kubota b7100

What's the best loader to put on a 1997 3 cylinder diesel B7100 Kubota...is there one that comes with it's own hydraulic pump? Folks tell me to go with the Kubota loaders..which one is the best?...keeping in mind no power steering...Anyone have experience using a Koyker Model 120...are they good...

After several hrs surfing, I'm no further ahead in picking the best loader for a Kubota B7100 HST (1997). ...Du-al, Woods, Koyker ?....Decided to ask you folks @ TractorByNet...what's the best front end loader on the market? Do I need to also order the optional equip..two spool dinoil valve...

So I was cleaning out the wood shed over the weekend and notice that the old Seat for the Kubota B7100 (I sold it almost 2 years ago and now have a B3200) was up in the rafters. What would you folks suggest? List is on Craig's List for some amount? OR list it for FREE? OR take it to the...

Where is my engine serial number? I have a B7100 HST. Others have suggested that it is stamped on to the block behind the fuel injection pump. My fuel injection pump appears to drop into the block casting, not bolt on to the side of the block. I need a new crankshaft, rod, etc. but I can't...

i am looking for parts diagrams and cannot find them online :confused: does anyone know where i can get these? Or even have them?!? ;) Pretty new to tractors in general and will probably need alot of help! im in the uk, but sites all seem usa based with websites like messicks!

For those that hadn't followed my previous thread, here are some before pics. Here are the completed after pics. Brian

I did a Hydraulic oil change, and for the first time i tried to clean the screens. I was able to remove the pump side but I was unable to remove the HST side. I tried some penetrating oil and tapped on it with a hammer, but no luck. I am very concerned about shearing off this bolt. Any...

Our B7100 has had both rear wheels fall off about 4 times over the past 2-3 years. The factory part that holds the wheel on the axle is a brass(?) pin with a small spring clip on the end. I reverted to this recently and it lasted about 2 months. Previously I have been going with long bolts and...

So, on my "new to me" B7100HST-E (circa 1982) there is a cool little compartment that says "Tool Kit" on it. Of course, it was empty when I got it. I've had a couple of motorcycles that had pretty nice compact factory tool kits under the seat, and obviously some thought went into what was...

and whoops........ So I went and got big brother to help out

My b7100 started leaking oil Near front right tire (inside). It's a 4x4 and the newer style b7100. I don't have an owners manual yet ( I need one), could someone tell me the proper weight of the oil it takes? It's leaking below the axle on the hub (?) where 2 pieces join together. I'm assuming...

Hi, I am the new owner of a Kubota B7100 HST-E, two wheel drive hydrostatic, with a 60 inch MMM. Tractor is about a 1982, has 1180 showing on the clock but clock seems to not work. Was mowing last night, only the second time I've used it, a field that has not been mowed this summer. Really...

Took the wheels and tires down Saturday and had new tires installed at Les Schwab $550 later. And today I made all new hydraulic hoses for the loader. This tractor had sat for about 4 years without being started. It fired up first hit of the key, but when I went to lift the loader fluid...

Hello all, I have B7100 4WD (4100 hours) with a pto problem. I was cutting grass with a belly mower and the mower and tractor stopped dead. The pto would only turn 1 revolution then stop. Took the tractor into the dealer and they took off the mid pto and there was loose bearings in there. Not...

Hi I was mowing last night and the mower stopped with a bang. I disconnected the mower and tried to turn the mid pto as it is a belly mount and it turns about 1 revolution then grinds. The rear PTO does the same. Any ideas to the problem? Is it expensive to fix? Are parts even available? Should...

We need a finish mower for our old faithful B7100 for mowing weeds at the back of our horse field. No idea where to start or what to look for. Any help or advice greaty appreciated thanks!

Anybody out there ever rebuild/re-new a hst for a b7100?? Mine loses power when the ambient temp goes up.. Been changing fluid & filters cleaning screens on a regular basis.. Thanks for any imput.... D

Hi. I'm a new owner of an old tractor. I've never owned a tractor before but a couple of weeks ago I bought a Kubota B7100D. This weekend I'm going to install the ROPS I just got from the local Kubota dealer. The instructions make it look pretty easy, but I thought I'd ask the TBN community...

Hello everyone. My name is Rick. I bought a 1990 B7100 Kubota a couple of months ago . I am looking forward to getting good info on my tractor from fellow Kubota owners.

I recently bought an older B7100 with a Kubota backhoe. The backhoe is model #629. It has a full 15" bucket and it is too much bucket for that little hoe. Anybody out there have any suggestions where to find a narrower bucket that would work on my hoe? 8" or 10" would be great, but even a...

