Kubota B6100, B7100 - HST Transmission
Kubota B6100HST, B7100HST tractors are equipped with a hydrostatic
transmission.
Kubota B6100, B7100 Hydrostatic Transmission -
Operation
Engine power is transferred to the input shaft (7) which drives the
trochoid rotor assembly (5) and variable displacement piston pump (24).
Trochoid rotor assembly (5) is located in charge pump case (6) and is
used to supply low pressure oil to the charge system. Cylinder block
(27) within the variable displacement piston pump (24) is rotated
against variable swashplate (29) surface. If the swashplate is moved in
the forward or reverse direction, oil will be pumped to the fixed
displacement piston motor (21) to turn the output shaft (19). The higher
the volume of oil the faster the output shaft will turn. Volume of oil
is controlled by the variable swashplate degree of tilt. Fluid direction
and pressure regulation is governed by valves contained within the
circuits.
Pressure Test
Pressure tests may be performed after removing hydrostatic transmission
protective cover as follows: Remove speed control knob, left and right
hood latch, front and rear mounting cap screws, then withdraw cover.
Case Pressure
Remove plug from port and install a low pressure gage. Position high-low
gear shift and speed control pedal in neutral. Engage parking brake,
then .run engine at 2800 rpm. Recommended reading is 165.6-220.8 kPa
(24-32 psi) with an allowable limit of 144.9-248.4 kPa (21-36 psi). Low
case pressure could cause transmission overheating, resulting from oil
not being circulated to oil cooler. A high pressure reading could
indicate that the pipe to the oil cooler or the oil cooler itself is
clogged, which could cause oil seal damage.
Charge Pressure
Prior to charge pressure testing, check case pressure as outlined in
previous section. To check charge pressure, remove plug from port and
install a low pressure gage. Position high-low gear shift and speed
control pedal in neutral. Engage parking brake, then run engine at 2800
rpm. To calculate correct charge pressure, deduct case pressure reading
from measured charge pressure. Recommended reading is 441.6-579.6 kPa
(64-84 psi) with an allowable limit of 414-607.2 kPa (60-88 psi). Low
pressure could cause a lack of power or noise and vibration.
High Relief Pressure (Forward or Reverse)
Remove plug from port to test forward circuit or port to test reverse
circuit. Install a high pressure gage that will read at least 27.6 MPa
(4000 psi). Start engine and allow transmission fluid to warm up to
operating temperature. Engage parking brake, then set engine speed at
2800 rpm. Depress speed control pedal approximately 10 mm (25/64-inch)
in direction of circuit being tested (forward or reverse). Record gage
reading as quickly as possible. Depressing speed control pedal more than
10 mm (25/64-inch) will give an incorrect high reading. DO NOT hold
speed control pedal down longer than 10 seconds. Recommended high relief
pressure is 21.6-25.5 MPa (3130-3700 psi).
Vacuum
Remove plug from port and install a vacuum gage with maximum capability
of 762 mm Hg (30 in. Hg). Engage parking brake, then run engine at 2800
rpm. Recommended maximum vacuum gage readings are as follows; readings
will vary according to oil temperature: Oil Temperature / Gage Reading -
30C (86F) / 120 mm Hg (4.7 in. Hg), 50C (122F) / 60 mm Hg (2.4 in. Hg),
80C (176F) / 35 mm Hg (1.4 in. Hg). A high vacuum reading indicates
incorrect oil type or a clogged strainer. A fluctuating reading
indicates a faulty or loose connection on the suction side.
Kubota B6100, B7100 Tractor - HST Linkage
Operation
Neutral holder (5) is connected to transmission trunnion shaft which
controls the angle of variable swashplate. Neutral holder (5) is
connected to rod guide (3) via speed control rod (4). Depressing pedal
(9) causes rod guide (3) to rotate. Forward travel speed may be set by
engaging speed control linkage (1, 2 and 11 through 15). Speed control
linkage must be disengaged manually. Neutral adjuster (6) is used to
correctly position needle bearing (7) in center position of neutral
holder (5) when pedal (9) or speed control linkage is released, thus
placing transmission in neutral position. Spring (25) is used to return
neutral holder arm (8). Damper (10) slows pedal return rate to prevent
tractor from stopping too quickly and to prevent transmission damage due
to fast pedal direction change over.
Adjustment
Before performing adjustments, be sure mechanism moves freely without
binding. Dirt, grit or other foreign material may cause false adjustment
settings. To adjust neutral position proceed as follows: Place selector
lever in two-wheel drive, raise rear wheels off the ground, then start
engine and set engine speed at low idle. Loosen cap screw and turn slot
(18) counterclockwise so the rear wheels rotate in forward direction.
Turn slot (18) clockwise until the rear wheels completely stop.
Mark position (X) of slot (18) on clutch housing (17) where rear wheel
rotation stopped. Continue to turn slot (18) clockwise until the rear
wheels rotate in the reverse direction, then turn slot (18) in
counterclockwise direction until rear wheels completely stop. Mark
position (Y) of slot (18) on clutch housing (17) where rear wheel
rotation stopped. Position neutral adjuster (6) so slot (18) is centered
between marks X and Y, then tighten cap screw (16) to 19-32 Nm (14-24
ft-lbs.) torque while securely holding slot (18) in position. After
lowering rear wheels, check that wheels stop automatically after
forward-reverse pedal is released from either direction. If the wheels
continue to turn in the forward direction, turn slot (18) clockwise in
small increments. If the wheels continue to turn in the reverse
direction, turn slot (18) counterclockwise in small increments. Continue
adjustment procedure until neutral position is obtained when pedal is
released from both directions. If true neutral position cannot be found
by adjustment procedure, move neutral holder arm by hand to determine if
true neutral position can be obtained. If neutral cannot be found,
problem may be located in the neutral valve.
To adjust forward speed control components proceed as follows: Loosen
locknut (12) and turn turn-buckle (13) until dimension (D) is 6-8 mm
(15/64-5/16 inch), then retighten locknut (12). Loosen locknut (37) and
turn adjuster nut (39) to adjust tension on spring (38) until force
required to operate lever (1) in R direction is 25-30 N (5.5-6.6 lbs.),
then retighten locknut (37).
If excessive play is noted in lever, adjust as follows: Loosen screw
(34) and reposition retainer plate (33) until play is reduced and head
of bolt (32) does not rotate when lever (1) is operated. After
installing cover (35), place lever (1) in position L, then depress
reverse side of speed control pedal. Observe linkage to make sure that
cam (15) does not contact lever (1).
