    B6000 engine swap. ZL600 ----> D600

    Any info would be Very appreciated. I didn't know if Kubota was like gm and everything was a standard way. I love this tractor for its size, but I can't justify spending too much to fix it. I may end up parting it if I can find something to work.

    B6000 engine swap. ZL600 ----> D600

    Thanks for the reply! I'm sure I'll have to mess with the front sub frame and maybe the hood and steering. That part doesn't really bother me. There are benefits of the bigger engine to offset the trouble. I'm really needing info on bell housing, flywheel and clutch compatibility. That's...

    B6000 engine swap. ZL600 ----> D600

    Hey guys. I'm back for mowing season trying to figure a few things out for my b6000 2wd manual trans. Right now I have a worn out motor that needs a few big parts. I'm looking at at least 600 bucks to rebuild my zl600 so I'm looking for other "better" options. There is a g5200 for sale at a...

    Recommended Engine Oil

    This was a very valid comment about Mobil one. I have used it in many vehicles with fine results, but most of it is not diesel rated. I'm a synthetic guy too and am not bashing any brands. Use any brand you like, but make sure it's a diesel rated oil with a good detergent package. The ones...

    I have a b6000e with the same pressure when hot at those rpms. Mine is not the front cam plug. Do y have cold oil pressure? mine starts off at 50ish, then dips down as it heat up. I haven't had any other suggestions in my post, so I'm anxiously awaiting your results and advice from others...

    New b6000e owner. Issues from "go".

    Soooo.... I pulled the oil pan tonight and it is clean in there. The cylinders look nice from the bottom, and the tractor seems to have decent compression. Tomorrow ill try to get a cam cap pulled. Are these stretch bolts? Does anyone know a part number for the cam bearings? Also, is...

    My day just got worse. Ok... I figured all of that out. I also broke my balancer pulley in the process.... Don't ask. If anyone has an extra... Let me know please. Here's some pics... Cam plug is still in. What now? Could it be the back one? I'm starting to get sick when I see orange.

    New b6000e owner. Issues from "go".

    Hey guys.... Any info on how to pull the front cover off this engine? I'm into where I can just pull it, but I wanted to ask first. Is there anything I need to do with the pump / governor area or does it pull off as a unit? I don't want to bugger anything up pulling it off. Thanks!

    Steve... While I can't vouch for your sanity... :p. I completely understand your point on the filter. I have a small business working on diesel vws and only use Mahle eom filters. I have had more oil filter issues with vws than you would believe so I appreciate your advice. I actually just...

    New b6000e owner. Issues from "go".

    Thanks so much guys. I hope this all works out. I want to love it. It's a sweet little rig. I was going to change all fluids and found the trans fluid to be crystal clear. So with the cam plug, any write ups around here on that? The oil filter is just a screen and I cleaned it when I...

    Thanks for the welcome. No hour meter that I see, but I know this tractor was used for primarily mowing and I'd assume it was used well, but taken care of. Hodge... Love the sig.

    New b6000e owner. Issues from "go".

    Hi guys. I just bought a b6000e with a woods belly mower a few days ago. Bought it from a guy that seemed honest enough for $1350 in what looked to be pretty cherry shape. It starts well and on the test drive ran great. After getting home and doing a bit more digging, I found out that the...
