Kubota B7100 Tractor Repair Part 2- Fixing Seized Brakes, Replacing Broken Dozer Frame Bolts.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

I laugh so hard when you say to the chickens, "Don't come in here and shit on my tools! " Thank you for sharing! 😊

Same.

Chickens aren't particularly bright so you need to remind them constantly.

I can't even describe how relieved I am to see that monstrosity of an exhaust extension finally gone. It's been bugging the hell out of me since the first video.

[@jonwright8291]

The joy it brings me on a rainy miserable day in England, to see that you’ve uploaded just a 14 min video is unreal 😂😂 cheers Marty!!

[@alanlake5220]

I second that

[@H4rleyBoy]

Raining up in Yorkshire too, and an hour of Marty is nearly enough.

[@wtxza12]

Same here (NL)!

[@rapido2963]

Watching here in Sussex UK while the rain batters the windows!

[@TheOtherBill]

My English friend told me once that's the only type of day England has. In his exact words "You can tell when it's summer in England because the rain gets warmer."

[@everestyeti]

I know some doctors who could learn from your bedside manners. Talking to your patient and reassuring them is always a good move. 👍

[@gerry-p9x]

Really sometimes. I have the smartest. Conversations. With. Myself

[@josephking6515]

Mmm, I would not be reassured if my doctor said he was just going to tighten my nuts. 😲

[@akda5id]

And when the nurse comes barging in, "Don't you dare shit on my tools"

[@larrygingerich2585]

Not on mine, you don't!😂😂

[@thomasbroker69]

As ever beautiful to watch Marty. Lovely job on the brakes !

[@terrytopliss9506]

Certainly wasn’t a well maintained tractor before you got it Marty. Thanks for the video.👍👍

[@stanleygallman7800]

Marty T just wanted you to know that I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos with a person knowing pretty much what they are dealing with and you make it all look so simple. Great job and thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@IR-nq4qv]

The further people live from the main hub, the more resourceful they become. You're a smart lad Marty, always thinking outside the box

[@caveweta]

Can’t wait for part 3. Onya Marty.I want to see that raft trip.

[@Vault57]

5:48 Vicious little velociraptors. Coming into your shop, hunting in a pack. Vocalizing about the best way to take you down...they are too chicken to take you on alone! 🙂

[@josephking6515]

So that's how all the 10mm tools go missing. 😲 Those little basturds. 🙄

[@craigsudman4556]

Wow that was a lot of loose nuts, good thing you caught them Marty. Looking forward to seeing the "Ole girl" run again. Great video thumbs up.

[@StephenCole1916]

As you were saying this bolt was loose and that one was loose, I was thinking "I hope he goes and checks every single other nut and bolt" and you said that you would do that, made me feel a lot better about the project.

[@mlsargent51]

I smiled to myself when you pulled out the cordless impact! Made my day!

[@NickManCuso59]

Hi Marty. Something tells me your chickens have done their business on your tools more than once !

[@tujuprojects]

Diarhea into toolbox.

[@MartyT]

Yes a runny one in the middle of my socket set 😂

[@Shagnasty]

Hi Marty, glad you checked her out for loose bolts. Can't wait for part 3. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@townsville69]

The raft journey sounds like it will be a fun adventure.

[@gbentley8176]

Been mulling over this machine since your first video.Reminded me of a conversation with the then new UK Kubota dealer in the seventies. The tractors were engineered for rice field and wet terrace work and of a size and simplicity, that the farmer could work on it in the small huts that were used on their properties at that time. I think they got it about right considering the mini tractor market that they spawned. Best wishes from the UK.

[@alskjflaksjdflakjdf]

I remember my Dad having a similar conversation at a farm show in Canada in the 80s. I have driven Kubotas doing golf course maintenance, and thoroughly enjoyed them.

[@williamwales6619]

Thank You for update. As you say the old girl hasn't had a lot of love and attention. It will get it now. Later 👍

[@bmortlock1956]

Suggestion: A 50/50 mix of Acetone & Automatic transmission fluid. Makes a great rust buster !!! 😎

[@wwfeatherston]

Used to use 50/50 deisel and kerosene

[@francistheodorecatte]

the blade frame on my father-in-law's kubota built tractor has the bolts loosen up constantly. I had to teach him to torque them up every couple of runs down the driveway in winter, because they were backing off even with some threadlock on the bolts.

