b7510 50 hour service questions

[DVR]

Thanks for the additional info guys.

Dan, I will keep an eye on the wheel bolts.
7610 was what i was planning to buy new. I found this tractor (2005 b7510hst) with 37 hours, r4's, foldable rops, la302 loader and bush hog squeeler cutter for $11k. it was actually in better shape than the new ones at the local dealer. by better shape i mean brighter paint, no rim fading, fresher looking plastic and such. plus i got kubota replacement filters for everything on the tractor.
i make the same notes for service. sounds like you have the same "problem" i do.

You sure got a great price on that B7510! Had it not been for the stronger LA352 FEL that I knew I'd need on occassion - I probably would have bought a then left-over B7500 (basically the same as a B7510) back in 2004.

I don't think it comes as part of the Work SHop Manual - but a full parts listing is also a great thing to have. As far as I know - if you contact TractorSmart - and click on the link "Manuals" - you can request a copy of the parts manual for your B7510 - and any Kubota implements. They'll then send you a link where you can download the file (Adobe PDF).

I also bought my telescoping 3PH stabilizer arm parts from TractorSmart. I believe the B7510 has the same 3PH setup as a B7610 (same lift capacity as per the spec. sheet) - fellow TBNer GregJ posted in that thread that he did this mod on his B7500 - so I can wholeheartedly recommend this modification if you plan on changing your 3PH implements often.

Happy tractoring! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I felt like the price was right too. I had been planning this purchase for 2 yrs. Operated countless tractors to find the perfect balance of size and power for my needs. B 7510/7610/7800 ended up the only contenders.
The LA302 front loader has worked well for me so far. A little more up force when picking up a full bucket (from a large pile) would be nice.
I will check out the link you posted. Thanks for that helpful info. I was about to buy something similar on ebay.

Believe it or not I got the tractor on ebay. It took some work but it was worth it. I made sure it was not stolen, made sure I could see it in person before paying a dime, found out the balance due kubota finance, got a certified check to kubota finance and paid the seller the balance in cash. Drove from SC to Orlando Fl and back non-stop.

I plan to change attachments often so I will check out the link to the arm too.
Thanks again for the help and info.

Need to check the air filters (there're two of them nested together in one housing) also. And don't forget to clean the removable screen in front of the radiator and the radiator itself.

The HST has a metal mesh filter screen that needs to be inspected and cleaned. You'll need a big cresant wrench or a 27mm socket (IIRC) to remove that filter screen.

I have a 2005 B7510HST and it was a bear to get that darn thing removed. Someone in the factory must have used an air wrench on it. If it weren't for that my 50-hour maintenance would have been a breeze.