I just changed my fan belt. Old one looked tired. Outside pulley has an odd sort of 'adjuster'. It seems positioned in place; however a bolt runs through it ---apparently to adjust tension. Right now the new belt seems tight and I need to understand this thing before I run the tractor...

Just like the title says. I need one and I just can't find one! Thanks..PoorDaddy

U-joints next to block was toast, it fell out! But putting them back is a good puzzle. I'm really not in a mood to install U-Joints up inside the belly of the tractor. I'd rather do it the easy way (??) anybody know the correct way to install the front drive shaft with the front U-joint...

I'm being given this tractor by a customer of mine. It has sat for a few years so it needs stuff replaced that you would expect. Tires, hoses, seat, battery, etc. It also needs bevel case seals and a good washing and servicing. It looks like I'm going to have about $1600 in parts, my cost...

My B7100 has overheated a couple times -- radiator clogged with dirt and grass. Anyway it now puts out white smoke in the exhaust and runs poorly. BUT if I take off or loosen the radiator cap the smoke goes away and it runs OK. Is this a head gasket or something worse? Thanks

Can someone provide an approximate price on a Kubota B7100 4 wheel drive tractor and accessories, to be sold as a unit? The tractor has 750 hours on it, it is a diesel. No ROPS, thought to be a mid 80's tractor. Unsure if grey market or not. The unit was with a business so the paint is...

I am looking for a B2030 blade for my B7100 HST. I have the subframe, mounts, and hydraulics. I bought this unseen as a set, but when I got it, the blade is some made-to- fit piece that belongs on a small dozer. 6ft wide and several hundred lbs. The 7100 would never run this thing. I believe...

I have a pretty well used Kubota b7100, that I'm looking to do a couple small things to in order to give it back some good looks. The material lining the headlights and grille in one area is a little dented and deformed, and I'd like to get it back into shape. I haven't looked too closely, and...

Recently I've purchased a well used Kubota b7100hst made in 1983, and among other things that could use a little work, I have some questions about the hydrostatic transmission. Please forgive my pathetic knowledge of the tractor, its the first good sized tractor I have owned. Now, when starting...

I PURCHASED THIS TRACTOR USED. IT WAS IN 4X4 AND IT WORKS. TRIED TO GO TO 4X2 BUT LEVER WOULD NOT COME OUT. SPRAY WITH WD40 AND TRIED WIGGING BACK AND FORTH BUT LEVER DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. TRIED WITH TRACTOR RUNNING, STOPPED, ON, OFF AND ON THE RUN. ANY IDEAS? DID NOT WANT TO PUT A WRENCH ON IT...

I have a 1970s B7100 4WD with the OEM snow thrower. The oil feed hose between the oil distribution block and the control valve blew and I've had it made twice, both times they used the wrong fittings. Does anyone know where to buy the OEM hose or know the correct hose and fitting sizes? Thank you.

I have a older b7100 4x4 that is gear drive and I was out moving snow yesterday for acouple hours. I was in high side using 4th and reverese in high side. I want to back up one time and it made a weird noise from the front end. I clutched it real quick and just went forward instead. I made...

i have a 1983 b7100. the loader and 3PT linkage seem to work ok but i have just bought a log splitter and it is strugling to split any wood. Is there a presure adjustment at all? Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

If you are looking for some parts for B7100D 4x4. Check this Craig's List ad -- Kubota B7100 4x4 Parts Tractor The manual transmission went out on me and I decided it was time to upgrade. This guy bought the tractor from me with the intent of fixing it up (he is a diesel mechanic) but it...

Does anyone know off hand what the thread size is for the auxiliary hydraulic supply is under the seat on an older style B7100 HST-D? I am at work and cant check for myself. Thanks.

I had originally wanted to get the old steering shaft rebuilt, and had taken it to a reputable machine shop. The guy was not able to do it right away due to the holidays. Yesterday, I found a new shaft at a different Kubota , on the coast. This fits other Kubotas, as well Part # 67211-41120...

Kubota B7100 1100 hours. Hi Guys have had this tractor for 20 years now. Bought it used at 300 hours, and it has been well maintained,and serviced all its life. Pushing snow the other day the steering became stiff, and a cracking sound came out of the steering box. I had just changed the oil...

Last year I had to snowblow by moonlight twice. Today I finally installed the work light I bought. To make room in my limited electrical power supply I replaced my headlight bulbs with LED 1156 equivalent. The lighting is adequate forward. I unplugged the rear light and plugged it into the...

i built a front end loader from scratch and i am on the final steps of just getting the parts to power it I need to know who makes aftermarket pumps for it or the psi and gpm. and i also would like to know where to get the shaft that drives the pump or what it looks like so i can make one...

