Cross-posting from my post here: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showpost.php?p=305176&postcount=17 Am hoping some of the wise folks who have commented on this thread can confirm the short hose from the thermostat housing to the water pump is the thermostat bypass, and can confirm...

UPDATE... The thermostat housing on our B7510 does not have a threaded port on it. It has a deeply machined hole in it which bottoms out. Bummer as I really don't want to get into machining this housing myself. With this in mind, and after consulting this thread...

With a pair of B7510's and a B2410, I can honestly say that I've looked at the BX and just couldn't buy one. Not enough tractor for me in every respect. In fact when I was buying the B2410 the dealer had a BX sitting right beside it - both used, the B2410 with 2500hrs on it, the BX with less...

Thanks for your follow-up post, Firefox. You've given me hope that the "standard" pickoff points for hot water on the engine will work. Yours is a long run, going up the back corner of the cab, but that run also prevents the hose from having any short, sharp low points. I'll give some more...

Excuse me for sayin'... This line frustrates the daylights out of me. Here we are in 2018 and we see automotive garages and farm equipment dealerships still pulling this "oh it's a woman, she won't understand" nonsense. Grrrrrrr! Makes me a very angry fellow. Just for the record, if I...

I was caught out recently when my father engaged the parking brake. Tractor didn't go fast at all, then started to smell funny... DOH!!!!!!

Thanks for the continuing flow of good ideas, folks. In this instance the O.D. is as important as the I.D. since the hose has to run down the inside of the front cab posts. I took a few minutes to check out the hose installed by the cab's OEM - it's pretty generic stuff, reinforced PVC, but it...

In support of Ironman2's statement, firstly I offer my condolences to you for having a -5C day so early in October. We've only had a couple of frosts so far here in Ottawa, so I don't envy you the cold and snow you've had so far this fall. With respect to pan heaters, this is the standard...

Orange is addictive. Just sayin'! Warn your wife that this likely won't be the only orange implement that ends up at your place. I started with just one, now have three, and can still see a zero-turn mower in my future!

In the case of our cab, the OEM hose runs up the front door posts inside the 1"x2" steel tube frame. Makes small outside diameter hose a necessity. What has been used by the OEM is stuff that looks like this...

I'll second Torch's comments. If I have the luxury of time I'll plug the tractors in before starting at temps below freezing. Below -10C no attempt to start is made without preheating. I've discovered that a kerosene or propane salamander-style heater aimed from the front of the tractor...

Now that I've thought about it for a second or two I think I should ask if there's a "best" place to plumb in the coolant returning from the heater? I have only seen the supply side attached up on top of the engine at what I believe to be the thermostat housing (labelled Fig 0500 in the drawing...

Wow, Wolfman, I would never have thought of that Prius pump. It looks like a real champ! Thanks for the suggestion, and the pickoff point suggestion. I'll stand by for more info if you can share it, Firefox. Between the two of you I'm getting a really good feeling that this ceiling mounted...

I've acquired an aftermarket cab, originally designed for another tractor, and am modifying it to fit our B7510. This cab came with a heater which is mounted up in a ceiling panel behind the bank of switches which control not only the heater but lights and the windshield wiper and windshield...

Wow, and to think of the 400 acres I worked with 35hp... :D

There are several threads here talking about moisture in the valve causing corrosion of the spring ball assembly as the cause of loss of float function. "Search" is your friend! LoL

Which blower is it that you're looking at at Northern Tool? Would be interested to see what you get for $1500. BTW I've purchased a B2771 and front mount / harness for one of my B7510 tractors. I can say with certainty that, some cutting/welding/drilling skills would be required to adapt this...

As my signature line attests, i have three B-series tractors. Each one shifts differently, wither that shifting be from 2wd to 4wd or HST range selection. As earlier posts have mentioned, one just has to find the "sweet spot" and shift the way your tractor likes it. My biggest beef is that...

Can't speak to current Honda products. Owned both the first and second gen CRV's. Bought the first gen brand new in 2000, finally sold it in 2012. Best vehicle I ever owned. Period. Put four good snow tires on it and it was unbeatable in snow. Oh, BTW, it was a 5-speed tranny - don't know...

Clear a code? Wow, am I ever glad I'm running older technology where such things are unheard of. Sounds very painful and expensive.
