    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    So this thing has 5 pedals on it: Clutch Left Brake Right Brake Throttle Diff Lock Initially the ONLY one that worked was the clutch! But i still adjusted it.. and replaced the cotter pins and other mismatched clips on most of the pedals' clevis pins with small hairpins for ease of future...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    The fuel filter on the 6100 looked pretty disgusting. When i bought my B8200, the owner had included a new fuel filter (and air filter which also ended up on this 6100) so i went ahead and used that. I actually thought the filter bowl was made of glass, but when i sprayed brake cleaner into it...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    Obviously the B6100 had been run out of diesel a time or two, judging by the condition of the air bleed screw on the injection pump. Apparently, none of those times was a 12mm wrench to be had, because it looks like it was attacked repeatedly with slip joint pliers, or hell maybe a leatherman...

    Zero turn to B series

    This isn't even tractor related, but consider a front hitch for your truck if you want to get the boat into trickier spots without bringing out the tractor. I know, once you have the tractor you'll be looking for any vague excuse to use it! But seriously, you can do much fancier maneuvering with...

    Zero turn to B series

    I've used a zero turn on my property and while the speed and maneuverability is fun, the speed isn't that useful since my ground is too bumpy and full speed just beats me up and has me flying over some of the grass im supposed to cut, and the maneuverability just isn't that useful because the...

    Tractor Joy ride

    Funny you should mention that.. I have a B6100 i love and find very fun, but its throttle pedal does not seem useful to me because it will only rev the tractor up, but not let it rev back down to the previous setting. I didn't figure i cared so i never looked at that. Well, i picked up a 7100 to...

    Tractor Stability

    It is not the cheapest of the options but i would recommend getting a box blade, as mentioned already. It will serve the purpose of rear weight, let you do box blade stuff as desired, and has basically a 100% resale value. I suspect if you only do spacers but no 3pt weight and no tire fill, you...

    Well here's the followup.. I changed nothing and this problem mysteriously resolved itself. :rolleyes: Im a professional auto tech and i honestly hate it when that happens.. i like my stuff to work but as a diagnostician (although not of goofy browser issues) it irks me when something fixes...

    PTO in Neutral?

    I had read somewhere that the BX had a 'pto brake' but it never occurred to me to wonder if it would make the pto shaft harder to line up. Sounds like a workaround has been discovered, though. Makes me wonder.. would an overrunning clutch attachment for the pto shaft be easily enough turned by...

    B7100 Hydraulic block diverter (70060-00360 or 70070-00385)

    Whoops, did i sleep on this? Did everyone just PM you or something? Sorry if i'm being dense.

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    So about those brake pedals flopping down as if they weren't connected to anything.. yeah they weren't. Both brake rods had been broken, and one of them had been 'repaired'. It was repaired so well, it's hard to fathom why it broke again. :rolleyes: The bad: The worse! Ok, on to the actual...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    So the radiator was nearly new, and the radiator hoses as well. Probably a bad sign, all things considered. These came with an all-metal radiator that barely even sees pressure and my other 3 near-identical tractors appear to still be on their originals. Whether the old one was impaled on...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    So one of the first things I did was replace the battery. These tractors, at least from the several i've seen, are apparently supposed to have a group 51 battery in them. That's unfortunate because that's a small car battery that costs just as much as a big car battery, and most of the battery...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    So i have a B6100 w/ b219 FEL that I dearly love. A buddy of mine who used to own a small skid steer and somewhat regrets getting rid of it had been looking for some kind of small and maneuverable loader for use around his property. He had borrowed my b6100 for a week or two and enjoyed it, and...

    B670 BackHoe swing speed

    So I'm fixing up a B670 for a buddy and it seemed to me to have 'unrestricted' swing speed. I recently ordered every single hose on the thing from Surplus Center and in the process of replacing them I noticed these restrictor sections and remembered reading this thread a couple of months ago...

    Logged in, but some threads show me logged out and can't log in.

    My issues started over a week ago, but i haven't had enough time to spend on forums to get good and bothered about it until last night. I did just try it on old Internet Explorer on one thread that i remember not being able to access, and it worked. I normally use Chrome and would prefer to...

    So I'm having a strange issue with the forum. Some threads I try to open show me logged in and allow me to post and reply (like this one). Other threads show me as logged out. I refresh the page, still always shows me as logged out. If i try to log in, it says " Cookies are required to use...

    Kubota L2002 3 pt hitch

    Actually that does sound like the same issue. A relief valve stuck open will prevent the system from building enough pressure to lift much, if any, weight. However, it won't stop you from manually lifting the 3pt arms while pulling the lever to 'raise', as you'd be sucking fluid into the 3pt...

    B7100 Hydraulic block diverter (70060-00360 or 70070-00385)

    I live in Texas but starting out from $25 USD i'd be surprised if shipping made the total price unreasonable... thanks for doing this!

    Check Valve for Tilt Cylinder

    Almost all the ones that are built onto the cylinder have custom hardlines fitted to them when they are built. I have seen some fitted between sections of straight tube with banjo fittings on the cylinder ports, but it looks highly tedious to piece together and replicate. I would buy a cylinder...
