    Towing B2601 with 14 ft trailer - SA or TA

    Out of curiosity what trailer did you go with and what tow rig are you using? I have the B2601 TLB and have a 2014 Tacoma Sport with tow package, still have no trailer.

    Kubota Says No Wheel Ballast With a Backhoe.

    I purchased my B2601 used with the BH, it came from dealer with the rear tires filled. I watched the Messick's video and from what I understood it is ride quality that he stated was the benefit of no fluid in the tires. If the tires are filled correctly there is still a air cushion in the tires...

    Transfer Switch for Generator Power in Outages

    I have a smaller version of the Reliance transfer switch, it works very well, not difficult to install (with some electrical knowledge), do not need to have power disconnected (pull meter) by the electric company. You do have to match the proper switch for the generator output and what you are...

    Change fuel filters

    I am not sure how the L3901 filter is set up, I believe that once you open the bleed valve all the air will be pushed out and when you get a full stream you should be good to go. Start engine and let it idle a few minutes to be sure it is running smoothly. I rebuilt Caterpillar fuel injection...

    Change fuel filters

    It is best not to pre-fill filters, as the fuel (and any contaminates) that you pour into the filter does not pass through the filter before going to the pump, this will cause premature wear to the injection pump if done on a regular basis.

    New b2601 Hydro creeps forward

    I installed the fitting to the center of the shaft. I did not remove the shaft, was able to carefully drill and tap outer shaft for a pipe thread zerk fitting. So far it has helped with the treadle pedal movement, however, I have not had very cold temps here so that has not been tested.

    New b2601 Hydro creeps forward

    I installed a grease fitting on my B2601 treadle shaft it does help some, just be sure you use very thin grease, or it will make peddle hang in cold temperatures.

    cracked transmission housing

    I think I would not take a chance with replacement of the bracket unless you could make a shield to protect the bracket, so it was not a reoccurrence. Even better would be away to fasten spring to something nearby with a zip tie.

    Rubber Floor Mats B2601

    It's possible that a chemical or fuel got on the mat and degraded the rubber. May have happened at the dealer and over a period of time affected the rubber mat. Would definitely go to the dealer and see if they will work with you on a replacement. Any idea what they cost?

    B2601 Wheel Spacers?

    I went with 2 inch mainly because I wanted the extra stability but I also have wooded trails and did not want to lose maneuverability through the woods. Also have to consider implement width as was stated. I used the double nut on the stud procedure, they are tight but I removed mine without...

    B2601 Wheel Spacers?

    I went with the Brotech 2-inch spacers on my B2601, no complaints a quality product and the cost was worth the extra stability. Installed my self, tires filled just went slow and carefully and had no issues. The factory wheel studs must be removed, again take your time and follow the included...

    B2601 Grill Guard

    I also used the expanded metal but used heavy duty zip ties, if something is going to go through the guard it will be pushing the screen against the existing guard. Both ways work and that's what counts.

    Stop the ROPS bar from loud squeaking when underway.

    I use a small piece of rubber glued on the lower part of rops, so that when you put the upper section up it pinches the rubber just enough to get the pins in. No rattle and no extra bolts to deal with.

    B2601 Coolant temperature gauge reading?

    I understand that diesels naturally run cooler and requires a longer run time to reach normal operating temp to burn off any moisture / condensation from oil and internal parts when being operated in colder outdoor temps. This is true for gasoline engines also but does not require as much run...
