Here are some more pics. It is getting closer to being done. Hopefully, today I can get the loader painted today and then get it installed tomorrow.

Killer Tractor and hood looks great in the pics. Are you going to be able to part with it? - I don't think I could. I think I remember you saying it had roughly 2K hours - My dealer claims the engines are rated for 5K hours and he's seen them in his shop running great at 8K. Lots of life left in that machine!

Honestly, when I saw the original pics I never thought you'd make it look like that!


Keep the pics coming when the loader is done plz.

BTW, what are the steel bars coming out from the frame near the front tires? Is that for the FEL??

That has been turned from a mistreated derelict into a very business-like looking little tractor ready for some serious work around an acreage. Congratulations on a very nice piece of work! Be sure to post some photos of it with the loader installed.

Well I got the loader hung, just have to put the valve, lines, and hoses on it now.

Sweet. Those front tires are sick! Where did you get new parts from? Any online resources? I'm looking for a place to get odd and end things for my B7100.

The tires are just 6-12 R1's from Les Schwab. I get all of my parts from the local dealer. I don't have the time or energy to be shopping around online. If I get the wrong part, or something that I end up not needing, I just take it back, no problems. I have spent 12 years of my career working in Kubota dealers so I know how their system works. The only parts issue I have had with this machine was that some of the decals are no longer available or have been replaced by a newer style. I even had to replace one of the bevel gear cases and it was in the local warehouse. A few of the other parts I needed had to come from Texas or Georgia, but not many.

Wow! I'd say that's some pretty great parts availability for a ~30 year old Kubota, wouldn't you guys? Parts sitting right there in CA, TX, and GA.. huh, imagine that. Gee, Beav, if I didn't know any better I would say that's about as swell as JD parts availability... but we all know theirs is way better than everybody else, right?