Looking for the serial number location on my 1980's B7100D. Can someone tell me where to locate the serial number? Thanks

Anyone have an idea where I can purchase an inline engine heater for my B7100hst? I was hoping to mount one in the lower radiator hose. I found a link from searching the archives, but it seems the site\company is out of business. For those who do not know - Kubota does not offer a block...

The bad news is that I have an oil leak that I"m trying to pinpoint. I guess the real question is could it be anything other than the head gasket? Tractor runs fine and there is no water in the oil; however there is oil leaking from somewhere near the oil filter at around the level of where the...

Hi, new user here. I just bought a 1980 Kubota B7100DT, with loader and shredder attachments, 1100 hours. The loader bucket stays in position when raised to any point, with tractor running, the 3 point hitch leaks off and the shredder goes to the ground. I don't believe this is supposed to...

Hey All, Just a heads up. - And a plea for help/direction if anybody can assist. Steering has been out on my machine for several months. After several gyrations, my local dealer called earlier today to advise that the parts, steering shaft and nut assembly, formerly $125 - last week quoted at...

I have a B7100HST, the E series. The neutral holder spring on this model is held by a threaded, adjustable shaft at the top end. The old top end bracket still exists from the prior model. When my spring broke, I attached the new one to the adjustable shaft, adjusted neutral centering tension...

Picked up a B7100 today. Tractor is in excellent condition. One of the nicest used tractors I've ever seen, if not THE nicest. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. I have a Kubota Shop Manual for this tractor, and while it shows detailed parts breakdowns of everything, I need to know some...

Hi, Just bought it 2 months ago...1100 hours. Steering went out last weekend. Pulled the upper steering box and shaft. Upper roller bearing on steering shaft disintegrated. Bearings in the lower box and worm gear. Some visible wear on steering shaft worm gear but the knuckle & down line...

Hello, I have a B7100 Diesel Kubota i have taken this little tractor to a couple mechanics because it has trouble starting. They are able to start it for me and give it back working great. After a couple time that i started it in the morning to cut the grass it just wont start (not even with...

HI, I recently purchased a Kubota B7100 HST. I think it is a 1996 model. This tractor came with a non-foldable ROPS. I have an orchard that I need to mow and there are lots of tree with a clearance lower than the ROPS. Hence, I would like to remove the ROPS. The ROPS is attached to the tractor...

Hi all, Hopefully the ever-useful community can help out an owner in distress once more :) I have a few questions, so please bear with me! 1) Engine oil - I have the bizarre situation, whereby the volume of oil in the engine increases!!! I can only assume that diesel is getting into it...

Hello, New land owner and just bought my first tractor. Did a lot of reading on this site and ended up purchasing a '94 Kubota B7100 HST with 500 hours. The tractor shows little use and appears to be in excellent mechanical condition, however I discovered an issue that I need assistance to...

I am restoring a '78 B7100D with a B219 FEL. The FEL was repainted at some point and I need to know the correct original paint scheme on the late 70's B219. I have seen photos that indicate that it was Kubota Bright Orange with all 4 cylinders and the bucket painted in Kubota Blue. Can anyone...

Hello - new to the site.... I have an issue where the tractor wants to keep moving only when there is a force working against it. For example when pushing mulch backwards with my blade. The tractor will work fine when pushing a small amount. The issue starts when I reach the point where...

I recently had to take a rear tire off my 1976 B7100.. The rear wheels were only held on by the pin that positions the tire on the axle in the correct location for spacing.. I need to know what size the Hex Bolt is that puts the tension against the axle.. I dont like my rear wheels being loose...

I would like to find out which engines will interchange with my 7100. Will a 21 horse fit?

Still working on a restoration/reconditioning on my '78 B7100DT. It looks like it has been completely repainted at some point. The orange on it is a red/orange and where it is chipped off, the color underneath more of a yellow/orange. Also, the top blue is different than the blue underneath...

In all my Kubota manuals, I can't seem to find anything about the proper lubricant to put in the steering box. Is it 80wt gear oil like most other things or ??? The previous owner neglected the steering box and it had 6"-8" of freeplay and the box was full of water and oil!:mad: I've adjusted...

I am a new owner of a B7100DT that I am restoring. I have the original factory Operators Manual and Parts List, but no shop manual. I see two offered on the web. They are "WSM" and "I&T". Can someone tell me which is best? Thanks! :confused:

I got a kubota b7100, I'd like to find some attachments, as in maybe a turning plow and a set of one row cultivators, does anyone know where I can find such things.

I'm contemplating upgrading from my B7100HST. My B7100HST is a late-model (I'm told by PO '98) with a Woods DuAl 145 quick-detach loader. I have brand-new turf tires and wheels on it, plus the original tall & narrow-style R1's. I love the B7100HST, but there are two things I feel it...

