New To Me B6000E & B6000D w/Loader

[poconoguy17]

Never seen a B219 that would lift the front end with down pressure, but it should lift it with the curl function.

After a few flushes of the hydro and correct fill It has no issue lifting the front, granted not very high but a foot is enough to back drag the driveway .

Cool. Mine will lift with enough down pressure to back drag, but not a foot. But mine undoubtably weighs a lot more than yours- bigger tractor, bigger engine, PTB, front wheel weights, etc.
Maybe I should consider lightening mine.

Yep you def have a bit more weight! But hey... I am a sport and will take one for the team.... I'll give ya an even trade so you too can flex with the loader lifting the front.. no... don't thank me.... it's what I do lmao

Your screen was cleaner than mine- couldn't even see the screen material before cleaning.

Here is a couple of pictures View attachment 45881 View attachment 45882 of my 6000DT. I have a belly mower but they are a pain. I have Woods RM48 but I have a reverser for the PTO. By the way the PTO turns counterclock wise on B6000. Woods did make a RM48 for the counter clockwise PTO. I saw one on Craigslist several months ago. You are somewhat close to me and if I remember it was up your way. By the way, get the operating manual and the parts list. They are avaliable online to download. Feel free to ask questions. I had a B6000 since at least 1977. I would go with turf tires on grass. I use mine in a swampy field. Millers in Ohio has them.

What rear tires do you have on yours? I spin so bad with my bald truck tires and would rather use something like the ones you have (similar to the ones of my borrowed BX-25) which , when dry haven't torn up the lawn and offer'd great traction uphill.

They seem so much wider in your pics. My current on the B6000E are p235/75/16?

 

[Lil Foot]

That's the size that is stuck in my head, but I will verify sometime today.

Could just be the picture angle, but those 3 pt arms on the dt sure look long! That could be an advantage when carrying a counterweight for the loader, but might make interchange with the other one an issue. Are they the same?

I think its the angle and the dirt from before it was cleaned and painted. They are std cat 1 size

 

[Lil Foot]

You were right.
8-16 on rear, 6-12 on front.
The 7.50 - 16 size was what was on the tractor when I got it.

Hello, Nice finds.

For one that drives a B219 Loader it is on the right side of the tractor on a bracket off the flywheel pulley.

W/O loader the one that drives the trans is on the left side under the exhaust manifold.

Thanks I was interested in the location of the B219's set up. I do not have space for a belt driven Hydraulic compressor. Is it it he standard Cessna pump that sits on the front?

Yes it is... It's a small pump and fits nicely in there. I would imagine if you can fabricate (or have someone fab one) you could locate it elsewhere .
