    Engine running hot?

    Warm humid day. Mowing for roughly 90 minutes. I can feel heat rising off the hood and from around the engine compartment. No indication of over heating on the dash but then I don't see an idiot light or temp gauge on the dash. I could put my hand on the hood and hold it there but if it was...

    Setting up new MMM on B7300

    I am asking if this set up appears to be correct and if not, how might I go about changing the gap between the deck and the stoppers. Also it seems to me the gap is largely controlled by the cutting height you set the mower at (at least in when in the down position). This is an RCK54-24B deck...

    Asking for help, can't reconnect FEL

    I took the FEL off for the first time 3 days ago to install the MMM. Today I tried to reattach the FEL and found one hose will not reconnect. I did rotate the control stick as instructed before disconnecting the four hydraulic lines. I may not have done it correctly but I had no trouble...

    Questions about new MMM on B7300

    I made some assumptions about how the mowing deck (RCK54-24B) would fit and perform. Now that it's mounted on the B7300 I see there are differences. 1) Apparently the two front gauge wheels touch the ground whether the deck is down or in the elevated position. I thought the entire deck would...

    New MMM for B7300 arrived

    New crated, RCK54-24B (MMM) for my B7300 Ordered it a week ago, arrived yesterday. They neatly set it in my small trailer and I brought it home. Used the FEL to lift it up and then pulled the trailer out from under it. Pushed it into the garage last night and expected to take the crate apart...

    WSM woes solved by applying a little OCD

    I was frustrated with the WSM because it has no contents page, separate contents for Mechanism and Service and finally, because each section starts at number one again. I just could not find what I wanted without a lot of paging around. So after spooling up my OCD I bought two sets of...

    Trying to work with the WSM

    I've flipped pages in my WSM a dozen times thinking each time, it would get easier... that something would click and it would all make sense. Still waiting for that to happen. After Safety and Specifications (the very first few pages), there is a Contents page. This page only covers topics in...

    Three point drops

    B7300 With a heavy item like the tiller on the 3-point, it will drop overnight. It's a very slow decent, can't see it but can notice a change over an hour or so. My neighbors JD drops too, over time. And it's much newer than my rig. Is this something we just live with or is a repair...

    Yanmar?

    I thought someone told me I had a Yanmar engine in my B7300. Do I? It doesn't say Yanmar anywhere in my users manual or WSM that I have seen. So what do I have, a Kubota engine? By the way the neighbor across the street has a JD about the same size as my B7300 and his diesel looks just like...

    How to drain the coolant from the overflow

    B7300 tractor I've drained the coolant from the radiator I opened the petcock then removed it and took the cap off. I believe I got most of the coolant out. However, I can't seem to find a way to drain the overflow container. It isn't mentioned in the servicing dialogue except during the...

    One more problem to solve

    B7300 1997 At some point in time the previous owner had the mid mount mowing deck removed due to bearing failures. He replaced it with a 3 point hitch drag along mower. A rear mower won't work for me. I plan to get a mid mount mower before spring and mount it myself. Many of the original...

    Need advice from those knowledgeable.

    1997 B7300 While the HST continued to drain I started on the crankcase oil change. First I noticed the pan plug was leaking; an occasional drip. On removing the plug, it had to be wrenched out for several threads then, it easily came out by hand. I had expected it to spin out easily after...

    R & R trans HP screen

    After struggling to work on the high pressure line I decided to just take the LR tire off. The lock method between the wheel and axle is really interesting, at least it is to me having never spent any time with tractors. So much easier to reach the HP line now. Also can remove and replace the...

    How many tranny drain plugs?

    B7300 According to the WSM there are four transmission drain plugs? One at the mid PTO, two a little farther back on the housing (one each side) and a fourth closer to the front. For the front axle? Somewhere along the line I got the idea the front axle was oiled separately and was not under...

    big day tomorrow, 1st haircut, 2nd service tractor

    Rain or snow here tomorrow but also, the warmest day of the week in central Ohio, at a balmy 40 degrees. So I dragged out my exhaust hose so I can run the tractor in the garage with the door down and I put the oil and grease gun in the house to warm up over the next 14 hours. Plan to take the...

    An essential insignificant modification: cup holder

    My old B7300 satisfies in so many ways and I enjoy working on it. But....dang, it does not have a cup holder. My imagination seems to be on vacation. Would you mind sharing some pictures of your fix for this intolerable oversight by Kubota? Thanks, Roll the thirsty

    Loader oil capacity

    Lots of questions here.... I've owned my first tractor all of 3 months. B7300 20 yrs old, LA272 loader same age I believe. 3cyl Diesel 16HP. According to the Loader user manual, the loader operates off the transmission. What the manual does not tell me is the oil capacity of the loader...

    Question about servicing my B7300

    On my B7300 with loader attached. Will be getting ready to do lube, trans, crankcase, and filters, (gas, crankcase, air, trans?, and the trans tube screen). I can get under the tractor but it would make it easier if it was on jack stands. How do others manage it and where to you lift...

    Which color would you choose?

    My "new to me" B7300 turns 20 this month. I'd like to think I looked better at 20 than my Kubota but maybe not. As I work on the things I think need help, I try to do a decent job. But complete refurbishment isn't going to happen. This will be a working Kubota, not a garage queen. Fixing the...
