Apparently I don't have any good pics of my wagon frames... I'll have to go take some. For now: Back end of the hitch and the bale chute. It's hard to make out in the pic but the hitch receiver tube ties into the bottom of both sides of the bale chamber. The hitch pin plate is welded to...

OK, so the engine(s) aren't in one of my tractors, but in my trawler - Grand Banks / American Marine marinized Deere 6404 tractor engines with Roosa Master DM injection pumps. One engine, particularly when warm, occasionally stalls following shifting into gear from neutral (i.e. applying a...

I've got a mid 70's B7100DT that I got 5 years ago for $500 with the engine in bits in a cardboard box, but with a B219 loader. Unfortunately it had a cracked head (hard to find), so I put a D950 in it. I've built a boxblade, ripper tooth, toothbar and pallet forks for it, baled 490 bales of...

This was my 2nd year haying. Western Washington state, where it doesn稚 stop raining until July. Last year I did 480 bales with my little Kubota B7100 (!!), a New Holland 541 7ft sicklebar mower, Kuhn GRS21 (2 basket rake/tedder) and JD 14T. I rebuilt/repaired the mower and rake (made 1...

So as it goes, I've got the week off work, 20 acres mowed, 5 of it raked and ready to bale. About 10 bales into the field the feeder chain snapped (at 10 minutes to 5pm). A quick phone call to the parts store and they stayed open long enough for me to pick up a box of chain. While fixing...

As follow-up on my earlier post: I found some pictures of mowing and baling last summer with my B7100DT (without a live PTO), JD 14T baler and NH 451 7ft sickle. No pics got taken of raking with the Kuhn 2 basket tedder/rake. The tractor pulled a bit to the right with that mower hanging out...

We bought 40 used stall mats(100-ish lbs each and awkward as heck) on Saturday, "un-in-stalled", moved, loaded and unloaded them on my trailer. I decided I don't want to move them by hand again from where they are stacked... That, and a couple other ideas/project (paletized power-aerated...

2 horses and a big yard at our new house makes for a mountain-sized compost pile. I've been turning it with my Kubota B7100 FEL, but had trouble getting a proper bucketfull - the stringy stuff would sometimes roll out when I lifted, and driving into the pile to fill the bucket packed the...

I picked up (2) GRS-21 rotary rake/tedders last week that together looked to have enough parts to make one good one plus have spares of the expensive bits. I'm pretty sure they were both put together wrong in nearly every way possible by whoever had it before me (or before them since the guy I...

When running along flat ground at high speed (high 3rd gear at more than half throttle in 2wd) on my new-to-me B7100D-T there is an occasional/intermittent squealing that sounds like it's coming from the front of tunnel between the bellhousing and the gearbox. It sounds like a dry bearing kind...

I'm looking for an (affordable) cylinder head for my Kubota B7100. Engine models D650/D750/D850 or D950 should all work. I could be interested in a complete running D750, D850 or D950 (3 cylinder 16-20hp) motor for the right price. Thanks!
