    B7500 fuel pressure?

    A couple of suggestions: 1) Check to make sure you have all of the air out of the fuel lines between the fuel filter and the injector pump. 2) Inspect the lines between the fuel filer and the injector pump for any minor leaks. It doesn't take much of a pinhole to get air into the injector pump.

    B7510 HST Surges/Jerks

    My B7500 does the same thing. I think it is just the way the transmission works.

    Spring is coming....too early to get out of "Snow Mode"?!?!

    It's one of those Murphy's Law things. If you take it off will get a snow storm but if you leave it on then you won't.

    Starts But Stops after 2 Seconds Everytime Now

    It is stories like this one that make me really glad that my b7500 does not have a fuel solenoid, just a manual push-pull shutoff.

    Starts But Stops after 2 Seconds Everytime Now

    Sounds like there might be some crud in the fuel tank. Check the fuel line from the tank to the filter to see if you have full flow.

    Hydraulic drifting after sitting - normal?

    My B7500 loader (LA302) has drifted since I bought it 20 years ago . . . . up until last summer when I had the cylinders rebuilt. Now it doesn't drift at all. I don't expect that to last long, but it's nice for now.

    kubota B 7500 won't start

    The glow plugs won't have anything to do with it not turning over but they could keep it from firing while turning. My guess would be that the clutch pedal switch is not making contact when the clutch is depressed.

    Antenna install help

    From the pictures it appears that you need to drill a hole that the shoulder around the bolt will fit through in a grounded part of the body then mount the antenna and slide the cable connector over the threaded part with the pointed side against the tractor. Of course you will need the...

    Snow chains…do I need them?

    Chains are sort of a Murphy's Law decision. If you need them or not will depend entirely on what the weather does. I have a set for my B7500 but have only used them once.

    Pat’s Quick Hitch

    I have a Pat's QH on my B7500 and did have to get a longer top link. The top links that TSC carries solve the problem and are not expensive.

    Loader won't lower unless I use FLOAT

    I recall reading a thread a couple of months ago with a similar problem. The result was that the 3 point lever was not in the center position causing the return line to be closed. i searched for that thread but was unable to find it.

    Rental BX23S wants to stall intermittently while attempting to move forward/backward

    Articles like this one make me really glad that I bought my B7500 when I did. It doesn't have all of the "safety sensors" irritations that the new models have.

    Creep / Leak? down. B1630 loader on B7100HST-B

    I had all 4 cylinders on my LA302 loader rebuilt by my local dealer earlier this year. The loader had always leaked down since it was new but had become worse in the last couple of years. Since the rebuild it doesn't leak down at all. I left it about 2" off the ground on purpose and a week later...

    Kubota B7100 with loader dimension

    Tractordata.com has the dimensional data for all Kubota models listed and the attachements, but you will have to do a little math to get the total length with the loader.

    My loader won’t stay up?

    I just had the cylinders on my loader rebuilt by my local dealer. I parked the tractor with the loader about 2" off the ground to just to test it. When I went back to use the tractor after 4 days the loader had not moved at all.