Are these Kubota specific? My 3 Point Hitch relief valve kicks in at a little below 1500 PSI, but is rated for 1700 PSI. With its anemic 400 LB lift rating, the 3PH on this tractor needs every last little bit, so I want to get it back to rated pressure. Need I go to the dealer on this, or...

TBN was an invaluable resource in this project. The control valve is currently attached to my ROPS with plywood ( easy prototyping material for me ). I'm going to make sure that I like it where I have it mounted, and then I'll get a permanent metal bracket made. I also need to tidy up the...

Hello Have bought a nearly new Kubota flail mower to use with my B7100HST tractor. It was fitted to B1700 when bought new but soon taken back to the dealer in exchange for a new larger tractor and larger flail. The 3 point mounting points on the flail are much wider than the lower arms on the...

I'm adding remotes to my B7100HST. There is a large bolt next to the HST filter, is that the plug for the tank return hole? Type size/type fitting fits this, to connect a return hose? Tanks, Jay

Are B7100 and B6100 FEL's or BH's interchangeable? Or other models that might fit the B7100 - B7200? Are there differences between manual and HST mounted as well? I don't need one enough to justify buying a brand new one. I seem to come across some from time to time on 6100's or manual...

Hi all, I did a search to see if I could find this out, but the only thread that came close kinda drifted away from fuel use into hour meter theory... Anyway, I'm wondering if any B7100 owners out there can give me an estimate as to how long I'll be able to run mine before worrying about...

Ok so this is my first tractor. Not wanting to bother anyone, I bought a user manual. But it is of no help because I have a manual transmission and it is for a HST. On the right hand side there are 3 levers. What in the world are they for? I can guess that one is HI-LO, one is 4WD, and one is...

Greetings all, I have a B7100, the serial number indicates it's a 1979. I found a set of AG tires that I'd like to mount on the tractor, but they are from a later model B7100 that uses a six-lug pattern on the front rim instead of the four-lug that I have. Does anyone know if the two patterns...

So I have had this unit for 13 years and it was old when I got it. Over the years it has lost the ability to lift the bucket when it is fully loaded without increasing the RPM and waiting a long time. I thought that it may have been the pump mounted on the PTO on the front. I found that they...

HI ALL, Just wondering if you can put the front blade from a B6100E onto a B7100HSD. The model number on the blade is KUFD110??? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, DDL

Greetings all, I just picked up an older model Kubota B7100 (1979 I beleive) and it's a really nice machine. Very well cared for and the paint still shines! My question is this; it does not have the roll bar on the back and I've seen some 7100s that do and some that don't. Was the bar...

I need a steering shaft assy or complete steering assy. Any ideas where I can find it?

The transmission case is broken on my b7100 and was looking for a replacement when I found Kubota B6200 HST Tractor Transaxle Assembly - eBay (item 200284418046 end time Feb-02-09 19:23:36 PST) I don't mind that it's hydro I just need to be assured that it will fit. Any ideas??? Jon

Any comments on using the following on my B7100HST? Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices It is rated for a max pressure of 2500PSI. The B7100HST relief valve is set for 1500PSI. Will i still be able to split logs? I'd like to avoid having yet another small engine...

Hello Everyone. I recently purchased a tractor. I think it's a B6200D but on the left of the tranny it says B7100 on a aluminium sticker as you can see in the picture it is to worn to read a model number. the other thing that confusses me is on the left side of the frame near the front that has...

Hi, I am new to tractorbynet. I have a b7100hsd/hst that has been sitting in storage unused since 2004. It has 480HRS on it. The tractor came with a property we bought back in 2004 but we never did anything with it. I am now about to do some maintenance on the tractor before I tried to get...

Hi guys, I've managed to track down a FEL for my B7100, but am having trouble identifying it as it doesn't appear to be the 'usual' old B219 or newer B1630? Any ideas from the following pics? Thanks!

I am in need of some steering parts for a 1979 Kubota B7100. I have checked new prices and can't afford those to be completely honest. I was curious if anyone out there has, or knows where, to get good used parts? I am in need of a complete nut ball or a complete steering assembly. Thanks for...

Hello, we have a 1994 Kubota B7100HST-D with loader. Yesterday, it decided to stop moving while driving across our property with no load. The engine starts and runs fine, but pressing on the HST pedal (either forward or reverse) it does not move. We checked all the levers and made sure it...

Hi everyone, first post here, read about every one posted about the b7100. Neighbor has a 1994 b7100 with 180 hrs on it with a few implements, tractor is like new, but has no loader. Kubota doesnt make one anymore and have been looking at Koyker. Talking to the closest Koyker dealer he told me...

