    B2601 Coolant temperature gauge reading?

    I understand that diesels naturally run cooler and requires a longer run time to reach normal operating temp to burn off any moisture / condensation from oil and internal parts when being operated in colder outdoor temps. This is true for gasoline engines also but does not require as much run...

    B2601 Coolant temperature gauge reading?

    I normally let it warm up at idle for a few minutes and when doing light work keep rpms 1500 - 2000 rpms. When cooler weather sets in I let it idle instead of shutting it off when I am off the tractor. I will try the blocking of air in slow increments to see if I can find the proper amount.

This took about 60 minutes and I noticed the temperature gauge was barely off the cold mark. During...

    Visible O-ring on hydraulic cylinder

    I may be mistaken but I believe that o ring is installed to protect the outward seal on the cylinder from paint when the cylinder is painted after repair.

    Backhoe thumb

    If you read the complete description on their site I believe it states which thumb fits what bucket, it has to do with the the number of teeth and width of your bucket. If I remember correctly the long thumb will contact the teeth on certain buckets instead of interlacing with the teeth.

    Cautioning your Family about Operations

    I installed two rear view mirrors and a back up alarm on my B2601 with BH, the mirrors help me and the alarm warns others. I have also instructed the wife not to approach from behind on any equipment I am operating. However I know that I am solely responsible for others safety.

    New B2601 minor scare

    If the tractor has the HST (hydrostat) transmission then yes it will bring the tractor to a stop on level ground or a slight hill, it will definately slow you down considerably on a steep hill but braking lightly will also assist in stopping.

    New B2601 minor scare

    You should be in 4 wheel drive, let off the pedal slowly and use the brakes only if needed to come to a full stop. It also depends on how steep and wetness of grass if any.

    Bro-Tec wheel spacers.

    The BX takes a completely different type of spacer than the B2601 series. To my knowledge there are no truck /jeep type spacers that will fit the B series tractor.
