Here is a video of my B6100 with a K348-7 finish mower. I had the mower set too low and I was mowing in the wrong direction most of the time! The book says to keep the uncut grass to your left and mow in a counter clockwise direction. But it was fun nonetheless I have not used this mower...

My local Kubota dealer was kind enough to provide me a copy of the K-348-7 user's manual. The blades rotate counter clockwise as you look down on the unit while it's in the cutting position. The unit is made to run off of a Clockwise PTO, which is what the B6100 is equiped with. The manual...

I was thinking the same thing about the bolts. I went to my local dealer and bought three new LH thread bolts @ $8.00 each! As well as three new blades. I'm hoping these new parts will resolve the problem of the blades getting loose during mowing. Do you think I'm okay with the rotation of...

I took this unit out to cut a field, and the blades keep falling off. The bolts are getting loose The blades are attached with 3/8-16 left hand (LH) threaded bolts. I am using a B6100 DT. The PTO turns clockwise (CW) looking at if from the rear of the tractor. The blades should turn counter...

I have three 55 lb suitcase weights on the front for a total of 165 lbs.

I have a B6100 DT. I'm looking for a rough cutter (aka: Bush hog). What is the recommended cutter for this tractor? The most common one I've seen (used) is the King Kutter 4840, although it weighs ~420#. I can get a KK-48" for around $450 and continue to use it , if I move to a larger...

The mower is branded Kubota. However, I obtained a parts diagram, and all the fasteners are listed in standard U.S. sizes. This mower was probably made for Kubota by Woods or some other U.S. based company. It was built back in the late '70s or early '80s when there was still some heavy...

I just picked up a K348-7 finish mower.

Update: I removed the cylinder cap and found that the small o-ring under the diverter valve had fallen off during the first installation:eek: I wiped everything clean, installed a new o-ring on the cylinder cap, made sure the small o-ring was in place, and put it all back together. Now it does...

I recently changed the ring and o-ring on my hydraulic lift piston. After re-assembly, I now have a slow leak from the bottom of the cylinder cap when the unit is under pressure (lifting). My plan is to remove the cylinder cap again, then replace the o-rings (#96319-01410) and...

From what I've been told, the seat cover is NOT available as a seperate part. I felt the $90 for the seat was a fair price--given the cost of after market seats~$70.00--In fact, I was considering buying two (factory) seats, just in case. Although, this tractor will be garage kept so I'm hoping...

Thanks for the tip. I called them today. They are searching the yard for one or something similar.

Here are some "before"photos. I live in Ohio, so I've been stiffled by the relentless cold. I have been ordering parts including a ROPS, new headlights, new logos and decals, etc. I will remove the after market fog lights and repaint with factory Orange#1 and Kubota Blue. I am still in the...

Just be careful you don't bite off more than you can chew and keep your final goal in mind so you know when to say "good enough". Thanks for the helpful advice. My project is a "working tractor" endeavor as well. I never expressed a “Museum Piece” as a final goal. My goal is to achieve a...

I agree. However, it seems like I can get it professionally painted for about the same price as the rattle can job. That is, if I strip the old paint and apply the primer myself. My local Kubota Dealer/parts supplier is telling me sandblasting is the only way to go. (They told me the...
