    B6100 front loader hydraulic pump

    Another thread regarding similar situation. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b6100-front-end-loader-hydraulics.53115/ Since the pump appears to be attached to the front of the crankshaft a generic pump should be able to be retro fitted.

    Z725 mower shooting flames

    My zero turn has the same engine. I have always had to have the choke on to start from day one when new. Even when hot. Makes a loud noise for a second and then fires up. Choke is then immediately pushed in. This procedure was explained when new by the dealer. Have never had this in the past...

    Need help with grease fitting size on la 1154s loader

    Can't you just order #050 from the parts list. They should be all the same.

    Backhoe steel

    Have you considered using your loader instead of the bh. I frequently move a tandem trailer with just a ball on a small steel plate which in turn is bolted to the center hole on the loader cutting edge. Been doing this for years without issues. Very easy hook up and travel easily in either...

    Electrical question......

    And then they mandate child proof receptacles that you need a sledgehammer to help inserting a plug into. The world has gone nuts. Before I retired, they banned replacing clip in circuit breakers without first isolating the entire panel. Gave us lots of overtime as we had to wait until everyone...

    Propane question?

    I have been retired for some time but up here a gas fitter license includes both natural gas and propane. On an installation like that you would always replace the flex connector with a new one. Never heard of any difference between flex connectors for NG vs LP. The maximum pressure seen by...

    Lx2620 hst noise vs 2610

    The cab amplifies the HST sound on my LX2610 and if I had known the LX2620 was coming out, I would have likely waited for it. To hear the radio I have to have the volume turned up. I might start to wear hearing protection as well.

    Mower Chute Question

    Mine was immediately removed upon purchase as it would just get in the way going around trees etc. and have no stones but generally open fields to worry about. If around anything such as vehicles or buildings, I always discharge away from them. I am usually cutting longer grass in the fields...

    B219 front pump & FEL

    If you are good at fabrication you might be able to alter it a bit to have both mower and loader on at the same time. The b7200 that I had I made my own subframe that allowed the mower deck and loader to be on together. I had planned on adding an independent lift mechanism to lift the mower so...

    I think I overpaid

    You did good and forget what the neighbor said. I was talking to a distant relative that owns an excavation company last month. I told him that I had recently purchased a new Kubota and the first thing he says was " they are very expensive". He then proceeds to tell me of the cheap Chinese...

    If you please

    At least the mice will be happy. Maybe buy it in cans next if available.

    BX2380 - FEL Excavation Project - Possible or no?

    With regard to the tree stumps can you not just rent a stump grinder. You can grind away the entire stump while removing the spoils with your loader as you go. A backhoe also would certainly help as previously mentioned. I certainly could not live without a backhoe that I have had for 40 years...

    Bearings are seldom a problem sourcing. Just take the original to your local bearing supply such as BDI.

    BH92 creaking noise when moving the boom left to right not in and out

    I would look for loose bolts on the subframe as well as cracked welds. Try to narrow down where the noise is coming from. I assume this is new equipment.

    post hole digger recommendation for 3-point

    The attached link shows the exact same post hole digger that I have. I could not find a picture of mine. It has the ability of been adjusted vertically so that you have a perfectly aligned hole. After reaching the preset hole depth it triggers the winch that raises it out of the hole. It then...

    Need repair advice for cracked canopy

    It sure looks like plastic. If that was mine I would just use a good quality "super glue" made for plastic. I would probably have someone hold it together and put packing tape on the outside of the crack. Flip over to expose the underside and run the glue over the crack where it will seep into...

    Which rotary cutter

    I use a Stihl straight shaft trimmer with a regular 7 1/4" carbide blade on the end. I purchase them when on sale for usually $7 to $10 each. I drill out the center hole to one inch so it will fit the trimmer. With this I can cut up to about a 4" tree with going on both sides. I use this in...

    belt tension gauge for mower deck?

    The mower that came with my B7200 in 1985 and that I sold last year still unbelievably had the original factory belt. Since around 2005 I regularly cut around five acres with it until I bought my zero turn four years ago. Prior to that I used it on a 3/4 acre lot. The Ariens zero turn that I...

    belt tension gauge for mower deck?

    Proper oem type Kevlar belts are a must on these types of mowers as has been frequently discussed here. I tried regular "Gates" belts on mine and was lucky to get a year out of them. They just cannot handle the horsepower.
