kubota b1700

Hey guys. I'm 30 miles away from my tractor and just realized I have conflicting information in my notes. On top of that I'm headed 90 miles this afternoon to buy wheels... Does anyone know know bolt pattern on the front of a 1996 B1700? I have in my notes both 6 on 4.5" and 6 on 4.75"

I have a 90's Kubota B1700 with AG tires and want to trade for a set of turfs. Rears are in good shape, comes with new spare tube Fronts are brand new (less than 5 hours)

Picked up this 95/96 B1700 with LA301 Loader. I've wanted a orange loader tractor for years! Didn't take long and it's already in the shop for some work.

Looking at a B1700. No loader. Seems to be in extremely good external shape and either garage or barn kept. Comes with a 4 foot rhino in good shape and four foot box blade. Price is just under $6K. The main question I have relates to the fact that the hours are extremely low. Under 100...

Hello all, looking for any guidance or thoughts on a sickle bar for a B1700 HSD. Looking to mow some grass around my ponds, nothing crazy light duty stuff. - Looking for something that needs some work or maybe light modifications. Not planning on using it more than a few times a year so a new...

Hello all wondering if anybody might have some thoughts on this one. I have a B1700 HD with HST, 540 hours, pedal does not return to neutral in either direction, forward seems worse though. Here is what I have done so far: - Lubricated everything, removed pedals from shaft and cleaned...

hi I need to locate a seller of spare parts in Australia .. we need the pin? that breaks before the rest does if it hits a rock.. even the name of what we need would be really helpful :)

I have a B1700 HST 4WD with about 1300 hours on it. A couple of weeks ago, it started losing power when I'd first press the accelerator: the RPM would dip, the pedal felt soft, and then it would engage, the engine revved back up and things seemed normal. The loader and hitch seemed fine. Over a...

I have a 1998 Kubota B1700 tractor with 570 hours on it. Recently it has been losing power, and even stalling as it seems starving for fuel. I have changed the sediment bowl fuel filter, and even a nearly new one doesn't make a difference. There is a tiny bit of water in the sediment bowl, but...

Good day everyone, I have a Kubota B1700 with an unusual starting issue. When the tractor is cold, it (usually) starts up fine with no problems. But after I have been running it a while, when I turn the key, the ignition lights come on but no engagement of the starter. No clicking and the...

I have a Kubota B1700 and I'm not sure if the 2 things are related but...I had a metal tube that moves hydraulic fluid brake this week and I lost about 2 Gals of fluid before I realized I had a problem and shut my tractor down. I replaced the tube and everything seemed ok, sounded normal and I...

Hello All I came across a B1700 for cheap that apparently has a clutch that is inoperative and won't drive. It is an HST 4wd model. 900 hours What might be wrong and how hard/much is it to fix? if I can get the price cheap enough I was thinking of picking it up to tinker with and use or sell

My B1700 pto shafts stopped turning. Linkage is ok and working.

I am new to my friends farm but I am a repair man by trade / electronics / mechanics. Farm equipment is new to me but should be basic for the most part, but I am a firm believer in RTFM! Read the #@$% Manual! That's why I am here. For some coaching or direction. The tractor is starting to slip...

I have a Kubota B1700 which has run fine for 14 years. The other day it stalled on me. It seems to start fine (sometimes) and run for about 10 min, then sputter and sometimes dies. After about 10 min of cranking it will start back up and run fine for another 10 min or so. It does this even if it...

Will my Kubota B1700 be capable of handling a Land Pride RB3572 back blade? I found someone selling one for $400 in good shape, which seems to be a good deal. I'll need it for plowing snow and grading my driveway. BTW...I am a newbie to tractor ownership, and this site has been a lot of help.

OK, this tractor has the three cylinder Kubota D905 diesel engine. It became difficult to start. We isolated the problem to the glow plugs. I checked all three glow plugs by removing them and hooking them directly to a 12v battery. One of them was bad so I bought a new one. Installed the...

Hi, the local school has a donated Kubota B1700 and I've become the de facto mechanic in charge of fixing it. We suspect the rings are shattered because someone used ether to try and start it, and since that time, it has had no compression. I took the cylinder head off and the cylinder walls...

My father has a B1700 thats been a great machine for him but it developed a stalling issue the other day. It'll start right up and then stall a second or two later. We've got power to the shut off solenoid and if we connect a 12v power supply to it directly, the tractor runs fine. Not knowing...

What is a good price for this Tractor?

B1700 yr? 96 hrs. good shape value unknown? B7200 1985 4wd 467 hrs good shape value ?

B1700 with 1200 hrs. For the last few weeks, sometimes on startup, as I'm turning the key and it's starting to turn just before the engine catches, there is a clunking sound. It seems to be close, like it is coming from under hood right close to the back up near the instrument panel. Sometimes...

