it said either to use or don't use a ethylene based coolant because of it being a thermal siphon system. Of course back in the 70's what types were available?

i remember it said something about using or dnt use ethylene based coolant?

I have a B7100 D and I remember reading somewhere, I cant remember where, it takes a specific type of anti freeze. Anybody know?

Well folks everyone was right on track and here goes with my compression readings, front to back (meaning radiator, which I would imagine to be cyl1), first reading is dry 2nd is wet:220-260: 300-320: 260-280. Not much of a change but then again the oil was extremely thin. I will try again after...

I first had tested the glow plug with the ohmmeter and they were til all hooked up. But yesterday I removed them and tested them with the battery. They took about 30-45 seconds to glow good. I was going to do a compression test but I have both the short and long adapters, but the exhaust...

Well t's the same still. I have to use jumper cables to my suburban and it takes a good 30 seconds to crank enough to start. I clled everywhere here in this town for a diesel compression tester. I had some say yes we have it only to find out they were talking about a gas engine. Some didnt know...

i want to thank everyone who taught this old guy about diesels. I have found a compression tester at harbor frieght, parts at the dealer, knowledge from you folks. I have learned that even with a copression problem once the tractor starts it could smooth. I learned about glow plugs and how well...

Re: glow plugs for b7100d 750A thanks. I just recieved my books and they do list part #s. I found a parts and service in lubbock and just happen to be going there tomorrow. The person i spoke to advised me ngk is what kubota uses and the battery in it is about right. All i have to find now is...

the b7100 I have has NGK Y103K glow plugs. The I&T book doesnt list the OEM glow plug. I really dont like ngk brand and no one here stocks them. I have spent hours trying to cross them to any other manf . Anyone have any idea what Kubota calls for and maybe a cross? thanks Ted

i decided to research on the internet and ordered the IT and parts manuals. I got them both for a total of 46.00 i hate to wait for things

checked with all the tractor supply stores within 100 miles and no kubota IT books. The one manager informed me kubota made TSC remove all the k (kubota) series books. any suggestions on where to get them?

I appreciate your advice and experience. Today I adjusted the valves. 2 of the intakes were a little tight and the rest were pretty much loose. After which I tried in vain to start it. I pulled a glow plug (NGK Y103) and it is black, very black. Must be carbon. Usually not a good sign on an...

I'm sorry to add this but I was checking on the glow plugs at O'Riely's and they carry 2 types , autolight or Bosch what's everyones thoughts on them, or is there something out there better? I saw somewhere that Diesel RX was the best but I like to hear from others. Thanks again

Thank you Matt for your help. I went and had the batterie checked and it was good. It has only 475CCW. I measured the battery box and it is 9X5" I couldn't find a larger CCW battery that would fit that space. I guess i'm going to try and getting the space larger. Any suggestions on where to buy...

Thank you all for your advice and experience. I will try just that. First the battery and cabeling. Then replace the fuel. Except I would imagine it would run poorly if the fuel was bad. The person I bought it from says it wasn't old because he just filled it after shredding 6 acres. The...
