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...

I'm betting this is common tractor knowledge that I'm not aware of!? I noticed today the right side back tire is all the way out on the end of the axle. The Left side is right up against the inside of the tractor. So the right side is 6" or so further out than the left side rear tire. The...

I don't know much about brush hogs. I'm wanting to buy a brush hog but found a finishing cut 3PH mower that looks interesting. Is the difference only in the blades? Or are there numerous differences that make this a bad idea?

Awhile ago folks recommended 4 foot brush hogs for the B7100. All the ones I see are rated 20hp+. That's more than the B7100 has. Is that just a recommendation or should I be looking for lighter 4 foot brush hogs or something? I'm ready to buy one but have never even used one before, so I'm...

Are B7100 and B6100 FEL's or BH's interchangeable? Or other models that might fit the B7100 - B7200? Are there differences between manual and HST mounted as well? I don't need one enough to justify buying a brand new one. I seem to come across some from time to time on 6100's or manual...

Could someone snap a photo of the left side B7100 MMM connections? I have all the owners manual, for the B7100 and the 60" mower RC71-60B. I can't make sense of the connections for the mower to raise/lower on the left side (as sitting in the tractor). There's more connections on this side and...

My B7100 wasn't started all winter. I never put any additives in the diesel or properly set the antifreeze levels, i suspect it's close to 100% antifreeze. Is there anything I should do before trying to crank it up? Is there any chance of gummed up antifreeze or fuel? The lowest it got...

I have a short, straight, and very small incline driveway. The first 20ft is flat concrete by the house. The rest of the driveway, I'm not sure what it is. It's mostly blacktop but it's kind of "loose" and has a good bit of gravel in it, which I'd rather not end up in the yard! Will a B7100...

I have a 60" mower deck on my B7100. If I bought a 48" mower deck, would it quickly interchange or is the actual bolt on mounting hardware completely different? I only want something i can quickly swap out.

I don't really have much use for an FEL on my B7100, but if they're not much of a pain i'd buy one if I came across one. Roughly how long does it take to install/remove an FEL? Can you just remove the bucket (most of the weight/size)? How much is mowing hindered by having an FEL - tight...

I did read through the owners manual I have and found nothing. I'm going to remove the MMM and attach a snow plow and tire chains to my B7100. This being my first tractor is there anything I need to know about using this thing in the snow/cold? -5 degrees is about as cold as it gets here. i'm...

i just installed a new dynamo on my B7100. both dynamo connectors are the same, so i don't know which way to install or how to determine. is it possible it doesn't matter and it will charge based on how it's hooked up?

I'm not sure what to call it, but I want to remove grass from one area and put it somewhere else. Is there an implement I can use on my Kubota to do that? I have a section of yard I'm going to plow up for planting my garden next year. I have another section of my yard that needs sod. So i'd...

The B7100 Dynamo has a gasket for the coolant behind it. The old one had sealant on some parts of the gasket, including up the threads of the studs a bit. Based on the look and dirt of the parts and the metal under the old gasket, I would guess it's the original dynamo but i have no way to no...

the belt was riding around the fun pulley but the pulley/fan wasn't spinning. I assume the fan clutch or bearing is seized. is it a bearing or a clutch? and is that just a order it from Kubota deal or am is there a simpler method?

i have some clover/winter wheat mix i wanted to plant in mid september (suggested planting date aug 15 - sept 15). could i still plant it now or is that just a waste of good seed? if it doesn't come up now will it come up next spring? area gets decent hours of sun most of the day, loosing...

I did a search but didn't find anything about interchanging decks, so i'm thinking that might be impossible...or not worth the trouble. I already have one and I'm looking for another 60" MMM for my B7100. I don't see many 60" for sale but i've seen a few BX series MMM's for sale. They look...

I searched but didn't find anyone using gator blades on a B7100. Maybe they rob too much power!? I'm looking for new gator blades for my 60" MMM on my B7100. I've never bought a lawn mower blade before, so I imagine this is a stupid question. The online information is vague and seems to only...

I filled the radiator up to the top. Then after a bit of running, coolant will spill out the overflow/whistle at the bottom, but it's not whistling. I can imagine that it's normal but my automotive background tells me it's not supposed to loose coolant. In a car there's an overflow tank that...

This is my first tractor and since it is a smaller I figured I'd ask here first before reading much about specific brush hogs, posting in the attachment forum or looking to buy. I have a couple acres of flat land and a couple acres of heavily sloped area (side of a mountain) that I'll be mowing...

I ran my tractor with on road diesel for a couple hours and then refilled it again with on road diesel. It's sitting with a full tank now, is it okay to run it with that? I have all off road diesel now - I wasn't aware there was a real difference!

I've got a couple acres of grown up brush i'd like to be able to mow. How big of a brush hog can my B7100 handle? I'm seeing tons of 5 footers available, would those work okay? I've got ground engaging equipment (though i've never used it), would the B7100 be able to cut the ground up with...

I picked up my first tractor the other week - a 1994 B7100 HST 4WD with 1700 hours. Replaced HST filter, fuel and air filter, changed oil, greased fittings. Being my first tractor and first diesel i'm not sure if these things are normal or not: Black puff of smoke on start up, but none...

I've read all the threads about UDT and SUDT. If my tractor wasn't leaking fluid I would buy it. But i'm not spending hundreds of dollars on something just to dump it in my fields! I have ordered some new hoses and such but still want to run my tractor. I know the obvious solution is "don't...

Got a B7100 HST 4WD and want to do some maintenance before I start using it. This is my first real tractor and diesel engine ever and I'm wondering what fluids it has. How many different fluids are there for the engine/HST? Are the diffs shared fluid or separate? What engine oil do I use...

I'm a new B7100 owner. 1994 B7100 HST 4WD diesel. The MMM mounts to a 3 bolt set up on the frame. It looks like these attach points are starting to shear/rip off partially. They look useable still, but I obviously want to repair them now. I figure this is probably common but wasn't sure...

Howdy folks. I picked up a B7100 and look forward to getting to know this forum and the tractor. I have a few questions and hope this isn't "Overload" for you guys! I'm new to tractors and diesels but have tons of auto experience so hopefully i can catch on. Any tips on where to start...
