Hello there, I just moved to Portugal and purchased this exact tractor. My question is the steering, there seems to be quite a bit of play....is there adjustment for this? Thanks in advance
Hello, if you have play in the steering between 10-30mm is within specification, if you have more than that there is an adjustment on the right side of the steering box, if still complete it should have a rubber cover over it and inside is an adjustment screw. Loosen the lock nut and turn the screw clockwise to make the play smaller then retighten the nut. Make sure you have play, without play parts can bind and cause damage. If you want here is a website with manuals, the B7001 is not covered but if you download the B6000 service manual and go to page 26-27 you can read about the adjustment, it is the same as B7001 procedure. kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/&AutoIndex=7babce9546e20688a5991e7f64062e7c
@Wilko Wow that was quick, I appreciate the fast response and actually mine is the B7000. But I will check on that and will update accordingly, this tractor is new to me and will probably be hitting you up for more issues as they arise...Thanks again and have a great Xmas a day a Happy New year to you and yours!
Pěkné super

No problem, the same adjustment procedure is used on the B5000, B6000, B7000 series. Also a nice Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
