    B1550hst-d 17hpa head gasket question

    So I hope this helps someone in the future. Since everything I could find about the timing Mark's even I the manual show them only visible from the back of the engine and mine has no inspection plug I brought the engine as close to tdc as I could by bumping it over and using a compression...

    Reaplacing 20.5x8-10 front tires to a r1 or r4???

    I have read through the posts and been looking for what options there are for replacing the 20.5x8-10 front turf tires on my b1550hst-d. It is 4wd. The rear tires are 31x15.5-15 bar style turf so they have some traction. The fronts however are not aggressive what's so ever...

    Kubota B1550

    Some tire manufacturer needs to start making a 20.5x8-10 or a 205/65-10 in a traction tire. I bet they would sell since it seams there are still alot of these older kubota 4wd tractors around.

    setting TDC

    To adjust the valves the motor has to be on tdc for some and then a different place for the rest. Since I am doing a head gasket and going to have the head surfaced and will more than likely need the shim the valve clearance will be off when I reassemble so knowing where to access and find...

    B1550hst-d 17hpa head gasket question

    We have a strait edge specifically for checking head and block surfaces at our shop. Do you know if the cast iron heads are very susceptible to warping? Thanks for the heads up on the oil passage o-ring. I ordered a kit from kubota so hopefully if it takes it it is included.

    B1550hst-d 17hpa head gasket question

    So I bought a used b1550hst-d 4wd and got a good deal on it. The only mechanical issue is it has a blown head gasket on #2 cylinder. So while reading through the repair manual it talks about taking a "fuse" and putting it on top the piston with the engine on tdc and setting the head on the...

    Traction tires

    I would jump on those but my manual says for running 12.4-16 on the rear I need 6-12 on the front and those are 6-14. Would be a sweet deal though especially with the foam filled tears. Thank you for showing me those though.

    Traction tires

    Hi just bought my first tractor. It is a used 4wd B1550hst. It has turf tires on the front and I'm needing to find out what size tractor lug will work with the rears. I'm guessing since it's a hydrostatic transmission the front and rear tire size needs to be matched so you dont mess up the...
