It's a long story. I'll keep it short. I've had trouble attaching implements (mower) to this pto for awhile. Last time we used force (tapping hammer) to get the mower attached. Anyway, it went crooked resulting in a leaking seal and a broken bearing on the pto shaft. When the shaft was...

Okay, I have a shot ignition switch in my b2710 (very similar to b2910 or b7800). I have a new switch; however, I'm unable to access the backside of the panel. I think that I may need to remove the throttle lever to loosen the black rubber panel behind the gauge panel (sorry if I'm not using...

Sorry, been gone a couple of days. I'm talking about the bushing(s) on the shaft on which the lift arm pivots. You described it better than I. In the interim I looked at a McKessicks (?) document (b7100) which showed only 1 bushing, which was on the left side of the shaft. For fun, I will...

I have 2 kubota tractors, a b7100 and a b2710. Both were purchase used. What I have noticed is that both have a spacer on one right side lift arm, where it is attached to the tractor; however there is no spacer on the other side. Is this how it is supposed to be? Or am I missing spacers? I...

I have a '95 Kubota B7100 hst. This tractor runs great once started and also starts immediately when the engine is warm. The problem, or question, is how much should I have to turn it over before it starts? I always turn the key on for 20-30 seconds before turning it over; however, it coughs...

I just changed my fan belt. Old one looked tired. Outside pulley has an odd sort of 'adjuster'. It seems positioned in place; however a bolt runs through it ---apparently to adjust tension. Right now the new belt seems tight and I need to understand this thing before I run the tractor...

The bad news is that I have an oil leak that I"m trying to pinpoint. I guess the real question is could it be anything other than the head gasket? Tractor runs fine and there is no water in the oil; however there is oil leaking from somewhere near the oil filter at around the level of where the...

Started my B7100 today after checking all fluids. Radiator was down at least a pint. Anyway, engine seemed too loud, got down, checked it out. The story is that the exhaust is coming out of the intake manifold, while the muffler was acting as intake. To verify I placed my hand on the air...

My B2710 with 260 hours runs great. Never had any issues other than those created by me; however, I am now unable to put it into 2wd. When I push the lever forward to 2wd, it will pop back up into 4x4 as soon as I start moving. Any suggestions as to a fix for this?

I'm in the market for a pto chipper. I've read some of the postings not all, about the chinese chippers. What I'm wondering is whether you guys haul these around the 'ranch' or bring the material to the chipper. Why I ask is the 800 pound weight seems a lot to move around with my 27 hp Kubota...

I've been researching a small mower for my Kubota b7100. I need to mow in tight places and on less than totally smooth ground. I may hit a few rocks. What I've learned is that many of the small ones (42" is what I'm thinking) lack stump jumper protection. I'm asking, Is the stump jumper an...

I've just been reading about the pros and cons of tractor size, and why larger is usually better. I've been thinking that I need smaller to better get through my tight tree rows, but the smaller tractors seem to lack some of the features of my Kubota B2710. On the B2710, I have a 5' Land...

weighing in the neighborhood of 800 lbs. How would my Kubota B2710 handle moving this around my farm? Tractor has fluid in tires and a front end loader.
