I need information on the cylinder cap plug for the lift on my B5100. The Kubota part number is 06311-25040. I have looked it up in my manual and through internet searches but nowhere does it state what TYPE of plug it is. I've seen on here where someone had a line plumbed into it for a plow...

There are systems that captured the blowby and let it push through a filter element that separated the oil (and filtered it) and let it drain back into the crankcase. Of course it depends on how much you use it too. I had a Kohler Command that had blow by but it wasn't too bad so I just ran the...

Wow, I completely forgot to follow up to this thread. So I figured that before I tear the engine down I better check it with an actual gauge and sure enough there is no problem with the oil pressure. Cold 1400rpm: 55psi Cold 4000rpm: 60psi Operating Temp 1400rpm: 30psi Operating Temp 4000rpm...

Thanks for the reply. I guess there could be a possibility that there might be a little too much oil, I'll double check. My yard is pretty much flat so it shouldn't be a sump issue.

What is strange is that when my light has come on, it is full on with the throttle up at mowing speed. When I idle it down the light just flickers real dimly like the psi is boarder line low. Anyway, I still haven't torn the engine down but the last three weeks I've only mowed with it for right...

Have you looked for an automotive offroad tires similar to what 284 International recommended? If you were closer I would trade you my 28x8.5-15 turfs...

Tim, Do you know what size that metric thread is? Mowed yesterday and again, right before I finished the light came. Looks like I need to put a gauge on it.

the pictures are tiny... they did attach though. regarding the tiller... it's probably junk and I'll come pick it it up and get it out of your way when every you'd like. seriously though. congrats on the purchase, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I love my little 5100.

Finally found a battery that will fit (BARELY!!) but it is 540cca :D So this evening I pulled the old cables off and found what could have been the problem... The cables are older than I am... If you look at the middle pic that has the bat term you can see there was a huge gouge in the...

ditto! We want more feedback!

Finished product looks factory built! Any idea how much you've invested in that? I like the quick disco for the bucket. What pump is that? I've considered using the front electric PTO clutch and running a pump with a belt.

Looks nice. What are dimensions on the bucket? What size cylinders do you plan to use?

No, no battery just touched the multimeter leads to the battery cables. I didn't get a chance to check the dyno... I did have the battery checked and it's junk. Now I just need to find a replacement. Hard to find that small of a battery with top posts.

I put the battery back in and nothing... so I put jumper cables from my truck to the bota's battery terminals (with the battery out) and it fired right up, I'm sure the battery is dead. Motorhead, thanks for the info. I actually did meter the tractors bat leads and I got about 12 at idle and...

Great reply! Thanks for the help. I will research the camshaft plug you speak of. I did see where someone added a T at the pressure switch and installed a guage... I'll look into that also. I put the battery on the charger and will inspect/clean the wires and terminals when I put it back in.

Thanks for the reply. One question though, could you kindly show me to the "archives" section? Are these "archives" dedicated to the B5100 tractor and/or the Z500 engine? The reason I ask is because I searched the normal SR&M section and got tons of results with none of them actually pertaining...

Love what you are doing here! Keep up the good work and keep up the pictures! Question, so it make sure I understand, the "fish poo water" pumps into the beds (that are filled with river rock) around the clock or just certain times? Another question; what is the reason for the retaining...

Background: I recently picked up an old B5100E. It doesn't have an hour meter so I have no idea how many it has. It blows a puff of black smoke on start up but none after that. The oil was BLACK when I got it and I have no idea how many hours were on that oil and filter so I changed it. I had...

The extra weights have 4 bolt holes and two semi-circle notches. They are about 14.25" OD and probably weight 30 lbs each... I couldn't find any names but there is a long string of numbers cast into them as well as a symbol that almost looks like the IH emblem. They are so rusted that it's hard...

if each beam is 65, it looks like somewhere around 400 lbs. looks like it does the job!!
