    Zerk fitting help, please.

    Dr. it may have just turned some, so now it's at an odd angle. If it actually "bent" it would most likely break off at the base and you'd have some threads left in the hole. Might take a small set of wrenches to see which one fits on the flats and give it a nudge to an angle you can get the...

    MMM Belt Tensioner Spring

    If there is room I try to get a monkey wrench on the arm holding the spring and, if necessary, use a piece of cheater pipe over the handle...get the belt in place and let the spring back to do it's job. I don't take the spring off, but use the leverage to get the pulley out of the way and the...

    MX5100 Oversized Radiator

    Might be worth your time, before spending time and money on a new radiator, to be absolutely sure your current radiator is clean. If you're really considering replacing your radiator you're going to have to remove it. Why not remove it and clean it from the inside out? Get some simple green...

    I don't get it! I spend one day using the tractor, and it's dirty

    All sounds good, but little Ella needs to start learning sometimes things not being perfect is OK. Or maybe dad is making sure she never finds a man that will put up with her!:D

    B6000 hydraulic leak

    I believe if you call a dealer, like Coleman, you will not get much help. They do not have any Gray market parts list on their computers, and will tell you they do not have any parts for Gray marketed tractors. They were not intended for import to the US. However, you can probably get the...

    Re-decking a trailer

    I had rough Oak on a deck. I waited until the moisture pretty much evaporated (6 months) then brushed the wood with linseed oil. (I got the oil from the counties recycle depot. Where someone was cleaning out a garage and discarded paint, oil, etc. And would do so on a regular basis.) I...

    How to remove an engine

    Go back and look at it again about a dozen times. Go to the bottom of the picture where it says "source". There you can stop the video. Stop it a few times. You'll see the block itself separated just above the crankshaft. Crank, bottom 1/2 of the block, con rods and cam all stayed in the...

    B6000 hydraulic leak

    OK, I got to back up. Are you working on the front end of your tractor or the back end? If it's the front, that connection has an 0-ring. If you need room to get to the 0-ring you'll have to remove the four bolts...that's probably the easiest. Many tractors will have a hose in that line for...

    Easy BX HST fan replacement

    Here's a picture of what Russell is suggesting. Might be too easy and too cheap though! Your local hardware store probably has them in the electrical section, if not Home Depot does. https://www.biscoind.com/Heyco/3997?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3eK34c2t1QIVAo5pCh1sIgn7EAQYAyABEgK_a_D_BwE

    B6000 hydraulic leak

    The copper washers are kinda like the flat washer you find on your oil drain plug. A banjo bolt uses a flat copper washer to get a positive seal.

    "They're copper"! The go on both sides on the back where the strainer is located. The picture you show on the hyd pump has one 0-ring, then the bolts go through the fitting into the pump.
