Mini 4x4 Kubota Tractor with Major Issues.. Can We Bring It Back to Life?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- I bought this Kubota 4wd diesel tractor a few months ago as a non runner, last time the owner tried to start it, the engine locked up. Turns out he had left it out in the rain without a cover over the exhaust, water entered the engine and it hydro-locked when he turned it over. Lets fix it.

Please never stop making these videos, they’re my absolute favorite to watch
I second that 👍
Absolutely I see Marty T and bam I'm on it.
I agree!!!
Marty you are a Legend
AND, please make them longer...
To add to your list of tricks: if you put the three point lever in the "lift" position, put a screw diver through the hole in the PTO shaft, and move it back and forth, it will lift the three point manually. I've had to do that a couple of times to move a dead tractor.
That's a good trick, never thought of that
Holy crap.
That's going to be a handy trick someday!
The kids voices with the balloons was great, your daughter is definitely the sensible sort! Dad!!!!
If the pump is tight enough this works, I've had 3pt not lifting manually with old pumps in need of overhaul.
So if you keep driving with diminished hydraulic pressure, you have yourself to thank later on when a tractor get as bad as the ones Marty usually picks up i.e non-running engine but you desperately have to move the tractor and you've got nothing to lift/tow/facilitate it's moving from that position.
Another factor to consider is you'll likewise struggle with heavy implements in place as the pump just isn't going fast enough to keep up enough working pressure.
just hearing your child's delightful, tinkling laughter makes this vid a 10
Love the feathered apprentices wandering under the tractor.
Haha yeah they are characters
I've always admired your calm approach to fixing problems. Never any ranting or swearing like a lot of the "will it start" gorillas.
Yeah that was my only complain as i watched him first time...........
✌️😁
Watching these videos takes me away from reality…. A comfort zone.
Beautifully put, he is a super mechanic and a joy to watch and listen to.
We can't, but Mark can. 😄
kid laughing with enjoyment at the end was great,,,,
@0:08 - Marty, mate, it's high time you finally got a tractor. I think it's one piece of equipment you have been missing out on! 😄
I didn't have many toys in my sandpit as a child.. I'm making up for it now 😂
Marty the balloon trick was worth the price of admission and your Daughter loved it it tickled me to see he walking around with a Purse over her shoulder
A Dad getting his kicks at the end there! ....good to see. Nice little tractor.
Sweet tractor, please take us along on the transmission repair.
Marty can bring any mechanical dinosaur back to life. He's New Zealand's Richard Attenborough of Jurassic Park fame.
No he is the David Bellamy of New Zealand.
@@MegaDirtyberty David Bellamy doesn't have ANY correlation to Marty.
@deanjones2525 Well he is far far superior to that attenbrough guy.
@@MegaDirtyberty 😁
He's actually New Zeeland's Mustie1 Darren / Watch Wes Work combined.
Your daughter has really grown. I remember you coaching her not to tell Mom that you brought another broken tractor home. And that was years ago.
As soon as I saw the vertical exhaust pipe, I called it.
Looks like a B-70. I resurrected one from someone's scrap pile years ago. Had been used by a landscaping business and run into the ground. Did not take much to bring it back and I used it for several years. Tough little tractor that always hit 'way above it's weight. Lost it in divorce and I have often wished (strongly) I had it back. Congrats Marty!
She wanted the tractor? Not enough to take a man's money, but the tractor too?
Yeah man if you lost a Kubota in the divorce you know things turned out poorly. Hope this man gets hold of another one some day.
When they grab a clapped out tractor too.. Man that's insane!
I'll never marry without a prenup that covers me to the umpteenth degree.
@RuneLStorheim she knew that'll hurt more the greedy b****
That's a mean ex, taking an old Kobota you repaired. I doubt she ever knew how to use it. I wish you find another one.
best dad of the year goes to you marty
For the life of me a cant understand why people cant put an old tin can or plastic drum on the exhaust stacks if their tractors, its not rocket surgery.
It's not brain science...
@@DomingoDeSantaClara😊
there is no reason why that exhaust outlet doesn’t point down like modern tractors do. Or, put on a flapper cap on an upward pointing exhaust outlet. Don’t need a brain, rocket, surgery or science to figure that out. 😊
@@mst5632 modern tractors don't backfire and set fields ablaze.
What they do in NZ is put an old wellie over the top of the exhaust pipe, i mean how hard can that be?. All the best Mr and Mrs Marty from England.
I have a tractor like this, without that handy looking front hydraulic blade. It’s a gem. I just need to keep the battery on trickle charge and it starts every time. My tractor is a b6100dt, 3speed, 4WD, 3speed rear PTO. Its motor is a 650cc diesel. It’s a handy little thing and economical. Don’t put that upper pipe on it as it’s not meant to be there, unless you put a flap cap on it to keep water and other things like wasps out. It will be worth cracking her in half, to check clutch, main shaft seals etc. I was lucky to get a shop manual with mine and I scrounged a parts guide too. I think you can still find them online.
