How did you plumb this? Is the top link port closest to the back of the tractor just capped off? and when you have the diverter valve rotated to aux and lower the 3 point lever it just diverts the fluid back to the tank allowing the top link to extend under gravity?

Thanks for taking a look. Do you have any pics of what what axel bars look like or where I can find some? What happens to the the joint at the front of the transmission and what part is it in the attached diagram? Part 23?

Yeah I know what you mean! I have a B7100 without a loader and it is night and day difference. The idea was to sell the one without the loader but I am not so sure now.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting read. I really hoping it is just the thrust bearing, as everything is working, it just makes a metallic rattling noise when pushing the clutch in. I guess I won't know until I split it. I have posted in this thread about the clutch

I hope I am not highjacking this thread but there seems to be some really knowledgeable people in it. I was linked to this thread from one I started about the stability of B7100 with aftermarket loader as it might be too heavy. I also mentioned there is an issue with the clutch. This is the...

Thanks for all the comments. I am hoping I can improve the stability of the tractor with he loader as it is so handy, if not I will have to sell it as my property is pretty much all hills. I did some testing yesterday, first thing I did was check the tyre pressures. The front left was 6ps and...

When you say control valve is there a seal that is known to go in that? or is it something else with the control valve?

The new one I bought didn't come with the emblem either. I missed it missing on the parts diagram.

Thanks everyone, for the tips on how to put it on and off

Thanks fo the tips, it does look very fiddle to get on. Yes pretty crazy expensive, it was $215AUD here in Australia from Kubota. I had to get a new radiator so I thought I better get the guard to keep the finer stuff out of the radiator. If it lasts another 10 to 20 years I will be happy with...

You could be right as there was some different looking bolts when I pulled it apart.

I have ordered a new radiator guard from Kubota, I believe I have all the brackets etc. How exactly does the guard go on the radiator? it is not clear to me how it is installed from the parts diagram below.

I have recently picked up a B7100 HST with an aftermarket loader that has a 4 in 1 bucket. The idea being this new to me B7100 with loader would replace my existing B7100 HST with mid mount mower. The B7100 with loader needs a new thrust bearing and maybe clutch and it has half the hours of my...

I have done a full services on the B7100, looked like the hydraulic oil had lots of water in it, it is all running pretty good. However since replacing the hydraulic oil the 3 point hitch does not stay up and it creeps down within 30 seconds of raising it up, which is very frustrating when using...

This fixed my diff lock issue. Works as expected now.
