    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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

    Especially with a 4 way dozer blade and rear pto takeoff.
    Can't wait to see an episode of him tearing down the tranny and rear end.
    Later one of him changing the engines rear main seal to fix that oil leak.
    Or maybe it's the oil pan leaking.
    Watching him figure that out would be a joy.

    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.

    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?

Transmission also gear box after put 80w90 in put some Lucas oil treatment to help out gears wearing down and hopefully clutch plus and bearings okay plus brakes too! Rad fluid think green antifreeze use too put 100 ml of 80w90 differential fluid in rad lube fins plus water pump bearings to plus clean head gasket water port jackets too get plug up even frost plugs !

    Excellent little machine. Have a two wheel drive with blade, tiller and flail working since 1972 or 3. Now as a log getter with a rear box. Easy for an elderly person to use and just drive around! Only had one clutch replaced too. Thanks for posting. Best from the UK

    It’s great to see the old kubota come back to life .

    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!

    I have a similar tractor. My exhaust rotted out so i cut it off at the elbow and rotated the elbow downward. No rain and i like the sound of the 15hp with no exhaust.

    Looking forward to your rebuild of this little tractor unit..
