Fixing a worn out Kubota B7100 Part 1- Splitting the tractor and stripping the gearbox.

[@TheJapanChannelDcom]

Anyone can strip down a machine like that...... but few can put it back together! Full respect to you, sir!

[@dznutz3598]

We have not seen him put it back together, yet?

[@eyeballairvent1248]

Marty will do it. He is the master. 😎@@dznutz3598

[@ApprenticeGM]

@@dznutz3598 He will! 100% track record, has our Marty!

[@schsch2390]

Especially putting it back together a month or so down the way. Probably has a paper or printout manual but intrinsic data base Marty has demonstrated is large.

My dad was a career mechanic and my mum worked nights as a nurse... when I was a little kid I spent many a Sat morning in the garage with Dad watching him working on all sorts of things... this video gave me such a nostalgic feeling of my childhood! Cheers Marty for inadvertantly bringing back fond childhood memories for me... just by watching you strip down that gearbox :)

Same with my parents. My father a Caterpillar mechanic and my mother a nurse. Both retired ❤️😊

[@josephgotter1115]

When I was a youngster, my dad always told me that the manual transmission is the only thing out there that you can put 5 gallons of parts into a one gallon container. Now that I am older and have rebuilt several engines and transmissions, i believe every word!

[@DanKoning777]

You're right Marty-this ole girl has had a rough life, but being owned/worked on by you is just what she needs. Looking forward to part 2. Well done as always, and as many 👍👍👍 as I can give ya. God bless.

[@MrPhotodoc]

Nice to hear the Cicadas outside the garage there. Expecting a very active season here in North America this summer.

[@b7100ripper]

Kubota B7100..... probably the best little tractor Kubota ever made! , well worth the time and effort to get it back up to 100%, great videos , keep them coming , good luck with the re-build.

[@KR-hg8be]

Not surprised. I had to do the same job to a b7100 14 years ago. That model seems notorious for trans wear.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Look forward to part 2 of this adventure!

[@mikemoore9757]

I had to do the same job to my B6000 years ogo. It wasn't that bad of a job; just a lot of work. I feel your pain! The damage was caused by me from trying to move a heavy load while in reverse gear. Kubotas are really a top notch tractor.

[@LeMecanoDuDimanche]

I have the exact same model so this serie will be a keeper for me. thanks Marty for the great content

[@gregdrmax]

You are a mechanical savant for putting things back together. Brilliant man!

[@bruceleealmighty]

Love the straight forward builds and rebuilds you do. Primarily without power tools to boot. Thanks for the video.

[@2tana22]

A bit more complex of a job, this day and age we have videos and pics to help the process going back together, fun to watch the process, those 6302 are quite common, thanks for the share Marty

[@lyndonwortley6329]

Off the top of my head I think they are used in chainsaws/strimmers etc along with 6202 that Marty mentioned as well. Hopefully they will be on the shelf of Marty's local bearing factor.

[@RetiredPilot]

Looking at the way it came apart I would say this machine was looked after with proper oil changes and had a bit of bad luck with the geer box, I owned a 7100 for years and used it a lot on a orchard, the biggest issue was it was prone to over heating and cracking the cylinder head. Take good care of this one Marty and it will last a long time also a great learner for the kids.

[@mrdwets8952]

This is a perfect video to have at the start of the day with some coffee. I have never really seen the insides of these gear boxes so this is a great experience for me!

[@davidnaudi2601]

Very enjoyable love watching something that is scrap brought back to life.

[@davidm2645]

Glad you know how to put it back together cause I sure don't. Good on you, mate!

[@robmatthews7972]

Good that you found the problems. Look forward to seeing reassembly and running.

[@MrGeroth]

Marty, you are just unbelievable. You just start taking parts out and no matter what.

[@dalebechtel8904]

So much admiration for engineers. To develop and make these gear boxes are amazing.

[@Shagnasty]

Enjoy your the first part. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks for sharing.

[@warmpondwater1610]

There is nothing more scunkworks and enjoyable than, hearing a throbbing three-cylinder liquid-cooled 46.5 cu-in B7100 Kubota supporting a strainght pipe.

[@senselesscat555]

His knowledge and skills are out of this world💪🏽🔥

[@daddyg5654]

Thanks Marty showing me the smaller scale repair that I will be experiencing on a White 1365. The same two gears are stripped apart but everything is much bigger and heavier. We're taking apart another White 1365 to get the parts we need. So I'm doing it twice....They're not my tractors. I'm helping a 75 year old miller. Should be fun....

[@MartyT]

Good luck.. yes thankfully the Kubota is nice and light to work on

[@Cranstal]

Looking forward to the re-assembly. What a job!

[@alanlake5220]

You always turn out excellent informative videos Marty, and they are a joy to watch you work through any problems methodically and calmly .

[@stevejohnson345]

Brings back memories from when I completely restored my 1979 B7100 4X4. What started as a simple engine repair quickly turned into a D950 swap and complete teardown and restoration project. Can't believe it's been 10 years already and I still have it to this day.

[@terryrogers1025]

Nice to see you repairing the tractor, it was on its way to becoming to much of an expensive project to salvage but you have intervened and are giving it a new lease on life, maintenance is always the key, which you already know and do a good job of it. Thanks for the video and I appreciate you taking the time to share.

