    B2150D lives again, for 5 minutes...

    A few years ago I was posting and learning about a B2150D project tractor for light residential use. Anyway, legs got so bad I quit doing much of anything for a while, then had both knees replaced, and just recently got back to the projects that were let go. I live in Phoenix, so didn't think...

    Pushing the limits - box blade too big?

    I have a B2150 and have been making do with a too small 48" roll-over box blade. Today, I acquired what appears to be an actual Gannon (no legible markings) 66" box scraper that looks exactly like these pictures. I was really looking for a 60" box, but talking to the guy on the phone, it...

    Help with plan for loader bucket build and quick change?

    My B2150 has a pretty thrashed bucket on it. Bottom worn through at the back bend by PO from back dragging. And the replacement cutting edge was scabbed on top of the original cutting edge making it too thick to properly mount my tooth bar (won't go on all the way). Not only that, the...

    Electric stop solenoid - why?

    This is just to satisfy my curiosity. I've read a fair number of post recently with folks somewhat fixated on a stop solenoid, adding or repairing. My B2150 came with one, but the relay is burned. It appears there was a small electrical fire there in the past, and other required systems were...

    Fixing a beat up LA300 bucket

    The bucket on the LA300 looks decidedly light duty. The PO obviously used the chains over the top of the bucket as a lifting device, and you can see that the bucket lip wasn't up to the duty. It's got some pretty big bends up there across from the boom just where chains would likely lay...

    Rebuilding boom cylinders on LA300

    Where would a person find specs on and possible rebuild kits for Kubota LA300 hydraulic cylinders. The 2 main cylinders are inverted (shaft on the bottom), so with leaking O-rings (I assume), they weep till they empty when setting unused. Looking at the manual, it seems I need at a minimum the...

    Trials and tribulations of a B2150 owner

    I started to post in the "what did you do today" thread, but too much to keep up with day by day, so just venting a bit, I'll summarize the last few weeks. 1) Almost a month ago I split the tractor to take 2-stage clutch to a local well regarded clutch/brake rebuilder. Apparently they are...

    PS leaking from top of column

    Upper seal visible after removing wheel and spacer appears to be fine. But I've noticed a fairly prevalent seep in operation that keeps the wheel column fairly wet with leaking fluid. Anyone have experience with this type of leak? On removal, I noticed that the wheel itself was not well...

    B2150 schematic source?

    Can anyone provide a resource for a full schematic on a B2150? I knew it had some problems, but the more I poke at it, while it ran adequately up till it's clutch failure, and I knew it had some electoral issues, it's now become apparent that I have some significant electrical gremlins. This...

    B2150 lower cluster circuit

    In the ongoing saga project B2150, while reassembling from a 2-stage clutch replacement, I realized that the entire lower circuit of the dash gage cluster is missing. That is basically the glow indicator, oil pressure, and charge lamps. I had noticed there were no lights functioning down...

    B2150 reassembly - UDT vs 80/90 again

    I thought I understood, but began to question myself, and reading old posts has not given me that warm fuzzy feeling. I was under the impression that my B2150D should be running UDT other than the front diff. And when I needed to top it off, that's what I put in it. Then the clutch went out...

    B2150D torque specs flywheel/clutch

    I finally got started on my B2150D 2 stage clutch replacement. I had the torque specs written down, but can't figure out where they got put (it's been a while). Does anyone have a manual handy that can get me the specs for the following: Flywheel to crank Long pressure plate to flywheel (4...

    Cross bar frame for middle buster/chissel?

    My tractor and related projects have been on hold for a while, but hopefully I'll be back to them soon. My son and I have been talking about putting in a modest garden, and while my tractor will be complete overkill, might as well use it if I had the implements. Well, today I picked up one of...

    B2150 dual clutch(?) setup

    This is another of my dual clutch questions. The service manual suggests that setup of the dual clutch assembly stack must be accomplished using a special setup table/fixture. Apparently references are measured from fixture features, and if that is correct, makes setup without the table (or...

    Splitting a B2150 to RR 2 stage clutch

    Since it looks like it's all but certain I'll be replacing the clutch in my B2150, and I've never "split a tractor" before, I'm wondering what the best approach is. Looks like my B7100 wouldn't be too bad, but the B2150 is a comparatively large compact and my impression is that this is likely...

    B2150 dual clutch(?) adjust

    My B2150 has been slipping the clutch. I didn't think it would be a huge deal, I've done it plenty of times with cars and trucks, but it's looking more and more like an expensive pain the behind and a LOT more trouble than expected. Over $500 in parts alone! So I wanted to do everything I...

    Source for tubes 12.4 x 14 Firestone R1

    My recent set of used wheels and tires came with tubes having CC ballast. I had decided just to run them and I empty as much as I can. Well, not only got more than a little run into the broken down bead, I damaged one of the tubes trying to get it mostly drained. In the process I also noticed...

    B2150 Service Manual

    Due to issues posted on other threads, I called the dealership on Friday to check into getting a Service Manual. Looks like it's about $150. Now I know Kubota is quite proud of their brand and parts, but $150 for a cheap spiral bound printout? Seems a bit steep (ok, a lot), but the web hasn't...

    B2150 dual stage clutch diff from single?

    I mentioned not long ago that I had noticed my 2150 was very hesitant about getting underway in high range high gear. It was suggested that I check alignment, but it appears to engage well before topping out, and it seems to have the 2 stage clutch. I did some casual looking for clutch...

    B2150 leak from steering column.

    I noticed when I cleaned it up that my 2150, which has power steering, had a bunch of greasy gunk accumulated around the steering column. I cleaned it off think, "Now why would that be there, overzealous user with some extra grease? <shrug>" Of course I've noticed it wet since, and realized...
