a few years and when I returned to Montreal, the Parti Quebecois (Separatist party) was in full bloom. Seeing as I didn't have a pure French name, the job outlook was bleak and I...

TracPartz Netherlands is a good source for both OEM and aftermarket parts. I was just looking for something else and THEY HAVE NEW PTO REVERSERS FOR B6000 available! They call them "Inverseur" (is French) $266 Euro (way less than used PTO reversers on ebay which are posted at $600USD ++) plus...

A little late to this party, seeing as you have bought the replacement. HOWEVER, for anyone in the future looking at this thread I had seen some time ago a thread where, having found out that the plastic bowl was NLA, the fellow made a fabbed replacement out of PVC (white) drain pipe. Methinks...

For those of you that are commiserating here about the price of Kubota parts-believe me when I say I find them to be very economical. Why do I say that? I also have a Massey Ferguson GC2300 (2008MY) and the parts pricing is astronomical: bogie wheel for the mower deck $124USD (there are 4)...

B6000 Fan Belt Change 1. Get a new fan belt; Kubota part #15231-72532 Belt, Fan. Belt is also marked BANDO RPF 2300 9.5x765 LA 2. Remove negative battery cable from battery terminal. 3. Remove hood; 4 bolts that attach hood hinge to radiator support. 4. Remove front (electric) PTO, if installed...

Thanks for the input! OK to put WD40 into a clutch area? I found an image of a "split - pin drain" on Messicks' Kubota site. This seems doable with the existing drain plug; drill a hole in the plug, insert aluminium or stainless nail, peen the end and presto, split pin drain. (at least I think...
