My gearbox failed on my mid mount mower. It's an RC60-24B. I found a gearbox off a RCK60-24B. Would the RCK box fit on the RC? Also, if anyone has one of those decks for sale near Iowa, I would be interested. Also interested in a gearbox.

I currently have a B1700 but I want something newer. I had a problem with my bi-speed which I couldn’t figure out but I eventually did. Before I tell you guys the price, I want you to guess. It’s extremely clean. What would you say my 1997 B1700 HST 4WD is worth? It is a 2 owner machine and has...

I'm looking to buy a different tractor and I'm really looking for something that is reliable. In your opinion, what year/model is the most reliable? I really like this 2009 B2620 4wd with 250 hours that is for sale. What do you guys think, how much is it worth? Its in excellent condition and a...

I’m not the most knowledgeable with diff stuff but you guys get the point.

Yea. Could it be in the shift fork? I can turn the axle but the other side turns the opposite way so I don’t think the pinion gear is seized.

I had my son hold the one wheel and I tried to turn the other wheel, I could not get the wheel to spin.

They only lock up when you try and roll both wheels in the same direction at the same time.

I just got done replacing the pivot seals and re-sealing the bi-speed box. I started it up today for the first time, put it in drive and I feel a bind coming from the front end. The front wheels would just lock up. Just to double check, I jacked the rear up and gave it throttle, rear wheels spun...

I just got done replacing my pivot seals on my B1700 and I just resassebled the Bi-Speed case. I used permatex anarobic gasket maker on the gasket surfaces. I didn't use the activator and everything is still wet on it. It will not dry for the life of me and everyone claims oxygen cannot be...

I'm trying to remove the front axle on my b1700 to fix the leaking pivot seal but the axle won't seperate from the bi-speed turn box. Does the bi-speed come off the tractor or can I leave it on?

Ok. I was unsure if that was the correct piece because every video I've seen they mount the spool valve on the rear. Where would I hook the spool valve up to?

I will only have it front mounted. If I run a kubota snowblower, what hydraulic equipment will I need? I don't have a spot for the snowblowers hydraulic hoses to hook up and I don't have anything to control it.

I want to start using my B1700 for snow removal. Does anyone make a plow for it? I'd consider a snowblower as well. Also how do I hook them up because I don't have a spot for hooking up hydraulic hoses for an attachment.

I got the hydraulic line off I now need to fix the fuel tank. Any thoughts??

I went to replace my hydraulic line and its being a real pain to get off. I've removed the forward and reverse pedal and the brake pedal and it still won't come. So I pulled on it and it pulled a fuel line off the top front of tank. That fuel line was already leaking but it now came off. Do I...
