I was going to reply something similar. Like "How did we survive early adulthood?" Yes, I also remember drafting semi's on the turnpike or interstate on my bikes...and worse...passing between two semi's that were passing each other, passing between them of course! Without getting into more...

The major problem I had with the treadle pedal on my B2910, when I bought it 22 years ago and used it a lot in the first year, was that I developed problems backing up my Ford E350 van... Damn van would not back up when I pushed on the floor with my right heel! I kept having to remember to move...

My gut was telling me what Mark has calculated. Interesting discussion. I assume the calculation, that an inch difference to tubing length would add a 0.24 positive difference to timing, is accurate. My guess is a fabricator could cut that length difference to less than a half inch without much...

Still not high enough! :oops: A 16 footer on the tip would probably be enough...

I think this is a key question. Had you been the only owner of the tractor, likely not to be expected the way your photos show. BUT, you are not the only owner, and when buying used, you never know for sure what you are getting. All you know for sure is what you see when you have a problem is...

I am in the same boat I think. BUT more due to age than physical ability, I would like to think. Yea, right... I need to change the rear brake pads on my Subaru. But of course, the technology today makes a simple chore more complicated that it should be, or needs to be. After seeing what was...

I guess I was focused on the original question. I totally missed the reference to the BX25 at the end of the OP's post...insert red face here...

No doubt about that. Also the shape of the tubing can make a difference. More bends, more resistance to flow, and more delay I would expect. That would probably be a much greater worry than length, if the tubing was not bent to match the original tubing. But I keep wondering how much a 5...

LOL...I think the Wolfman was the first to bring up the BX25 in post 4 of this thead... that confused me as well... ;)

Well, the amount a liquid can be compressed is VERY small. But I would think the limit of pressure felt by the fuel would be set by the pressure at which the injectors pop open. Probably much lower than 32,000 PSI. Just a guess though. So I can understand the theoretical reasons why a coil of...

Not disputing this, but what is the theory behind this? I mean, diesel fuel being a liquid is probably considered not compressible, so why would the length have to be EXACTLY the same for the original and the replacement? My gut wants to think that close to being the same would be enough in...

The “B series” was something that I was certain never to attain when I was in high school because of a certain lack of interest, not that I was stupid I suppose. it was probably due to age, if nothing else… So with respect to both a B and a BX, at the end of the day, I think it’s just a matter...

That is certainly true. BUT not just on this forum, but actually in the universe. If I were the OP, I would certainly repent in ways I can't even think to describe. Ways I can't even imagine, since such an offense to tractor operation is unheard of and absolutely unforgivable. Certainly I never...

No clue. But what was the top RPM of the original engine. How does that compare to say 3000 RPM. Original engine probably higher, so what is the ratio? Multiply the previous top speed by the ratio, and it should show what the reduced top speed would be.

I think it is more of a gear ratio consideration. The diesel may be designed to run at 2500 to 3000 rpm max. Would this be a concern as far as speed goes after you put the engine in? Engine RPM limit seems to be the real issue...

Thanks for taking the time for posting that photo. I don’t believe there’s a rod like that on either of my tractors, the BX 2200 or the B 2910.

Enjoy the visit! If you did not have medical insurance would they pay for the visit as well I wonder?

Not sure what a "speed set rod" is, but glad the story has a happy ending. Tangent time now? I am wondering how a sheriff could come to your home an forcibly take you anywhere without placing you under arrest. Is this possible? Maybe he will be offering a free taxi ride? If it were me and I...

Is a wrath cable what we would call a jumper cable here in the USA? I assume so. Is this a common term in New Zealand?

Funny, but at some point in my career in heavy industry involved with solving issues with relatively complex control systems, I realized that it is possible to solve control issues without totally understanding the system one is troubleshooting. By simply applying common sense! This was a...
