Hi Trev, hope your 'grey' orange unit is now working fine. Did you by chance take a picture of the gear showing the slot ? if not, no prob. I own a B7100HST purchased second hand from a tractor dealer here in Melbourne, Australia and its been great buy. Never tried to get parts for it yet...

Hi there, I leave my loader lowered with rams as far retracted as possible. BUT the biggest thing you need to be aware of is once you have turned off your machine and walked away; that just maybe, some local kids decide to play around it. One may happen to be near loader as other kid sits in...

hi All, I have a very steep block that I am using a 4wd B7100HST with loader to do landscaping. Many times over the last 18 months I have been faced with that tipping feeling. So far one thing I have done to help situation is to add water ballast to my tires. Posted article on this quite a...

Hi Tom, this is the sort of tool you need to fill tire with water. if you look in my post in the "tractors and implement operating" forum called "stability.. my money for stability on hills you will see more pics" Also if you have tubeless tyres then you should consider adding some anti...

Re: Heart acke house tales:- that NEVER ending Job, the Access & "THE" Tool Jimmysal, thanks for your good thoughts. I got told (nicely) if I "really" need to move the bamboo fence I can.. but so far I have been able to work around it. My friend health has been poor in recent years so I try...

Hi to you both. well Cris and dookanooka the grey part of the block in photo was origional on my B7100. Its steel. The bright part the filter is screwed into is Aluminium. There are 2 different ones of these Al blocks. One has a cross drilling (end to end) and no outlet holes (on front) to...

Hi again, OK OK well not really my money.. come to think of it I dont really have lots anyway as I keep spending any spare on machinery and my lady friend uses the rest for the renovations. well my orange tractor (nic named Kevin by my other 1/2) is having stability problems on the dual angle...

Hi Mike, welcome here. Well having owned a Kubota 3/4 ton KH-007 mini excavator for a few years I can say your dad has got a machine in the same family as my great unit. As to manuals look at my posting on here in the service forums.. called "identify..identify.. identify." firstly look for...

"what is it,identify" Do first look for the Stamped No. NOT at the Model Plates No. Hi all, recently I saw some posts here asking for help in getting parts or manuals for those less that "true" kubota machines. Well here is my 2 cents worth. A few years back I purchased a 3/4 ton mini...

Hi again all, well though I would share some of my pics and give you an idea of the earthmoving portion of our house renovation "fun". Stated by us buying a house in the Victorian (Australia) "high" county, on a steep sloping block. Clay base, lots of rain and no driveway access to front yard...

Hi All, I have just finished fitting a second hand FEL to my B7100HST. One of the many things very average on this FEL was the state of the hydraulic rams. The rods were rusted and chrome was pitted. Mind you not to badly, so I dismantled the 4 rams, cleaned them, polished the rods in my...

Hi there, well I just added a second hand FEL to my B7100. I did 2 EXTRA things to make sure it worked well. 1. I added a 10micron hydraulic oil filter ( 200bar pressure capable type) in the return line from my FEL. This is to stop any foreign matter getting back into my HST transmission oil...

Cool Bike and fun to work on I am sure. Happy New Year to all on this site, from the "Great Down Under". Well my new years resolution was to have the 156 SqMt shed I rent tidy'd up so that I could actually DRIVE my B7100 in the door. Was so clutted thatit was more like walking an over...

Hi there, like the others that answered you, I feel sorry for your misfortune. Thankfully the hole was not throught any body part. Once drilled into palm of my left hand and through bone and that really hurt. Ok to your problem. You ask has the hole gone though the cylinder and if so is it...
