The Newest Addition To The Business! 1979 Kubota B7100

Hey I picked this up in June but now im getting around to making a video about it it has been such a great addition.For me if you have any suggestions for me let me know!

[@grilledmortal4096]

That's a great tractor. Still running my B7100 40 yrs later. The axles don't bend but the hubs wear out. That peddle is diff lock and the compartment on left is tool kit.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

I have found that tool kit to come in very handy

[@grilledmortal4096]

I did a clutch on mine yrs ago. That was a pile of work.

Great review man!

[@SkiddingF350]

I'm impressed. Good for you young man!!! Keep up the good work!!! Nice tractor!!

[@HIDhater]

You’re going to love that tractor! I have the same one that should be Playmate of the Month in an ugly tractor magazine. I call mine Krusty because it’s so ugly but insanely reliable. I use Krusty with just a Box Blade and a previous owner added much-needed weight to the front with old RR track dating back to the 1890’s. There’s a website I found with lots of B7100 owners that helped me revive her after sitting for a long time. It’s a Kubota forum called Orange Tractor I believe. That group is great and respond quickly to questions. Good luck with your business!

Nice rig. I have a copy from 1978. Still running and just needs regular services. I wish mine had a bucket. They are hard to find but I always have an eye open for one. Japanese made machines are hard to beat. I go to the dealer and parts are still available. Just like Toyota.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

Right on

[@ritterjon]

💥 That’s a fine looking machine! Very impressive to listen to you talk about it. Differential lock is the term you were looking for. *Keep on tractoring!* 😁👍

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

That’s it thanks lol

[@MrCheaterpipe]

Was lucky enough to find one of these with the backhoe attachment a few years back has been awesome for spreading material and digging up tree stumps breaking ground on new gardens

[@shaunfawcett8401]

Hey big guy, that's impressive to hear you speak of your machine , you sound like you take enjoy your job , and yes if done right you can be super successful in landscaping, if you put the time in work high and learn new things every chance you get the sky is the limit. Good job buddy keep up the hard work!!! Nothing can give you more pride then owning your own things paid for with your own money because you worked for it. Hope you do well with your business man.

That small opening in the side is a spot for a tool kit. I'm working on a 7100.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

Awesome

[@MsSheener]

So jealous of that tractor. I have a Ford GT165 and want a front end loader way bad. Keep up the good work.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

LOL if you get the chance grab it

[@chuckmorris7043]

We have the same 1979 B7100 here in Clackamas, Oregon. Owned it for about 25 years now. great tractor, with several implements.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

Awesome.

@@esloyaltylawncare8738 Ours has the same front loader assembly, same hydraulic. Ours also has front fork for lifting pallets or logs, and also have a bucket, both have front hooks welded on so is good for lifting, chain pulls. The engine just always runs good after all these years. for the rear, we have a blade for scraping the driveway gravel or moving snow. Howard 48" rototiller, and rear brush hog/field mower.. We were using it today for moving logs for splitting on the log splitter. Also used it for scooping up some loose branches off the field and drop over near the saws and log splitter. always use the glow plug for at least 20 seconds before starting the diesel when the engine is cold. It starts quick when already warm. I put some LED lights in the headlight buckets. Also, the oil pressure warning light burned out, so I found an LED bulb that fit in the lamp assembly just fine, and works good.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

@@chuckmorris7043 that’s pretty cool where did you get pallet forks from. You where able to find a led bulb for the oil pressure that’s hard to do at least for me

[@chuckmorris7043]

@@esloyaltylawncare8738 I am trying to send a picture of my front fork assembly. I will continue to try to get a picture of my tractor to you. When I first bought the tractor so many years ago, and the forks were on the front then. I think a custom made accessory by a 'handy person. Later on, I found a front bucket and had the shop weld and relocate the mounting brackets on the bucket to match the front lift on the tractor. I use the bucket the most, but, just the other day switched to the forks because we were wanting to deal with moving some limbs and logs, also using a pallet for some of our firewood stuff here.

Hi there. Good description of the features! I have a similar model - 3-cyl 16HP diesel 4WD with diff lock, manual shift & steering. It has a home-made front-end loader with a sturdy bucket modified to have C-channel forks inserted (square tube welded inside the bucket. I don't know the age but I'm at least the 3rd owner. it's not pretty but it's been a fine helper around my cottage property. I haven't had any axle problem, but I had to replace the steering box bearings because I muscled the steering too hard on flat rock surface. Also, note that the front axle arm tilts and has an adjustable stop on each side to limit the upper travel. My stops let the tires go high enough to rub on the loader frame braces and stressed the front differential so much that the bevel gear chipped teeth. I'm in Ontario Canada and my tractor is a B7001 - which is a 'grey-market' model in North America, so local dealers don't service it. Luckily some parts are common with the B7100, and my mechanic buddy nearby keeps mine going. As mentioned elsewhere, OrangeTractorTalks is the site to find maintenance/repair videos and a forum to get expert advice.

[@matthagge4792]

Really nice tractor. Having the loader is sweet too; they're hard to find. FYI, the engine in the 7100s is a Kubota D750-A and it makes 16hp. You can swap in the D850/950 engine in them and the D950 makes 22hp.

[@raivorudus1070]

The same he can make with turbocharger without change of engine

[@amoocceallaigh2766]

Best of look ,,EIRE ,,Ireland

[@GodsMount]

That cover is where the tool bag goes in. Its the built in toolbox. I have the same model.

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

ok thanks

[@michellejackson2105]

Nice ‘un

[@harrisoncook530]

Imm think thag pedal is either differential or bi speed turn

[@DolittleMccoy]

Do you happen to still own the tractor? If so, Could you make a quick video showing the underside of the tractor where the loader attaches. (Subframe). I have a kubota b4200 and I'm wanting to add a front loader. But I need a subframe to mount it to. I can't find any references to look at in order to get an idea how its made. A quick video, or afew pics send via email would be appreciated.. Thanks.

[@kaleip]

I just got one but it didnt come with a bucket can you please share the distance between the 2 pins on the bucket i have to modify mounts on a different one because i cant find original bucket thanks

[@Iskxvspeeddually]

How do u like that’s finish mower I have a Kubota b7100 when my dad bought it he paid 2500$ it came it’s a snow blower and a finish mower but it was a 5ft and mine it only rated for a 4ft

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

I don’t use it very much but it works good I use it mostly for rear weight.

[@sergei9382]
