My first post. My first kubota.
I may have bought a pig in a poke buying this B7100 . I needed a small tractor but bigger than my Gravelys. The price was right $2500 and 750 hrs. it was very clean for its age no leaks etc. and I knew If I didn't buy it in the morning it would it would be gone in the afternoon. well it purrs like God intended good little tractors to, but after awhile, say 15 minutes of low idle the low oil pressure light came on. So I increased the rpm a little and the light went off.
So I blithely went about my business playing with my new toy when the pesky thing came on again I increased the rpm it came on again. Well I don't know much about tractors but I know about idiot lights so brought it back to the barn. And started calling any one that could help and joined this forum.
Some people say its the sending part thats gone, other say it's the oil pump.
Hopefully with only 750 hrs it's not the pump. I didn't have the oil and filter changed because I was told that it had just been done 20 hrs ago.
There is plenty of oil, black as tar, also normal in diesels I'm told. I have a friend coming with an oil pressure gauge and will change the oil and filter.
Any other tips or suggestions are welcome.
