I have a 1996 Yardman 19.5 / 46 which I just bought. I've bought the sleeve hitch for the box blade that I'm going to get but want to know if a snow / dozer blade needs anything else to attach it? I've had compact tractors before and don't know much about the lawn tractors. Harris

I've got a Kioti LB1914 with a loader. I want to change the hydraulic oil and engine oil. Under the seat there is a opening that says oil but it has no dipstick. I don't see oil in it. so here's the questions. Is there a sight glass or dipstick to tell me if it's down? How much oil does...

Anything I can do here. I've got 400 hours more than the tractor should have because a friend left the key on. Now instead of 212 hours I've got 616 hours. Help.

I have one area that is about 3/4 acre, about 75 ft wide and is downhill. (Or uphill. Depends on how you look at it.) At the bottom of the hill is a drop off. I don't know grades but if you tried to go sideways, over you'd go. I have a Kubota B7510hst and an Agric tiller which is quite...

I have a kubota 21 hp B7510HST and have questions about putting a 3pt backhoe on it. Will it work without a subframe or will it twist everything? If it needs a subframe, about how much is it's cost installed? Will the hoses used for the hydraulic top link tilt be sufficient? Harris

A friend of mine has a BX 23 and has a question about moving the tractor forward while using the backhoe without turning the seat around. He now gets off the rear facing seat, turns it around, moves the tractor a few feet, turns the seat around again towards the backhoe and starts digging...

Is it possible to use the back of the box blade with the tractor in reverse for snow removal. With the cost of christmas, spending money for a back blade is out of the question. Living about 35 miles north of Portland, OR, we don't get a lot of snow but 3 years ago, when I didn't have a...

I have a HF 12" sliding chop saw that I don't use alot. If I put a metal cutting disk on it will it work for cutting metal? Harris

The title says it all. Mostly, where do you buy your wire and what do you pay. In the beginning I'll probably use .035 flux core because I don't have a gas bottle yet. Is there much difference for a novice like me to build projects using flux vs gas. Most of my welding will be done outside...

I have my hydraulic top link on the way and decided that I'll put a spool valve on to go between the curl and top link. The person that will be doing it says I need a double spool valve to do that. I thought that the previous info given to me here was that a single would work. I'm ready to...

I have a Kubota B7510HST but I think a lot of people with HST have the same problem. I love the HST theory but because of of a physical problem, I have a hard time lifting my ankle and rear of my foot up to hit the reverse pedal. I mentioned it to a guy at the local Kubota Dealer and he said...

I have posted a number of times about diverters, spools etc. and just didn't get what was being explained. My erroneous reasoning said that you disconnect from the curling function and went to the spool from there. Wrong... What I understand now is that you have to hook the spool to incoming...

I know that there are fixed thumbs for backhoes. Has anyone seen info on one that would work for a tractor bucket or one that uses other than hydraulics? What was used for this function before hydraulic grapples became popular? Is there more than one way to do this? I did a search but...

It looks like I'm going to get a top link hydraulic cylinder from Redlandhill on Ebay that already has the ends welded on. However it's goes from 20" to 28". I have a HF quick hitch on the back and my current top link only extends from 18" to 26". Will the extra 2" cause a problem of any kind...

I've searched the archives but haven't been able to find this info. I have a Kubota B7510 with FEL and want a 3ph top link that moves without me getting off the tractor. After looking at all the info given on my previous posts, I've decided to forget the other mechanical and electrical ways to...

After this last hard rain, for the first time I have cuts in the gravel on my driveway. I've tried pulling the the box blade lightly over the gravel but find it bunches up in the box and then drops out in a mass. I try to lift the box slowly to release the gravel but I can't seem to get...

About 10 years ago I had a grey market Misubishi that had an ELECTRIC top n tilt that worked great. Since I just bought my new Kubota B7510 and use my box blade alot, I'd like to see if it's possible to install something like this on the tractor. I'm recently retired and paying $900 or more...

In a previous thread, I mentioned that I was given an Agric tiller. One problem with it is that the dirt shield has been backed into something and can't be raised. The ends of the shield are buckled so I can't figure out how to take it off. When I run the tiller the shield acts like a back...

I was just given an Agric tiller built in 1997 in Italy according to it's tag but there is no model number. It's been setting for 4 years and seen it's share of abuse but works great. 1) I looked for a place to drain the oil and replace but can't find one. Do most tillers have sealed oil...

I have a B7510hst and want to remove the bucket so I can put on another attachment that I'm having made. It will fit on the loader arms. There are a total of 4 pins on the arms with cotter pins. Anything special about taking off the bucket and replacing? Harris

I have a B7510HST with 23 hours on it. Recently, there has been an intermitent problem with starting. Since it is intermitent, it would probably be almost impossible for the shop to find the problem. 98% of the time there is no problem. When it doesn't start I check all the obvious items...

