B7100 starter solenoids are unavailable from Kubota without buying the entire starter and aftermarket suggest they are for 1984 and earlier. but also says to check the end hook to make sure it's the same - if they are it works. Visually my 1993 has the same end style but is later than 1984...

Owners manual says "Check Nozzle piece" 100 hrs but doesn't say what/where that is? B7100 Owners manual says "Check nozzle piece or replace if horsepower drops abnormally". But it never says what this mysterious "nozzle piece" is? Maybe it's some standard diesel related component I'm not...

I have an oil leak that appears to be by the oil light sending unit. The parts manual does not show any kind of oring or seal there....how is that sensor sealed? *** Reading/searching the forum - one person mentioned that this engine has an oring that fails in the headgasket right around that...

kubota radiator has a seam that needs soldered and my buddy who's a licensed plumber, has done lots of soldering/repairing tractors before is going to fix it today. he said he only has 95/5 solder on hand - is that okay to use? internet is really slow so searching isn't going well.

my B7100 radiator is about shot and $400 for a new radiator doesn't sound appealing. i realize that's chump change for some of you considering the value of these things but nonetheless figured i'd ask.

B7100, 1800 hours. had a lot of white smoke coming out of a "vent hose" that comes out of the top of the valve cover (just 2 or 3 inches long-not sure what it is) today while mowing. never done this before that i'm aware of. burning oil.....coolant......nothing to worry about?? not loosing...

B7100 has a small bubbling leak right where the top radiator inlet (for the hose) connects to the top metal tank. How nice of it to leak with easy access, when does that ever happen!? ! :thumbsup: Appears metal. I have a welder but not sure what kind of metal I got here. I could stuff it...

Mows and drives fine but seems a bit lower on power than when we got it a few years ago. Seems to bog down going up steep grades more than I remember. Changed all fluids - oils, trans oil, diff oils, axle oils, etc. New air filter, fuel filter. Any other tune up items I'm missing, I went...

What are the spec's for B7100 valve adjustment? I saw 0.006 mentioned elsewhere but this shows 0.008 for both: Kubota Engine Specifications Seems straight forward - do it completely cold, remove valve cover, orient to valve completely closed, then adjust.

look at the front snow plow/dozer blade from Kubota for a B7100 and i currently use mine to mow with a 60" MMM. i don't know much about attachments. can the subframes usually stay on the tractor when installing the MMM or does the subframe have to come off every time? no one knows if the...

my headlight sockets are toast on my kubota B7100. i'm going to install sockets and bulbs from the auto parts stores. are regular 9005 automotive headlight bulbs total overkill? the only other sockets they have are for like parking brake kind of bulbs. they seem really small for headlights...

i stripped the bolt threads on a B7100 that you loosen to bleed air from the fuel filter case. the theads are stripped i have no problems repairing threads, chasing threads, heli-coil, drilling, tapping, etc. my question is which repair to consider? on cars often times you can just get a...

I'm not well versed in this stuff at all and just spent an hour reading other threads here and many hours reading online over the past couple weeks. Water leaks where the block meets the slab, on the uphill side of the foundation of course. With one heavy rain it'll get damp in the corner...

is this something you get better at or is something wrong? i've never hooked up a 3PH attachment before...well smaller plows/discs but those were easy to move and i didn't notice. I wrestled with the new brush hog for a long time before finally getting it hooked up to my B7100. the two 3PH...

This is the first time hooking up a PTO shaft for me, except for the MMM once. I spent a while and numerous attempts trying to slide the PTO for a 48" Landpride bush hog onto my B7100 rear PTO. i can get it to engage and go on maybe an inch or so....is there a trick to getting it to fully...
