My wife and I just picked up an ‘80 b7100 Diesel 4x4. She bid on it on accident and we both love it. It needs a new clutch though and a lot of work. Ot runs and drives well though. Thanks for sharing your restoration. Looks fantastic.
Nice tractor restoration. I also like the new lights, mirrors, and tool box. I own a BX 22, bought it new in May of 2003, I have also added the same items that you added. Lots of fun. Hope you enjoy your tractor as much as I enjoy mine. Beautiful job on your part, you can be proud of the work you did.
This video is 3 years old but, nice job. I have one of those. Bought it in 2008. For 16hp it's a little beast. Runs out of traction before power. Does things my 23hp gas garden tractor can't.
Good job Steve. I know he must have been right there with you all the time when you all were working on it. Because I know if he had left you alone with it , well let's just say it would have been a good chance it would have been painted red. Lol.
I personally didn't have anything to do with the restoration, as you can see. I'm not allowed to take my yellow sticker labeling machine anywhere near it either...-)
Steve Jordan Naw he just has really bad luck with anything mechanical. The poor guy, new or used all he has to do is look at the thing and boom, it's broken 😛
buy Kubota, complain about the dealer, attempt to fix it it, get mechanic friend to fix it, complain about obtaining original parts, complain about manufacturers providing parts, complain about the tools needed for repair, complain about tool manufacturers, Finally piece it together, get it running, misuse it and break it. Final Act: Vid on why you should never buy a Kubota
Just a heads up on the D750 engine series, the oil pressure might be too low due to a bug in the oil channel manufacturing of some of the D750 engines. You need to make sure you have a restrictor in place in the end of one of the top camshafts, otherwise you will have too low of an oilpressure and the engine will wear down a lot.
You can mount the exhaust in a choice of positions I think my brother said. It actually fires out at an angle so you get very little fumes. When I had a go on it, I didn't notice any at all after the initial start-up.
Hi Rob yes it does have hydraulics for a bucket loader etc plus it has a PTO shaft on the front as well as the back. My brothers are going to get a grass cutting machine to go on the back. I think they are fed up with the ride on mowers they have had. This tractor was made in 1986. I never knew these mini tractors existed until they bought this one. It is so well made.
Hi Steve. They made/make quite a range of small tractors including centre pivot units. Most are 4 WD. I've even seen some centre pivot units with a small backhoe on them - really useful for tight situations (which is pretty common in Japan). Quite a few used in Oz. Pretty expensive originally by all accounts. A front PTO is a bit unusual. Interesting video, and the resto looks very nice. Cheers Rob
Beautiful restoration

Excellent restoration mate, great little tractor that go for years, it’s amazing what these little bangers will do

I wish my B7100 was as tidy!
Lovely job from the Jordans as usual!!!
I have a L-245 that looks about like what you started with , Nice little tractors , Nice Job on the restore !
I like koboto tractors alotp
Cool little tractor!
Good job Kevin. It looks and sounds great!
I installed a kubota in my wooden schooner. Best engines under 100 hp
well done Jordans, looking awesome
We’re did you get the led headlamps from
a good ol' type 1 b1700
Once the new exhaust system is fitted it will be amazing.
Hi Phillip... that is the original Kubota exhaust system.
They weren't too bothered about upsetting the peace of the countryside when they designed it.

A boy and his tractor!
Thank god chucke2009 wasn't involved or the thing would still be broken 😂
Why... does he botch things up?
Steve Jordan he has far too many projects IMHO

The guy can weld like a pro but he cant fix anything lol
By any chance do you have the measurements for the carryall?

you Jordan boys have areal talent for mechanics, machines, excellent work.
If that's in England, the ground looks very dry
Hi Len, It is really dry. We are having a heatwave summer this year. The last time it was like this was in 1976, if I remember rightly. Regards Steve
yes, I was living in W London then. '75 and '76 were very hot and dry, and then '77 about the same at least for Liz' 25th jubilee
Why does the exhaust point forward? Surely that means your almost always driving through the exhaust fumes?
You can mount the exhaust in a choice of positions I think my brother said. It actually fires out at an angle so you get very little fumes. When I had a go on it, I didn't notice any at all after the initial start-up.
I can imagine getting more fumes when turning left. As for the tractor - lovely! I wish it was mine :-)
Do you still have the kubota??
Hi yes it isn't mine though it is my brother's tractor.
@@SteveJordan it's a nice peice hope to see more of it.
Kubota make sweet small units. Typical Japanese quality. Does that take hydraulics/a bucket loader ?