I've noticed quite a bit of blow by coming from the engine breather tube and after read up on it a bit, this seems to be a common indication of engine wear? It has been there since I bought the machine last year. The blow by has not worsened. I haven't noticed any lack in power and the tractor...

I have a model B7100 manual transmission. The steering wheel will rotate 1.5 turns. The slack adjuster has been adjusted. What needs to be done to repair this problem?

I recently bought what was represented to me as a B2150HST. However, on the transmission is a tag designating it as a B7100HST-D, 4 cycle, 3 cylinder. The engine is a 4 cylinder. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks, Terry

Does anyone make a Top-N-Tilt kit for the B7100HST, or do I need to go custom? Anyone got one for sale?

Does anyone know if the muffler tip comes as chrome or black finish? p/n 66711-54410 001 in the drawing... I was wire brushing my rusty muffler tip last night prior to painting it with hi temp black and noticed there seemed to be tiny chrome flakes behind the clamp bracket. I wonder if it...

I have a '98 B7100HST with a Woods DuAl 145 FEL. It acts as if the relief valve is releasing at too low a pressure. I can lift a full bucket of stone or dirt, but the breakaway force is lacking. When I push into a pile, and then lift, it just wines, and I need to back up a little to...

I found the part I need. It is called a screen radiator part number 66204-51450. It is for the Kubota B7100. Does anyone know about this part or have one used they are no longer using. I was hoping to find a website for old tractors were they were selling parts off the tractors. I believe a new...

I'm considering purchasing a B7100 HST (as an upgrade to my 1980 gear-drive B7100). It is advertised as a 1998 model, and has about 450 hours on it. I didn't think they made the B7100 that recently? Does anyone know? It has a woods DuAl 145 FEL, a 60" MMM (mid mount mower), and a 48"...

New if you were living in the early 80's ;) . I'm really happy with it, and its a blast to drive. I'm still learning all the levers and controls, but that should come pretty fast. We got it for clearing our trails, bringing firewood around, moving dirt, and all that good stuff. The Bush hog...

Pretty much since I have owned it I have known some old welds on my loader were cracking. Never seemed like there was a good time to repair but now it is getting bad enough I want to fix it before it fails. Notice in this pic that the loader sags on one side, this is the side of the cracking. I...

Hi, I'm posting the following for a friend who has been waiting for the activation email for about 12 hours now, but still has not received it yet :\ Hopefully some of you can help him out. Im going to look at a late 70's early 80's Kubota b7100, and the only problem the owner noted was the 3pt...

I have a 1980 B7100 w/ gear drive, and am considering purchasing B7200 with Hydrostatic Drive. Both units have front-end loaders. Have caveats should I be aware of with the hydrostatic drive? What differences are there between the B7200 and B7100 other than the different engine, and being...

Howdy folks. I picked up a B7100 and look forward to getting to know this forum and the tractor. I have a few questions and hope this isn't "Overload" for you guys! I'm new to tractors and diesels but have tons of auto experience so hopefully i can catch on. Any tips on where to start...

While working on my rear lift arms, I noticed a couple of strange behaviors and need to know if these are part of normal operation or if my tractor is hosed. When the lift arms are disconnected from the bucket, and not at full top or full bottom position, the arms can be moved up and down...

I work at the local Kubota dealer, while I would love a new BX24 or a BX15, I dont have the spare 5K+ laying around to get one. However, we had a decent, but rattly looking B7100, 2wd HST with a 72" MMM on it. The deck runs real quiet. Tractor runs well with minimal blow by out the breather...

I have a strange thing happening with my B7100HST. I have had it for a couple months, and I am relativily sure this was not how it worked when I first got it. When you push down the pedal to go forward it reaches a point where it is stiff, and so somewhat easy to maintain this position. But...

Hello, I recently thought I got a great deal on ebay. I bought a project instead... So...I'm in the process of rebuilding the manual transmission, rear axles and rear differential on this B7100D. After closely studying the parts and service manual while dis-assembling the tractor, most of...

I need to replace a turnbuckle on the 3ph on my B7100HSD. Does anyone have a part # or know where I might find one? I think it has metric threads.

Hello All, i have just brought a Kubota B7100D, which has as front and rear loader fitted, the front loader has a manufactures plate on it that reads :- Brantley Mfg.Co. P.O.Box 187. Frederick. Oklahoma. 73542. Series SL500 Serial No SL00180 The rear loader, has no plate visible on it, but...

Problem: I bought an old ('84 I think but no serial number found to confirm and 2200 hrs) B7100 this past winter and used it to clear snow. The front axle left is leaking past the rubber ring and felt washer. This model has the globe type hub known for leaking. It's normlly a slow leak went...

