I got this working a year ago. It was just a simple connection tion using a wiring diagram.

I bought a new starter for the D650 motor on my B6100. The new starter has a spade connector. Where does that connect to.? The old starter had a short jumper wire to the spade connector but the new starter does not have an external terminal for such a jumper. On Kubota's site the 15231-63015...

What gauge wire is the battery cable? I removed the starter, I know it can be tested w/o removing it. I figure I'll replace the cable. The ground cable looks okay. The cables I see on sites like Amazon don't appeal to me. I am having a similar problem on a Honda Civic - starter is good...

B6100 turned over a few times then stopped cranking. Starter does not even make a click. Battery is fully charged. I know how to jump the solenoid. I'll do that. There is also a clutch switch. Tim

DEESTONE D413 7-16 is the least expensive 7-16 R1 tire that I've found. Seller claims that these are made in Mexico. Is Deestone a decent tire? Giga tires sells two for less than $150.00 including shipping. But, Carlisle Farm Specialist R1 is only slightly more on Amazon.

My B6100-DT currently has Goodyear 7.2-16 ag tires. Tractor Data says the rear tires should be 7-16. I really only need one rear tire but both tires are old and the Goodyear 7.2-16 are a bit spendy. Can I use two Carlisle 7-16 ag tires as replacements? Any recommended lower priced tire...

After painting the rim cosmoline would probably help

Does anyone know the differences between the D1302A and D1302B motors ? I have noticed that the water outlet of the "B" is larger. Is that the only difference ? Tim K

Is that true? This week a machinist told me he got a poor quality cylinder head from Kumar Bros and would never use them again. He said its rare that a new OEM head is junk out of the box - the vendor couldn't have looked at it before shipping. So, all aftermarket heads are the same quality as...

I'm pretty sure that I can do an in-frame re-ring of the D1302 . The cylinder head was warped when I got the tractor so I have to work on it. I have the tools to measure the cylinder bore. If its in spec I'll re-ring it, otherwise I need a complete rebuild. Its not possible to do a...

Is it possible to do an L-275 in-tractor overhaul on an L-275 ? New rings mostly

How do I know whether I have a D1302 engine ? Where is the serial number? The motor has been repainted, I may need to remove some paint to find the ID.

Other than paint or powder coating is there a protective coating that prevents rust? My rims had been sprayed with asphalt undercoating and it trapped rust

WTB: D1302 head bolts Kubota part # 19202-03450 or equivalent for L275

Its already been soaking for six months. I wasn't going to use high pressure, I figure 100 PSI might help loosen the rings
