    Home Brew Pressure gauge setup

    Got a B21. Seems to be a "screw and jam nut" adjustment for hydraulic pressure. I was going to cobble up a pressure test rig that I would plug into the backhoe supply, "in series", so the BH could still operate, if I chose to do so. The test rig would be a simple "T fitting", a 3000 psi...

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    I saw a post in a Kubota FB group about EA declaring bankruptcy. Thought it was BS as it originated on a TYM group, but the EA FB group is "paused" as of 2/1/2024 Their web site appears unchanged. I called but could only leave a message. Anyone know the real scoop?

    B21 right floor pan removal

    Replacing the HST damper. The "neutral centering" seemed a bit "loose" to me, so decided to take a look. Gotta remove the right floor pan to get a good look. Got the pan "free", by removing a number of bolts, some very reluctant, the brake springs and the parking brake lever. But . . . I...

    Replacing HST Damper (32721-43350) on B21

    Any advice on how to change the Damper for the HST pedal linkage on a B21? None is currently installed, as the PO replaced it with an arrangement of springs. At the time of purchase I had no clue that was not "stock". Pretty pricey for a shock absorber and wondering if I really need to replace...

    BT 571 backhoe on B21 TLB, repairing

    While taking things down to remove boom cylinder for reseal, took on replacing some bushings in that area as I felt there was "too much slop" as I moved the boom. Seemed like the pivot and such were a bit free. I found two bushings, or "inner rings" on the swing frame where the boom pin goes...

    B21 BH (BT751) off tractor servicing

    Planning to reseal boom cylinder. The BH is in the "removed from tractor" position, which makes it a task to remove the boom cylinder. The swing cylinders are out as I resealed them and figure it is easier to move the boom, etc, when they are not in the way. I expect to replace the...

    FYI - Kubota cotter pin

    FYI - The Kubota cotter pin, p/n 75599-53266 (7/32 x 2 1/2) that is being supplied in a sealed and labeled package is actually only 1/8 x 2 1/2. It is about half the thickness of what it is spec'd to be. I've informed the online dealer and they are looking into it. Yeah, I could get cotter...

    Tire/Wheel assembly. For Real?

    pondering replacement front tire and looking at Messick and others, find Kubota #32721-50500 ASSY TIRE/WHEEL for around $200, which is more than half what the cost of a single wheel and single tire. And it comes mounted? Am I hallucinating? What tread is on that tire?

    B21 "pop/clunk". In drive line?

    Once in a while have experienced a "pop/clunk" and a bit of a "jerk" when starting out and just rolling slowly. Could be my imagination, or being on gravel, but is seems a bit "bumpy" too. It only does it occasionally, not constantly or consistent with any particular motion, maybe when...

    B21 Valve lash adjustment procedure?

    While running the engine at around 2500 RPM, searching for the source of a suspected fuel leak, it seemed to me there was some "valve clatter". It may be entirely normal, this is my first Kubota, but it got me searching the WSM for a procedure and recommended service interval. Much to my...

    B21 fuel leak at injector/head junction

    Began noticing fuel smell while working. After a few hours shut down and noticed some dripping, found a puddle of fuel at the injector closest to the cab. Well, I call it a cab. Cleaned up, started engine ran at 2500 and watched. Puddle began to form and could see some bubbling where the...

    Specs on hydraulic adapter/elbow

    I'm have added a spool valve for a top and tilt and am down to the final hose routing/building. Need to find a route for the valve "Tank" return. Choices seem to be running from the rear to the front fitting on the FEL control or, to that same steel line, but where it dumps into the tank...

    B21 speed/motion control.

    Looking for some photos of a bone stock the forward/reverse pedal mechanism. Mine has some "play" in there and sometimes does not completely return to neutral just from releasing the pedal. Seems to be missing the "HST damping" device that is apparently to prevent rocking too fast from fwd to...

    Replacement for obsolete hydraulic connector?

    'Looking for a replacement/equivalent for an obsolete Kubota fitting. It's a "bulkhead connector" p/n 70090-20966 "straight thread bulkhead connector 9/16-18 SAE" (aka ORB or #6 SAE ORB). The quick connect couplers that came with the top and tilt kit (may have got the last one) are 1/4"...

    steering "drag link" B21

    Is there an alternative to replacing the entire drag link (p/n 32721-57713), which goes for over $200 USD? The ends look pretty much like "tie rod ends" but are welded and not threaded. One end has annoying play in it. I can live with it till it breaks, at that price.

    top and tilt kit for Kubota B21.

    Kubota numbers are B8032 for the 3pt bits and B8042 for the 3rd function stuff. Anyone have new or used? Or have diagrams, etc, showing how factory did it with those kits? Decent aftermarket stuff?

    Add hydraulic top link

    Got a B21 with existing 4 in 1 wr long bucket and control valve. Just got a box blade/scraper and wondering how I would hook up the valve and what kind to use. I doubt I can find a kit all made up already.
