Well, it seems I've stumped the masses. I figured it out anyway. It seems there is a bushing (nylon?) on the tube that protects the front drive shaft. The tube is not supported at the top except for this bushing and rides on the drive shaft and it seems it have gone dry or warn out. Anyway I...

I've had a B7000 for some twenty years. It has almost always had a varying whirring worbling sound when in top gear at speed. Now it's doing it in 2nd and almost in first. It sounds like a dry bushing or bearing. All fluids are topped up. It is hard to tell where it is coming from when...

Needing to rebuild my steering box and searching for parts I found the box is the same as for the L175 and L185. Yes I know, as said here before. But what I found was that Kumar Bros USA sells a repair kit with all the seals and gaskets for $99 including shipping for the L175, L185 and L1501...

Will a B6000 steering box fit B7000? My steering box on my B7000 is giving me some cracking sounds witch seems to be a symptom of a bad box. I may have a line of B6000 parts.

I've been wondering if a z750 engine will work. I've seen replacement heads that quote z650, z750, B7000 and L1500. I've had my B7000 for 22 years and I know Nothing can liver for ever so I've been looking around for possibilities.

So I had to replace the clutch. Wouldn't release completely anymore. Of course it meant splitting the tractor but I've done it before when the input splines of the drive shaft stripped. That was splitting it at the front of the transmission and pulling the shaft out was easy so I thought I...

Land Rover Series III!

I was wondering if an L175 / L1500 z750a 2 cylinder fit in a B7000? My B7000 is getting a little old and engine parts are hard to find. I was wondering if the z750a is just a punched out z650?

I wrecked my radiator when I was pushing a stump up hill with the bucket and it slipped and rolled back into the radiator. I took it to a radiator shop and had it rebuilt. It was not very expensive. Same thing when a fan blade went through the radiator of my Triumph. I don't know, do they...

I have a B7000 and the clutch is beginning to drag enough to be worry some. If it has been idling the gears will grind when going in to gear (even lowering the engine speed and waiting for the disk to slow down) It's OK when going from gear to gear (quickly.) The clutch does not slip. Any...

I searched around a couple of years ago for grins and giggles and found some rebuild kits. As I remember they were quite reasonable but a search again finds very little.

New here. I have a B7000 I bought about 15 years ago. I've named it Little Sumo because it's Japanese and little with a big Sumo's heart. When I bought it, it came with the 36 inch tiller and I had the guy I bought it from (a gray market dealer, long gone now) put on a front end loader and 3...