[@alanlake5220]

Little old tractor getting some much needed overdue Marty Love

[@johndeerekid167]

So that's why my Kubota manual says tighten frame bolts every 50-100 hours

[@MartyT]

😂 Worth checking, it only takes a few minutes

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@MartyT 👍👌👏 Definitely worth checking! Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@tomasdevine7756]

Yea but most of us just drive till its kaputs lol ​@MartyT

[@danestormfeltz7815]

@johndeerekid167 I have a suggestion, I would put some Loctite on all those bolts. Cheap insurance so that they wouldn't loosen up and back out on you again.

[@zarb88]

a bit of locktite would seem to be a better answer

[@kenfrazier616]

great to bring the machine back for good use

[@fredsimmons2793]

Salute Marty,I'm watching this right before bedtime,it's my nite cap.

[@TKM1951]

It occurs ,if you drag it home . It’s eventually going to be another excellent find . Cheers from Canada

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Straight up ol' skool mechanicing. Fun to watch.

[@Jack_C_]

Nice one Marty. Bit of trivia, the muffler can be made to point straight up by undoing the 4 nuts on the manifold and rotating it 90 degrees. I believe this was so you didn't blow exhaust all over your crops. There was a chrome extension tip on the end originally, very similar to what you made.

[@gordonagent7037]

Marty I love your vlogs, you certainly are a clever bugger and cover a wide topic spread, really enjoyed the electric conversion on the 4 wheeler as I learned heaps, if I have any complaints, the length of your vlog isn’t long enough.

[@BigAmp]

Happy chooks good to see.

[@micromacmacca1170]

I’m loving this video. We have the exact same tractor but with a bucket on the front. We also have the grader blade but can’t have on while the bucket is on.

[@schrodingerscat8621]

When you were loosening up that brake mechanism, you were rolling up a piece of sandpaper when you were sanding in the hole. I’ve made a tool for just this situation by taking a half-inch piece of dowel, cutting a slit into the center down about 3 inches, so you can insert a piece of sandpaper, then you can put the dowel in your drill and clean out holes with ease with little effort.

[@MartyT]

Very smart

[@shaneeaston4027]

I see you found an old pair of tiger pattern pants from the rag bin. You must have been notorious at the disco in your single days.

[@garymallard4699]

I was wondering whose those were ? too 😂 🇨🇦🤓🤙

In case you missed it the first time- 5:50 "GO ON, DON'T SHIT ON MY TOOLS" 😂 Classic Marty T. speaks to the chickens. Laughed out loud 👍

[@allenhenry1113]

Wow! Now you have tightened them, and you could mark them so you can keep an eye on them for losing them. Great job you are doing . 👍👍👍

[@ΑκαρνάνΚάππα]

Another little tidying up done for now. Thanks Marty T for the meticulous check up on the Poor Old Kubota.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Brakes are small because they're running before the reduction gears so they're running at higher than axle speed. More effective despite the smaller size as the gear ratio effectively multiplies the braking torque!! Great to see you flying on with this. Vile weather over here so always good to see a Marty video! Time for some boating in the sun soon Marty?

[@MartyT]

Funny you should say that, I just took the kids out in the new sail/rowing boat yesterday, I'll be making a quick vid about fixing the split oar and testing it on the water

Wow..that thing was a deathtrap. Its good you found all those loose bolts

[@bruceleealmighty]

Like that you get everything up and running in reasonable condition then go back and make the unit whole. Looking forward to the building up of the cracked out casing and LOCTITE on anything visible. Just have to love the remote farmer 'make due with what you've got attitude'.

[@marxtuf]

Great video and gotta love them chooks. I'm surprised that you didn't give the same love to the left brake as the right. Just for piece of mind.

[@davidclarke3450]

Thanks for the video !

[@easttexan2933]

Outstanding !! Anxiously awaiting the "put it back together" video lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@MartyT]

I'm waiting on the new gears, should be here any day now

[@PaulineDace]

The broken casting o0n the brake fram could be made good with metal filler. Clean the area thouroughly, wrap the bolt in cling film and put into place, fill the damaged area with filler of your chice. When it is all set, take out the bolt and grind the area to shape. Good episode.

