    B2320 front spindle leaking

    I have a 2012 B2320 with 950 hrs. It was one of a fleet of 12 that were owned by a Xmas tree farm & traded back in after 2 years use for new tractors. They were used for mowing/spraying with 3 point attachments. The dealership serviced the tractors, installed new LA304 loaders, & advertised them...

    B7100 Clutch Rpair

    B7100 Clutch Repair Just got my 1980 B7100 bolted back together after splitting it a week or so ago for clutch issues. When cold the clutch would not completely dis-engage & with trans. in gear, clutch pedal fully depressed, the tractor would want to move when attempting to start. It improved...

    Finish Mower Blades

    I have a Bush Hog TM4 finish mower (48", ?) I use on the 3 point hitch of my 1980 Kubota B7100. The blades are pretty well beat & can't locate a direct replacement, Bush Hog part # 62636. Bush Hog web site is no help. My blades are 23.5" long, 2.25" wide, .250" thick & have a .5" mounting hole...

    B7100 Skidding Firewood

    Worked 6 hrs. today with my 1980 B7100 cutting & skidding firewood. Pulled with 5/16" galv. chain & slide hook attached to my 3 point "hand crafted" trailer hitch/skidding attachment. Geometry isn't perfect (trailer hitch sticks out too far - will fab up a shorter one with a loop only, no ball)...

Lifted the hood & saw the fan/dynamo housing wobbling around.Today I removed the hood, drained/removed rad, fan belt, fan & dynamo housing. Outer bearing was coming apart...

    Bervac 48" Snow Blower

    I recently bought an older model Bervac 48" snow blower I use on the 3 point hitch on my 1980 B7100. It works great at 800RPM (3 blade fan vs 4 blade), but when servicing gear box I noticed the auger shafts have no grease fittings & the auger shafts are rusted solid to the inner shafts from the...

    B7100 clutch

    Posted here a few times since buying my 1980 B7100 in Dec. Previous owner (owned tractor for 20 years) said he thought the clutch was worn as there was no adjustment left on the actuating rod from the pedal. This is true, all adjustment has been used up, but there is absolutely no free play...

    B7100 Front Differential

    No reply to this in an earlier post so here it is again. How much grease do you pump into the top zerks on the front differential where the large "ball joint" rotates to allow the front wheels to turn. Pumped a bunch in (no idea when it was last greased) when I serviced the old girl after buying...

    B7100 Snow Blower

    Found a used 48", 3 point snow blower for my little Kubota yesterday -$385 ! The older couple that had it maintained it like new, there is absolutely no wear in the auger shaft shear pins (they have always used proper shear pins, not just bolts!), end bearings or gearbox. PTO shaft u-joints are...

    I have posted on here a couple of times to try & get the straight poop on using the tractor hydraulics & the selector valve under the seat to operate a front snow plow & controlling the lifting with the operator's hydraulic control lever located to the right side of the driver, after rear 3...

    B7100 Rear Blade

    Any body know what size rear blade is recommended for the B7100, to be used mainly for grading lane & driveway? I have a chance to buy a 4' & the guy is asking $200. Haven't seen it yet. I realize a 4' might not clear the rear tires when angled, not a big deal for me. More concerned with how...

    B7100 ATV Front Snow Plow

    Posted earlier about trying to build brackets for my 1980 B7100 to mount a newly acquired Kimpex ATV snow plow. Made patterns for the side plates from 1/4" plywood, used 1.5" spruce to simulate square tubing & mocked up the whole bracket. Duplicated my wood patterns in steel & welded it up...

    B7100 Front Snow Plow

    mentioned in another post about picking up an ATV snow plow & brackets. I have seen a pic of a B7100 with a front snow blower & the mounting brackets were bolted to the tunnel/bellhousing area (roughly where clutch linkage is located) with 3 large bolts on each side. Would it be OK to attach my...

    Front Snow Plow

    Posted previously about a "hand-crafted" front snow plow acquired in a trade to fit my 1980 B7100. It was raised with a cable/pulley system from the 3 point hitch. Worked somewhat & could have easily been improved but I wanted to recover the use of the 3 point hitch for a rear blade. Wired up &...

    B7100 hydraulics

    Just took the hydraulic control lever/valve apart - lever was flopping around with no noticeable detent at the Neutral position. Large bolt holding spring & ball bearing was so tight I couldn't budge it, so had to take the upper lift arm off to un-bolt & remove the control valve. There was no...

    Kubota B series

    Where are the Kubota B series experts ?? Never paid much attention to the older models in the B series until I got my 1980 B7100. The B5100 seems a bit smaller, the B6100 seems about the same size as the B7100. What's the difference other than 2cyl vs 3 cyl motors? Also, B5000 vs B5100, B6000...

    1980 b7100

    Just got an unbelievable deal on this tractor - everything works, engine starts easily, no smoke or noises (head rebuilt & injectors serviced 2 years ago). Needs a bunch of TLC - lower lift arms bent, rear hubs loose (already figured out a repair with previous owner, a welder buddy from way...
