I’m sure you solved this sue by now, but the 8N has a pressure relief valve in the front of the engine above the crankshaft pulley. If the engine sits, sometimes the oil pump looses its prime and you have no oil pressure. Take out the bolt and you will find a spring loaded rod. Attach a tube to...

My new 8N 6V starter arrived today and I wondered if there is anything special I need to know to properly install it. I had no issues removing the old one other than having to loosen the oil canister to get the necessary clearance. Do I need to apply any lubricants to the bendix or the gear...

After years of using either my finish mower or my scoop as a counterweight and not wanting to spend $275-$350 on a steel ballast box for my Kubota B7510, I decided to fabricate one for my 2013 Kubota B2920. I looked at a number of homemade versions and included some of the features that I liked...

What started out as a search for R4's to replace my turf tires turned into trading in my 2005 B7510 w/FEL with 400hrs for a new B2920 w/FEL. I've actually been contemplating the upgrade for 3 years and finally decided I deserved it. Plus I got a great deal on the trade in. I'm not sure I'll...

I'm looking at trading in my very clean 2005 Kubota B7510HSD w/FEL 400 hours for a new B2920HSD with LA364 FEL and would like to know if this is a decent deal. Its always tough on a trade in as you are basically working 2 deals, but the bottom line cash outlay would be $6,460. They are quoting...

What started out as replacing my 2005 B7510 turf tires with R4's has now turned into a possible trade in for a new B2920. I've gotten over the first hurdle which was to convince my wife that it made more sense to trade in the tractor than pay $1085 for 4 tires and rims! My B7510 with FEL and...

I've got turf tires on my B7510 with a loader and would like to purchase a set of R4s so I can swap them back and forth. The dealer provided me a quote of $1,080 for the 4 tires with rims. Does this seem high or is that the going price? Thanks!

I have a B7510 with a FEL equipped with turf tires. I've been moving quite a bit of dirt lately and have been plagued with front tire problems. I'f like to go to the stiffer R4's, but replacing all tires and rims is > $1,000. Is it feasible to run R4s on the front and the Turf tires on the...

I've had my B7510 with a FEL for 5 years, is excellent condition and has 255 hours on it. However, I'm looking for a bit more power and am considering the B2920 with a LA364 FEL and R4s. I stopped by the dealer who sold me mine and he gave me price of $17,995. After I sent him some pics of mine...

I made the mistake of stopping by my local (Central New York) Kubota dealer where the new B2920 caught my eye. I could use a few more HP and loader capacity. With the exception of some dents in the bucket (LA302), my 3 yr old B7510 has 170 hrs, is well maintained, has never spent a night...

I have a ~1959 John Deere Diesel and was working the bucket when a log broke the hydraulic line. I repaired the line and added fluid, but the bucket won't dump. I can raise and lower the arms though. Is there a way to bleed the system? Any other advice? thanks!

B7510 Won\'t Turn Over I was using my B7510B with 41 hours on it Sunday to move some materials and then shut it off while I did some handwork. I got back on to restart it and the engine wouldn't turn over, not even a click. The battery is fully charged and the glow plugs and other idiot lights...

I use the 3pt hitch mounted scoop from my Ford 8n as a counterweight when operating the FEL.

My wife's approval for purchase of my B7510 last May was based on my repeated explanations of how much we would save by tackling many of our outdoor projects ourselves. While mowing the lawn was certainly one of them, landscaping our 3 year old house was her primary desire. So, with fall fast...

I was so excited when my B7510 with a LA302 FEL and 60" Bush Hog finish mower arrived 3 weeks ago that I forgot to get out the camera. So here is a pic of the new girl and the "oldgirl". Now I don't have to constantly change implements, I just switch machines. You can never have enough tractors!
