OK, local dealer confirmed that the seal has been revised. New version is no longer 2 piece. Has an integral "race" portion still, but not separate from the seal. I got everything back together with some effort. Needed 4 hands, but just 2 available. I used a small bottle jack under the...

So I've seen a few threads about how to replace these and a couple YouTube videos. I've got it all apart, definitely need a large snap ring pliers, not the basic one from the auto parts store. All the earlier info references that the new seals are 2 piece. The seal that goes in the knuckle...

So I've had a B7800 HST with the LA402 loader and 72in Belly Mower for almost 15yrs. I bought it new and am now creeping up on 900hrs. It has been reliable like a hammer. Other than fluids, filters, and 3 batteries it has needed nothing. I love it. However I'm now a little older and...

I put a new set of blades into rotation at least every other year. Sometimes once a year. I run the Gator Mulching Blades and mowing leaves in the Fall seems to have the most wear. I pitch them when the tips get too rounded as then they leave a tuft in the center thats not cut. I've got 3...

So I have a 72in Mower Deck I bought with my new Kubota B7800 approx 15yrs ago. I've not had a lick of trouble with the tractor or mower. Money well spent. Approx 850 hrs on the tractor and half or a bit better, say less than 600hrs mowing? But this mowing season I've noticed a little more...

I've got a B7800 I bought new in maybe 2006 for $18K with a loader and 72in Belly Mower, I'm on 10 acres and its been great. Mow about 4 acres, drag a few logs for firewood, box blade for the gravel drive. I'm now around 900hrs and all I've done is change the fluids/filters, keep the radiator...

Well the T140 has 2500hrs on the little Kubota motor and it very well could be 15yrs worth of crud. Just seemed like a bunch of mud more so on the belt side, but maybe that's normal and any debris gets flung off the belt and ends up there? Tracks are about 90% so for my needs this should cover...

This is my 1st skid steer, but I'm not new to tractors and equipment. I bought a used T140 for around the place. I know the previous owner. The important parts of it are very well maintained, fluids, filters, greased, etc. However cosmetically it needs some love. So far I've swapped the...

OK I bought the Bobcat T140. While its heavier, and has 500lbs more lift capacity, its VERY similar in footprint to the Kubota B7800 I have. Small enough I can haul it and implements on my 10K trailer. I've messed around a bit in the yard, and yes it can/will tear things up if you are not...

The yard, not a lawn, immediately around the house we keep looking decent. But 100ft away around the shop gets a little sloppier :-) The tractor makes a few ruts if I haul a basket of firewood up to the house, but I try to do that when the ground is frozen. Yes, I'm leaning towards keeping...

When we 1st bought the place I had an ExMark 6ft deck. It was great at mowing, but with hills and obstacles it was still a 4hr job to mow 5acres. We've got a few trees, dry creek, and 1/3 of what gets mowed has a pretty good side slope. You could make time in the back field, but its not...

OK I've had a Kubota B7800 (30hp, HST, 4WD) that I bought new for the last 13yrs. I bought it with the loader and a 72in Belly Mower. Its been flawless, no complaints, and I've worked it ALOT at 100% capacity. I'm on 10 acres, mow at most 5 of that, rest is woods. We heat with wood, I do...

At that many hours I'd pull the radiator and physically clean the outside. Flush the fins out of debris. They make coil cleaner in a spray can for your Home AC unit which are aluminum. Its just a heavy degreaser but pretty cheap. So Purple Power or Simple Green might do the trick too. My...

AMZ has the Hobart E71T-11 .035 for $60/10lb spool which is about as cheap as anywhere. I've tried the BlueDemon, other off brands, and even the HTP (which is supposed to be USA Made) and they all have issues at times, just not consistent. I used LOTS of the HTP with no issues, then fought 4...

They all seem to use a 7-12 AG Front Tire or the 23x8.50-14R4 regardless of whether its a B7800/3030, B3200, B3300, or the new B3350. So it can't be a wheel size or tire rating that allows the newer tractors to have a higher lift rating? Did the actual casting/part for the front axle change...

I've had a B7800 with the LA402 loader for almost 5yr snow with about 250hrs on it. It seems like the loader doesn't have quite the lift that it did new. I have been pushing it a bit harder than usual lately (building a limestone retaining wall) and hitting the relief valve. I know I've lost...

My new to me '94 F250 Powerstroke came with a fold over ball similar to the attached. I've never used it as I just had a bumper pull trailer. I'm know looking to upgrade trailers (maybe a goose) and decided to check out this hitch I already have. It appears to be mounted well enough with...

A tip to remember: Letting the air out of the rear tires makes the tractor 5" shorter. Pulling the valve stem cores makes the air down go quicker. After a lovely afternoon/evening of digging it was dark and I was tired, hungry, and ready to knockoff for the day. I had the ROPS up and wasn't...

For those of you with the belly mower do you wish you'd gone with the other available deck? I'm pretty close to deciding which model and brand I'm going to get. I think it's B7800 (although I considered the B7510/7610 and Deere 2320) even though I don't need 30hp but want more than 20hp...

I'm in need of something to temporarily heat up part of my shop. I have 24x40 with one end (15x24) walled off and insulated. I heat this with a wood stove plenty fine. I occasionally have a bigger project going and need some temporary heat in the uninsulated space. So I'm at Wally World and...

I'm closing on a small acreage with house and such next week. It's 9.2 acres with most of that being grass that is finish mowed currently. It's fairly flat with the buildings, pond, and a few trees to mow around.The PO purchased an Exmark Lazer ZTR w/72" deck and 27hp liquid cooled gas engine...
