    Loss of grease around front wheel ball joints

    I packed a lot of grease around the kingpins on front wheel joints. After a days work, there is so much grease around the front ball joints, that I wipe it off. Is it normal to lose this much grease, or is something worn, such as the dust sheild?

    B7000 remote aux for log splitter

    I've just bought a log splitter with male 1/2 inch quick release couplings. My B7000 tractor does not have aux hydraulics fitted. I'm going to cut into the high pressure line, as shown in Dept Vic's video, and add two female quick release couplings. What do you do when the splitter is taken...

    Engine block lower water pipe

    I have traced a leak in the coolant system to the lower engine water pipe. Thought it was the Rad - but the rad is sound - good news! The machine is a B7000 - two cylinder, and the lower pipe needs removal, cleaning up and re-sealing. The water pipe contains a couple of notches in the end and...

    My B7000 has a leaking radiator. Is it worth using Radweld or are we talking about a new rad here? Does anyone know where a new rad can be located in the UK? Thanks guys.

    Cooling fan belt tension

    I need to adjust the cooling belt and have located the wing nut which adjusts the tensioning pulley. I have loosened the bolt with WD40 but still cannot turn it much.

    Pto headache

    I have bought a B7000, obviously a grey model, but really clean with no oil leaks and no smoking. I contacted the local Kubota dealer to enquire about a ROPS, and was told the model doesn't exist. I asked if ROPS for B6000 or B7100 would fit, but was told they couldn't supply it. I looked at...

    Broken Grease Nipple

    Recently purchased a gray B7000 and discovered that some chump has managed to break off the grease nipple used to grease the clutch bearing. This nipple is in a difficult position, as the grease gun has to be inserted through a hole in the RHS tractor body. The thread of the nipple is still in...
