The Kubota Project

The chronicles of modifying, maintaining, and using a '79 Kubota B7100D.

I don't envision removing the front end loader from my B7100, but folks in Europe have crafted some interesting front-mounted 3-point hitch hardware for these tractors. They're certainly not affordable, though...

MANUALS, REFERENCES, ETC.

If you're in the same boat as I am -- wrenching on one of these old little Kubotas -- there's a chance you're in need of some reference manuals. Kubotabooks.com is a great reference, but the sheer traffic that site draws means it frequently goes down for the count. Well, I hope I can help. If you have a B5100, B6000, B6100, or B7100, here's some reference material for your use.

B6000 Service Manual

B5100, B6100, B7100 Owner's Manual (B6000 controls are similar)

B6100 HST, B7100 HST (Hydrostatic) Owner's Manual

B6000, B5100, B6100, B7100 Service Manual, Pt. 1

B6000, B5100, B6100, B7100 Service Manual, Pt. 2

B6000, B5100, B6100, B7100 Service Manual, Pt. 3

B219 Loader Owner's/ Parts Manual

I did recently pick up a B5100/B6100/B7100 "Technical Manual" that has more service detail than the Owner's Manual, but isn't as comprehensive as the official Kubota Workshop Manual (WSM). I'm working on digitizing this as time allows.

I'm starting The Kubota Project to document my progress wrenching on this little ol' B7100D, but for an intro, I'm just copying what I already wrote on my other blog. evanknowsweirdthings:

I swear I started this merely to add a tachometer to the Kubota B7100. Honest, I did. I simply wanted to know if I was over-revving, under-revving, hitting my PTO “sweet spot,” etc. But like all projects, things just kind of devolved from there. The little B isn’t in horrific nick, really. It’s...
