    Anyone own a B series with bi-speed turn option?

    I’m thinking of upgrading one of my B7200’s to a B2410 with bi-speed turn. It appears to be the last B series Kubota made with this option (2000-2005). I assume they dropped it due to the popularity of the zero-turn mower, which I’m not interested in. Mainly curious if it does cut down on...

    Bearing Bore Wear

    Curious if anyone else has experienced this: The input shaft seal on my MMM gearbox started to leak mid season. It makes quite the mess once it hits the belt and spindle pulleys. Now that I'm done mowing for the year, I removed the gearbox to inspect it. The input shaft has excessive radial...

    Mower Deck Check Chain Brackets

    Just curious as to why Kubota has you installing different check chain brackets when you install a mower deck. See attached pic, red arrows. What advantage do these have over the normal check chain bracket, and why does Kubota have you install them when installing a mower deck? Thanks!

    Quick Coupler Replacement w/ minimal fluid loss

    Fellows, The pioneer coupler on my L2900 to my loader has developed a leak (red arrow in pic). I replaced the o-ring inside the coupler and that didn't help. I'm just going to eliminate the coupler all together and screw the hose directly into the block. My goal is to minimize fluid loss...

    Loader Valve Squeal

    Howdy Fellows, I have an odd issue going on and figured I'd toss it out here to see if anyone else ever encountered this. The Woods 165 loader joystick vale for my FEL has developed a squeal like it's hitting its max operating limits. The strange part is, it only does it in the neutral...

    BXpanded Ripper Tooth

    Need your help fellows. I want a BXpanded ripper tooth for my Woods BH7500 backhoe that's on my L2900. They only make them for Kubota backhoes. I emailed them and they said they don't make anything to fit my 7500. I suspect I could modify one to fit my backhoe. If anyone has a BH65, BH70...

    Question about B series tractors

    Fellows, does anyone know if Kubota ever made a gear-drive B series that had either a two-stage clutch, or independent PTO control? Was curious becuase operating a 3-point snow blower on my B7200 gear is not fun. Thanks!

    L2900 Bevel Seal Replacement

    Question for those of you who have changed these bevel seals on L-Series Kubotas. Is it better to remove the gear case from the axle to do this? The FSM kind of hints at doing this. I know this is some-what of a common problem. One of mine is leaking on my L2900 to the point where its...

    Pallet Fork Modification

    Hey guys, I messed up and bought pallet forks form my L2900 that don't quite fit. It's a pin-on style. It's only off by 1/4''-1/2''. I'm looking for opinons as to whether it's worth trying to modify, or look for a new set. Adjustable loader style forks are almost impossible to source...

    Hey Guys, General question relating to lift cylinders. I recently purchases a L2900 that has a Woods 165 DuAl Front end loader. Both from the mid 90's. I had the bucket off today to grease the pins. I noticed when I operate the bucket curl control, only the RH lift cylinder operates until...

    B Series Alternator bracket

    He fellows, I'm in the process of converting from a dynamo to 60A alternator on my B7200. I was able to locate all the necessary mounting bracket and parts. These alternators were an option on the B6200, B7200, B8200, & B9200 tractors, and standard on European models (I believe). Kubota made...

    B7200 Rear Hydraulic Tap Point

    Hi fellows, I'm in the process of overhauling a new to me B7200, and I'd like to install a hydraulic top link to work a boom pole. The only issue is the hydraulic tap block is up front by the fuel filter bowl, and I'd like to save that tap point for my snowblower lift cylinder anyway. Kubota...

    Kubota B7200 Rear Rim Width

    Howdy all. I recently purchased a B7200 to replace my B7100. It came with turf tires which wont work for me. I know I need a 6-12 front R1 tires, and the Kubota rims are 12X5JA rims. I want to put 9.5-16 R1 tires on the rear. Kubota wants $350+ a rim. I have a local guy who can make them...

    Help with oil leak

    Hey Guys, 79 B7100 has an oil leak on the back right hand side of the block somewhere. Had a small puddle on the garage floor. See attached pics. Replaced rear main this summer and it's not leaking out the plug in the bellhousing, so that's ok. Thought it was an oil pan gasket, so I just...

    B7100 locks up in 2WD

    Hey guys, Was hauling a small trailer today. Had about a half ton of wood in it. My procedure for getting it up the back yard is to put it in 6th, 4x4 with the diff lock engaged. I need enough momentum to get it up the hill since the trailer weights more than the tractor. I guess I stressed...

    B7100 leaking oil from odd location at head

    Hello, I purchased a 79 B7100 this summer and have been slowly replacing parts as needed on it. I put it back together and all seems to work well except for two oil leaks. The first leak is a bad rear main seal, unfortunately. The second is from two odd locations on the cylinder head...
