I've looked in the owners manual and the service and maintenance manual but can't seem to find the torque for the rear wheel lug nuts for my B7610. Does anyone know what the torque is for these rear wheel lug nuts? Thanks, Dave

I was moving some wood around this morning in my firewood area and thought I'd post some pictures of my B7610. One of it's jobs is to skid in logs, stack them and then "hold" them when I section them for the splitter. Just one of its' many jobs around here. I modified my already very useful...

I've had and used a rear blade for years on my B7610 for snow removal. Its a KingKutter that I purchased from Tractor Supply. I have the blade adjusted so the cutting edge sits flat when set in a normal (straight forward) position. However, when I angle the blade it never allows the cutting...

It seems my tractor (a 3 year old B7610) is showing signs that of developing a leak on the left front axle at axle flange interface. I did a search and see that this is the typical location for a leak on the front axle of these tractors. The "leak" is more of an oily film developing on the...

I have used 2,4,D on field corn, but never my sweet corn, which is the Kandy Korn (se) variety. Has anyone ever sprayed Kandy Korn with 2,4,D and if so, did it cause any damage to the corn itself? I think it should be OK since Kandy Korn is a sugar enhanced variety and not a super sweet, but...

I know that oil consumption in this model CC has been discussed in a number of threads over the past couple of years. I perused several of them and noted that most oil consumption issues seem to clear up after some time. Except mine! I seem to be loosing about 5 oz. of oil each time I mow...

I am mounting a spray tank and boom to a three point hitch platform that I fabricated from angle iron. My question is... Does the upper link connection point have to be in the same vertical plane as the lower link arms connection point? I know they are on most 3 PH hitch implements, but not...

I am planning to install Kubota frame stiffeners on my B7610. These are the stiffeners required before attaching a Kubota 3 pt backhoe. The stiffeners bolt to the rear axle housings. This requires removing three bolts on each axle housing where they attach to the differential case and...

I am considering putting a coating like Line-X on the underside of my mower deck (for my CC 2550). My hope is it would extend the life of the deck. Has anyone ever done this or something similar? Any experience or words of wisdom one way or the other? Dave

In preparation of installing some hooks on my loader bucket I spent several hours over the past week or so reading up on previous posts from all the forums concerning bucket hooks. Very informative!! After all this reading, I have decided on my approach. But I do have some questions (even...

For the those of you that use a B7610, do you notice a change in sound between when the clutch is engaged versus when it is disengaged? Not saying it is a bad sound, but I can clearly hear a change in sound coming from the clutch housing. Everything else seems fine its just there is a change...

I completed the 10 hour service on my 2550 today as recommended by the owners manual. Everything went pretty good including changing the hydro filter after lifting the front end up in the air as high as a floor jack could lift. I only lost about 3/4 qt of fluid. However, while greasing the...

Have about 7 hours on my new 2550 and I really like and think I made the right choice. I've mowed the yard twice and after the second time I took the deck off to check things and noticed the blades were pretty nicked up. Now, I have a yard rather than a lawn, but I haven't hit any stones or...

I am the proud owner of a new Cub Cadet GT2550. I mowed my hilly 2 acres with it already and I am quite happy with it so far. I was considering a John Deere X320, but felt the GT2550 was much more tractor for less money. And since I have a lot of hills, I was more comfortable the the cast...

Hello Fellow TBN'ers, As part of the 50 hour maintenance Kubota recommends that the clutch pedal free travel be checked and adjusted if needed. I have tried to perform the measurements as provided in the manual and just can't seem to get repeatable and accurate measurements. I have tried dial...
