    Fuel shut off yes/no

    Any reason not to leave the fuel shut-off on all the time on a B7100? I never shut the fuel off on my Fords but the guy I bought the 7100 from made it a point to show me the fuel shut-off and said to always shut it off when it is parked. Twice now I have ran it out of fuel by forgetting to turn...

    Would anyone be willing to explain or show me how the factory routs the headlight wire on a B7100 HST? Can't believe it just hangs over the radiator Like it does on the one I have. Thanks

    Belly mower PTO U-joint

    Seems like everything I look at on this tractor needs attention. Removed the mid PTO shaft and discovered one of the U-Joints feels like it has gravel in it. Looked up the part number 76539-31180 and checked price. Just can't in my right mind pay $100.00 for a danged old U-joint. Has anyone...

    M11, 7/16, M12 what would you do?

    Discovered someone in it's past went gorilla on the bolts that hold the mid mount mower on my B7100. 3 bolts on each side for the front brackets to tractor frame. Most are now stripped 10mm welded nuts on the inside of a box. Near impossible to get to the back side to weld new nuts on. Did that...

    Coleman vs Messick's

    After seeing some recommend Coleman on the forum thought I would give them a shot at 3 items I needed for the B7100 I am resurrecting. Bottom line...

    Air filter bottom latch B7100

    I have two complete air filter assemblies from different generations of the B7100 and both have an issue with the bottom spring wire latch not latching properly.

    OOPS oil everywhear

    Know what happens when you change an oil filter and do not notice the old gasket didn't come off with the filter. You start the engine and create the biggest mess possible. Oil hits the fan which covers you and everything else in the shop then proceeds to dump 3 quarts of oil on your shop floor...

    b7100 radiator overflow whistle

    Nuther question. Keep reading about the radiator overflow whistle and wondering what/where it might be. Both radiators I have just have a tube routed down the side of the radiator to vent the overflow to the ground and what look like standard radiator caps. What is it that makes it whistle?

    B7100 hst dynamo

    Swapping a first generation motor into a 2nd generation tractor. Older motor has a 3 wire dyno existing motor has a 2 wire dyno. Thinking the regulator and wiring must go with the existing dyno right? Managed to get the dyno off the existing motor using a gear wrench on that lower middle nut...

    7100 HST speed control linkage

    Picture shows the existing speed control linkage that came on my B7100 HST. Looking at the parts diagram I am missing what Kubota is calling a Turnbuckle. Also I do not believe the top rod should be bent like it is. What has me wondering is neither rod has a left hand thread and they are...
