B7100 Spinner knob

[KubotainNH]

I mounted two spinner knobs on my tractor for this same reason. One of them will be in a comfortable position at any given time.

I have that same knob on my B6100 but like 6mmbr mine keeps slipping. I don;t have any thermoplastic to bend around the spoke but I'm sure I can find something to do the job. Thanks for the idea. BTW, one of the best pluses of adding power steering is no more out of control steering wheel spin.

Ditto on that. I drove a gravel truck that had a spinner on it, I was young and didn't know any better. Drove over some rough ground on a job site and that thing came around and just about broke my knuckles.

I did the same thing, but the truck didn't have power steering. I can't see any damage being done with a spinner on a power steering equipped Kubota.

There is a reason those were known as suicide knobs for cars in the days before power steering became popular. Anyone who has one will get rid of it after the first broken finger or thumb, unless, of course, it actually lives up to its name, in which case his heirs will get rid of it.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

First day driving a Mack for a lumber company one of the veterans comes over, looks at the truck, then at me, then says "keep yer thumbs out", then walks away. When i got to the construction site, the only vehicles that had been up the "road" were the excavators and the cement mixer. It took me about 3 minutes before I understood what he meant.

Have a nice TSC spinner on my 'bota. It's not quite K orange, but it's getting enough grease and sweat on it that you really can't tell anymore. Makes getting around close quarters a lot easier.

I've had a spinner on my B7100DT since 1979 and I've never had a problem with it. I mounted it at 6 o'clock.

Now, I would have to be nuts to put one on our 9n though.

I have one on my boat and it is a pre-mounted in the wheel. Since the boat doesn't have the wheel change position without input, even when in a turn, I love it. Not so sure it would be as welcomed on the tractor. I never know where the spokes will end up on that.

That will come in handy if I put the FEL back on mine. I don't have one on my New Holland or Ford but have had many days of work that it would have been nice to have had one.
