torch replied to the thread BX owners, chime in.It's all about leverage more than specific weight. Let us say that a particular tractor has a 5' wheelbase and that the loader CoG is... -
torch replied to the thread Hydraulics are too fast, or Im too slow.1. Idle down, especially when lowering (looks like you are doing that already). 2. Use two hands on the control and one direction at a...

torch replied to the thread BX owners, chime in.It gets worse. All that weight is now on the axle that pivots from side to side. Unless the tractor somehow magically stays balanced...

torch replied to the thread B7800 front axle ball bearing question.Hard to argue with an approach known to work in that application. But I do note step 4 is "Tap out the axle", which to me implies an...

torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.Ooops. Sorry about that. I forgot they divvied up the B7100s that way. I was just thinking "older".
-
torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.Just for fun and giggles, I investigated my B7100 (1994 version) exhaust manifold temperatures with a TIC. I set it to °F for...

torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.Look on tractordata.com and scroll down to "Serial Numbers".

torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.That argues the camshaft is not worn. Intake opens 8° after spec. Intake closes 6° before spec. Exhaust opens 13° after spec. Exhaust...

torch replied to the thread B7800 front axle ball bearing question.Neat chart. I wasn't aware they had a product that would fill a 20 thou gap! That must be a diameter measurement, not radius, right?
-
torch replied to the thread B7800 front axle ball bearing question.It doesn't. The calibration is really only an issue if comparing to a published spec or value or if using two different instruments...

torch replied to the thread Front loader for a B7200.Very nice work! I'm not sure bracing the tops of the towers is necessary -- you have them very well braced at the bottom. They do look...
-
torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.FWIW: The B7100 WSM says crank it with the starter at 200 to 250rpm for 5 to 10 seconds. That's a range of 8 to 21 compression strokes...
-
torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.Don't mistake volume for pressure. Pressure only increases when volume is restricted and the discharge can be calculated by Q=K(P^-2)...

torch replied to the thread B7100 Piston Installation.There are Schrader valves and then there are Schrader valves. Well, different valve cores anyway. Compression testers should be fitted...

torch replied to the thread B7800 front axle ball bearing question.I was being facetious. The right bearing was a sliding fit but the left bearing is smaller.