Hi, I'm looking for a part number for a hood decal for my B7100. I have the part numbers for just about everything else but the model label eludes me. I'm looking for the label containing B7100 found on the front of the hood on either side. I have a few part lists but they all reference the...

The seat on my old b7100 badly needed replacing, it had no cushion/cover, was badly cracked and the mounting was worn so it was really sloppy. My back would be aching after a few hours of seat time. I also have a backhoe for my tractor and the 'seat adapter' interfered with the lift arms so I...

is it possible to run a hydraulic valve on a kubota b7100 from the hydrualic port under the seat?

My b7100 popped a bit of steam and radiator fluid out the overflow today plowing snow. Found I was about 1/2 gallon low. Engine seems fine so I don't think I overheated it bad. I made up the fluid and the engine runs fine. Inspection of the cap shows it probably needs to be replaced, the rubber...

Just wondering what size of loader I can put on a B7100 tractor? I'm looking for a loader and may have found a Kubota LA480. I know the mounting brackets will not fit, but should be able to fabricate something there. Just wondering if this loader may be too big for the tractor? How can I tell?

I bought my B7100DT 30 years ago and have used it non-stop for snowblowing, mowing, rototilling, wood hauling, and a lot more. The power and versatility of this little workhorse still amazes me.I have had very few problems with this tractor and actually my current problem is not with the tractor...

I have an interest in maybe buying a B7100 HST. The only thing I have found out so far is the owner says the only problem she has had has been the tractor not moving when it gets hot. If it were just a clogged screen, looks like the tractor would have this problem whether it was hot or cold...

I have a FEL on my B7100 and it runs off a pump that comes off the front of the crankshaft. It seems to be weak, I was wondering why the FEL is run off this pump and not the tractors pump? The pump isn't being used for anything and thought about using it to run the FEL. amitysanimal

Anyone know where I can get a replacement steering wheel for my 1977 B7100? I haven't checked Kubota but I'm sure they are expensive. I was wondering if anyone knows of another wheel that will fit. amitysanimal

Currently have a Kubota B7100 with about 1700 hours. The mower deck has developed stress cracks that I have repaired with welds but really need to replace the whole mower or at least a new shell. My dilema is spending about $2500.00 for a new mower vs about $1500.00 for a new shell or just...

I've had a later model B7100HST for about 6 months. Been very happy with its operation and ease of servicing. I have a question about starting. It sometimes (after warming the glow plug) does nothing when I turn the ignition the first time or two, sort of clicks, then starts right up. Is...

Just found this forum and thought I'd upload a picture of my "new" b7100hst. Keeping the old woman off of it is a problem. This is my first tractor and I'm loving using/maintaining it. Got it in May to bush hog pasture, drag/harrow a riding arena and pull a manure spreader. Been putting...

My son has a small dirtbike track out back, I have been using my tiller to 'groom' it a bit (loosen the hardpack) but am thinking of saving some wear and tear on my tiller. The rippers on a boxblade look like they would do a pretty good job. A guy is selling a KK bb60 for $300 (says he paid $500...

I have been searching the post for the answer to a few questions, I even purchased owners manuals for my equipment and still no clear answers so I could use the groups help. First off my engine oil showed over full when I took deliver of my tractor so I changed it and added 4 qt oil as directed...

Thought I'd share a few pictures of my pride and joy, I can't remember being so excited over a new toy (I mean tool....Dear) since I got my first bike.. Hope I did well..

Greetings; As mentioned by a couple of posters, it seems apparent that my B7100 does not have the standard thermosiphon engine . I Googled "Kubota water pump" and sure enough there is a line drawing of the same pump that is on my beast. I will be going up to my lot this weekend to confirm the...

Can someone lend info on the proper way to tighten the new style rear hub for the B7100 ? Do you just tighten the wedge looking bolt and is there a proper torque value ? Thanks In Advance..

I am in need of a loader tractor to handle round and square bales up to 1200 LBS. There is a B7100HST tractor for sale locally with FEL. The current owner does not seem to know much about the capabilities of this tractor. Does the tractor have what it takes to move and stack that much weight...

Greetings; I am new owner of an older B7100. I haven't really had much time to play with it as yet but I did notice one curious thing about the FEL. When you pull back on the lever to raise the FEL ,it often actually goes down a couple of inches before it goes up. As I said I have only used...

just bought a new to me b7100 and i am not too happy with the rear hubs. i was going to slide the hubs out for a wider stance, but the axle is a little worn and the wheels wobble pretty bad in that position. does anyone know of better rear hubs for this little Kubota? thanks for any help.

