I would suspect the horrible noise only when the clutch pedal is pushed is actually the pilot bearing, or.. lack thereof at this point. :oops:

The topic has been sort of nibbled around the edges, but to give a fuller explanation for the next person who comes across looking for solar charger info, here we go: A simple solar panel with NO electronic controls on it whatsoever must be of a very small wattage, say <10w, to avoid damaging a...

Glad you found a 7100 to buy parts from. I found out the 6100/7100 differences 'the hard way' but i had two complete tractors side by side so it did not make me regret any purchases, i just swapped a lot more parts than i had planned to..:LOL: Also make sure the bolts on your 3pt rockshaft arms...

In my experience being able to tilt the box forward is mostly useful for increasing my ‘departure angle’ when traversing crazy terrain while carrying the box blade.. Maybe not a likely scenario for many people, but since i used my box blade as loader counterweight it tends to go with me...

Thanks for posting that. Gotta admit i never really stopped to wonder what would happen if a leaking injector allowed combustion pressure to backfeed towards the pump. I know combustion pressure is way less than injection pressure but I dont have my head all the way around what happens in the...

Wow, thats an impressive looking backhoe. Looks like the dipper arm has a ton of leverage.. googled the model number and it seems everyone agrees its a strong unit. Probably wont know how much adaptation the subframe would need without having the tractors side by side.

A box blade will sit level on its own because of its walls, but a ‘back blade’/‘angle blade’ with a top link in float will just sink in the front until the top link is fully retracted. Something about a back blade that a lot of people dont realize is that a power top link lets you change the...

Wow, sorry for not noticing this for so long. I am NOT going to push the electro-hydraulic actuator solution but i will at least explain it, in my case anyway. I got mine (2 of em) for $200/ea on ebay. Not because they were exactly what i wanted (theyre on the small side for this job) but...

Im in the early stages of ‘turning field into yard’, about an acre total, and after figuring out that no, a disc really wont do much to hard packed untouched land (just like they say..) im in the process of ‘ripping’ first with 5 rippers on a 60” box blade.. Tedious going! 😂 But my box blade is...

I sort of wonder if the lack of available options for B26s has to do with how many of them are in rental fleets. Customer asks for a thumb or ripper and gets told “you need to rent the mini ex if you want that..”

Im curious what is breaking here as well. If there are already shear bolts and they are NOT breaking and something else is, someone either unwisely ‘upgraded’ the shear bolts and moved the weakest link to a more expensive and difficult area, or the part that is failing at a force level that it...

So smooth for the operator and nice for the clutch are not necessarily the same thing. I can operate a stick and gears clutch pedal to make a manual transmission behave as if it were a CVT, but id be killing it. Not saying engaging at a higher rpm is ‘killing’ those people’s pto clutch, but if...

Would you believe.. Northern Tool? They sell it as an attachment for their little $3500 towable hoe, which i learned had the same pin spacing as my backhoe, as well as at least some (maybe all?) BX hoes which means it will work on those too. I havent checked back in a while but i bought mine for...

Might be an illusion but looks to me like the part of the torn material that would actually be contacting the ripper was not 'square' to it, and instead was a thin edge.. might need to see what is 'left behind' in the area directly behind the ripper to see if the rest of that material stayed...

Too large of an implement to not have a slip clutch, maybe.. but if everyone had to stay 100% within the 'recommended limits' of a tractor to not break it, damn near everyone's first tractor would end up a smoking heap and some people would break every tractor they touched for the rest of their...

As an automotive tech (ase master + L1 + L3 blah blah) it blows my mind that this type of PTO engagement even exists.. On car we call that a 'clutch dump'. Or, if it's a multiplate wet clutch like an auto trans, we call it a 'neutral drop'. :) And both are classic recipes for broken axles (ie...

Since you have a loader and a backhoe you're in luck because your tractor is VERY easy to put on jackstands! You should inpsect the u joints on the front driveshaft, at the least. With all 4 wheels in the air, if you apply the parking brake and leave the tractor in 4wd (engine off!) you should...

Given the strength of the hoe compared to my little tractor with the same 16" bucket, i would say focus on the ripper and skip the narrower buckets, for now anyway. No harm cutting a 16" hole if it isn't slowing you down much. The ripper will let you get through roots and pry up big rocks quite...

Yes, BUT if you put an inline relief between the loader valve and the base end of the lift cylinders, not only will it limit your lift force to that relief setting, it will also crack open any time the 'external forces' on your lift cylinders cause pressure to spike beyond the relief setting...
