Afraid I broke something today in the hydrostat. Just put the mower deck back on and went to lower it this morning and it wouldn't come down. Checked the linkage and noticed that one of the brackets on the arms that attach to the back of the deck was stuck. These are the brackets that the arms...

I added a power outlet with an electrical switch. It is just a standard rocker type and not waterproof. Evidently I errored as I have replaced it now twice. I googled marine switches but I'm not quite sure if that's what is needed. I don't want the type covered with a boot unless I have to so...

I have a B7610 that I have rebuilt the water pump now twice. (once by me and once by the dealer). It is now leaking again. Both the dealer and I have checked the fan blade and pulley to make sure they are not out of round so as to vibrate and knock out a seal. At this point I'm pretty disgusted...

Hope this is the right forum but if not I apoligize. I have been pricing 8" hose for my Trac Vac and it seems they're real proud of it. Best price I've seen so far is over $15 a ft. and I need around 8'. Add in shipping and you're at $150 or better depending upon the carrier. If that's what I...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not so bear with me if it's not. I need to replace one of the wheels on my Trac Vac (fence posts don't move) and can't find a part number for it. I have to think that Trac Vac buys them from another company but I don't see a name on the rim anywhere...

Morning All, The left side of my dash has no illumination with my B7610 Kubota. Does anyone know if there is a seperate fuse for each side or is it more likely that I have a bulb/s out? Hagman

I am not sure if this is the right catagory or not so excuse me if it's not. I remember a post recently I saw that showed a wood built work platform attached to a loader. I can find one that is built out of metal but not the wood built one. If anyone knows where I can find the post please let me...

Hello Everyone, My B7610 has a couple of dash light problems. The left side of it does not illuminate when the lights are on. Could each side be seperately fused? I'm also getting condensation on the inside of the glass covering the guages. Is there a seal that needs to be replaced to cure...

I had a neighbor of mine ask me about Deere compact tractors the other day. He asked what was the first step above a L & G X series so I told him the 2210 was probably his best bet as best as I knew. He came back and told me they were no longer available. Does anyone know what replaced them? Hagman

I just received my replacement seat from Messicks:). What a difference! The only question I have is why so long it took Kubota to make it? I put in about 4 hours seat time Saturday and after that my back actually felt good for a change :D. If anyone out there is still waiting on their...

I have a B7610 Kubota with a "squeaky" noise in the right rear hub. After a dealer mechanic looked at it I'm told the previous owner did not tighten it enough on the adjustment bolt and that it has "wallered out" the hub and needs a new one. I was getting new tires installed and the wheel was...

I just put the water pump back on now for the second time. :(The first time my dealer put a rebuild kit in it (seal & bearing) and it was fine for 35-40 hours then started leaking again.:mad: Took it back off and delivered it to my dealer who said the seal had somehow became loose and moved...

I don't know if this is the right forum or not so if it's not I apoligize. I bought a used Trac Vac recently and after converting the hitch to a standard receiver proceeded to alter the home made mower deck attachment that came with it. I only did this as I compared the factory one and this one...

I am on 3.5 acres with about 2.5 or so cleared. There are woods on 3 sides of my property. It is composed of honeysuckle etc. It requires that I trim it back continously to keep my driveway open, keep the wooded area from infringing upon what is already cleared etc. It takes the better part of a...

I'm looking at adding a rear blade for my B7610 Kubota. The local Farm N Fleet carries King Kutter blades starting with a 5ft. width. My questions are 1. Is King Kutter a good blade? 2. Is 5 ft. too much blade for my Kubota? I have not bought any new implements or attachments so my experience...

I have been considering adding some sort of "shock absorber" to my seat to mimic air suspension. My Kubota will rattle your teeth in late summer mowing.All the after market seats I have looked at don't hinge which would eliminate my access to the toolbox, hst fill etc on my B7610 Kubota. Has...

I have noticed of late that when getting above 2100 rpm while mowing with a MMM that there is a vibration that I can feel even in the steering wheel. The Gator blades were purchased just last August and I have pumped the grease zerks to the point I'm cleaning up excess grease from the pulleys...

I have been looking at quick hitches and saw one on Ebay that I am curious about. Rather than being made with a square tubing frame these just fit on the end of the 3 point arms. Since I have never owned a quick hitch does anyone out there have any experience with one of these? Are there pros...

This for Joel 4330 and anyone else that has made a soft cab out of a golf cart cover. Could you post or send me photos of it? It would be greatly appreciated. Hagman

Anyone out there replaced any MMM deck guage wheels with ones that were not OEM? Kubota is really proud of their's I found out. I was wandering if there is an aftermarket source for these. Hagman

Hello TBNers, I'm getting ready to wire in a 12 volt outlet and some work lights on my B7610. I'm looking at a parts manual that I downloaded and see references to both a dynamo and an alternator. I'm familiar with alternators but must confess I have little knowledge about dynamos. How do I...

Hello To All, I am in ther middle of doing a 400 hour service on my B7610 and have a question. I replaced a blue HST filter and drained the front & rear plugs on the left side (sitting on it facing the steering wheel). There is a grey filer on the right side looking like it's part of the HST...

Hello All, After busting my butt this weekend raking debri from an ice storm I had a thought. Maybe not a good one but a thought nonetheless. I know that you can buy lanscape rake 3 point attachments but has anyone ever produced or made a rake with flexible tines like the hand used version? It...

I was checking my B7610 for a coolant leak and sure enough its the water pump. I still have a powertrain warranty but have been told the water pump is excluded. My question is this: It looks to me like if I take the radiator out it would not be too difficult to replace it myself. Has anyone out...

