We’re not dogging on you, you’re already past the hardest part which is jumping in! I just don’t want you to have a surprise structural issue at an inopportune time when using the loader. One thing you might consider.. if you are welding a thickness of metal that is near the limit of your...

RBsingl covered it, but im going to add a (hopefully) somewhat lower-level, simpler explanation. Modern cars are far more tightly emissions regulated than the vast majority of diesel engines in history were, or are currently. A major part of what is controlled is 'crankcase emissions', ie...

I also have an old L210 that has that system.. not that too many people have L210s at this point.. On the ones i have been around (6100s and 7100s) there is an odd behavior that sometimes when first engaging the lift handle it seems to squeal the relief immediately without moving, and you...

I have a temp sensor on my upper radiator hose outlet and it only hits 180+ under heavy load for several minutes straight. It will NEVER hit 200 if idling or lightly loaded. It seems like you have a combustion leak into the cooling system. The fluid level rising and lowering is probably...

If you post a pic im sure someone could give a good suggestion on that. My gear trans 7100 has the overrunning clutch but i have never checked or noticed whether my b6100 does. I'd be curious to know if the factory parts to convert to 'internal' overrunning clutch are cheap, but i KNOW the...

I think you should work on the welding technique before any of this stuff gets 'buried' where it would be hard to go over it. It looks to me like you are doing a lot of sort of 'heavy tacks' but almost no continuous beads. It's very unlikely you are getting the parts hot enough to properly bond...

^ Cool project! I can't remember my exact front tire size (10" wheel) but i believe it is a 22" diameter, and it's an ATV tire. On the rear i went from 29x12.5x15 to 31x13.5x15 after much deliberation. I was originally considering 31x15.5x15 and somewhat wish i had gone that way. I like the...

Yeah 4x100 is basically the 2nd cheapest bolt pattern in the world next to 4x4” (because that one is full of tiny steel wheels from yard equipment and golf carts). I wouldnt pay a ‘premium’ of any sort for tiny 4 lug wheels for a tractor! They SHOULD be cheap! Also, the tractor has a 70mm ‘hub...

When California took the first real actions to regulate vehicle emissions in the early 1960s because the LA area was already choked with smog, the first thing they did was ban ‘puke tubes’. That’s the old slang for ventilating your blowby gases to atmosphere. I think that ONE change knocked down...

As far as i know ALL hst 7100s would be 6 lug front as theyre all newer and any 4 lug front 7100 would be gear trans. Dont know on year breakdown.. Ok, im seeing what youre saying about 4x100 to 5x114.3 in particular because there’s no good way to overlap the two patterns without some extra...

Yes. Even if you pull a lever, it will 'deadhead' that circuit but your loader relief valve will open. Near idle that may stall the engine, but it definitely isn't going to hurt anything. Now if you deadhead something BEFORE the relief valve and at high revs then yes, possible breakage. But the...

4x4" and 4x100mm are NOT the exact same. 4x4" is closer to 102mm, which is enough to make the studs hit the edges of the holes on the rim and not want to slide through. However, it is usually pretty easy to fix. You can either tilt your press-in studs slightly by putting a nut on them and then...

I do think the simplest Chinese mini-excavators are probably a better overall value than a lot of the smaller tractor backhoes. You don't need much property at all to find a lot of uses for one of those things either. Post pic of the loader you have some time!

There are almost certainly a bunch of wheels that will fit, but the question i would ask first is, does your tractor have power steering? Your steering effort is going to change tremendously if you go to wider tires, especially if the scrub radius increases substantially due to different wheel...

The pto reverser is a basket case, and new ones are out the budget. That means 'No PTO 3pt Implements' for you. Like wolfman said, all the drag type stuff is still possible, as long as you can pull it with 2wd traction levels. So uhh, maybe just get a landscape rake? Back blade maybe, box blade...

^ I am a big fan of my Yeswelder 205DS! BUT.. i have not run it on 120 much. :) I agree the welding might need work. MIG in general is a bit funny because you can't really control your heat and your filler metal rates separately. You can, but only within a range.. there is no way to add heat...

I would recommend the landscape rake for this project, and the back blade for a combination of this and the driveway IF you are trying to change grade, like create crown. If the driveway itself was not damaged by the torrential rains it probably is ok at its existing grading in which case the...

This is a great thread. People talking to each other at a high technical level, OP answering questions quickly and directly, no nonsense spread around (except as comic relief), and then the tractor runs! Gotta love it. I think the biggest clue for me came from that video. It was cranking...

So an alternator will only push out as many amps as it takes to raise the system to the target voltage. So if your current alternator is putting out 5amps to keep the system at ~13.0 or whatever voltage it is hitting, the new alternator would also only put out 5amps to hit the same voltage...

So let me stick my foot in my mouth here, since i dont know a damn thing about a b7100 HST specifically... The 3pt and 'other lift' you mentioned are run by the pump on the side of the engine. It has nothing to do with propelling the vehicle (unless it pumps all your trans oil into your engine...
