I think what people were trying to tel you in so many words, is that the dealership will claim to be able to do something, get you on the hook, find out their guys suck in whatever way (parts guy misquoted, tech can’t get it apart, whatever) and then make up bullshit that adds up to enough money...

like this? It seems there are a variety of them out there. Anyway if you had rockshaft arms and a tow ball on the tractor, you could just couple the trailer tongue on the tow ball, affix some chain hooks to the rockshaft arms or even bolt through them, and either put a chain hook on the trailer...

So am i the only one curious about the ‘4 turns’?! Like, when was thay adjustment made? wouldn’t happen to be the last time the engine ran, would it? And what was the original purpose of doing that? Was it running weakly before? I feel like when the human adds a variable and now the machine...

Any type of hard ground will increase wear and tear on the machine, or at least require you to be more careful with it and grease it more often. I have a 16” bucket as well and dont love it.. I swapped on a ~10” bucket from my buddies smaller machine when i was doing some trenching and it was a...

Do you know the model of the wood chipper? Depending on how heavy it is and how long the tongue is there may be a way to just lift it with the rockshaft arms while coupled to the tow ball without even needing to put the rest of the 3pt setup on the tractor. Im assuming the rockshaft arms stay...

Mine is a 54 but i know they made several versions. itBmine’s comment about the pto shaft is one reason why i figure these might be less annoying.. all the connections you make are in the open at the rear, and the back of the mower (the 3pt end) is light enough to push around a bit if you need...

The looser the surface, the less it matters that the ratio is not perfect. 20.5 is as far as i know ONLY a trailer tire size. I havent seen any other options in exactly that size. I had 20.5s on front of my 4wd b6100 and replaced them with a similar size ATV tire and ive been happy. 6-12s are...

I love seeing little mods like that 👍 In fact i can inagine using both ends of a golf club as different handles 😂

Yeah, when i first started fixing small engine equipment (im an auto mechanic but never touched small engine stuff until a few years ago) i was buying chinese carbs, but quickly got irritated enough that I just started going through the originals myself and it's been rare that i can't 'fix...

I believe the brand is Continental Belton. In my mind 'its gonna be great' but i haven't run it yet so it's all theoretical right now. Makes perfect sense, knowing that. (y)(y)

Always sucks when you find out that to FIX something right, it actually takes even more effort than it would have taken to INSTALL it right in the first place, and that was already enough work to make the last guy not do it in the first place! 😂

They are not the exact same. One has a curve on the front side walls and one doesn't. Also, the square tube top rail on the OP's bucket looks noticeably more substantial than the top rail on SGR's bucket.. and since that's what you'd probably be attaching hooks/receiver to, all the better! I...

So i feel like the odd guy out for even asking since so many people are sticking right to the main topic, but.. why even mid mount? Why not 3pt? I know some people have maneuverability concerns but.. if you're buying a whole new tractor, you're way past zero turn money so the tractor must be...

Usually the weight rating is given in terms like 'at the pins' or '24" behind the pins' and the thing about a brush cutter is that MOST of its weight is past even the 24" mark, so it 'acts' heavier than it is, especially 'dynamically' when you hit bumps etc. Technically speaking there is no...

Yes, these little b5100/6100/7100 et al are mostly limited in capability by their weight, so anything you can do within reason to add to it is generally helpful. Only major caveat being the front axle, as Bart mentioned. I personally think these tractors are downright dangerous with an FEL...

Barts, I've thought about putting an alternator on my B6100 as well. Since mine has FEL (yours too) i considered just mounting a pulley on the pump shaft that goes out to FEL pump, and running the alternator off a link belt, basically above and behind the hydraulic pump. Would probably make a...

Thanks! I figured 37 were circlips, and i thought for some reason there were 3 bushings instead of 2 bushings and a spacer, thus my confusion about why they were 3 separate parts at all.. I agree that you don't need to overthink the grease grooves. A handheld grease gun can make enough pressure...

Yeah i have seen those rubber plugs.. aint that nice?! To find some 40 year old empty holes CLEAN and not rusted up because a company spent the extra $0.20 to put plugs in them? I love Kubota.. Anyway i have wondered that myself but with the subframe in place it doesnt really seem possible to...

Take a picture of the current alternator on the tractor so we can accurately guesstimate whether the GM 1-wire will easily fit. :)

Am i correct that there's no oil plumbing installed yet in the pics/video? Post pics of that part when you get it done! I think it will be cool and not totally useless. I have considered turboing my B6100, although the engine/underhood layout on it, while objectively 'easy' for turbocharging...
