    What is this wire on starter for?

    Much to think about, thanks for posting. Still puzzled as to how there could be this wire just dangling on old starter and everything worked fine. However, going to remote location where tractor is tomorrow armed with my multimeter and see if I can track down where the engine stop solenoid is if...

    What is this wire on starter for?

    Still scratching my head about this wire. Only the one end was connected to the starter, the other end was just hanging in space and had enough grime on it that it didn't seem as if it had been connected to something else. Tractor has started fine for the entire time I've owned it with it...

    What is this wire on starter for?

    I recently replaced the starter motor on my B2630. Attached is a photo of the old one. There was a wire with a connector on the end attached to one of the terminals on the starter. I thought maybe the original owner had placed it there for something but the replacement motor had the same white...

    B2630 PTO Won't Go Into Neutral

    After imagining a ton of expensive "might be's" this turned out to be a simple fix. Turned out that over time dust/dirt had gotten in between the shaft bushing and transmission housing and become like a cement washer and wouldn't allow the PTO neutral lever to move all the way over. Was only...

    B2630 PTO Won't Go Into Neutral

    Greetings, my B2630 HST has the PTO stuck in gear and won't disengage. I've been under tractor and there is no debris in or around the shift lever or the lever on the valve assembly. Has been getting tougher to engage/disengage so thought at first might be that hydraulic fluid was low, which it...

    PTO Engage Lever Stuck - Now Tractor Won't Start

    For what it's worth I have a similar problem with my B2630. In my case the PTO is actually stuck in the ON position and tractor will only start by by passing ignition switch. On my tractor there is a safety switch on the PTO housing and if it's in the open position the tractor won't start. Until...

    B2630 Wiring Diagram?

    Greetings, Certainly this issue isn't unique to me but pretty sure I have either a bum safety switch, bum ignition switch or mice have chewed through a wire somewhere-found an inhabited nest behind the instrument panel last week. Anyhow, tractor won't start from turning key to start position...

    Pat's Easy Hitch Question

    Thanks for the comments and advice, pulled the trigger on a set and will be installing it this weekend. Looking forward to hooking up implements without having to wonder where I left my pry bar, small sledge and 2 x 4. Cheers, Erik

    Woodland Mills WC-68 or WoodMaxx TM-8H or WoodMaxx WM-8H

    I am running a Woodland Mills WC 68 on my Kubota L2550 and have no qualms in the least recommending it. I haven't run anything much beyond 3" thick through it as yet but aside from one issue I haven't had any problems. The couple of times I ran it I was having an issue with it clogging and...

    Pat's Easy Hitch Question

    Greetings, I'm considering purchasing Pat's Easy Hitch for my Kubota B2630 for all the usual reasons. One question that occurred to me is related to the load on the lower arms. I have a rear weight I made for use with my grapple that I think weighs in at around 800 lbs. I'm wondering if that...

    Chain Choice for B2630

    So, yes, shipping is included in price. Leaning towards the V grip option a bit more. Sort of the mind that if I spread that cost over the lifetime of the tires/tractor it sort of takes the bite out of the extra cost. I won't be using the tractor on any paved surface but will be using in the...

    Chain Choice for B2630

    Greetings all, Have decided to invest in a set of rear chains for my B2630- practically new R-4's with Brotek rear spacers. Have settled on the DuoGrip H pattern from Canadian Chains after watching a couple of videos and reading some reviews. Where I am stuck (sorry-unintended humour) is...

    Tire Sun Damage

    Greetings, As this question will likely demonstrate I haven't Googled this as yet but I am curious about sun damage on tractor tires. Just purchased new set of tires and rims for my B2630 and wondering about how much sun is too much sun. I do cover the tractor when not in use but currently just...

    Well Casing Rear Ballast

    The casing is 10.25" i.d. x 10.75" o.d. and I was going to make it 60" long which is the approximate outside width of rear tires. The casing weighs 28 lbs per foot and the volume at 60" is just under 3 cu ft. Am going to add extra gravel to concrete mix.

    Well Casing Rear Ballast

    Greetings, Somewhere in my internet meanderings I came across a post by someone who had made a rear ballast by filling a section of well casing with concrete and welding on the necessary parts for attaching to 3pt hitch. Wondering if any members know of someone who has done this. I have located...

    Torque Wrench Necessary?

    I recently purchased a B2630 with turf tires and a 60" MMM. I am getting to be more and more of the mind that that setup really isn't the best for what I want to use the tractor for. In my defence, in my area, southern Ontario, tractors are snapped up often within hours of being listed so, in...

    Grooving Turf Tires?

    As it turns out you were exactly right about clearance. I checked last night and I have only a 1/2" between the sidewall of tire and a portion of the fender. So, it looks like if chains are to be considered wheel spacers would definitely be added. Adding wheel spacers might mean having to modify...

    Grooving Turf Tires?

    If I had to choose a title for this post it would be "Glad I asked!" The idea of using ladder chains is a solid one that I hadn't considered but makes consummate sense. That way I can still have the advantage of the wider stance that the Titan turfs give me and would set the stage for getting...

    Grooving Turf Tires?

    Greetings, I recently purchased a used B2630 with turf tires on front and back. 24 8.5-14 on the front and 13.6-16 on the rear. The tractor does have a 60" MMM that came with it and an FEL, but my main use for the tractor will be more towards light ag work-roto tilling and grapple work in and...
