"... a bit different?" <g> I'm about a hour WSW of of Jesup (around Douglas) and almost thought about riding up there and checking things out. Yeah, for this Atlanta native, you may be right... "a bit different" (what with all the education scandals around here). But, then, if I were still...

Sorry for not clarifying -- it's the 'new' Bright Orange II (near-match). Tractor Supply also carries both the old and new - but the 'new' is only in spray cans -- the gallon size is the 'old' orange. -- john.

Tiger, Check out Agri Supply - they carry 'Majik' implement enamel and it appears (so far) to be pretty good - both in quality and color match. Online price is $28 / gal. I first picked up a spray can of it - to check color match and it was very close. I've since got a gallon, but have not...

Folks, I've got a (used) B7500 last April and it appears it's getting time for a new battery -- beginning to see a little 'drag' on starting (admittedly, on cold days - i.e. S. GA - so we're not talking extreme cold - 30s or so). The battery in it is an Interstate (I assume this is a...

Thanks Vic & 'ETRon' -- I broke things down and simply had a bearing seize - so I replaced all three (2 front, 1 rear). Got everything back together this afternoon and fired 'er up and things are (seem to be) fine now. One point I noticed on this alternator rebuild -- the (pulley) shaft seemed...

Folks, Just 'lost' my dyno (?? alternator) on my B7500 today. In trying to ascertain what direction to take (rebuild / replace), I'm now with doubts as to what, exactly, is on the tractor -- is it a dyno or alternator? Appears the former (i.e. solid (appearing one-piece) case behind the...

My 'sense' notwithstanding, your precise point occurred to me after my previous post. Then this thought occurred to me: my plans on my next oil change is to go to the Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel synthetics, but, if the tractor is used lightly during the winter months, maybe drop the 'good' oil in the...

So, would the logical time to change the oil be in the spring (assuming winter being the 'off' season) - rather than at the beginning of cold weather (i.e. new oil sitting in the crankcase throughout the winter - gathering moisture)?? My sense would tell me to crank up when warm weather returns...

Folks, New member here (about a month) and new used Kubota owner (B7500 HST). The question centers around fluid analysis and what makes sense. I dropped most fluids (oil, FWD) and planning on the HST maybe by the end of this season (unit had 382 hours on it at purchase (4/29/10)) - the HST...

Kneep, I recently just purchased a B7500 (382 hrs) that has turf tires (pretty good tread) and I wish it had the R4s. I'm sure there are more details than just that (this one is a 4wd), but if things could work out, this might could work to our mutual advantage. I would be willing to talk a...