The voice of your child sounds like BLUEY! 👍😀👍
The birdsongs in the background of your videos are amazing.
in a year or so this would be the perfect machine for the wee man to chase his dad around, another nice find. Marty you're pretty lucky to be in the right place at the right time when it comes to deals, 4 wheel drive, a definite keeper.
2:16 The one arm(horse)power tractor going in reverse! 😂
Those squeals of laughter are priceless!
I enjoy watching you fix the problems but also listening to the birds you have in the area.
These Kubota's are borderline indestructible.
Great games you play with your kids.
You can definitely verify your chickens are free range.
I hope you include more bloopers at the end. Seeing what goes wrong, or how you had fun, is just as enjoyable as seeing what went right. :D
I had one of those little 3 cylinder diesel kubotas- used it and abused it for over ten years and it never let me down! They are very robust if given even a caring look once in a while!! You’ll love it
I cannot WAIT for the transmission rebuild video! Thanks so much for bringing us along Marty, your videos are so meaningful to so many of us!
The bird life in the background sounds amazing
Well done! Kubota B7100 HST-D has been the main work horse of my little property for over a decade. Power and abilities of this machine will surprise you. Biggest little tractor you'll ever own.
Marty, the dad. So lovely. Thanks mate. So wonderful. Your family is so beautiful. Heartfelt. Cheers.
Even your chicken seems fascinated! Great video :)
Marty T is the National Treasure of New Zealand!!! Marty T should be teaching and passing on his knowledge to future Mancanics!!!
nice job, as soon as I saw the exhaust extension I knew it was hydro locked.
Hard to believe the rings didn't rust solid to the cylinder walls. You got lucky my friend.
21:40 The sound of happiness !!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome, sometimes you get lucky, that was a real cool trick with the balloons at the end.
What a lucky little tractor.
15:00 the boss is there making sure you properly fix her tractor hehehe
I'm pretty sure the Kubota gave the same squeal of delight as your child at the end when it saw that it was MartyT coming to the rescue!
The two things I like most about your videos are the kids and the birds singing.
Top notch mechanical knowledge to bring back life to a severely abused machine.
If he'd had replaced that pipe with a glass tube he could have used it as a rain gauge. My first Kubota was almost exactly like that one and I think it had more than 4,000 hours on it when I finally sold it. Tough as nails, but no roll cage spooked me. Thanks for the video!
Yeah the roll cage would be a big first point on the to-do list
Marty is the engine whisperer, so of course it was brought back to life!
My heart sank when I seen that water come out of the exhaust.but good job another cracking little tractor saved
When these machines need a doctor you're the best!! I love watching you work. You get to the core of all mechanical problems so methodically and logically. I and so many others I'm sure hope you never stop doing your videos. You are a great mechanic, instructor, farmer, father and husband!
Great place for kids to grow up. Their friends will love coming up there!
My workmate Joe the painter has part ownership of 8 racing greyhounds but keeps getting more. His wife thinks its 2. You'd get on well with Joe, Marty and you could discuss your metal greyhounds!
✅ ~ the importance of putting a tin, cowl or flapper on a vertical exhaust pipe, a small flapper would look great on that 😉
Those 3cyl 20 odd hp Kubota motors are worth an absolute mint.
The B7100 is the best tiny tractor you can get. Almost no plastic. Purely mechanical. Simple and reliable.
Love the quality control chicken 😂
That balloon at the end was great!
another great one from a great Dad ☺️, loved the balloon trick, I know your kids are happy.
I love the laugh from the kids!
They roll over quite easily due to the narrow rear end, best to make an anti roll bar, take care Marty 👍
One day you are going to have too line up all your gear for a photo opp. Better still, produce a Marty T Calendar, with a little story for each months pin up.👍
Another magic fix. Way to go Marty. Kids loved those balloons mate, was waiting for the ear shattering kaboom. 🤣
Never could have done it without the chicken's help.
That will be a great addition to Marty Island.
Can you imagine having this machine and letting it sit without an exhaust cap/soup can/bucket/anything to protect it from water getting in?!? I'm not trying to high road anyone, but dang. In Ontario these things are worth around 4-6k.
My first instinct was to cut that exhaust pipe and turn it down, but the last minute of the video showed me just how wrong that would have been! Thanks, for more great stuff!
That’s the best ending to a UA-cam video that I have ever seen !!
Best tractor ever invented
MARTY T. you are a master at reviving those old machinery. thank you for your videos. GERRY G. from canada.
