Reverser: where else are you going to find one? The last US machine shop that was making them the selling price was around $800USD IIRC. I've ordered from Tracpartz previously, shipping was not expensive as long as you don't expect it overnight...There's no point in making a comment about...

Greetings! I have two B6000's; an E (2WD) and a DT (4WD). Both are geared, no HST. As for the radiator, Tracpartz has new ones for around $240USD plus shipping from NL. I have used them before for B6000 parts and shipping is not expensive as long as you don't expect it overnight...

Undoubtedly you must find that $600+USD on Ebay for a used reverser (on the very rare occasions when one surfaces) or $800USD for one from the US company that makes them new is more attractive? Add shipping to that of course. Dunno, seems to me that $266E plus shipping is very reasonable...

B6000, B1400, B1500, B5000, B7000 PTO reversers are available brand new from Tracpartz Netherlands (tracpartz.com) 266Euro = $300USD plus shipping.

A little late to this dust-up, but new PTO reversers for the B6000 (and other Kubota / Zennoh CCW PTO models) are available from Tracpartz in the Netherlands. Buy one! Keep them in production! In other news, Woods made a 3pth finishing mower model RM48 that can be easily adapted to the reverse...

A recurring theme with B6000's in this and other forums is what to do about a leaking or broken oil bath cup. Some enterprising fellows have cobbled one together from sewer drain PVC pipe. For those of you that are fussy about appearance or being able to check the oil level visually, the parts...

I just happened upon this thread; I have 2 B6000's, a DT and an E. There is no center PTO. The mower deck is driven by a mule drive/electric clutch that is driven by a shaft out the front of the motor. The electric clutch is a US-made item and the mower deck was made by Woods-also USA. Tracpartz...

As far as I know, they were only "Grey" in the USA, not in Canada or Europe (and obviously Asia). In Europe B6000's seem to abound like weeds. In Canada, the occasional dealer seems to run with the US directives, but none of the ones I've dealt with (6+) have given me the bums rush out the door...

Well then! You lot have hijacked this thread and made it about le langage de l'amour! I was living in Panama for a few years and when I returned to Montreal, the Parti Quebecois (Separatist party) was in full bloom. Seeing as I didn't have a pure French name, the job outlook was bleak and I...

TracPartz Netherlands is a good source for both OEM and aftermarket parts. I was just looking for something else and THEY HAVE NEW PTO REVERSERS FOR B6000 available! They call them "Inverseur" (is French) $266 Euro (way less than used PTO reversers on ebay which are posted at $600USD ++) plus...

A little late to this party, seeing as you have bought the replacement. HOWEVER, for anyone in the future looking at this thread I had seen some time ago a thread where, having found out that the plastic bowl was NLA, the fellow made a fabbed replacement out of PVC (white) drain pipe. Methinks...

For those of you that are commiserating here about the price of Kubota parts-believe me when I say I find them to be very economical. Why do I say that? I also have a Massey Ferguson GC2300 (2008MY) and the parts pricing is astronomical: bogie wheel for the mower deck $124USD (there are 4)...

B6000 Fan Belt Change 1. Get a new fan belt; Kubota part #15231-72532 Belt, Fan. Belt is also marked BANDO RPF 2300 9.5x765 LA 2. Remove negative battery cable from battery terminal. 3. Remove hood; 4 bolts that attach hood hinge to radiator support. 4. Remove front (electric) PTO, if installed...

Thanks for the input! OK to put WD40 into a clutch area? I found an image of a "split - pin drain" on Messicks' Kubota site. This seems doable with the existing drain plug; drill a hole in the plug, insert aluminium or stainless nail, peen the end and presto, split pin drain. (at least I think...

recovering from sticker shock, Thanks Russell:eek: The "ECD" breathers are explosion-proof and are in the $150 price range (USD; about a Zillion $CDN) HOWEVER, the "CD" series are much more palatable at a paltry $22 for the 1/2" NPT version. keep 'em coming!

I spend the winters waaaay South, so not used in winter at all. In other correspondence today, the Kubota shop manager said to leave the plug out. I'm listening to all comers, so you can tell me more about the "split-pin" solution. What about a tank drain fitting from a compressor? Most are...

Thanks Wolfman; since there is no way this puppy was left out in the rain, have you any observations on how moisture got in there and how to avoid a problem in the future? I'll put the plug back in but I am leery of accumulating condensation again. Perhaps for some folks with greater mechanical...

Will most likely apply to other machines as well. Occasional use B6000E, kept under cover and never left out in the rain. Used it one day and the next day the clutch was stuck, wouldn't release. Tried a few of the tricks listed here and on the web to release the clutch, no success. Finally made...

greetings! Need to change the fan belt. I've searched this forum and the web and the only info I can find says that the; radiator needs to be loosened and, the engine mounting bolts need to be removed and, the engine and transmission lifted slightly so that the belt can clear the front PTO drive...
