    Kubota B6100E normal operating temperature while mowing

    I greased them well. One i greased so well that it stopped pushing out the grease and wouldn't spin. I put a pin in the zerk nipple and grease pushed back out. It was bizarre. Its spins freely now. The idler that got stupid hot has its own sealed bearing. Its weird because the bearing ID seems...

    Kubota B6100E normal operating temperature while mowing

    While im here, ive used Redlines Water Wetter on my "race" car with good results while running heavy boost. Would Water Wetter benefit my Kubota? UPDATE: Ran tractor while mowing with distilled water (about 1/2 gallon) and Vinegar (1 gallon) for 15-20 minutes. Saw no more than 210F. This was...

    Kubota B6100E normal operating temperature while mowing

    Will do. Good excuse to replace both of the original cloth backed hoses as well. Hole in the head gasket will be obvious due to oil and coolant mixing correct?

    Kubota B6100E normal operating temperature while mowing

    My Kubota B6100E with an RC48-62F mower deck operated from a front electric clutch seems to put a large load on the tractor. When engaging the mower the engine bogs pretty hard. Within 10-15 minutes of mowing with some tight turns and short hills, the temp gauge is reading 225-230F. I notice...

    help with B6100E throttle operation

    My B6100E throttle was stuck to the engine stop lever and as such I was using the decomp pull to kill the engine. I've freed it up and reattached the foot throttle, but seem to be a bit loss and the schematic I found is poorly displayed. I can't figure how the hand throttle would stay in place...

    Kubota B6100E with mid mount mower, OPTIONS?

    Thanks, that clarifies it for me. With the front rear-facing PTO being offcenter, can I safely run a mid mount mower with the centered gearbox? Are the u-joints and shaft going to be alright? Seems most of them are centered that ive come across

    Kubota B6100E with mid mount mower, OPTIONS?

    My B6100E came with a rather beat RC48 mid mount mower. Its the version with the front facing gearbox/ shaft. This leads to the front PTO drive box with electric clutch. Im looking for a 60" cut mid mount mower but the flavor i come across most often has a rear pointing gearbox/ shaft. Ive seen...

    Purchased my first Kubota this week, a B6100E. Attached are some pics. I am trying to get data on the belly mower along with the front attachment setup and "custom levers". The 3pt finish mower is getting a new belt and thats why its disassembled a bit. I would love to get the belly mower on but...
