HI SpencerSr.. so are you planning on installing The R1 Tyres on your Turf rims??? I'd love to know what tyres you are planning to use

Hi there... My B7100HST has stock Turf Rims and Tyres. The front rims (and Hubs) are 6 stud and trying to find 6 Stud Ag rims is like trying to find Hens Teeth. I have managed to find a set of Bridgestone 5.00 - 12 tyres mounted on rims that will fit, and wanted to get some advice on whether...

Good luck with the build Bountyhunter... you are more brave than me... all I had to do was try and make one fit the tractor, let alone fabricate it from scratch. Schematic of Block attached I'll see what I can get with regards to Plumbing pic's... but essentially the hole in the diverter block...

Well the Loader Legs seem to function as intended... just need to get some paint on them... but as you can see with the water on the bucket... it's been a bit wet to paint outside (might need to hook her back up and move it under cover) Question... Is it normal practice to somehow anchor the...

Thanks Lil Foot... looks like the original is largely bent rather than welded... might be well beyond my capabilities... but will see If I can find something I can make fit

Has anyone got any dimensions they could offer with regard to Fabricating a Roll Bar (ROPS) for a B7100 HST I've looked locally and can't seem to obtain one... and not likely to get one out of Kubota here in NZ Thanks in advance

I am half a world away Wolfman... so perhaps shipping would make this un-cost effective... but given the recent installation of the loader on my B7100HST I'm now considering a Hydrostatic Power steering conversion. Would be interested in seeing what sot of $$$ it would be to obtain your parts...

Thanks Torch and Wolfman... I obviously have got a lot to learn... so thank you yet again for the advice... I have ordered a 1/2" NPT tap so hopefully that will do the trick

Thanks D2Cat... I really enjoy learning by doing, so this little Kubota has been a great classroom. At some point I'd love to strip her right back and freshen her up with new paint etc... but that might have to wait until I've built a decent workshop! Ha.. just assumed that this would be the...

Hi again Torch Not sure if I have a different size Hydraulic Transmission Oil filler cap??? But mine doesn't seem to be 1/2 inch. It seems to be more like 20.5mm (13/16" or am i measuring it wrong?

Thanks Again for the info Torch... I feel a bit more comfortable now armed with that info... seems that based on that rule of thumb the bucket is sitting in roughly the right place relative to the front wheel... see pics attached 20 inches by my calculations is 508mm and the back of the bucket...

Encouraged by the "Give it a go" advice that I got earlier in the thread... I decided to fabricate "Legs" for the loader so that it would stand by itself when removed from the tractor... Just need a couple of coats of paint and should be good to go! Please don't look too close at the welding...

Well It works... got a lot to learn... but fundamentally looks like it does what it should. Now just need to figure out why I have Hydraulic Oil Leaking out of the transmission!!! not sure if it is to do with my previous episode of splitting the tractor to replace some of the PTO gears (I did...

Thanks heaps for your advice Lil Foot, Given I have Zero experience with driving loaders... I would not have known that the Valves are reverse to normal... Our water may spiral down the plughole in the reverse direction to yours and we might drive on the opposite side of the road, but I'm...

Thanks for your advice Torch, I did some rudimentary measurements from a couple of Pics I got online to try and make sure that the bucket was in about the right position... I'd be curious if anyone had a measurement perhaps from the centre of the front hub to the tip of the bucket at ground...
