This tractor is an early late 80's early 90's.. Fairly modern looking 4x4 3 cylinder diesel the kicker on it is.. its only 13 hp. Thus the need for a mini turbocharger. We will kick it up a notch or two. I've been doing all the paint stuff right now. Having trouble finding the blue gray frame and motor paint so i settled for the new gray. Tractor is coming along swimmingly. Pictures still to come.

ok here's some pics of the beast. Its mostly in pieces right now. Getting new updated paint on frame and sheet metal. Turbo still hasn't arrived yet. Should be done with tractor paint and tires on Thanks giving day. I painted the front loader support system dark gray like the rest of the frame. I am going to paint the front loader gray as well with an orange bucket. This Gloss gray should look great on the front loader. Sorry I havn't got any pics of the tractor before... I never think of these things ahead of time.
Happy Thanks giving.

It really is a pretty good tractor. It has 950 hrs on it. I got it all put back together this morning. It looks like a brand new tractor. I hope I never see orange paint again. I get to start on the loader tomorrow. Thinking of doing the loader assembly the same gray as the frame. The Gloss gray should really stand out. Will send some more pics in the morning.

Great looking tractor Rip.I just bought a '93 B4200DT about a month ago with 179 hours on it with a front loader only.This thing is in really good shape and I'm steadily learning to operate the loader pretty well so far.I'm very excited to see other older small Kubota models still out there and yours looks to be one really nice project.Keep up the good work,look foreward to seeing more pics.
