Kubota B7100 factory tool kit?

[allenr]

When I bought my B7100, it had a screwdriver and a combination 10/12 mm open end wrench in the box. The wrench works on the battery, the side panels, and a lot of the other bolts that hold it together. And the bolts are brass? and easily removed with the wrench. I imagine that there originally were other, larger size metric wrenches also.

Don't think there are any brass bolts, however Kubota's have what I think would be described as gold (colour) passivated bolts.

Thay seem to be fairly corrosion resistant.

Hi all, original poster here. First let me say thanks for the great and priceless information on the original factory tool kit for the B7100!

I have been collecting wrenches and sockets as I visit the local junk stores. I should probably add that I already have complete wrench and socket sets in both standard (up to 1 1/8") and metric (up to 19mm) in my main tool box.

However, when I started this thread my purpose was to put together a kit to keep on the tractor, and the factory tool kit seemed like a logical place to start since they would have put some design thinking into this.

As noted above, the factory tool kit included the following:
Wrenches: 26/21 22/19 17/14 14/12 12/10
Sockets: 22 and 12

These do not all seem to be exactly common size combinations (at least from what I see on the Craftsman website for example) but I have been able to find the following wrenches:
19/17 17/14 12/10 open-end wrenches (some of these actually look like they might have been out of some kind of factory tool kit, maybe from a motorcycle)
19, 21 and 22 in open-end/box end wrenches
I also have picked up 20, 21, 22, and 27mm sockets.

That leaves the elusive 26mm, which is something of an odd size. I'm curious as to whether anyone knows what it is used on? I did pick up a wrench that is unmarked but seems to be either a 26/22 or else it is 1" x 7/8" and these are very close to the same (26mm is 1.026 inches, 22mm is .866 inches and 7/8 is of course .875).

If I knew what the 26mm wrench is used for, I could see if the one I picked up fits, or grind it a bit to make it fit.

Also, if anyone can tell me what the 12 and 22mm deep sockets are used for that would be a great help as well, those seem as though they would be pretty specific in their application.

Thanks!

Well, the 22mm socket is for an M14 bolt or nut.

The 12mm, I can't seem to find listed in the catalogs I have.

But come to think of it, I seem to remember using a 12mm a lot on my motorcycle.

Thanks for the response, this is a great site!

I'm not clear on what an M14 bolt or nut is, but I was thinking that if they included the wrenches and sockets in the factory tool kit then they must be things that you are likely to need to put a wrench on in common maintenance or adjustment, so I'm wondering what on the tractor you would use them on.

All leads appreciated!

12mm heads are on 8mm bolts, the fenders and steps are held on with that sise fastener. The 26mm is the size of the hex on the suction screen. 14mm heads are on 10mm bolts, the transmission, PTO cover, shifter cover and 3-pt cover bolts.

Thanks Brain55, I had a feeling that 26mm was something pretty specific.

I'll see how my junk store wrench fits on there. If it is actually a 1" wrench, it will be a bit undersized, so if it fits there should be no danger of rounding the shoulders which is the reason i would otherwise avoid a non-correct-size wrench.
