Need a new battery for B7510

[number two]

I believe most of the B series Kubotas use a Group 51R battery. Should be an available size from auto parts stores(NAPA,CARQUEST,etc). Interstate is a personal favorite of mine,and I know they make that size. Might not be a popular size in stock,but someone could have one overnight for you.

Wallyworld carries the 51R battery here in our area and is therefore reasonably priced. The R means the battery post + and - are reversed from a normal group 51 battery.

Yup, the R51 is the same one as my B7300.

You can use all kinds of batteries - if you get stuck with the terminals backwards putting in longer cables is an option. I prefer to stick with the battery the machine originally used but a previous mechanic at work didn't care and put whatever battery was in the shop in the tractors when one failed.

Have you looked into the higher amp alternator upgrade? I am thinking of doing it for worklight appliction as I don't want to be stranded far from the house or shop due to a dead battery.

I sold the 7500 & jumped up to a B3030 hsdc two years ago.

I had had to buy one today for my B7510, $99.99 at Advance Auto, 3 yr warranty. I didn't have the time to "shop around."

Just out of curiosity -does the new B2320,2620,2920 tractors still use the 51R battery and the Dynamo?

If you ran a machine with a dynamo vs. an alternator, you will go through batterys much faster.