In a previous thread, it was mentioned that a manual diverter would also work for diverting the curl to a 3ph tilt. The manual runs a whole heck of a lot less than an electric diverter. What is the benefit to buying an electric instead of manual? Harris

I have not seen this addressed when I searched the posts. I have a need for the 3ph top link to be hydraulicly activated but will have no need for the bucket while I'm using the 3ph. Instead of using a remote or a diverter is it possible to quick disconnect one of the hoses to the loader and...

I've searched the posts and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I can't afford a backhoe and would like to dig some small holes for landscaping and to also remove and replant some of our bushes and flowers. Because I only have 15% left of one of my disks I cannot use a shovel or do any...

With a bad back, I had a hard time turning around to see how deep the ripper teeth were on my boxblade when I use them for churning things up. I've put rear view mirrors on my tractor and since the boxbade is a foot wider than my tractor, I can see a ripper on both sides. Problem taken care...

I have a Kubota B7510HST and have a question about trying to lift when the load is more than the FEL or 3ph will lift. Is there a bleed off valve? If there is when it operates, does it lose hydraulic fluid? Can someone tell me how the system works? Harris

I have a bush hog that I bought a short time ago. My land is mostly 15 degree or better slopes and the terrain is quite uneven. To be safe, I mow up and down the slopes. Actually because of some of the terrain I can't always tell if it's up or sideway because it's deceptive I find that a...

My buddy has a YM1500 and want's to find a source for parts in the Northwest. 2 questions: Does anyone know where to find parts (nothing specific right now). Is there a non grey market tractor that uses the same parts? Harris

Here's an idea for those of us that are, shall we say, not thin. I mean really not thin. I love my B7510HST and everything except one control is easily accessable. It's the round 3ph valve knob between your legs, almost at the floor. What I found was because there seems to be part of my body...

I've got a B7510HST with a toothbar on the bucket. I was going to weld hooks to the bucket for lifting with a chain but I have a question. Is there any reason that I can't turn the bucket so the teeth are pointed up, then wrap the chain around the teeth and lift? Harris

Might be a silly question but with the downward power of a FEL, is it possible, if you attatched a wedge to the bucket, to split firewood? Yes, I'm always looking for an inexpensive (cheap) way to accomplish things without abusing my equipment. Harris

1) I have read that some implement attachments operate better using the float position on the 3point. However it seems that the B7510HST does not have one. Can anyone with this tractor tell me if I am missing something or is there another way to make an attachment float when using a bush hog...

I have a friend who has offered me the use of a PTO driven post hole digger. My tractor is a 21HP B7510HST with a PTO of 16HP. Is there anything special about phd's that would limit my use of this. Is the 16HP PTO sufficient to use a 6" auger? Harris

I've seen info about making a boom pole for the FEL and the 3ph on this site. I haven't seen anything that addressed using a portable fork for one. I've got a Kubota 7510hst that I made 3 1/2 foot portable forks for out of 4" channel. Is there any reason that one of the forks can't be used as...

Just read my manual for my B7510HST again and it says that front ballast maximum is 165lbs. The bucket on the loader is about 125lbs. What I've done in the past is put 6 to 8 concrete blocks in the bucket when I'm using the bushhog on my slopes. I'm not sure what the total weight with the...

Things do happen fast. I thought I was going up hill but the hill has a compound slant. My front wheel went into a hole I couldn't see and before I could react, over I went. It actually wasn't a frightening as I thought it would be. It was easy to get it back up on the tires using a strap...

I'm getting a Markham tooth bar for my B7510HST. I'm also making portable forks made from heavy steel channel that I had. For those of you that have both a tooth bar and forks, do you take off the tooth bar or put the forks on over the tooth bar's cutting edge? The combined thickness of the...

In a recent post someone mentioned a rod type bucket level indicator. Can someone tell me what that is please? Have you put any other type of indicators on your tractor? Harris

I don't mean to nit pick (yes I do) but I keep seeing hydrostatic being called both HST and HSD. In fact it's both ways in my B7510 HST (or is that HSD) manual. My decal on the tractor says HST. Not really that important but inquiring minds want to know. HZ

The other day when I asked about using a tooth bar on my B7510HSD FEL to till with, overwhemingly everyone answering the thread said no. Someone mentioned using the rippers on a box blade to till. Just after that, a friend gave me a 5ft box blade he doesn't use anymore. Can I get some info...

What if anything are you doing to carry tools? There's no room behind the seat and the little one under the seat is good for about a screwdriver and a adjustable wrench. I was thinking that I might attach a bracket to the bracket that holds the safety triangle, attach the toolbox to that and...

On another thread, someone mentioned a carryall from TSC. I'm new to this forum. Could someone tell me about a carryall and how to contact TSC. They said that the price was about $80. Thanks hz293

I just got my B7510HST and love it already. Just the right size to get around some tight places I have. My question has to do with carrying it around in the bed of a 3/4 ton Ford F250 diesel. Based upon gentle prodding from my wife, I promised that besides the FEL and brusher that there'd be...

I searched for any info on this but couldn't find anything. It's late in the season but I just bought my B7510HSD and am getting a tooth bar for my FEL. We're planning on a small garden and since I don't have a roto-tiller, could the teeth be used to scarf and break up the soil to plant late...
