    I often drive near bushes and trees with low branches and the exhaust pipe have been catched by them. Sometimes even bent :mad:. I thought about adding a stabilizer. But then I found a flexible exhaust connector together with a short slightly bent exhaust pipe at my local car parts shop. Now no...

    Simple loader!

    I have my Kubota B6001 (with 20 HP D950 engine) on the Spanish island of Mallorca. I have no FEL on it. Searching for a not too expensive FEL in Spain, to mount myself, I found THIS FEL that is attached to the front of a small tractor. The manufacturer say that they will adapt it to almost any...

    Leaking hydraulic line and silver brazing

    The hydraulic tube to the 3 point linkage started leaking oil at the banjo fitting under the pump on my B6001 (with a D950 engine). I found a small crack. Replace the whole tube or repair? After some time on the net I decided to silver braze it. Last time I did this was fifty years ago! ;) First...

    Increasing width by turning hub?

    Increasing width by turning wheel center? Is it possible to reverse the rear wheel center on my B6001? :confused: If so, I could increase the width with about 5 centimeter (2 inch) on each side making my tractor more stable. :) Anders

    Simple front weight design 2.

    The simple front weight design in my earlier thread worked but the front end was still not firmly placed on the ground with a heavy back load.

    Simple digital tachometer

    I was looking for a Tachometer for my B6001 with a D950 engine. The engine got a fitting for a mechanical tachometer but a suitable meter was expensive. :( The digital tachometers on Ebay were inexpensive. I bought one with sensor for about 13 dollar. First I fixed the magnet on the front pulley...

    Silencer forward or upward?

    Dont know if this is the right subforum for my question? I just bought a B6001 4WD which had the silencer mounted forward which I suppose is the most common way. My experience is that the exchaust gases sometimes tend to get in my face. My MF35 back in Sweden have an upright silencer as most...

The hour meter is not something you look at when you drive! :cool: I...

    Auxiliary hydraulic

    I understand that some models of the B-line have a auxiliary hydraulic port on the 3 point hitch which you can turn off or on. On my B6001 there is a port but no handle to turn it off or on. Can I fix the three point linkage and use this port for a single acting cylinder, or a double acting...

    With my newly bought B6001 came a rotavator S1000. It looks as this is made to fit my tractor with a very short connector. I understand that there is something missing to the back of it. I have not been able to find any manual for it. Anyone got more information on this rotavator? :confused...
