And then just to make it more confusing... In Australia and probably other countries these are known as "Welsh plugs" Answer: a welsh plug is a plug in the side of the block and the heads. these fill the holes left after casting.they actually allow the sand to be removed that is used during...

Hi guys, I am just waiting on some gaskets so I can bolt a reco cylinder head onto my D750 engine. As one of the 8mm head bolts was broken and the head was cracked I have decided to fit all new bolts. My question, I haven't priced genuine Kubota head bolts yet but is there any reason why I can't...

Hi all, I am looking at a pair of new spotlights 12v 55watt to fit into the existing positions on my B7001 hood (bonnet). I know these will draw a lot more current but with a good battery will I still get a decent light/time before the battery goes flat. Could I fit a lower watt globes? Can...

Hi Jack, just curious how good your car alternator charges? Isn't it spinning backwards compared to a normal mounting in a car? cheers Gazza

Hi guys, I made a few sets of stickers to suit a grey import B7001. Basically I just copied all of the stickers on a Australian imported tractor, these may be the same as sold elsewhere but I'm not sure. There are a total of 25 stickers in a set including the white triangle on the bonnet (hood)...

Re: Heart acke house tales:- that NEVER ending Job, the Access & "THE" Tool Hi David, you certainly picked the best winter to do some earthworks;). For those readers who don't live in Melbourne we have had about 7 years straight of less than average rainfall, yet this winter is very wet. Just...

Thanks for the information guys, I have an update. You are correct in saying that the D950 head has larger valves, this head also suits the D850 engine. The other type of head fits the D650 and the D750 engine. I have a complete D950 and D722 engine in unknown condition out of a couple of...

Hi all, just wondering if a cylinder head off a D950 Kubota engine will work on the D750A engine in my B7001 cheers Gazza

Well the bad news is the head is definitely cracked between the valves on no 2 cylinder. This brings me to a couple of options. Find another head or has anyone had any success in having one of these welded up? I know there are a lot of similarities between the D750 and the D950 engines, but will...

Well after a couple of hours work (just working carefully and slowly so as not to miss anything) the head is off. First thing I found was a broken head bolt between 1-2 cylinders, both the head of the bolt and washer were sitting on top of the head so no other damage involved from these pieces...

Hi Dave, I can see where this type of diagnosis would be a great help to find the cause of the problem. Unfortunately I have already removed the head. I did consider checking a few other things before I removed it but not knowing the manner in which it stopped working I assumed it had a few...

Actually I did think of rain water initially but it has a horizontal muffler and exhaust pipe. It is possible that the previous owner gave it a wash with a blast up the exhaust pipe. I did notice that overall the tractor has no mud/dirt and no oil leaks so I am guessing it got a high pressure...

Hi guys, as per my previous email I just bought this Kubota with a dead engine, here are the details. It was sitting for quite a while and leaked oil when trying to start, was recently turned over and it looks like it is hydraulically locked up. It was listed a having a "Oil leak" (no visible...

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome. I just uploaded the 4 pages of the 1984 Australian B7100D brochure into the picture gallery, enjoy. And yes, this site is helpful already cheers Gazza

Hi all, I found this site last week and have now spent many hours reading and learning. A big thanks to the admin guys who run this site. I live in Melbourne, Australia and have acquired a used early model B7001 Kubota which I assume is a grey import, needs a lot of engine work. Will post that...
