My B7800 is 13-years-old with 1100 hrs. The tractor shut down after I used it for two hours. I found the 5 Amp fuse that protects the key switch was blown. I replaced fuse, turned on the engine and it shut off after a couple of seconds. Same fuse blown. The third fuse didn't even operate the...

Thanks for the help JJ. I went to take a picture of my loader valve as it looks quite different from the one you posted. Are these the parts that I need to take out and clean/lube? Also. If I take these parts off, are there a bunch of small parts that will be lunched into outer space by a...

$2.99...or so. No spills in years.

This happened yesterday in Bangor, Maine. I will say nothing more. Stay safe wherever you are. http://bangordailynews.com/slideshow/man-crushed-in-bangor-during-independence-day-parade/?ref=relatedSidebar

I bought a set of old ring chains and modified them to fit my tractor. I bent the rings to match the curvature of my tires and added extra teeth to make it a smoother ride. All that work turned out real well except that the new "teeth" I added to the rings are wearing very quick. They are...

A few days ago I bought a used O/A torch setup that came with a hose and oxygen and acetylene regulators. They guy fired up the torch (he was out of Oxy) but burned some acetylene so I could see it work. When I got home and looked at everything in detail I noticed that the acetylene regulator...

I remember reading somewhere that a gold-tinted #9 lens is a good choice to use with a stick welder when welding outside on a bright day. So. Is there any merit to this, or I just don't have my memory straight. Since I always weld outside I thought it might be worth spending $10 for another...

Hi all, I have been considering buying a drill press for quite some time. I found a used one near-by but the lowest drilling speed is a bit of a concern. The slowest RPM is 380 and I wonder if that is slow enough. I have been drilling with a rather large variable-speed hand drill and there is...

After a long time waiting I finally got around to starting my logging winch project. I have been looking for a used logging winch for several years but they are very expensive if ever come up for sale. So. After seeing some PTO powered winches on Craig''s list I finally bought an old wrecker...

I'm thinking of buying a winch that is powered by a hi-torque hydraulic motor. The seller says that it is hooked up so the motor directly drives the drum. I checked the specs on the said motor and according to the manufacturer it is a 250rpm @ maximum input of 20 GPM/3000psi. My tractor...

I just got my garden emptied out a few days ago and I have about 40-50lbs of carrots and about 20-25lbs of beets that I want to store. Previously this bounty would get put into an unheated room and then use it while it lasts or until it goes bad. I remembered that years ago my grandmother used...

... BUT these guys proved me wrong. It also proves that these little tractors are tough as nails. YouTube - How to load a Kubota tractor on a trailer!!! Episode 1 YouTube - How to load a Kubota tractor on a trailer!!! Episode 2

I'm about to start my happy adventure of reshingleing my house. I bought a used roofing nailer that seems to function just fine except that it does not drive the nails into the wood far enough. They need to be driven about 1/16 to 1/8" deeper. The nail gun is a Bostitch RN-45-1 and it seems...

There is an Ingersol H-70 42" tiller for sale locally and I'm thinking about buying it. I was wondering if it is something I can run with the hydraulic remote valve on my tractor. The total hydraulic output of my machine is 9.5 gpm so that might work. The recommended flow for the motor on the...

I bought a "used" #9000 capacity Mile Marker hydraulic winch for later fabricating onto a logging winch. The winch has no cable (it has never been used or installed). I went to a local place that sells cable and they have 5/16 aircraft cable but no specific winch cable. The aircraft cable...

I'm looking for advice on a conversion dilemma. I found a set of lower link arms and stabilizers for sale locally that are for a much larger tractor then mine. I have Cat I 3ph and these arms are for a Cat II. What I hope to gain is the telescoping lower links and the rigid stabilizers...

I just got a used Bush Hog FTH720 that seems like was used but not much. The thing is that the previous owner has not used it about 2-3 years and the lower seal in the gear box gave up and leaked out all the oil. I know that there was oil in there because the top of the deck was smelling like...

I bought a Bark Buster screw type wood splitter and I need to get a PTO shaft for it. My question is do I have to get one with a shear pin like the ones for snowblowers or some post hole diggers or a straight forward shaft will do. I don't know if they originally came with either or as the one...

I bought a used Meteor snowblower last winter and didn't get any of the manuals with it. Could someone who is familiar with this kind of blower let me know what the suggested maintenance is on these units? I tried to look for some oil drain plug but have not managed to find one. It wasn't a...

I'm in the process of building a trailer and picked up an "A" frame coupler for it. It seems well made but I wonder if anyone has seen this setup before. I don't want to weld it on and realize I should have gone with something else.

Hi all, After the recent winters with lots of snow I decided to look into a rear mount snow blower. The effectiveness of a snow blower is certainly indisputable but I have a unique situation to consider. My house is about 50ft from the road and a good portion of the area I need to clear is...

