    Oil & Fuel Cold rookie mistake

    funny, my brother worked in refinery and said winter diesel had more off their off products from refining blended in like propane so it was cheaper fuel for them but I guess those things help stop the gelling.

    Universal Romanian tractor Qs

    thanks jeff9366, I looked at some of that too. I guess I need to pin down the model number and decide from there. It is red cab style but box-ier looking, not the curved edges of the newer looking designs. I'm thinking it would have been 90s when he got it. There was a local, good backyard...

    Universal Romanian tractor Qs

    too funny Torvy, i totally agree with you but when I cross the border everyone still thinks the Canada side is PNW. For us that would be more like Arctic Circle/North Pole vicinity! 😀

    Universal Romanian tractor Qs

    I knew him very well. He came from Slovakia in '68 when many left the country during political turmoil. He worked in heavy equipment fabrication outfitting big stuff to work in the logging industry. He made this backhoe attachment for the Ford 1500 I now own. We modified it to fit my 1962 IH...

    Universal Romanian tractor Qs

    My elderly neighbour recently passed and I am looking at buying his enclosed cab tractor from his estate. I know it is made in Romania and he bought it brand new locally. Will most likely have low hours as it was used on small hobby farm. Reasonably well-maintained and kept indoors. He told me...

    Kubota B7100 HST won't start, cranking sounds weak

    My 1984 B7100 HST started fine, my son hooked up brushcutter and brought it to shop to grease it up. Afterwards it wouldn't start. Sounds like a weak battery. We tried different battery, jump starting... just won't kick in. It sounds like it's laboring as it turns over, not cranking as hard as...

    Kubota B7100 coolant flush Qs

    I have an 80's model Kubota B7100, about 2800 hours. Coolant is looking brown and ugly. Today it was boiling off overflow as I drove slowly using brush cutter on heavy, tall field (I worked it pretty hard). I've drained vehicles before and messed it up by not letting thermostat open, and then...

    F935 transmission fluid change/ level not showing on sight glass

    I changed the filter & TDH fluid on my F935. Manual calls for a capacity of 4.6 quarts, and to check level on sight glass. I'm sure I removed a lot more (it's been awhile since I did fluid change), and I added at least 5 quarts and never saw anything on the sight glass. What's the deal ? the...

    B7100 mid mower mounting. HOW?

    I have a B7100 HST 4x4. I bought a RCK-54 -71B mid mount mower deck. It was off of the other B7100 when I got it. I have no idea how it mounts onto mine. I have a front hydraulic operated blade set up and think I might have to remove the blade to get the front "hanger" (?) to set up...

    B7100 HST mid-mower questions

    I have a Kubota B7100 HST 4x4. I have a front blade set up that I can move hydraulically, and I also have a rear brush cutter. I am looking at a mid-mount mower and wondering if I need any special mid-PTO set up, or if this tractor has a stock set up to handle this without any changes or...

    Alternator converted; need replacement

    My 1962 IHB414 was alternator converted. It has some sort of Delco alternator with a small, external regulator. It doesn't charge battery. I was hoping I could go to an auto wrecker and pick up almost any alternator with a built in regulator, and then just run one wire to my POS battery terminal...
