    B6000 Muffler source?

    I'd look for an alternative source too. The local Kubota dealer quoted me $395 for a new one. Decided to paint mine. What does that thing do anyway? Does it just Muffle?

    Here you go...good luck. She is a beast isn't she? Doing the same thing for mine, starting with the front and engine first. Put the engine back together after having installing a new plug in the cam-shaft that came out, lost oil pressure. Decided to do inspect everything and replace wear items...

    Tiller Conversion for B6000 PTO

    Cool Man! I have a B6000 and did a similar thing for my tiller. All I did was take the right angle gearbox apart and move the bevel gear on the output shaft to the opposit side. This makes the output rotate in the other direction. I did need to take some measurements and cut a retaining ring...

Maybe machining an iron plug would be better. I am curious if the new plug will be made of aluminum, knowing that...

    Low Oil Pressure

    Thanks for the info. Did some search on Google, apparently a common issue with this engine is that the oil path goes through a center hole in the cam-shaft and the ends of the cam-shaft are plugged with an aluminum press-fit plug. These tend to come out and create a leak in oil circuit that...

    Low Oil Pressure

    I have a B6000 and I noticed that the oil switch light would remain off right after start up, but once the engine was warm it would come on and remain on even at high engine rpm. Owners manual says the switch closes at 7psi. I removed the switch and installed a 15psi pressure gage. When the...

When the engine is running and in neutral, there is a noise that is coming from the either the ball coupling or the top bearing of the main drive shaft. Is that coupling serviceable...
