You aren’t missing anything not having the ivy. Back in the 8th grade, we were studying plants, including poison ivy. Our teacher told us the big hairy vine type only lived on the west coast and she was glad it wasn’t in our area because she was highly allergic. It was abundant in the trees on...

If you have to quickly flip the seat forward as you exit the operator station, suggest you engage the PTO after you’ve exited and flipped the seat forward if at all possible. I have to flip the seat forward on mine. If I had to exit the operator station with the PTO engaged and flip the seat...

I was taught with any implement that has significant inertia (rotary cutters, old style square balers with flywheels, chippers, etc.) procedure for a normal (non-emergency) PTO stop on a tractor with PTO brake and built in over run is: Idle the engine to lowest RPM Wait for the implement/PTO...

This is the instruction from the B2601 operator manual. It doesn’t say anything about flipping the seat forward. Some other models, such as my L, do require that. Both the Owner Manual and Workshop Manual are available here...

One of my ex-coworkers sent me this today as a reminder of the managers meeting we were in where one of the topics was team building exercises. I thought it was stupid and no one had any suggestions, so I suggested a day of nostalgic children’s playground games: sack races, spoon races, egg...

How do you know a K5651-34372 isn’t left hand thread?

According to TractorData (which isn’t 100% correct all the time and you’re in the UK so maybe have something a bit different) the 60” deck for the B2410 is a RCK60-24B. The part number you listed, K5651-34370, when searched at Messick’s shows that part number is obsolete and has been superseded...

Gee whiz! Could be! 🤣

Drive belt broke on mine a few days ago at 75 hours. Took much longer than I preferred to replace. Mowed with it for about an hour yesterday and all seemed to be good. I do still like the mower, but that belt replacement is crazy; possibly because I’m more familiar with drive belts that are you...
