Greetings, I just purchased a 3rd function kit from Summit and am the process of mapping out the hydraulic circuit. The other day I watched one of Neil from Messick's videos and he was addressing the issue of check valves to protect the system from pressure overload that can arise from forces...

Greetings, I have purchased a Worksaver grapple for my Kubota B2630/LA 403 and am looking at various Summit 3rd function kits for it. They don't have a kit specifically for my combination of tractor/FEL. They have one for a B2620/LA 364 and also a kit for a B3300/LA 540. I did contact them and...

Greetings, I have a problem with my 4 wd Kubota B7100 creeping forward. This happens regardless of whether the transmission lever is in fast or slow position and I don't have my foot on the forward/reverse foot rocker pedal. This occurs whether engine speed is at an idle or at higher r.p.m. and...

Greetings; I'm in the process of building a ballast box for my B7100. In fact the box is actually already done and after I did most of the welding I realized that I had forgotten to take one variable into account. I welded the attachment point for the top link in the same plane as the lift...

Greetings; I tried my hand at ploughing for the first time yesterday with decidedly mixed results. The first 2 furrows were okay (not the straightest) but on every pass after that, the sod from the second furrow would not completely flip over. The coulter slit the sod and I could see that the...

Greetings; I have a NAA Jubilee which will now barely hold up my 5' bush hog unless the tractor is at about 1/2 throttle. Hydraulic fluid levels are fine. What I would like to know is whether the tractor hydraulic pump is at fault or whether the lift cylinder needs a rebuild. How can tell which...

Greetings; I recently bought a used Howse RTC 48 rototiller. After I got it out of the back of the truck I noticed that I could turn the PTO shaft in one direction (by hand) and have the tines move, but not in the other. If the PTO shaft is turned CCW everything moves freely, it basically will...

Greetings; I am the new owner of a used Howse RTC 48 rototiller. It is a gear drive, six tine machine that can be set up to run in forward or reverse rotation. I am going to be using it in sandy soil and hoping to go from sod to soil without using other implements. The field is about 2 acres so...

Greetings; I am looking into purchasing a Nardi Rototiller-58" for use with 30 hp 4wd tractor. One of the ads I looked at suggests that the tiller is available with either "C" or "L" tines. I can image what the shape of the tines would be but not clear on the use or advantage of one over the...

Greetings; I have an L2550 GST with leaking rad. When the engine is running you can see fluid leaking out of the front of the rad. A new rad (quoted by a Toronto dealer) is $731 Cdn. Haven't taken it out of the tractor to take it in for a quote, but is recoring generally cheaper than replacing...

Greetings: As mentioned I am in the process of converting my Kubota front plow back to hydraulic left/right tilt. I am confused about the choice of cylinders. The 2 photos here show cylinders with 2 ports and a connector hose between the two cylinders. All of the truck mounted plows I have seen...

Greetings; I have a Kubota L2550 that has a 60" front mounted plow. At the moment it only has hydraulic up/down. The previous owner told me that it did have power left/right control but that the cylinders had seized and he had them removed and the plow converted to manual swing. I'd like to...

Greetings; I have a B7100 HST of unknown age, but definitely older. According to the manual and the plate on the tractor it has a D 750 DH engine. I'm not sure if this is the original engine as it has a water pump instead of the convection system that is most common on these tractors. I have 2...

Greetings; I've read a number of posts reminding owners to make sure that the ratio of the sizes of front and rear tires must remain the same to avoid stress on the front end when using 4wd. Does putting chains only on the rear tires create enough change in diameter to cause any problems if you...

Greetings; As mentioned by a couple of posters, it seems apparent that my B7100 does not have the standard thermosiphon engine . I Googled "Kubota water pump" and sure enough there is a line drawing of the same pump that is on my beast. I will be going up to my lot this weekend to confirm the...

Greeting All; Some time ago I posted a note explaining I had an over heating problem with my B7100. When I finally got around to taking out the rad and the oil cooler I could see why the fan was only running intermittently. It seems as if my tractor has a water pump and thermostat instead of...

I finally got around to making a front end adapter for my rear 3 point hitch implements. The unit hasn't been welded together in these shots and so, was simply bolted together with 1/2" nuts and bolts until I could get everything lined up and then get the unit back to the city to call in a...

Greetings; I hope this is an appropriate place to ask this question. Like many other posters I've been mulling over which size and type of welder to buy for a while and have narrowed it down to something like the Millermatic 180. There is one thing I'm not entirely clear on though. If I use...

Greetings; Finally made it up to my tractor this past week with a long list of things to do. I ended up taking off the hood of the tractor to be able to remove the exterior rad screen and to take a good look at the front of the rad and sure enough it's fairly plugged. It looks to me as if no...

Greetings; I am going to install a new set of glow plugs in my older B7100 tomorrow. I think they are likely the orginal set and even on a summer morning have to be left on for over a minute to get liftoff. I know my way around a gas engine but am a complete newbie when it comes to diesels. Is...

Greetings; My 7100 has an overheating problem. I have read through the archives and have made sure the rad is clear of all debris and that the rad is full. The little "whistle" device doesn't actually whistle but it does have a bit of steam and hot water coming out of it. Engine oil level is...

Greetings; While surfing the net looking for information on loaders I ran across this GIF of an ingenious idea for a rear weight. I'm not sure what size the image will appear as, but basically this rear weight appears to be a cast block of concrete with the hardware for a 3 point hitch...

Greetings; I'm looking at purchasing one of the tachometers (TinyTach) for my B7100. The transducer clamps over one of the injector lines. Unfortunately I keep my tractor a couple of hours away from where I live and don't have an opprotunity to measure this myself before the weekend. The two...

Greetings; Finally got a chance to spend some time with my new B7100. The question I asked earlier about the FEL going down a bit before going up can be resolved somewhat with a bit more throttle. I think that the idea that there might be a bit of air in the line has some merit, but the extra...

Greetings; First of all I wanted to mention that I have done a bit of reading on this but I'm still not sure what the answer is. I have a late '80's B7100 that I am going to be using for the first time this weekend. About the only fuel that is easy for me to purchase here in southern Ontario...

Greetings; I am new owner of an older B7100. I haven't really had much time to play with it as yet but I did notice one curious thing about the FEL. When you pull back on the lever to raise the FEL ,it often actually goes down a couple of inches before it goes up. As I said I have only used...

Greetings; I am trying to determine the age of a B7100 HST 4wd that I am interested in buying. Current owner isn't sure of exact year of manufacture. The serial # of the tractor is B7100HD54051 and the engine # is KU 0210. Is there a site that has a serial # database that would give me the...