I was talking to a neighbor recently about adding a soft cab to my B7610 Kubota. I mentioned that a couple of TBN members had modified a golf cart cover to create theirs. I was then informed that would be great but what am I going to do about circulating the air so the clear covers don't fog or...

Does anyone have any knowledge about the Simplicity L & G tractor with a 27 hp diesel? It's a briggs & Stratton which I suspect that they outsource to have made and if so who makes it? Hagman

After plowing snow for the second time this year I'm ready to consider a soft cab for my B7610. Does anyone know a source for a "reasonable" soft cab to fit a 7610? $2000 for the factory one is too much for my budget. Hagman

Well I finally did it. Got the B7610 stuck on the side of a hill. The snow is so deep that I hand shoveled tire tracks from my storage shed to the road but the grade was so steep that this time I just slid sideways down to the side of the brush barrier on my property. I have a neighbor that...

Well it's a winter wonderland in Central IL today. 10 -12 inches on the ground already and more still coming down. Winds are 25-40 mph and gusting so it's just paradise! I've had the Kubota out clearing mine and my neighbors drives but they just fill back up in a matter of minutes. Good thing I...

Hello fellow TBN's, Since I'm relatively new to tractor ownership I have a question to the more experienced members. I was not real impressed with the finished cut on my lawn with my B7610 and a 54" MMM. I added Gator Blades to it and they helped a lot but I still have not been impressed with...

I'm getting ready to do an insurance audit to make sure I have enough home owners insurance. As part of that I want to get an idea of what my present tractor is worth. It is a 2004 B7610 with a 54" MMM, LA352 FEL, R4's & a 5' Box Scraper that I bought used. I think it is an older Landpride...

My B7610 has been leaking coolant and I'm not sure exactly where it's coming from. It usually occurs after I have used it and it has set for awhile but occassionally it will drip while running it. The drip comes from underneath but I can't tell if its lower or dripping down from above.I tend to...

If anyone out there has a set of turf tires & rims for a B7610 they don't need I would like to buy a set. I have R4's on it now but have to change out both tires & rims to go with the turfs. Hagman

Hi to all, Does anyone know where I can buy turf tires for my B7610 other than the dealer? I tried our local Farm N Fleet but they don't handle them. Every time I do a web search all I come up with is lawn tractor sized tires. Hagman B7610 W/FEL, MMM & Box Scraper

Hello To All, Since I'm not the original owner of my B7610 and would have missed any notification is there any other place to check for any possible recalls other than a dealer? I don't know how common recalls for tractors are but as a former car mechanic I dealt with them on a frequent basis...

Hi All, Reattached my FEL this weekend on my B7610 and one of the quick connects is leaking. I looked but it appears to be snapping into the groove and I can't pull it out from the controle but I can hear and see it leaking fluid. Before I replace the connnector does anyone have any other...

Hello All, I am going to show my stupidity here but I keep seeing references to "rear remotes". Can someone explain to me what they are and the use of them? Thanks to all that reply.

Here's one that maybe only a dealer can answer. In pricing some turf tires for my 2004 B7610 I was told that I would also need to buy new rims as the turf tires are larger than the R4's that came with the tractor. Can anyone verify this for me? Hagman

I am considering buying a set of turf tires for my B7610. The tire sizes on the current R4s are different than what the Kubota site lists for my tractor. I have no experience to draw from when buying a tractor tire. Can I get some suggestions on a good brand and are the R4s sized differently...

I recently purchased a set of the Gator mulch blades and have to say it made a huge improvement over the stock Kubota blades. I asked my dealer if Kubota made a high lift blade for my 54" deck (RCK 54-24B) and he said no. I am considering blocking off the discharge side of the mower to see if...

There are probably older threads out there that deal with this question but as a relative "newbie" I haven't seen them. Has anyone made anything that replaces a ballast box on the rear 3 point? You all have much more experience than I do with improvising attachements. Hagman

Greetings fellow tractor owners, (darn it feels good to finally be able to say that) This may have been covered in an earlier discussion so if it has I apologize for the duplicity. The dealer I purchased my tractor from is about 4 hours away and I discovered that they had missed the 300 hour...

I recently purchased a used 5' box scraper to use with my B7610. I was getting ready to hitch it up and play with it and noticed on the Kubota web site that the largest size they offer is 54". Is it possible that the 7610 won't pull the additional 6" of weight? On another subject I have been...

Hello Fellow Kubota owners, After buying a used B7610 with the 54" mmm I am now trying to figure out how to adjust the mower drck properly. It was never done by the previous owner and when raising the deck up the front wheels still make contact with the ground. I know that the mowing heigth is...

Greetings to all, I am a "newbie" tractor owner. Just bought a Kubota B7610 w/MMM,FEL & 3 point hitch to maintain 3.5 acres & white rock drive. My neighbor swears by gill rakes over box scrapers for an application like mine. Does anyone out there have any experience with using both? If so...

Hello fellow tractor owners, I just bought my first compact tractor and wanted to get some feedback on it. It's a B7610 Kubota with 360 hours on it. FEL, MMM & three point hitch. A few scrapes & minor dents but comes with a 1 year warranty left on the loader & tractor. R 4 tires with wear on...

I was told in another forum that lawn & grden tractor sales are slow. Does neveryone find this to be the case? My unit I am going to sell is a J.D. X585 w/25 h.p, w/4 whl dr, hydro & 54 deck. I am going to move up to a compact and assuming that I am realistic about price (I'm in central IL) does...

Hello, I'm new to the compact tractor forum. I have a J.D. X 585 garden tractor and need to move up to a larger unit. My present one is a 2003 w/25 h.p. kawasaki mtr, hydro, 4/whl dr, 54 mulch deck and can accept a 3 pt hitch. Presently it has 210 hrs on it. Does anyone know what I should ask...
