I just sold my little Kubota B6100D tractor and yesterday went to purchase a 1983 Kubota L275, which I'm super excited about (see picture). When I arrived, the guy selling it started the machine without any problem whatsoever. After it ran for about 45 seconds, I turned it off so we could chat...

I just took an order for a set of category 2 3-point hitch forks, but I can't seem to find how high to center the lower link pins from the base of the implement. Does anyone out there have a category 2 3-point hitch on their tractor that would be able to tell me how low their lower link arms go...

I am having trouble with the 1978 Kubota B6100 that was just rebuilt. I did a complete overhaul on the motor, and after running it for about 2 weeks this past winter, the rear main seal went on the engine, allowing engine oil to pour out of the starter when you ran the engine. From what I could...

I recently completed the engine rebuild on my 1978 Kubota B6100 and have just barely been able to put it to work with snow removal (we've been getting pounded in the North East). It takes me a couple hours to clean my driveway with this little machine and this morning the tractor started...

I have sorted the hydraulics for the loader due to the help of a tractorbynet user. I had the loader valve and rear auxiliary hydraulics valve in parallel instead of series, so it was a simple fix to get the that taken care of. Here's a link to that discussion...

Your posting makes perfect sense! Of course the valves would not work in parallel. I just ran out to the shop, dug through my bucket of fittings, and welded up the fitting I needed to connect the loader valve outlet to the valve inlet line for the rear auxiliary hydraulics. I also plugged off...

I wonder if the way I have the two valves plumbed in is causing the problem. I have attached a diagram to show how everything is plumbed. As a note, I had the rear auxiliary hydraulic ports installed before I installed and plumbed in the loader. Before all these changes, the rear ports worked...

Hi All, I have been posting info and pictures about a Kubota B6100 that I mounted a Kubota LA302 FEL on. I also rebuilt the engine on this one, but that really doesn't matter here. My problem is that the auxiliary hydraulics I plumbed in for the loader, and rear set of hydraulic couplers, are...

I finally dragged the loader arm assembly into the shop and mounted it up. I also have started working on the wiring. The machine now has a new ground and positive battery connection and I really just need to clean and re-wrap the wiring harness before installing it. There are only a few things...

So my fabrication shop has been super busy, and time is money, so I decided to hunt down a local place to do powder coating. I found in place in Bow, NH by the name of RS Powder Coating and brought a batch of parts to be coated. I picked up the batch of parts and the work is fantastic! The price...

I've made good progress and this project is very near completion for the winter, as I need it to plow snow with. The loader mounting frame has been mounted up, the auxiliary hydraulics have been fabricated/plumbed in and I'll be picking up a batch of powdercoated parts on Friday (and dropping...

I finally got to get some final paint done today. I'll be able to paint the underside of the main mounting brackets, along with the remaining parts of the connecting bars and front frame on Wednesday. I should be able to bolt everything to the tractor next weekend. I can't wait to make this...

I've gotten some more work done. I've welded in a bung to mount the block heater (right on the bottom of the radiator so it's well protected and out of the way), built a new aluminum grill (1/2" square stock frame, .120" perferated aluminum sheet with 1/2" holes, and 1" round aluminum...

Hi everyone. I know that this isn't an exciting thread, but does anyone out there in the northeast have a Kubota LA302 front end loader that would be interested in trading my 55" wide bucket for a stock 48" wide bucket? I'm currently mounting the loader on a little Kubota B6100, and this wide...
