Hi Beemer It would be really nice to see some pictures of your rebuild journey, if you can find the time!

Beautiful work, Carl! I've just checked, and I can get a flight to Bremen for about €30. Can I call over and we'll make a few implements for me? :)

I've been looking out for a topper(bush hog) or a flail mower for the last few weeks. Mowers to suit small tractors like the Kubotas are very rare around here, so they tend to sell quickly and for high prices. I can buy a new or little-used 8ft mower for less than a used 4ft topper to suit my...

That's interesting, Dion. When I enquired of the Kubota dealer, the (very helpful) gentleman at the parts counter told me that the wheels were NLA/obsolete. He suggested that I ask the sales guy for suggestions, saying that some of the newer tractors might have compatible wheels. He failed to...

Thanks Ed! I finally got an answer from Kubota: (1) Ratio of front axle rotation to rear one: 1.6911 (2) Front wheel dimension: Hole size:M12-Pitch 1.25mm-6 holes, Flange Dia:145mm Circle Diameter of 6 bolts hole: 115mm (3) Rear wheel dimension: Hole size:M16-Pitch 1.5mm-6 holes...

Thanks, Vic I haven't had any luck with that route yet, but there's another possible option. I've started a new thread over on the tires(tyres)-and-wheels section of the forum. When I saw the "HST" suffix I though "Kubota"

My quest to find Agri wheels suitable for my B8200HST continues... Having failed to find wheels at any Kubota dealer, or independent supplier, I have found a company here in Ireland who will make wheels to my specifications. The information I have is taken from TractorData.com: Front 6-12 Rear...

My quest for Ag wheels to fit my B8200HST continues - without success so far! I was browsing some s/h machinery sites earlier, and found an advert for a Ford 1520HST - it looks remarkably like a Kubota (7100HST??). Now I'm wondering about cross-pollination between Ford and Kubota. Did Ford...

67800-53910 according to my parts manual That number may have changed, but the dealer should be able to cross-reference it for you.

Thank you for that tip - I've sent them an email enquiry, but I suspect that the shipping costs may be prohibitive. I'm also putting out feelers with the Chinese compact tractor dealers - they might have spare wheels of the right dimensions.

Ah, OK. So it looks as though the indicator lights going dim is just further evidence of switch failure. I tried to turn the barrel CCW but it doesn't want to go in that direction. I'm reluctant to force it just in case it falls to pieces. It seems odd that Kubota didn't design the switch to...

Cancel that. I've just seen a picture, and they're 8 stud wheels. Looks as though the advice given by tiredguy is good!!

Can anybody advise if 3103-2003 10-24 wheels have the same stud pattern as 67800-50120 8.3-24 ? What about the web offset? I may have a lead on a pair of these NOS. The closest dealer wants the equivalent of almost US$500 each for 67800-50120. Thanks for any help!

Thank you phildac, that's very helpful. The ignition/starter switch is worn out (I have a replacement on order). If I poke a screwdriver blade into what remains of the barrel, a light clockwise twist causes the oil and alt lights to dim slightly. I'm guessing that means the heater plugs are...

I'm giving my newly acquired B8200HST a bit of TLC before putting it to work. So far - engine oil & filter done, cooling system flushed and fresh coolant installed, alternator belt and battery connections and electrolyte done, brakes adjusted, fuel system flushed and new filter fitted. I've...
