Very pleased to hear I don't need to braze, thanks for the tip, it'll save much pain! Nice loader there Rob. It looks like they'll help me putting all the hoses on it too. The 'P' I notice on the control valve. Mine has that too. Should that then go the side closest to the 'P'ump and the one...

hi Maximus, you got there before me! Except I was going to ask what that rectangular block was, and then ask whether it would be easier to use than brazing on male fittings. If however it just comes fitted on certain B7000's, then maybe that answer's not so easy ;) It looks like a good thing to...

hi John, thanks for the reply. I can definitely see the benefit in making a loader around the cylinders, it makes life much easier later. I'm having trouble sourcing the welded end tube type cylinders in Australia that I need for the existing frame. You look like you used the single metal tab to...

I'm still waiting for it to arrive, then i'll post how it goes. I do believe they only got 7 as part of a load of parts, although perhaps there's more where they came from.

hi TopGear, could I ask some daft questions :confused: I have a loader frame for my B6000 and am looking to get the hydraulic cylinders and other fittings for it. What is the best way to measure the length of cylinder you need? Also, what size fittings did you get when you cut the pipe to the...

hi, I just took a punt on this PTO reverser, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110580577619#ht_1332wt_911 being usable on my B6000 with some mod's. I wasn't aware that Satoh/Mitsubishi also had reverse models. C-C bolt holes are 136mm across the top, 2x85mm c-c between the...

hi, I have just bought a s850 rotary hoe. It came with tines but not connected so I need suitable nuts and bolts for them, do you know where I might source them? I'm in Australia, but the U.S. or U.K. would be fine too. Also, connecting it to the tractor. I don't have the 4 nuts that will...

So, onto the next thing i'd like to check...has anyone removed the rear case? I'm following the thought that the piston is stuck at the bottom of its travel so need to get behind it. My rear case isn't wanting to budge. Surely it's not pressurised, so would it just be a matter of rust like the...

Hi Rob, have you seen these on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kubota-Compact-Tractor-wheels-and-tyres,-new-tyres._W0QQitemZ220534350075QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20100103?IMSfp=TL100103004002r10846#ht_510wt_1165

Inside the piston cover, looking in the bore! Well, I got another chance to look over the tractor. I left the penetrating oil in as you suggested Dusty-t and the cover came off with some force (for some reason I thought WD-40 or similar wouldn't go well here...). So, I syringed out some more...

hi Vic, How would I get that piston case cover off. Would a couple of pry bars or something of that sort be the only way? How would you go about it? While the control lever/valve appears to be vibrating and acting strangely, it does seem highly likely that piston is stuck. much appreciate any...

hi, I just ran the tractor for a few minutes with the existing pump and a proper level of transmission oil. It seems the problem is now showing itself elsewhere, no noise from the pump now, so that was I guess to do with the low oil level before. I'm still not 100% sure the pumps working, but...

hi Vic/Dusty-t, so, it sounds like that piston cover should come off without much trouble...interesting! It did feel odd, it twists left and right, top and bottom about 2mm, but take pressure off and it returns back into position. I was reluctant to really give it some stick, but wasn't exactly...

Thanks Dusty-t, that makes sense! I might just take off that pump and check it out. cheers, Dookanooka

B6000 hydraulic problems hi, well, I finally got an opportunity to check out the B6000's hydraulic problems. For starters, I emptied out the transmission oil which I think is about a litre under what it should be....not a great start. It looked a bit dirty, and a little silty right at the...

thanks for the replies. It's looking like the tandem is winning here! I had thought about the weight distribution and it'd likely be a lot safer and less stressful to tow with a tandem. I'm looking at moving a B6000 by the way, which is comfortably 7x4 let's say, but I think could squeeeze on a...

hi, what are people's thoughts on the best trailers to carry a Kubota without a FEL (and perhaps your opinions on it with a FEL too)? Single or tandem wheels, 7x4, 8x5 etc. I'd appreciate your opinions on it. I'm about to buy one and close to going single wheel 7x4 but would that be a mistake...

thanks for the response SD Vic, I guess the test ports would need to be brazed on. Would you need one on the inlet pipe, 1 on the outlet to get a reliable reading? Do you know of any adaptor or similar where I could place a test gauge in the place of a bolt leaving the pump for example? thanks...

to you experts out there (which is everyone other than me)....what is the best way to test that a hydraulic pump is working - to pinpoint that that's the problem as opposed to valve/blockage/filter etc. The main ways seem to be either some kind of gauge placed somewhere, emptying the...

hi TopGear, it was my thought too that the noise was from the pump. I've done some research since, and it would appear the hydraulic pump on a B6000 is a gear pump. Hearing those noises and thinking it's like disengaged gears coming together...mmmm...is a possible cause coming together here...