How the owner never thought to put a tin can on the exhaust is beyond me ?
They may have not known about the water ingestion risk. They may have though they covered it, but forgotten. My grandfather's tractor shed roof started leaking once, magically dripped precisely down the exhaust. Some people have very little respect for tractors. I was at a farm once, they had a fairly late model full cab tractor sitting there at 3000+rpm to run an irrigation pump. Ran for hours like that. A second hand stationary pump would have done a better job and been a lot cheaper to fix down the track, but that was the cheapest solution at the time.
If I was a millionaire I would pay to have Marty come all the way over here and get my tractor working properly. ❤
2:12 That moment when you can move a tractor like a gokart 😂
Marty the Magician works his magic, again.
Goodness, i LOVE these old mini Kubotas! Please continue with more on this little bugger!
I always have to watch the new MartyT video when its released, I stayed up at 3am just to watch him save another machine and put it back to work, great job Marty.
Keep it coming marty
my first thought was "sweet deal"...until we found out the engine wouldnt turn....then when that water poured out the exhaust i was back to sweet deal again i knew it could be saved at that point 👍....you are a grand master at finding sweet deals
Those three cylinder Kubotas are pretty bombproof. They are used to run the refrigeration units on the big tractor trailers.
G,day Marty T from Sydney Australia.
Great advice from your son: "turn it off". I like your new small tractor, very handy.
🇭🇲🌏
Marty Flinstone reversing the tractor :)
One more top quality vid from Marty again.
Loved that last bit with the hot air balloon.
Love watching these videos with my kids. Thanks for all the work you do making them.
I learned to drive a tractor as a kid on one of these. Great little machines.
You have a serious tractor addiction. I fully condone it.
I really like those little Kubotas.Good job on getting it running without bending a rod or blowing the head off. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Part of true ecology is stewardship of what we have already manufactured as society. Thanks for resurrecting this equipment- you add to the productivity of the economy.
Nice little tractor for the kids to learn to drive!
As soon as you took the exhaust pipe off and the water poured out, I thought the same you said! Love your videos. Cheers, Stuart
Epic, could you make a video of the front-end blade attachments set up.
My first though when you said it wouldn't turn over was Hydro Locked. I was responsible for several large generators in my working career. One was a 500 KW Diesel supplying a data center. During one of its regularly scheduled exercises it didn't turn over. there had been corrosion in one of the cylinder liners and consequently cooling water filled the cylinder. Being a critical device, I had to quickly arrange a backup. This was just after Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast. I found an emergency Generator in Indiana, 700 miles away. They were able to get it there overnight. It was a 750 KW in a 40' trailer. My electricians were able to get it hooked up within hours. The generator rebuild took around a month. I had another that wasn't quite as critical hydro lock as well. It was a smaller in line 6 cylinder. The exhaust on it ran uderground to a well filled with rock to discharge any water that got in the well. Over time the well silted up and during a rainstorm water backed up through the exhaust and filled the engine.
It’s always a great day with another post from Marty!!
love it when u get lucky Marty, could just as easily been a pile of scrap, nice one.
Watching your son and dog run for their lives made my evening 😂. Another great video.
Hi Marty, good to see the daughter coming out and supervising you. Sure you’re doing the right thing I don’t know where the managing director is. He’s not there today must be playing. Keep up the good work. Love your Videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
I've had a B7100 like this for a few years, bought it off a bloke on the Banks Peninsula for the price of the Fieldmaster Sabre hanging off the back. Very similar front blade setup to yours, which was a NZ factory option with the backhoe kit. They like a really good glow but are easy to start even with a cooked battery due to the decompression knob on the dash. For a tiny 750cc 3 banger it works hard and you really have to try to get it to quit.
One thing to look at would be the tyre diameters, those front turfs look pretty big in comparison to the rears, which could be contributing to the transfer case issues?
good little runner there man!
The kids with the balloon! that was so cute!
Lucky those little Kubota engines are John Wick! Those mini tractors still go for huge money in good order.
I've had a turning brake drag on one and I thought reverse had gone so you might be lucky there too.
At first sight I was thinking you where having a snow blower in the back. After I realized it didn’t make sense. I’m following you since a long time, I know you don’t have snow…
All I have to say is that David Brown is purring really good and you got a good little tractor there solved the no start issue really fast and then blew up some balloons for the kiddos 😂
Also running the tractor to hear and see how the transmission is running.
That first balloon floated to Great Thronburg HOW DARE YOU 😂
Oh good. another tractor. You can never have enough.. apparently 😆
Good job, Marty. Thanks for leaving me with a smile from your daughter's laughter at the balloon. I'm looking forward to seeing the damage in the gearbox being repaired.