Can't get the 3PH to function. Lever moves front to back but arms are stuck in the up position and won't go down. Anyone got any tips on getting it to work?

anyone know how to change or tighten the front belt that runs the hydraulic pump for the fel?

When using a 3 pt 5' mower my tractor gets really light in the front, looking for a quick, easy and inexpensive method to put weight on front end. My 15 year old son is getting tired of sitting on the hood, lol. :D Thanks,

does anyone out there know how to access and tighten the front pto fan belt for the fel?

my fel is really sluggish and i think its cuz of the front pto belt being loose. i keep staring at it and i cant figure how to tighten it------------anyone know?

Hi, I have an older B7100 HST about 4000 hours used light duty for grass cutting and snowblowing. My rad was recently leaking so I had it repaired and put it all back together. It worked once after that but it moved really slow, not much forward or backward speed. Today when I fired it up, the...

I just purchased a 1990 B7100 HST, 4x4, with a Kubota loader and turf tires. Does anyone know what size tire chains I need for the rear tires? Also, can I expect this machine to have the same pulling power (trailer, skidding trees, etc.) as my 1983 STD 4x4 B7100 (which the wife must go now!)...

I just purchased a 1990 B7100 HST, 16 HP, with a Kubota loader, turf tires, rears filled, and ROPS from a local dealer. The tractor has 800 hours. The tractor is in nice shape and appears to have been well cared for. Used machines this size with a loader are hard to come by in my area (Rhode...

Hello all Can some one tell me if Kubota front blade B2765A will fit on my late model Kubota B7100HST. Or if I need some kind of adapter to make it works. I searched Kubota website but found no info of B7100 compatible attachments. Thank you in advance.

I thought I would share some pictures of the 3pt o-ring change out I did. Here is the background/detail: I bought this 1970's or so Kubota B7100 along with some attachments. I found that with heavy implements the 3 pt would go down almost as fast as it goes up :confused: this necessitated me...

I recently bought a 70's-80's B7100 with FEL, BH, rear blade and a snow blower. When using the FEL to stabilize the tractor for BH work it will not lift the front of the tractor off the ground. Should it be able to? This is even with the bucket in 'full dump' position. With over 3000 hours on...

Hi. New person here. I have a B7100 and from doing a search here it seems the B7100 is known for overheating due to needing to clean the radiator and screen. This is especially true with our current high temps and very tall grass I have right now here in Ohio. I also feel that I have a bad...

Have an old B7100d that has provided several years of great service. It has just developed a problem. After running for a few minutes the clutch does not seem to disengage fully, It makes a noise like the clutch is half engaged. It will continue to go if foward while the clutch is depressed...

What do I need to add hydraulics(remote) to this tractor for a front snowblower? The hydraulic pressure line has a block in it with four bolts on it. I assume this is where you tap in but do I need to buy an adapter block that is tapped for lines or what?

The tractor is pretty old, 3700 hours, probably early 80's. The FEL although painted orange has no visible identification. There are two operating levers on the right loader arm, the left one rases and lowers, the right one curls the bucket. There is a spin off cap just behind the levers. Is...

A while back I was looking for what was causing the oil level in my engine to get higher as I ran it after changing oil. It turned out to be I was over filling the crankcase, the factory sticker on the engine says to fill it with 4.1 quarts however I checked with kubota online it shows 3.6...

owning-ML-820498-ML- Posted in wrong forum. Kubota specific.

The engine oil seems to get higher on the dipstick the more I run the machine. Seems to me I read something about HST fluid leaking through a seal , adding fluid to the crank case. Has any one else had this same problem ? I keep close check on the HST fluid and the level does not appear to...

I am considering a 1981 Kubota B7100DT 4WD, serial # 51225, with a nice loader and rear blade. All componets work well, runs strong and it is in very good shape. What is it worth today?

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some input on this tractor that I'm looking at buying. If you take a look at the pic I've attached you will find a 4wd B7100 that is dropping a bit of oil on the belly mower right under the drive shaft, and to me the side of the motor looks a bit wet. Can you...

I am changing all the fluids in the old B7100 I bought. I can see how to drain the rear differential, both sides, but can't see how to refill. I did notice that when I drained the transmission and cleaned the filter I could not get the prescribed 12.2 qts of Kubota UCD into it. Makes me...

Am new Kubota B7100 owner. It's an old one with manual transmission, probably 1980s. Can someone tell me where the Serial Number is located on it? Also since it doesn't appear to be HST/GST (whatever those are) and is manual transmission, what weight gear oil is the right one? What...

