    B20 rear axle seal leak

    FEL, The right brace that supports the vertical side frame has 2 pins welded to the support (inside). It also has R pins in them. My manual has no reference to what these are for. I am using a phone and unable to post pix. Anyone know what these pins are for? Regards walt Got it, top link...

    B20 rear axle seal leak

    I will take reference pix, my only worries after looking it over is removing the fel. Looks like the sub frame needs to drop down towards the rear to clear the axle housing. I'm working alone so hopefully a floor jack can muster it back in place.

    B20 rear axle seal leak

    Ordered a B20 Kubota repair manual today. Am going to tackle this myself and figure it out as I go. Any suggestions appreciated. The FEL is not a quick attach.

    Excessive control/joystick slop on FEL

    The pin that the lever pivots on is about shot. The whole control stick has worn or wallered out from use. I think the control valve is sticking and needs rebuilt as mentioned. The heim joints seem ok....It really does need bushings that are replaceable....Thanks everyone, I will tear into this...

    Excessive control/joystick slop on FEL

    The control lever on my FEL has so much slop that I had to remove the top plate covering the control valve to allow the stick to go far enough forward to go into float position. Been running this for the past year like this. The joystick has at least 6 inches of play forward and backwards and...

    B20 Box Blade size??????

    I have a B20 Kubota and I need a box blade. Will this tractor handle a 5 foot unit????? The box blade I am looking at is a King Kutter and has 5 scarfing teeth. I was told to buy a unit thats a bit wider that the tractor width. The tractor is slightly over 4 foot wide. Thanks for any advice...

    B20 seized clutch

    4000.00 was a repair estimate from a local repair shop. Parts and labor. I couldn't see paying it. The parts cost were 600.00 for what we replaced. To remove the FEL and BH and split the tractor took 2 fairly intense days. I did a bad job of saying that its an expensive job to hire out..

    B20 seized clutch

    We are in the process of changing out a busted clutch disc and pressure plate in a B20, total 980hr's running time. Dissembled, the flywheel looks like it has never been used. Since I have had this tractor, bought it last fall, the clutch would never disengage. The pedal did nothing but allow...
