Kubota B6000

Anonymous-0 · Jan 2, 2014

We have spent every cent we own to buy our 40ac property. I was sold an old Kuota B6000 to do some much needed slashing, however I was not told it had no water pump and needed constant water added and yes I have cracked the head. I only paid $1000 for the tractor and it is going to cost me $1500 to get a new head from US. A mate reckons someone would be able to mend it????? Please let me know any ideas on fixing the head or a second hand one as I can't find anything and so can't afford a new one yet, cheers Ian. Please feel free to ring me if you can help 0403050408 or text and I will ring you back, I am in Queensland Australia...

I took a quick look around the old interweb and saw several tractor salvage shops in the US. I know freight will be high, but still be less than buying new.

Many years ago, there was a repair procedure some of the rebuilders used that involved drilling and shallow taping a hole in the crack, then screwing in a bolt till it twisted off. Grind it down and drill another hole about 2/3 overlap, and repeat, keep doing this until the entire crack is filled. Machine and press in an oversize seat, and maybe 50/50 chance it will work... I never did it, just saw where it had been done. Longshot, maybe there is an old school machine shop that can help you out.

hi, if you haven't ripped it apart yet and it's not leaking much. you could try and hit it with a bottle of irontite or waterglass. at the very least it might buy you some time.
