What could go wrong?

 

@koditten and @Lt. Dangle took me 1.5 hours to get the ROPS on and fits (LIKE A GLOVE) pun intended. In my work shop, everything torqued down and adjusted for the new addition to the B7100. Next to tackle that leaking lift cylinder.

 

Almost forgot to post pictures.

 

Looks good! Still can't believe you drove 15 hours round trip for it lol.

Hope you never need it.

 

What are those bolts you used for the rear wheels?

 

I'm glad you got that! as hilly as you are, it only makes sense.

Just make sure you wear the seat belt. They work better as a pair.

 

My Big Tex 60EC (6000 GVW 16 ft economy car hauler) came with Bias Ply GoodRides. I did buy a matching spare tire and wheel for it from the dealer, and it was dirt cheap which shows the quality of the tires. I probably only put 500 miles/year on the trailer (picking up wood pellets and moving the tractor mostly) so I haven't bothered getting something better for it yet.

 

Gotta go measure and buy a seatbelt, but I know where it attaches

 

You mean the hubs?

 

The set pins. With the cotter pin

 

I'm totally drawing a blank lol, sorry.

Explain like I am 5 and let me try again.

 

The pins that you can move the whole wheel in towards the body of the tractor or out for stability.

 

Yeah the hubs lol.

I bought these, but there are many like them and they came with the pins. If you're looking to replace yours, just get ones that have the pinch bolts and you are good.

 

I think I just need the pinch bolts

 

You might want to check your hubs. If they are OEM they have a different pinch method than the revised hubs.

It's been a few years since I dug into this, but OTT should have the info you need.

Basically the OEM ones can only get so tight and then they loosen very quickly. The revised design that kubota implemented at some point fixes this mistake. Hence all replacement hubs have the newer design. Not sure when Kubota switched, but mine didn't have it and if your hubs are original, they shouldn't have it either since it's older. It's possible they have been swapped already though.

 

I'll try torquing down a bit more. I'm not a fan of the clevis pins either. Gonna look into this a bit more.

You want the grey ones for sure. See what you have.

I did reuse my Kubota pins instead of the Chinese ones though.

 

Had this one come in with leaky pumps.




Found that someone cheated and added form a gasket to the head seals. The seals were no longer flexible. I think the FAG caused the nitryl O ring gaskets to become rigid.

I replaced the gaskets with new and re assembled.

Otherwise, this seems to be a nice unit.
