    I broke a gear

    I didnt actually get off the tractor, I stood up so I could lift the hood and read the oil pressure gauge I had just installed. This is the first tractor I've operated that doesn't have either a 2 stage clutch or push button PTO, so disengaging the PTO wasnt on my mind and I forgot that it had...

    B6000 tyres

    I have a B6000 4wd and I need to get 1 new front tyre. The front tyres are 5-12 and the rears are 7-14. What has me puzzled is that the service manual states 6-12 and 7-16 for fronts and rears, respectfully. Does this sound right? I cant find any info on rolling circumference to calculate if...
