Mini 4x4 Kubota Tractor with Major Issues.. Can We Bring It Back to Life?

- 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.
Love the feathered apprentices wandering under the tractor.
Haha yeah they are characters
just hearing your child's delightful, tinkling laughter makes this vid a 10
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...........
✌️😁
@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 😂
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.
Sweet tractor, please take us along on the transmission repair.
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.
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.
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.
Great games you play with your kids.
You can definitely verify your chickens are free range.
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.
We can't, but Mark can. 😄
Awesome, sometimes you get lucky, that was a real cool trick with the balloons at the end.
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!
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
The birdsongs in the background of your videos are amazing.
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
Those squeals of laughter are priceless!
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
G,day Marty T from Sydney Australia.
Great advice from your son: "turn it off". I like your new small tractor, very handy.
🇭🇲🌏
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.
Marty, the dad. So lovely. Thanks mate. So wonderful. Your family is so beautiful. Heartfelt. Cheers.
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.
nice job, as soon as I saw the exhaust extension I knew it was hydro locked.
I enjoy watching you fix the problems but also listening to the birds you have in the area.
kid laughing with enjoyment at the end was great,,,,
Great place for kids to grow up. Their friends will love coming up there!
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!
My heart sank when I seen that water come out of the exhaust.but good job another cracking little tractor saved
They roll over quite easily due to the narrow rear end, best to make an anti roll bar, take care Marty 👍
Marty T is the National Treasure of New Zealand!!! Marty T should be teaching and passing on his knowledge to future Mancanics!!!
Another magic fix. Way to go Marty. Kids loved those balloons mate, was waiting for the ear shattering kaboom. 🤣
What a lucky little tractor.
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!
another great one from a great Dad ☺️, loved the balloon trick, I know your kids are happy.
21:40 The sound of happiness !!!!!!!!!!!
Even your chicken seems fascinated! Great video :)
best dad of the year goes to you marty
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.
The two things I like most about your videos are the kids and the birds singing.
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.
MARTY T. you are a master at reviving those old machinery. thank you for your videos. GERRY G. from canada.
2:16 The one arm(horse)power tractor going in reverse! 😂
✅ ~ the importance of putting a tin, cowl or flapper on a vertical exhaust pipe, a small flapper would look great on that 😉
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
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 came to you again outside here is indoor weather 0 celcius ans storm, my day is saved!!
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.
love it when u get lucky Marty, could just as easily been a pile of scrap, nice one.
Hard to believe the rings didn't rust solid to the cylinder walls. You got lucky my friend.
One more top quality vid from Marty again.
G'day mate.
I had to laugh when you started up the tractor. Frightened shit out of the chook.😂
I think a certain little girl thinks "This a good size tractor for me dad"😊
As soon as I saw the vertical exhaust pipe, I called it.
The bird life in the background sounds amazing
Watching your son and dog run for their lives made my evening 😂. Another great video.
Awesome ending to a great video 👍 Well done Marty; mechanic and father/teacher. Kids don't forget these moments of fun/learning-something made clear by the genuine laughter we heard. At 65 and a father of three, I look in hindsight [now], to the most valuable lesson-knowing Christ vs knowing about Him. God bless.
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 😂
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.
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!
I learned to drive a tractor as a kid on one of these. Great little machines.
That’s the best ending to a CZcams video that I have ever seen !!
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.
Those three cylinder Kubotas are pretty bombproof. They are used to run the refrigeration units on the big tractor trailers.
Another lucky find..You seem to find all the abandoned tractors and bring them back to life..Good job Marty and videos entertaining.. Steve S.Coast NSW.
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
Keep it coming marty
Goodness, i LOVE these old mini Kubotas! Please continue with more on this little bugger!
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?
Those are great little tractors , had one for many years, a B6100D with a front loader, used it in the horse barn and arena, could drive through a 4 ft door in the bard and had a back blade, and harrow for the arena and pulled a dump trailer for barn leaning, wish I still had i as I traded it up for a larger tractor, always ran great kept clean fuel in it changed oil regulary wished I had it now !!!
I love seeing the chickens in your videos. They seem very frienldy :) maybe you can make a video about them one day, how you keep them and stuff? cheers
I love this little rig it's weighted up just right it won't do anything crazy or fast but with a skilled patient operator there's not a lot it can't do
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.
I have been watching your videos for a few years now mister Marty. You are a wizard! Never stop amaze me! ...These 'Will it run?' videos are a tad misleading though, don't you think? The real question is - 'Will the Mrs accept the new family member?' All the best from Sweden!
Marty has one heck of a nack for finding other people's cast offs and getting them operational again.
That's one really nice tractor.
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.
Loved that last bit with the hot air balloon.
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 🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
Looks like one of those Japanese 1/2 or 1/3 scale farm vehicles used on their small holdings, great Tonka toys... 👍👏😻
No wiggle-a-wire repair for you this time! The ending was great, my friend, well done to you! 👍
Marty is the engine whisperer, so of course it was brought back to life!
15:00 the boss is there making sure you properly fix her tractor hehehe
That balloon at the end was great!
That will be a great addition to Marty Island.
Love watching these videos with my kids. Thanks for all the work you do making them.
It’s always a great day with another post from Marty!!
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!
Marty......... i could watch your videos for hours.....Thankyou
Hey buddy... It's nice to watch your videos... We look forward to the second part of this little ....
Greetings from Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱💪💪💪💪
Those 1970 models sell for good money here in the states. They are very hard to find. Great video, as always. I never thought of my tractor as a ballon inflation device, lol 😆
These Kubota's are borderline indestructible.
Kubota guy, fascinated with your land down under/grey market Kubota's. Congratulations on the tiller.
Love the balloon clip at the end… and the tractor part was good too 😊 … thanks Marty!
Amazing that you do all this without a proper workshop!! You are my hero!!
Looking forward to your rebuild of this little tractor unit..
Top notch mechanical knowledge to bring back life to a severely abused machine.
Marty the Magician works his magic, again.
Great watch, keep it up. I watch you from New Zealand, Curtis from Cutting edge engineering in OZ, mustie1 from the US and Alan Millard from here in the England. Better than anything on the telly.
YEP 👍! Watch those and others! They all have the *GIFT* of production!! It's a lot of work!
I've tried to make videos people watch the whole thing, but most of them click off in s minute or two. 😢
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.
