    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

    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...

    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

    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

    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

    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?

    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...

    Inline Hydraulic Check Valve?

    Greetings, I just purchased a 3rd function kit from Summit and am the process of mapping out the hydraulic circuit. The other day I watched one of Neil from Messick's videos and he was addressing the issue of check valves to protect the system from pressure overload that can arise from forces...

    Summit 3rd Function Kit Choice

    Greetings, I have purchased a Worksaver grapple for my Kubota B2630/LA 403 and am looking at various Summit 3rd function kits for it. They don't have a kit specifically for my combination of tractor/FEL. They have one for a B2620/LA 364 and also a kit for a B3300/LA 540. I did contact them and...

    Finish Mower Blade Alignment Question

    Greetings; I have just dusted off a finishing mower that came with my B7100. After lubing bearings, checking the belt and topping up the gearbox I hooked it up to the tractor. It seems to have a lot of vibration, which is worse at low PTO speeds and gradually gets a little better as RPM's...

    B7100 Loader Hydraulic Issue

    Greetings, I just replaced the control valve on my B7100. I have a KMW K-85 loader on the tractor. The original control valve was a Cessna and I replaced it with a BLB BM 40. The new control valve is rated at 9 gpm. I just finished the install and now do not have any down pressure on the lift...

    Clutch Safety Switch?

    Greetings All; I have an L2550 GST that is occasionally very difficult to start. Like most tractors, the clutch must be depressed and the the steering column selector and GST gear lever must be in neutral to start the tractor. What happens often enough is that all of these conditions are met...

    B 7100 Engine Swap

    Greetings; I have a B7100 HST of unknown age, but definitely older. According to the manual and the plate on the tractor it has a D 750 DH engine. I'm not sure if this is the original engine as it has a water pump instead of the convection system that is most common on these tractors. I have 2...
