B21 TLB with 1700 hours

[BruceWard]

The tires are worn, would guess they are original and some hoses are rough.

What do you guys think would be fair price?

It totally depends on condition and location. You can tell how old it is
by looking at the date on the wheels. It could be a 97 or a 2007.

I sold my B21 this summer for $16K, but it had a 4 in 1 bkt and a factory
triple remote hyd setup. 2350 hrs and in very good condition. Yours
could be worth anywhere from $10-16K, without these options.

The paint is dull. I bet it is close to a 97.

It does not have any remotes.

A couple of hoses need replaced. The tires are worn, I would replace the fronts before using it. There is a metal bar exposed below the key, I assume it is the kill lever. There is a leak from the front gearbox. One stud is broken on one of the front wheels, the other front wheel is missing two nuts. The engine oil was black and had some diesel in it. The hydraulic fluid looked clean.

The battery was dead and it would not start when jumped. The

It sounds like it has had an abusive prior life, maybe in a rental yard? If so, I would personally walk away. I would get some prior history before submitting an offer, unless you are handy with wrenches too. Is the sheet metal damaged? What is the asking price, or is it a bid situation?

Two other things worth mentioning, the gear box leak maybe related to the 4x4 capability, and I would check that out?...Also, if you plan on using the B21 with a box scraper, or other implements, check to make sure it comes with the 3 point arms that came standard when purchased new, otherwise it will cost close to a $1000 for a new set!

I agree that this B has been neglected. Being stored outside is never good.
Maybe it is worth even less than $10K.

As for the 3-pt hitch, my B21 came with the wrong hitch, but you can buy
aftermkt 3-pt hitch parts for under $200, including a toplink that is
superior to the one from Kubota. (BTW, if anyone wants a Kubota OEM
3-pt hitch setup in XLNT shape, they can have it for $150 plus shipping. It
is for an L-series. PM me.)

The seller wanted $11K. I tried to talk him down then walked away.

I bought a 2004 with 1049 hours on it and am picking it up this weekend. Its tires look like new. But the 3 point hitch stuff is missing. So Dfkrug I would like to buy your 3 point setup if it will fit a B21.

Thanks

The 3PH that came with my B21 is for an L-series and will not fit a B21.

Could you tell me where to get a good aftermarket hitch?

Thanks

I have purchased generic cat 1 3PH parts from AgriSupply.com, incl
the toplinks, the stay chains, and the lift links. They have cat 1
3PH arms too, but I have not seen them first hand. You might also try
the many tractor parts dealers on Ebay. Surplus Center also has some
3PH parts.
