    Linkage Kit

    Thanks for the replies. I did see another post about not talking with the parts department (which I did) and getting a kit from the sales department. I’ll try that once Kubota has finished software update or whatever they are doing. I think that’s January 20. I’ll also look into that...

    Linkage Kit

    Hi I’m in the same boat here. Bought a 2004 L3130 with a backhoe. Previous owner says he never had a three point hitch. The Kubota one is crazy expensive and all the others seem so cheap. What did you end up doing?

    1977 B7100 3 point hitch doesn't want to go down

    Last year I bought a 1977 B7100. My first tractor. I took it to my local tractor mechanic recently to have him go through it and check it out. The hydraulics weren’t working well. There wasn’t much lifting power with the 3 point hitch. The mechanic said that there was a lot of water in the...

    1977 B7100 Front Electric PTO issues

    Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I did hook it directly to a battery and grounded it. Nothing happened. I'll try to pull it apart to check for a loose wire. I don't think I'll be able to respool the wire. Not sure how to do that. I'll look into the ford AC compressor. Again thanks for the...

    1977 B7100 Front Electric PTO issues

    When I purchased my tractor it came with a snowcaster that wasn't working. Both bearings were frozen. I'd like to get it up and running before winter hits here in Vermont. When I mounted and plugged in the front pto it didn't engage. I've tested it on a fresh battery and still can't get it to...

    Snowcaster rebuild for a 1977 B7100D

    Thanks for the help. I was able to pry it off. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something and then break that something.

    Snowcaster rebuild for a 1977 B7100D

    When I purchased my tractor it came with a snowcaster. It also came with a plow. I'm guessing the original owner used the snowcaster until it stoped working and then switched to the plow. I'd like to rebuild the snowcaster. It spins but not easily. I'm trying to remove the auger and am having...

    PTO shaft stuck on tractor

    Hi, Fist experience with a tractor here. Recently purchased a 1977 Kubota B7100D with a Woods RM42 attached. When I tried to remove the mower for the winter the PTO shaft did not want to come off. Previous owner said that he had it off last winter. At first I couldn't get the pin to move but...

    Woods RM42 Spindle rebuild

    I'm going to wait for the press and see if it will come apart with that. As for cutting off the spacer, I'm not sure how I would go about that. Don't think I'm up for that until it's a lost cause situation. And I'm assuming I would destroy it in the process and would be unpleasantly surprised...

    Woods RM42 Spindle rebuild

    OK so I'm new to the whole spindle thing, do you think a hammer is better than a press? To me, a press seems like the the least chance of me damaging something. But if I'm wrong then I'm happy to whack away.

    Woods RM42 Spindle rebuild

    Thanks for the help. I hit with a hammer a few times and it doesn't seem to be moving at all. I pulled out the grease zero and I can see #5. That seems to be fine. I can't see a snap ring or anything else holding #2 in place. The bottom half internals (#7, #5, #4) all seem to be missing...

    Woods RM42 Spindle rebuild

    Hey Guys, New to the forum, new to tractors. Recently purchased a 1977 Kubota B7100D that came with a Woods RM42 that needs a bit of work. The shaft spins freely but wobbles all over the place. I'm assuming it needs new bearings and seals. I've pulled it off the mower but I can't figure out...