Hi all, I'm considering buying a used 42" Howard tiller. I don't know anything about 3ph tillers so I would need some pointers what to check on it. Unfortunately the ground here is frozen solid so a "test drive" is not possible. I read that it is a reliable brand, but how do I check it for...

I have been thinking about fabricating something for the 3ph that would make a few thing easier in my life. So. I came up with this franken-hitch thingamabob that will allow me to do three things without having to do too much to the 3ph. The original idea was to make something that will allow...

I started looking for a set of chains for my 7510 rear tires (TURF TIRES). I have been looking for an excuse to get chains and now it came up. I will do some logging pretty soon and want chains on for that, because of some soft spots on the logging road. I want to get the work done before...

I'm about to buy a small gas-powered water pump to use for watering my garden. I would need to pump about 120 gallons of water every 3-5 days about 12ft up 150ft distance. The source is an old dug well on my property, so there would be no issues with solid content in the water. I found one...

I have the opportunity to buy a good amount of 1.5"x3"x1/8" tubing at scrap steel price. I long have been hoping to get or build a larger trailer then my current 4x8 light duty trailer. I was thinking about building a 6x12 trailer out of the above mentioned steel. I want to make it with a...

I have a lot of downed cedar that are very small and I would hate to burn it. I have chipped some up last weekend with my new toy. Would it be OK to use the chips on the paths in my vegetable garden. It would greatly cut down on the weeding. I know I'm not supposed to put cedar close to...

I bought a wood chipper last week and the below story is a copy of a post I wrote up in the Attachments forum. The item in the description is a Goossen Chipper/Shredder that does not have a blower. The warning served me good especially after running the chipper and experiencing what a mean...

I'm looking at buying a used Goossen Industries chipper shredder and was wondering if you could give me pointers as for what I should check. I would buy it from an individual who said that he also got it used about 5 years ago and it is about a 12-15 year old unit. They used it a good deal but...

I recently noticed that the bucket on my 7510 is not level when sitting on the garage floor. The right side is slightly (1-1.5") higher. Also as I raise the loader to the top position when the left side stops the right side has to travel another inch or two. I called the dealer and he said I...

Today as I was moving the snowbanks farther out to make room for more snow I did what I thought my tractor could not do. I lowered the front edge of the FEL close to the ground as I pushed the snow farther and to my horror and astonishment I ended up with a bunch of dirt and grass in the...

I'm about to go and get a block heater for my B-7510 and I found conflicting info on the installation here. One post states that a threaded plug comes out and the heater just threads into the block and all I need is teflon tape to seal the threads. Another poster mentions something about...

I would like to ask those of you who have experience with the hydro transmissions. I have a B7510 and it makes a strange noise as if some bearing had some problem in there. It happens when there is no load on the engine such as when the tractor got up to speed after pushing down on the pedal...

I did a search on YouTube to see what comes up under Kubota. This short movie is a kid's video class project about his dad getting a tractor. I found it funny. YouTube - Wish Upon a Kubota

I cleared some trails on my 10 acre property over the years (before I became a tractor owner) and now it seams that some of the side slopes are a bit steep for the tractor. I would like to make it a little smoother so I can use them without fear of rollover. What would be a good attachment to...

The tractor is a B7510 HST. I posted a question about this a while ago. Several of you guys suggested I should change the hydro fluid. I changed the fluid and filters and cleaned the strainer. Refilled with SUDT. Unfortunately the problem remains about the same. When I operate the tractor...

I recently noticed that the transmission or something else makes a noise when the pedal is about halway down at 1500 RPM. It sounds to me like a ball bearing noise that goes away when either the RPM or the pedal position change. I wonder if anyone else had experienced such thing on their...

Hello all, I posted here and read as much as I could find about the B7510 and similar size Kubota tractors and I want to thank all of you for the responses. When I finally made it back to the dealer I felt I had no questions left about the tractor itself, because they were all answered by you...

Hi all, I have been looking for a cheaper welder for a while and I happened upon a Schumacher 120V / 90amp wire feed welder for about half the retail price. It does not have gas with it so I would have to use flux core wire, but I don't plan on doing this for a living. It said that the wire...

Hi all I have been talking with my local dealer about a B7510 HSD with 75 hours. The tractor has been sitting on the lot for at least 6-8 months and I don't think it ran much if at all. I'm getting close to making a final offer and was wondering if the 100 hour service should be done before I...

Hello all, I poasted the same question in the general forum before I realized there is a special Kubota place to ask. I'm very much new to the forum (as you can tell) and would welcome your help. I have been looking at a B7510 HSD at a dealership. The unit was made in '04 and would come with a...

Hello all, I'm very much new to the forum and would welcome your help. I have been looking at a B7510 HSD at a dealership. The unit was made in '04 and would come with a 60" mower RCK60-24B. It has 75hrs, turf tires (4 ply I know it is not the best) and in general it seems to be in very good...
