    Lift arm swivel balls rusted to the pin

    I am trying to remove the lift arms from my B2150. I need to work on the lift brackets for the MMM. Both arms (ie, the swivel balls) at the rear diff case are rusted solid to the pin coming out to the case. I have soaked them over night with WD40 and expect I will have to heat them today to...

    How to protect bare metal?

    I am in the process of restoring a RC72b deck for a B2150. The shafts for adjusting the deck wheel height have to be left bare so they will slide up and down. Is there any type of conditioning that can be done to the metal surface to prevent them from rusting. I don't want to paint or plate...

    B2150 Pwr Steering leak up the column

    This a new to me B2150. I bought it knowing it had the power steering leak. It is a major leak, not a weep. I bought the steering column seal and am going to start in on it tomorrow. I read the following post and it sounds like others just had a weep. Now I am concerned about the needle...

    Battery Cable Repair

    Is it possible to repair a cracked battery cable connector? My grandson has a G5200 with a cracked connector. I need a temporary repair until I can replace it. My first idea was to use acetylene to melt the lead back together. The other was to solder it back together. Any ideas?

    B2150hst will not shift into High

    My B2150hst has a Hi, Med and low side of the hydro. I have not shifted it into the low side (since I got it) until this morning when mowing some banks. It would not go into the low side so I shifted back up to medium. When I went to come home on the subdivisions streets, it would not shift...

    Starter Magnet Switch/Solenoid

    The main current on my starter is not making it through the solenoid contacts. I suspect the contact plate is corroded. Being a refurbisher at heart, I typically take solenoids apart and just cleanup the contacts. Has anyone had the Kubota starter on a B2150 apart and can you get to the...

    Idler Pulley Bearing Stuck

    This is on the RC48-G I am restoring. The idler bearings are shot and will not even move. The inner race of the two idler pulley bearings (080) are stuck to the shaft of the idler arm (020). I soaked it good with penetrant and left it in the press last night. I plan to add heat to the shaft...

    How to remove pulleys on a RC48-G

    It is time to clean up the deck for the G5200 we bought for my Grandson. I have everything off of it but the outer spindles. It will get sandblasted tomorrow and then on with the weld repair on the holes in the top of the deck. So, how do I get the pulleys off so I can remove the bolts...

    New to me G5200

    My son and I have been into the B series Kubota's for a while and used Wheel Horses for the lighter work. My 9 year old grandson decided recently that he would like to have a Kubota garden tractor. We have been looking for a while, and yesterday we pickup a 1980 G5200 with 1600 hours. It is...

    What causes slack in a HST drive train?

    I am fairly new to hydros. My tractors have been mainly manuals. I spent about 3 hours seat time mowing some tall grass with my B2150 HSD. Power is really good. It has more blowby than I would like at 700 hours, but I think it has had a hard life. The other thing that bothers me is the...

    Front PTO option for a B2150

    I have a B748 snow caster/blower left over from my B7100. It uses a front PTO. I see where Kubota has an optional front PTO kit for the B2150, so I was thinking I might adapt the blower to my newest tractor. Has anyone used it and does it have the small 17 spline connection or the bigger set...

    I am losing power at full throttle on my new to me B2150 with 682 hours showing. I have had the tractor for about 2 months now and have only used it occasionally around the house for lifting and moving things without any problems. This morning I traveled about 1/2 mile on the road to pickup my...

    Crankcase Ventilation Smoke

    How concerned should I be about crankcase ventilation smoke. I don't have any major smoke out of the exhaust. The power seems fine. I realize the diesel compression is higher than a gas engine and leakage past the rings can be higher as they wear, but my question is how high is too high. Do...
