    What just happened? B21 hydrostatic problem

    OK, all testing before was done in 4-wheel drive because I leave it there all the time and never thought to take it out. I lifted all wheels off the ground and the rear spin fine by hand, the left foot locker pedal works fine, the front spins freely too but when the 4-wheel drive system is...

    What just happened? B21 hydrostatic problem

    Well now it's making a popping and gear crunching noise every few feet that bogs down the pump while its crunching!!! Doesn't matter what gear your in. Does it in Forward and Reverse.

    Care to elaborate on that? Is it better to remove the whole pump and do it on the bench?

    B21 fuel injection pump leaking, see pic, how to fix?

    Thanks all, I have line wrenches I can use on them, if that doesn't fix it can I remove the barrel flange and replace the o-rings without removing the pump?

    B21 fuel injection pump leaking, see pic, how to fix?

    It's started leaking a LOT more now, I didn't have any powder so I tossed some baking soda on it and saw this. I checked the fittings with a wrench and they are tight.

    B21 fuel injection pump leaking, see pic, how to fix?

    I've cleaned and watched it start leaking twice, and I see no fuel above the injector body. So I just assume it's leaking at the shim gasket area. Guess I need to check how tight the screws are first.

    B21 fuel injection pump leaking, see pic, how to fix?

    It's leaking fuel, about 1 drop every 5-10 sec. I'm still using the tractor, I just want to know how to fix it when I get time. So the shims serve as gaskets too?

    How do I replace this valve?

    Kubota B21 with BT751 backhoe, a pressure relief valve has rusted to where it's leaking badly on my main control valve, it looks like it may just unscrew and come out, or do I have to disassemble it further to replace it??? And it's strange that one valve rusted badly and the others just have...

    Can a bad ignition switch cause glow plugs not to come ON?

    For awhile now on my B21 I would sometimes have to cycle the ignition switch ON/Off and back to the glow plug position several times to get the glow plug light to come ON, now it won't come ON at all leading to long starting times, do you think the key switch has gone bad???

    I thought I fixed it... B21 won't start.

    OK, last weekend I went to start my B21, I just got a click, I charge the 10 year old battery to 100%, I still get just a click, I try jumping it and just a click, so I clean the terminals, click, I go get the battery checked and they load test it and it's toast, so I buy a new one, take it home...

    Can I cut light brush with a Zero Turn?

    Well I guess I didn't describe the area good enough, it's not a complete carpet of 1/4" brush, it just has a few of those scattered around but more than I want to pull up by hand. The rest of the area is just tiny brush and oak saplings. And I need to pick up the sticks too.

    My B21 doesn't like ULSD fuel

    I bought my B21 in 2007 and just used regular low sulfur Diesel available at the gas station, but lately it seemed to be down on power and it didn't push and scoop dirt as well as it did years ago, so I was reading about the new ULSD fuel and how some older diesels don't like it much and read...

    Removing front axle wheel flange on B21?

    What's involved? My front wheel almost fell off due to improper screw in studs installed by the previous owner, now the holes are completely stripped and I don't want to heli-coil them or go to the next size so I wanted to just drill the flange for press in studs but as can be seen from the...

    Is this pin broken?

    Just got through digging and washed off my new to me B21 and noticed a pin on the hoe looks like it moved out about a half inch. I've noticed it move out before when I greased it and I just tapped it back in, now I'm thinking it may be broken, if it is broken is this a common failure? Arrow...

    Rated RPM vs. Max RPM

    Newbie question, I was looking up the specs on my B21 I bought used and the Kubota website rates it's HP at 2600 RPM, however according to my tach the engine operates at 2800 RPM when I push the throttle lever full forward, is this normal? And that extra 200 RPM sure makes a lot of difference...

    I'm looking to buy a small used backhoe/loader, a local Kubota dealer has a used B21 model with 1950 hr's on it, I don't know the age but looks like a early model, it runs and drives good, the backhoe is pretty tight, but the paint is pretty faded, it's a little rusty in spots, some of the hyd...
