IMHO, for its size, the B7500 seems like a quality piece of equipment. I also want to be clear: I don't restore tractors, but this tractors has been outside a lot, and I just want to make it look a little better. It has considerable surface rust that's easily removed by sanding/blasting, etc.. The rust stems from scratches and scrapes that,seemingly, targeted the decals with GPS accuracy!!!! When the rust is removed, the decals will be gone, too. Hope someone out there can help. Thanks-Mike.

Bought it about a year ago. It has been left outside a lot. Anyone know if they still make new safety/any new decals for it? Or even N.O.S. decals? Someone must make O.E.M. quality re-pop decals for it. Also need decals for the Woods 6500 Groundbreaker Backhoe that came on it. Thank you.....

Bump on Backhoe removal to install quickhitch......

I finally have my manuals, but they do NOT show much about mounting a snowblower and quickhitch. Anyway, I understand I have to remove the FEL, but what about the Backhoe? My 7500 has the Woods 6500 Backhoe mounted to the framr/undercarriage of the tractor, not 3 point mounted Backhoe. It appears that the Backhoe mounts to the tractor frame right where the quick hitch attaches for the Blower. Ive asked the local dealer for help-UNBELIEVABLE-He told me "7500 eh? That was before my time!!! WOW!!! Anyway-I want to keep Backhoe on, if possible, because the weight will help offset the weight of the Blower. Anyone know for certain if the How has to go?

I have the factory owners and service manuals. I can find nothing on this 960 speed. I did notice that, according to tractor data, the B2320 Kubota tractor does have the 960 PTO Speed. I don't know if it is standard or an option. Thanks for your input.

I recently read a post about a 3 point hitch not lifting on a B7500. My problem is not the exactly the same, but has to do with the knob that controls the 3 point on my own B7500. I couldn't guess my 3 point works, or not, because the dial/knob that is supposed to turn seems frozen, or is seized!! The 3 point is all the way up. But even using both hands, it will not budge. My 7500 is a DT-TLB. Backhoe is a Woods 6500 model mounted to the frame and center link of the 3 point. Perhaps this knob was intentionally twisted VERY TIGHT, due to the Backhoe being mounted to the center post/link? Maybe to avoid unintentionlly activating the 3 point? Thanks-Appreciate any help you guys can offer....

Kubota B7500 DT-Another queztion: I was up in Northten Michigan last weekend, and I saw at least 3 other B7500 Kubota tractors for sale. What started me looking at them was a couple had front mount snowblowers, and I was curious if the seller would split the blower from the tractor so I could but it. Anyway, I noticed every B7500 I've seen has some vertical, looping, coils in front of the radiator. EXCEPT MINE!!! They go up and down, then loop back up again, several times. Is it some sort of cooler for the power steering, or-maybe-the HST? Thank you so much for all the help so far. I really appreciate it-Mike

Finally got manuals!! Anyway, I was looking thru the operators manual and saw a "blow-up" of my ignition switch. It shows the switch has 3 distinctive positions: #1 is "run", #2 is for "glow plugs", and #3 is "start". At least, I assume the 1st and 2nd positions have detents! Not mine-Mine has 1 detent only-The 1st, or "on" position. As for #2 for the flow plug, you must hold it there until you decide to try and crank it up! Shouldn't the flow plug position have its own detent, to? The spring inside this switch can get pretty stiff when trying to hold it in the correct position for 30 seconds if it's really cold. Anyone know for sure? If ask Dealer, but they would probably want to sell me a new switch!!! Please advise-Thx.

Newbie to this forum. Just got a 2000 Kubota B7500 tlb. Like many used things sold nowadays, there's no owners manual (probably buy it back on ebay, lol). All the lights on the rear have the wires cut off, and the light switch on the dash panel seems frozen up/seized, whatever. Plan on buying shop and owners manual, but since it's Sunday, all local dealers are closed today. Anyone know if this is common on these tractors? Also, does anyone know what viscosity hydraulic oil this tractor uses? Finally, are engine oil and hydraulic oil filters the same PN#? Local TSC Dealer says his chart shows they are same #. If it helps, mine is the gear drive model (D?), not the HST. Thank you.

Chris, don't take me wrong I have only your interest in mind.
I remodel for a living and see these problems all the time.
If you have water/moisture issues they MUST addressed asap.
Go after the guy who did this, Take lots of pictures bedore during and after. The guy screwed you up. Wheather he meant it does not matter, he is responsible, he is the pro. You
may be able to leave your ceilings depending on what was done?
If they are alright knief the wall the the top and leave the ceiling. Try one room, repair it and make sure that the
new process cures your problem.
Good luck, get some legal advice.
Don't wait the smell is hard to get rid of even after you fix it, if you wait too long.

Did you have a written contract with the contractor who installed it?
I have had good luck with with The Better Business Bureau if they are a member they have thirty days to resolve disputes or loose their standing. Just a thought, you can find their web site and check BBB.com I think.

fireplace on here in Maine, where they put one these thermal goundwater wells heating system? It does not work,

Blue,Green,Orange there all fine for joe homeowner. As someone mentioned a quality dealer is more important.
Personally in three years I have never needed a repair.
I found that all the JD dealers I have talked to are
pretty cocky , I went with Kubota
for the price difference.
Good luck, choose your tires that will suit your needs,
go hydro!

Did you remove the topsoil and or overburden down to the hardpan before laying in the gravel? If not it is probably coming up through? In my experience the filter does not always work, I think you need elevation/drainage on you side, in order for it to allow you to get away without removing the topsoil.

A 6 mil poly is usually stapled over the wall insulation.
Here in Maine the practice is to not poly the ceilings as to let the moisture out.
You may want to look into any potential moisture issues
you might create by putting fiberglass against the metal wall if that is what you are doing? It probaly should not touch?
I have found here in Maine I can hire it done(fiberglass)
for about the same price I can buy it for. Needless to say I let them do it. Worth checking on? It should also give you awarranty of some type?Good luck

I can relate to your road situation. If the base is not
mud, at some point I realized it is easier to spend your time and money adding gravel.
This will also create ditches.