I have Model 1200 loader, currently attached to a "resting" L245DT. Can this loader be mounted on a B1700? Would like to have a loader again. Thanks for any help.

I got around to doing a compression test on my Kubota. It's not looking good. It only has 530 hours on it. I bought it two years ago, so I dont know the history before I got it. Well on to the results. Number 1 cyl. 340, number 2 cyl. 200, number 3 cyl. 360. Is there a way to make sure it...

Have a 1996 B1700 with about 530 hours on it. I bought it used a couple of years ago. I have been having an intermittent starting problem with it. The engine turns over fine just does not start. I have been doing a little reading to try and figure out what is going on. When it will not...

Hi All, I'm lookng at a B1700 with an FEL and Woods backhoe. It runs great, but looks bad with 850 hours. Dealer wants $10,000. Does that seem like a fair price?

Hi Everyone, I'm currently looking at a B1700 with an FEL and a Woods Groundbreaker backhoe on it. It has 850 hours and seems mechanically fine, but looks pretty bad. Lots of small dents and faded paint with rust on the backhoe. The dealer wants $10,000; does that seem like a fair price? It...

Hello, I am new to the forum. I purchased a used Kubota B1700 and am looking for a rear mower to do some bushhogging and mowing. This probably won't serve as my primary lawn mower but would be used for tall grass and cutting brush areas. I have 16 acres, 6 of which are wooded. I see many...

What is the model number for the four way plow for the B1700 HST? Thanks!

Hey Folks, I'm a new (used) tractor owner - B1700 with 1100 hours, FEL, blade, and bushhog. It's my first tractor and I'm enjoying it. That being said, I recently noticed that the rear PTO is rotating very slowly (maybe 1-2 rpm) while the pto is "disengaged". If I really push on the pto...

Hey folks, I've never owned a tractor, but I'm now shopping around for a small kubota. I've got about 16 hilly acres, and the majority of the land is too steep for our use, other than firewood gathering and hunting deer. About 6 acres of moderate slope is already cleared and I plan on...

I posted this link to more pictures in the 'Projects' forums...I have finally finished the project and have done some testing...This is going to be a huge labor saver for me... There are 3 pages of pictures from a wooden mock-up to completion... grapple project

Tried this earlier and was advised to try it again with the model in the title so here goes. When I got this the front axle leaked badly. Changed all the seals and O rings, leaks are gone, but I am still losing lube. I think it is because the axle pressurizes while operating, I can't find a...

I'm changing a head gasket on a B1700 if anyone has the head bolt torque specs to remove and install the head gasket I would greatly appreciate it if you could send it to me. I've worked on the older reconditioned Kubota's but not the newer ones so I don't know what kind of problems to expect...

I have been looking for quite some time now at tractors, and I think I finaly found one. I found a 1996 B1700DT, 4WD. It has 474 hours on it. It is a one owner, and it is at a Kubota dealer. It was traded in on a zero turn mower. They are asking $4500 for it. I would like to get opinions from...

i looking at a b1700,4x4,hydro,5ft mmm,625 hrs for a price of $5800 delivered to mi from mo.Does the price sound good?And any info or experience on this tractor would be great.

I was looking at how much a 1996 Kubota B1700 with a 10,000 watt generator, front loader, backhoe, and mid mount mower(belly mower) would cost. The tractor has very low hours and was well maintained.

I'm contemplating upgrading from my B7100HST. My B7100HST is a late-model (I'm told by PO '98) with a Woods DuAl 145 quick-detach loader. I have brand-new turf tires and wheels on it, plus the original tall & narrow-style R1's. I love the B7100HST, but there are two things I feel it...

I have a B7100HST. It has a pretty low lift capacity on the three point hitch, compared with most of the other B-series that I know of. 400 lbs. As I consider upgrading it with power steering, I also am aware that some of these other models have similar (B1550), or more HP than my B7100...

I am looking at a Kubota B1700 HST 4WD bi speed turn with 400hrs with a 60" mid mount mower. It is a 1996 or 1997. Is $6000 a good price? Anything in particular to look at when buying one used? Thanks

Considering a 1997 B1700 HSD with 300 hours. Includes LA301 loader, 54 inch MMM with collection system, and Kubota front blade. Price $9000. Tractor appears in very good condition. Is this a good price? Is there a source for "book values" on used tractors? Thanks in advance.

looking at a used b1700 with 470 hours on it. it it only has a 60"mmm on it. any pros and cons with this model?