Does anyone know the Front/Rear drive train ratio of a B7100HST-D. I do not have this information in any of my manuals (aftermarket). I just switched from turf tires to ag tires and I would like to see how closely matched the front and back tires are. Thanks, Phil

I have a old B7100 with about 2000 hours on it. I got it for a good price and it is in fair condition. I would like to have a FEL added but after looking around the cost to do so would be more than what I paid for the tractor. The tractor does not have power steering or a HST transmission...

I recently had a new clutch installed and I am having a vbration and a whine/humming noise from the rear or tranny,hard to tell which. Any ideas?

Hello all, i have been reading the forums for some time now doing research, and finally had a question on a tractor, so here i go. I am looking at 1990 B7100 HSD with factory FEL, backhoe, rear blade, mow deck and forklift. One owner with 643 hours, bought from our local dealer when new...

The clutch on my tractor is giving me a headache. the tractor has 700 hrs. which seems a tad early for clutch problems. I tried adjusting freeplay and could not improve the performance.I got an estimate to replace my cluttch,pressure plate,throwout bearing etc. for $ 535.00. is this a reasonable...

I have a 1995 B7100 with a Kubota 1630C FEL. I must have a leak somewhere in the hydraulics, because the bucket will slowly bleed to a "dump"position. Without any load in the bucket it takes about 10-15 minutes to go to a full dump position, but with the toothbar on or with any kind of load...

I'm looking for a used loader for a B7100 Gear. Lot's of new after market (Koyker, Leon, Bush Hog...) but everyone wants $2500-3500. I'm willing to do modifications if necessary.

I own a B7100D that is giving me problems. When i engage the clutch I get some chatter as it slips out of gear. While still holding clutch pedal down it slips back into gear. I have tried the adjustments suggested by Kubota. Is my clutch shot or is there some special adjustment?

Has anyone installed or know if power steering can be installed on the Kubota B7100?.. Thanks

Has anyone installed or know if power steering can be installed on the B7100?..

I searched and could not find a specific answer, and I have the IT manual and it tells me the volume, but I would rather just check it. I just bought my father a well used B7100 gear drive, 4wd tractor. I want to check the fluid levels in the front end (3pts) and I have pulled the fill plugs...

Hey folks: I'm considering a B7100HST....not sure what year. I was wondering if this guy is rugged enough to run a small backhoe without any significant issues. Any thoughts? I've seen one thread on the small backhoe used with a BX18 or BX22 or something like that. I'm thinking the B7100HST...

Hello, Looking for a Kubota with both FEL and a Backhoe. If I were to buy new, I believe the BX23 would do the job. Have a need to some trenching for Conduit and Drain Tile around the small farmstead I have which is pushing me in that direction. Recently found a 1999 B7100 HSD with a Woods...

I am going to look at a B7100 next week. It has a 60" MMM. It has a new head, rings, & bearings. Does anyone have any experience with this particular model? Is there anything in particular that I should look for? Would it be able to pull a brush hog? I have some fields that I like to keep...

Hi. My friend loaned me his tractor on a semi-permanent basis. It is an old model, a B7100HST. The tractor has a rear-mower deck attachment RCR48. A few months ago, the U-Joint on the PTO axle cracked, and I took it in for service to a Kubota dealer in Hemet. While in for service, they...

On my Kubota the rear axle hubs always work loose. The hub movement then breaks the safety bolt. Fortunetly the hub always seems to work inwards towards the tractor rather than falling off. Newer style replacements cost $160 each which is beyond my budget. Pictures of a fix using saw blade as...

My B7100HST has had an overheating problem from the time I bought it from new about a year ago. I can use it only about 20 minutes before I have to shut ot down. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the solution?

I just bought a Kubota B7100HSD and was told by the person I bought it from that I could use a 4ft. lift cutter on it and just attach it to the back three point hitch....when I went to attach it the arms would not swing out wide enough for me to attach the implement (Kingcutter 4ft brush...

I am looking at a Kubota B7100 HST with 5' belly mower. The tractor looks well maintained and has a little more than 1000 hrs. My only concern is the "roaring noise" it makes when the clutch is depressed. One guy said he thought that was normal for a hst. Can anyone verify this?

I have a B7100 HST with a mid-mount mower, both operable, but appearing their age. (I'd have to dig to find exact year, but figure 20 or so years old.) I am located in Arnold, MD. If anyone is interested for about 2K, please let me know.

Has anyone added a coolant recovery tank to a b7100? I have been considering adding a small one to see if I could get away from constantly refilling the radiator.... A small motorcycle coolant recovery tank would be easy to mount up near the radiator...any thoughts? Tim

My Kobota Dealer tells me there are no mid mount mowers available for my 1981 B7100 HST tractor . Can anyone confirm this or tell me where I might find a 60" mower.
