I watched that GWT video and was surprised he never mentioned lifting the mower when mowing the 3ft stuff with it. Honestly, considering that mowing any 3ft grass is going to look like a choppy sloppy mess afterwards whether you do it with a bush hog or a finish mower, the main difference is...

That's a great piece for the price! I agree that it looks a LOT more capable than a regular 3pt blade, at least while moving forward! I also agree about hooking it to a 3pt drawbar. That way you will still have the option to lift the blade off the ground from the operator's seat without getting...

I was on a long break from the internet being super busy moving and trying to get settled. It took almost a month to get internet out here because there is only one provider and you know what a lack of competition does for work ethic.. I'm back and will resume this thread (catching up to where...

I definitely recommend getting a 5 or 6 ft rake, and honestly I'd do the 6 ft unless you plan to use it near a bunch of things it might snag on or damage. It takes very little power to pull a landscape rake and if it has an angle feature it effectively gets 'narrower' once angled. I have a...

Back from a 2wk break from the internet, this thread was still open on my computer. It's sort of a ratio. The more blade width you are engaging to the ground, the more weight you need to make it work. So a heavier, narrower blade is going to work much better when cutting with the blade, than a...

I agree it would be workable, just.. sensitive. The thing about HP requirements is it doesn't tell you anything about the 'transient' load or whether the engine can cope with that.. So I think it's possible that you could take a B7100 engine at 1000rpm, and slowly load it to a '6hp load' and...

I have one of those newer style on my parts tractor, but decided to keep that one for myself since I will probably need it at some point! The old-style ones on my B6100 and this one are still 'serviceable'.. If you remove the spring and crank the everloving piss out of it, or perhaps fabricate...

Sure, but he was talking about attaching a pump to his crankshaft splines. That's why i assumed the pump would operate at crankshaft rpms. But it's entirely possible that something about that statement was a misunderstanding because a 5gpm @ 1000 rpm pump would stall a b7001 at 1000rpm if any...

Impressive build! I wasn't on this forum when you started but i have a B219 and it does appear that almost everything on yours is built larger or thicker than on the b219. I wouldn't be surprised if yours was much heavier. As far as running hot, I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion of...

What did the fluid look like? There is not much in there, but if what came out looked absolutely terrible there's a chance that what is in there is so gunky that it won't flow out of the drain hole. If there was no water accumulation freezing in that fluid, you would need to look in the two...

I love all the thought that is going into this. I am technically new to tractors (<2yrs) but as an automotive Master Tech i have to know how everything works to be able to diagnose and fix it, so I didn't just buy a tractor.. I looked at damn near everything that was out there, tried to reverse...

Ok, on to the rear wheels/hubs. Even though i technically did more work to the rear hubs, it felt like it went by faster. The rear hubs on these things are.. something that looks like it was never intended to last 40 years, but here we are and they are all screwed up. :ROFLMAO: So these hubs...

Don't do what the previous owner of my b6100 did and weld (not even drill a hole and just bolt/nut) a hitch ball to the top of the loader bucket! Unless you leave all your trailer tongues 2ft off the ground at minimum it makes curling the bucket under the trailer tongue to hook it a bit of a...

Forgot to address this, plus i need to make at least one not-rude contribution to break even eh.. So as far as the oil pressure gauge, it is likely very simple and no different from any other engine. I installed oil pressure gauges on two 6100s, but they have a different engine from a 6000. If...

I have not looked up the 'correct' fluid but i can tell you it is a tiny amount, probably a pint or less of fluid. Your original problem is hopefully that there's excess water contamination in the fluid which is crystalizing into ice and making the steering either seized or very crunchy at below...

If that's the case this will be a VERY easy conversion. You must buy bolts a little longer than the wheel bolts you already have, and you will either want to use lock washers, or thread sealer, or tack weld the bolt heads to the hub so that when you are tightening down lug nuts on the other end...

It is commonly done on cars and if the thread is one used by a car you can probably even buy a set of conversion studs on ebay or amazon pretty cheaply. But even if it's not a common thread, you can still just get bolts that size. If they can be threaded in from the back side of the hub to...

Oldie, If you want me to stop repeating myself i will. However, I have said before, i think more than once, that the steering box does not go into the transmission, that the part it is bolted on top of is not even the transmission, AND I've posted pics of the gearbox removed from the tractor...

So the tractor was missing one lug stud entirely. Rather than try to pull one off my parts tractor, i decided to make one simply by threading a same-size bolt into the hole, cutting the head off, and dressing up the cut end a little bit. One of the things I've learned doing this type of thing...

Aside from the horribly beat up hood and fenders, one of the things really adding to the sense of neglect coming off this thing was the front wheels and tires. Someone had put some 5.3-12 trailer tires and wheels on it. Not only that, they were 'dusted' in orange paint in the most half-assed...