[@brunomckay1875]

Mrs Marty, "Marty have you seen my toothbrush?" "What colour is it?" "Purple." "Nah I dont think so. Ask the children."

[@MartyT]

😆

[@assassinlexx1993]

Recording and talking is key to rebuilding the part. Miss seeing your young helper. But transmission jobs and young ones never mix. Good luck with the parts. Hope there is no bending over involved with the cost of these parts.😮

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Marty T :) also agree 100 on parts need to fix up Kubota tractor and be running smoothly afterwards assembled back together and first test drive too!

[@bluedunn374]

Wow those tractors suffer well. Great work 👍

[@trucker85d47]

Nice job what you do takes me back when my dad was alive I grew up helping him fix car tractors and small engines keep up the great job you do love watching 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@Treeplanter73]

That's hard-core disassembly. I'm a maintenance tech, I wouldn't attempt that. Great job, keep up the great work, I love your channel.

[@brianelliot2719]

Thanks Marty ! You’re giving us a dose of confidence that we could take a machine apart and put it back together again…although I’ve learned to take many pictures along the way. 😊

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi Marty and family, good job, we can tell you love this fixing up things, myself also that way inclined. Many thanks from UK.

[@kelvinrf]

Having this video is going to be a big help when you put it back together next month. 👍

[@theodoranorton4779]

A very informative and enjoyable episode. I hope your children get a chance to see the box before it's closed. Basic mechanics that keep things going...so long as there's a good mechanic handy.

[@MartyT]

Toby had a good look inside, he was fascinated

[@greghanlon2235]

Nice video Marty. Love seeing you heal the infirmed.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Fun to watch. Here in the U.S. if we tear into a transmission that deep we just replace all bearing and seals. Lot of work to get into it and all of the original bearings have same time and abuse on them. Some have already failed but we wouldn't trust the others to not fail soon.

[@northeden8661]

143 pieces and I have to hold my tongue in my cheek to make them fit back together just right. Piece of cake. Just kidding. I would not attempt that. Good job Marty.

[@Sk8rdad420]

The good thing about filming it for yputube is he can watch the video for clues of how to put the thing back together😂

[@everestyeti]

I'd have to take a photo every time I took something apart, because you can be 100% sure there would always be something left over after it's been put back together. 😂

[@AdamDeal-KF0PRI]

back in the day we layed the parts out in order we pulled them out and it helps to have a good parts ordering diagram too!

[@stevenr8606]

​​@everestyeti 💡yep❗️ NOW, where does this go❓️ Don't tell me 1st or 2nd piece 😮

[@ronaldheit196]

​@@everestyeti. We used to do that on rotor transmissions and GE T58 turboshaft changes on Coast Guard Sikorski HH52a Seaguard amphibious helos. Lots of Polaroid pics every time because of occasional modifications ARSC would do on us and not always send manual addendum about them sent along with the rebuilt assemblies. Only way to be certain everything went back correctly was lots of pictures. Q&A loved them before and after the swaps. Made post swap inspections easier for them.

[@mishahendriks3020]

Wow… please don’t tell me there’s just a pile of gears outside of the video frame….. excellent job Marty, thanks for the video

[@terrytopliss9506]

Doesn’t seem to bad in the gearbox Marty,can’t wait for the next video on the rebuild. Thanks for the video.👍👍

[@Avboden]

Hey nice timing, i've got one of these sitting in my barn right now. I need to pop the front case off and fix the cam oil plug issue that causes low oil pressure at idle. They're really cool lil tractors! Mine came with big spacers on the rear wheels, makes it way more stable. They absolutely need weights on the front for any rear implements though. I took my front loader off and tried to pick up a tiller and it did a wheelie!

[@williamkn621]

As usual we loved the video Marty... Informative and enjoyable

[@goodfes]

I sat here thinking my word, I would be lost pulling that all apart. Can see you thinking how can I get some assist with the reassemble, saving ball bearings and clearly making notes to camera (aren't they now a godsend). However I would not have the balls to rip such a complex item apart, but then I thought I am happy to pull PC's & other IT tech apart, upgrade bits and put them back together, that is my trade. I guess each to their own. Quite fascinating to watch your content, really enjoyable !

[@HamJamming]

Good video, Marty! I'm looking forward to part 2.

[@PAINFOOL13]

Another interesting fun watch. Thanks Marty 👌🏻

[@NigelMarston]

I am definitely one for stripping down some complex machinery but I have to put it together very promptly or I lose my way a bit and forget where all the parts go. 😅 Good fun video for a Friday morning. Regards from England. 🇬🇧

[@frukc]

that's why you should film the dismantling process :)

[@DanKoning777]

Nigel, in the video you could hear him saying "...this side is proud-the numbers go towards the face" etc-those were reassembly reminders. I'm sure there were more we didn't hear to aid him later.

[@NigelMarston]

I'm stripping my Merc GL's transfer box on Sunday morning and installing a new drive chain. There are FAR fewer parts involved in this than in Marty's video but even so... wish me luck. 😄

Not sure about the availability of the gears but the bearings are pretty standard and should be cheap so well worth replacing. best of luck getting all the bits back in in the right order. Watching from the UK whilst eating my breakfast.
