As it turns out, a varmint had built a nest in exhaust, almost completely blocking it. It now starts fine! Thank you all!

I'm working long distance, he's in Maine, I'm in WV. Not sure he has a manual. Should it start with release open? Thank you, sorry for the lack of clarity.

It won't crank fast enough to start, problem has got increasingly worse.

Posting this for my brother. He has a 1982ish B5100E. Disclaimer: All info is through him to me, he is not tech savvy but pretty mechanical. When he cranks it with compression release closed, it turns very slowly. When open, it cranks fine. New starter, good battery, all wires and terminals...

You asked about other brands, I replied. I am sure WR long makes smaller blades as well.

I bought a WR Long blade with hydraulic angle and a poly edge. Very happy with the quality.

Trade it for an M62.:)

Just as a reference, the stroke on my thumb ram is 17". Bigger bh, yes.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to get a backhoe! ;)

I don't think tractors have titles.

Maybe take a look at Homestead Implements. I had their 72" Pinnacle series BB behind my L2501, pulled it with no problem unless I let it get full. Very good quality build.

I cannot use chains, asphalt drive. How do you know it wouldn't work? That is my question. Have you tried it? Been laughed at before, least of my worries.

I finally got off my lazy butt and am in the process of grooving my R4's. Naturally, I checked you tube university. One video I saw had a comment suggesting reversing tires, so just swapping sides. Any thoughts on this? I am looking for all the traction I can get in winter on my very steep...

I ran a 72" on my 2501 with no problem, unless I wasn't paying attention.

I found this video very helpful when I got my box blade. Best of Luck!
