Sorry…no offense taken, and I do thank both you & Dan. The explaining is more for my benefit, not yours. it’s the engineer in me always seeking confirmation to avoid mistakes😁

Everyone, but me, may understand it. That’s why I came to the forum … now I do too, and I thank you for helping me.

You're right, Dan nailed it. I'm slowly figuring this out. Front bucket cylinders, side reservoir, and pump on front of engine are a separate system. I've attached diagram showing control valve piping from a hydraulic pump shown on left side of diagram. I'm surprised there is no mention...

Wolfman ... Thank you for your advice, the best being "... DO NOT open up the control valve and start "adjusting things" that not your problem, and no good will come of it." More than likely kept me out of trouble. Afterall, I was thinking "pixie dust" as I didn't see a cylinder. Now, in my...

There is no hydraulic cylinder, only a hydraulic control valve shown on page 45 of the original parts manual. There is a "spool" (part #66611-3629) operated by the up down lever which must direct hydraulic pressure from the pump mounted at front of tractor. The control valve parts diagram...

My B7100D purchased new in 1974 has 2080 hours ... I notice implements won't stay put and drift down. I adjust lowering speed with the hydraulic needle valve when I change from tiller to box scraper. I suspect leakage in the control valve itself causing problem. So ... is there anything...

Bought the boot, used an old open end V wrench, tapped it cold with no results. Used a small heat gun, and it popped right off. Replaced boot, tapped knob head on with hammer and bee-lined in to thank you for your advice. I‘m original owner of my 1974 B7100D and I was a bit worried over this...

How do you change a split shift boot on a B7100? I can’t see how shift knob comes off. So, how do you get the thing on the shift rod?

Thank You for your help

My 50+ yr old KUB219 has a leaky lift cylinder. Original manual shows part as simply KU074 … is there a replacement available or will I have to find someone to rebuild cylinder? Please advise … Thanks

Did you ever resolve your B7100 steering column issue? I’m having similar problems

B7100 - Replaced thrust bearings and have excessive steering play. Wheel rises about 1/8” from top column bushing before engaging to left. Do I add or remove shims to to tighten play between thrust bearings? I used the 5 original shims, but suspect that gives me too much play and I need to...