[@rottmanthan]

back when i got my yanmar one of the first thing i did was go over it all checking bolts, all engine and trans/rear end bolts were good, but some front axle and loader related bolts needed to be tightened with one bolt needing to be replaced, also tightened the steering box.

[@davida.p.9911]

Amazing to be able to disassemble machinery without a shop manual. 👍 And reassemble it. That takes a lot of skill. I also see someone sacrificed their Zebra striped shirt for a shop towel....very brave. 😅

[@LeMecanoDuDimanche]

I see exactly why the exhaust was mounted like that, and I am affraid you will get fumes in the face. that's the setup I have right now and sure enough, I smell exhaust everytime I use the machine. I plan to make a vertical straight pipe, but shorter than the one we saw on yours, and with a kind of valve at the top, you know. great video anyway, you made me save some time already because I'll have to change my rear brake pads some day. thanks

[@zzota]

The brakes aren't what you'd call 'accessible'! Well done for sorting the seized one.

[@davehine724]

You are the best Marty T!!! Thanks for putting these vids up for us.

Watching restoration videos i'm so used to seeing screws and bolts seized to the point of sometimes snapping off, never seen one where everything was loose :P.

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 The bolts could be replaced by locktighted bolt studs and then wire lock the nuts, lots of work but cut's down on maintenance 😅

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Great comment. I thought about it too

The fix is coming along nicely bro. Not a lot of preventive maintenance has been gone into this little beauty sadly by the looks of it. Safe travels. Ken.

Thanks for posting these videos I have the same tractor, but the lever for 4WD is broken off, as well a the high/low lever, luckily it's in 2WD high.

[@MartyT]

Should be a fairly easy fix to weld the lever back together?

[@erik_dk842]

@@MartyT The shaft for 4WD won't budge in the gearbox housing, I need to split the tractor. The hi/lo is in the cover with the gear shifter and has been loosened, now I think about it.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Marty T :) nice TLC everything on Kubota tractor before other parts and see needs also don't need !

[@87mini]

I got a good laugh out of your chickens - my reds were the same way, as curious as can be! I had one who would come up behind me when I had my arms deep into a machine, then she'd leap up and land on my neck or shoulders!

[@jamesbull890]

It's always puzzled me since I found out the engineering standard for thread depth for screwing into a casing was 1.5 d which means one and a half times the diameter of the stud or bolt. Considering the quality of some castings and machining I would have thought they'd need much more. Thanks for another great video.

[@robertpeters9438]

That thing had so many loose bolts that it reminded me of a Cheat ten an kit!

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Great video! I Love watching your videos and your attention to all of the details. i would put a grease fitting on the brake on the other side of the tractor. Awesome call on checking all of the nuts and bolts.

[@coachman290651]

Hi mate pull all those chassis bolt clean the thread holes and replace with loctite they done it once they will come undone again

[@AppalachianRancher]

Anytime I have a shaft like that that's frozen up, I soak it in vinegar overnight. That usually eats out the rust pretty good.

[@MartyT]

I wonder if the orings would have let the vinegar in

[@AppalachianRancher]

@MartyT I thought about that but from the amount of rust it had seemed like moisture was getting in there somehow. Thanks for the reply . Tennessee here.

[@mrv8788]

As a ex mechanic for over 45 years I’m retired now when it comes to breaks if you do one you do on both sides of the machine just because it feels right. It doesn’t mean that would be no problem on the other side, so you might as well get the other one out and have a look for a penny for a pound as they say, just to make sure that it is safe when it comes to breaks out the front or back as my opinion, anyway that’s how I always worked. I would always sell the client if there was a problem with one break there’s a very good possibility. It’s going to be problems with the other one better to be safe than sorry

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Thank you for the comment as you said it better in details than I would 👍

Hi Marty wow what a good job you’re doing mate no managing director obviously hasn’t come out the check up on you.

I've seen you use that grease gun tip for several years. Here in the US I think that type is really uncommon. It would only be used on flush style fittings. We mainly use couplers that "lock" over the fitting.
