I totally understand. I Have a b6100 which is a bit smaller than a bx, and a b8200 which is larger. The 8200 has a backhoe and the impact on maneuverability vs the 6100 is pretty serious in tight spaces, especially as far as dragging the ground. And dragging the ground itself wouldn't be that...

I didn't mean to offend, just wanted to make sure we were trying to diagnose the original problem, and not going off on a wild goose chase chasing a side-effect of the 4 turns, or that it didn't create a new and different problem. But it seems like if the pump plungers were scoured, you had low...

Technically, any time your diesel exhaust is visible (other than heat distortion) you're not burning all the fuel you're using. But diesel people seem to love looking at their exhaust particulates coming out of the pipe, so i doubt that thought will resonate.. lol

I recently pulled a 16ft tandem axle loaded with metal around my yard with the backhoe. I actually had the safety chains hooked to my dipper arm and there was no ball involved at all. Like everything unsafe, you can make it as safe as possible by being more cautious..

So far, i have only really used my box blade as ballast for the loader on my b6100 (vs other forms of ballast). But that is a somewhat unusual situation because the loader only lifts 500lbs and the 60" box blade at 300+ lbs is already considered 'big' for that tractor. I doubt that 'just' a...

A grapple, a grapple conversion, an ssqa conversion, and a 3rd function hydraulic circuit, are all pretty 'big' hurdles for a lot of buyers and builders, whether it's the money or the tools/time/learning invested before you can pull it off. I think some kind of bucket forks, whether it be clamp...

That just looks like the typical 'lack of effort' in riding mower tie rod ends. Well, maybe a little better than average, but still. I always compare an open/unsealed spherical joint like that to a mortar and pestle. Great if you are trying to grind up spices, or spicy dirt in your yard i...

I feel like the absolute best reason for mounting turbos up high (other than perhaps showing them off) is being able to drain them into the valve covers vs anywhere else on the engine. SO much easier!

Well at least i was right about something. ;) But i didn't get straight to it because i didn't understand this about the loader valve: My older loader does not work that way (although it also has a totally undrilled PB boss) and my newer one has that little guide plate that makes it difficult...

Yes, there are some goofy forms of logic involved. Like, exhaust sensors CANT make your engine not run, but they can make the COMPUTER make your engine not run. Uh, what? Because manufacturers have to warranty certain exhaust components for certain periods of time. So even though you could...

So i edited my power beyond statements to say tank instead because i THINK i was understanding the flow through the system incorrectly. I don't think there should be ANY flow out of the power beyond port when a loader valve is pulled, regardless of whether a piston seal is leaking or not. Only...

When you operate the loader valve, it connects one side of the cylinders to the pump, and the other side to the tank. So when you try to lift the loader, if the piston seal in one cylinder (or both) is leaking from one side of the piston to the other, you will have reduced pressure trying to...

Lugbolt, as far as i know everything you just said is true. I hold the ASE L3 'hybrid' cert and am actually the lead on developing a hybrid/ev curriculum for our automotive program. I've still never heard of anyone who died from 12v, although the pacemaker is probably the key factor there. The...

Injectors are usually 2-wire devices. Inside is really just one long wire wrapped around many times to make an electromagnetic coil and what you see coming out is both ends of that wire. Usually vehicles give the injectors power when the key is on, and it's usually shared from a common source...

Well, the good thing is that you have ACCESS to that kind of info and are able to interpret it, etc. As you said, not a mechanic but for not being a mechanic you're able to operate at a pretty high level here where most people would just be stuck not being able to talk to the computer, i think...

Holy crap! I don't think i could get away with that today.. But would it surprise you, that MORE THAN ONCE, students have brought cheap little stun guns into class and shocked themselves on a dare? Because i am no longer surprised. 😂 Condolences about the friend with the pacemaker.. I currently...

Well i would NOT have known that from over here.. maybe the design of the lower attachment makes that 'obvious' but if i was just trying to figure it out i sure wouldn't have guessed that that was 'necessary'. Huh

Fair enough. I ask because, for example, i have a low-hours B7100 for sale for ~4k that will pretty much fit and go anywhere a 4 wheeler will fit and go AND will power a mowing deck or pto implement.. So i was just curious if older machines were written off for some reason. The financing thing...

To be fair almost anyone would be 'bad' at backing up a trailer that short! Plus side is, that thing is probably small enough to take off the truck and maneuver by hand when needed. As long as the ground is somewhat smooth and flat.. And if you get your 3pt to pick it up, or put a ball on your...

So im not saying you're wrong, i'm just saying they can say anything they want and all that is is 'the story' until you find out what's true, if you even can. For example, they put the wrong guy on it and now it 'turns out' there's a bunch of damage from a hammer from a 'previous repair' where...
