Good point that I forgot to mention. I replaced bushing 110 as well.

I certainly would not allow a new, expensive machine, extensive electronics or otherwise, to sit outside.

Not uncommon. My B1750 had the same problem. Eventually, I was able to get it to clear but only slightly. IIRC, the replacement service spring has a small piece of rubber hose inside to damp out vibrations, lessening the problem. Might want to inspect/change the pedal dampener as well.

I grease all of mine yearly upon mower removal in the fall.

AC device is intended to allow operator to squeeze it open to allow larger bits of debris to be removed from the cannister. Instructions for changing oil in front axle should be in Operator's Manual. If not, will be in WSM.

I've always changed engine oil and filter yearly regardless of operating hours. I do it in the fall after last use on seasonally used equipment.

Dealers do not like to do this. The much prefer to sell something off their lot or find a suitable tractor at another dealer and trade for it. Be advised, that dealers will try to find something that has been sitting on another dealers lot for some time. Such equipment may well have aged...

Obviously, something was wrong causing your belt to fail. FWIW, after about 20 years, I changed the belt on the 60" MMM on my 1994 B1750 about 10-12 years ago. It did not need replacement at the time but I needed to remove it to replace a failed spindle bearing and replaced it while replacing...

I always used cast weights rather than liquid ballast for multiple reasons. I had both cast centers and two Kubota cast weights on each side of the M9960 that I once owned (same weights as a M4). Expensive but turnkey. FWIW, North States makes cast weights for Kubota and others and sells to...

Finding a front mounted snow blade to fit your vintage 6100 will be difficult unless you have a FEL.

You might be able to do light maintenance of existing ditches with such a blade and your 2620 but you will not be able to excavate new ditches with either tractor or blade.

FWIW, my B1750HST, bought new in 1994, has about 675 hours on the clock. Aside from yearly oil and filter changes, periodic HST oil and filter changes, periodic fuel filter changes, routine coolant changes, a couple of front axle and final drive lube changes, and routine lubrication, I have...

I cannot imagine downgrading from a 1025R to a BX anything. For starters, the 1025 has proper position control whereas the BX tractors have a quarter inching valve. You will not like the quarter inching valve. Lack of position control is an absolute show stopper for me.

Verify that the B2601 has position control (I cannot remember). BX series tractors do not but most (all?) B series tractors do. Lack of position control is a show stopper for me. You do not want a BX type quarter inching valve.

Neither wider nor heavier than the recommendations in the Operator's Manual.