When I shift into low range, it does not feel like it goes all the way in. I have tried stepping on the HST pedal, no change. When I apply a small load, it pops right out. Fluid and clutch free play are fine. Any suggestions appreciated. 1998, 17 hp, 430 hours

I just bought a 1998, B1700 HST, 430 hours. It will shift into low range, but almost always pops out when load is applied. Once, I held the shifter in place and moved the tractor forwards and back, and it stayed in low for the rest of the day. I haven't been able to do it again. It doesn't...

Hello everyone, I've been lurking here for some time and enjoyed reading all the post. I was wondering if anyone out there has any experiance with a B1700 Kubota? There is one for sale about a mile from my house with a finish mower front blade and 180 hrs. They want $7600 for it. I have done...

Oops! The operator was fine but very upset at himself. Now how do you fix this situation...

I am looking at purchasing a B1700 with LA301 loader. I know a little bit about compact tractors, but I do not know much about this vintage (97) of Kubota. Is there any down falls or short comings of this tractor? I could use a bit of advice and this is the best post to get it from.

I'm looking at buying some side link hydraulic cylinders on eBay that are from a B1700/2400. I'm thinking I could use them for a double top'n'tilt on my BX22, but the clevis is welded at 90 degrees to the lower link receiver, while on my BX, the rotation is more like 45 degrees. What do the...

Looking for information on building a backhoe subframe for my tractor. I have a la301 front end loader. Would love to have some pictures of how it hooks up. I do not know where to attach at the rear of the tractor. Also looking for a good used backhoe for my tractor. jwb nonnerby@mchsi.com

Is there any reason why the 1999 year model of the B1700 only has one PTO RPM; i.e., 540. Does this limit your use of a FEL and/or a backhoe? Are there disadvantages to having only one PTO speed? Also, is the B2500 virtually the same as the B1700? If you have a B1700 and would like to share...

I would like information regarding the grass catcher for the b 1700. Does it give a nice vacum look to the lawn? Does it clog up from time to time? I have 5 acres to mow and the cut grass is starting to accumulate.

I'm looking at a 1999 b1700 at a dealer lot with 54 hours on it. It was originally sold in March 2000 and is a one owner. It has a mmm with a kubota grass catcher. It looks in mint condition, but the dealer says he's had it since last fall. His list price was 10,750, but he came to 9,900 then...

I'm in the market for a newer tractor ... but I'll have to get rid of a late '70's B1700 ... and I have no idea how to price it. The JD dealer (I was looking at the 790) said he'd give me about $1500 for it for trade-in value. That seems low to me, as it is in good shape, and would include a...

I have come accross a B1700 with 259 hours on the clock. This machine comes with an Allied Loader model 80, with both a 60" and a 48" bucket. It also has a 3PH sprayer and a Farm King Box Scraper with Tines. There is no mower. The price converted to USD is approx. $10,650. I have looked...

I would be interested in any aftermarket conversions, intake mods, or ideas to increase power of engine. I love this tractor but could use a little more power for climbing hills while mowing and FEL work.

I am close to purchasing a B1700 with loader and 60" MMM. It's a hydro transmission with power steering. The dealer wants $10,900. This machine is totally MINT with 100 hours and 7 months left on the warranty. Not a scratch on it. Looks brand new. In fact, I don't think an impliment was even...

I bought a B1700 TLB with the intention of landscaping my yard and then selling it. Well I like having a tractor much too much to be without one ever again. I only have one acre and after a little more work with the BH, I will mainly need it for mowing and snow removal. I have a couple of...

Hi all. This is my first post although I've been lurking for several weeks now. I'm finally ready to buy, but recently ran into a new B1700 left over from last year. I was at the dealer looking at a BX2200 when i saw it. I asked the dealer what he wanted for it, and he said something along the...

I have an opportunity to purchase a '99 B1700hsd with 54" belly mowerwith 80 hours for $9000. Is that a good deal? Also I have an older 78-79 b6100E with original equipment. Does any one have an idea on it's value.

Early 80\'s B1700 I have the opportunity to purchase a B1700 4WD with loader and 3pt from a construction company. The Tractor seems to be in good mechanical shape, but poor exterior shape. It needs tires all around, a new battery, and some paint. All hydraulics work fine, 4WD works fine...

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much a B1700 with front loader weighs?

Does anyone know the difference between a B7100, B1700 and B1750 in terms of loader lift capacity, HP and other features? Thanks jetman@ultranet.com

I live in Massachusetts and want to use this tractor for grading my 2acres of land, plowing in the winter, cutting grass in the summer and other misc tasks. What should I do for snow plowing. Do they make a cheap attachment for snow plowing that can remove the bucket off the loader and replace...

I'd like to widen the rear wheels on my B1700. The wheels are already flipped - the hub (proper term?) is already on the inside of the rims. Where should I place the jack? Will the drawbar carrier support the weight of the tractor? I have the turf tires. Will I run any problems or cause any...
