Nice work on the fab job. I have a little play on the one end of my drag link. I have thought of the same thing...changing out ends vs. spending that much money on a replacement drag link.

I just spent over $500 a piece to rebuild both of the tilt cylinders on my B7100. It was a lot more money than I anticipated, but they now have new innards and they are like new cylinders. These old tractors, in good working order are still worth quite a bit of money.

I've had great luck with Bushnell Trophy cams. I have my original 2008 units that still work fine, plus others I have purchased over the years. But, this is for pics only, no experience with cellular type.

I run a 48" rough cut mower on my B7100 and it handles it just fine.

Nice set up with the accessories, Bill!! A backhoe sure would come in handy for me! That's a great place to mount a fire extinguisher. I have been wanting to carry one on my tractor.

My 1977, B7100 has been a pretty amazing tractor for it's size. Granted I have only owned it for the last 5 years. Had to have the clutch replaced a couple of years ago. Other than that, I think it is incredible what I can do with it. I used it exclusively on our hunting land, pulling a 48"...

I replaced a Genie screw drive unit about 5 years back with a Chamberlain Whisper Drive unit, which is a belt drive. I think it is a pretty quiet unit.

Well, I have no experience with R4's. I have always used R1's, due to wanting to maximize traction and keep lugs from filling up with mud. But, they do ride a little rough, if you are on a hard surface. I guess it's more of an application question on why you want R1's vs. R4's. I think for...

Prayers sent for the little angel. Her parents have to be going through hell right now.

If you plan on working the sod into the soil, spraying it with vegetation killer (41% glyphosate) 3-4 weeks before you work it will make things a lot easier. That sod will work up a lot easier after the grass and roots have died.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Enjoy the quality time with family and friends. There is much to be thankful for....

Hey Thomas, how are you doing? I was concerned, since you have not posted in some time. I reached out to Daren Todd to see if he had heard from you. I guess he got a hold of you. He says you are doing fine. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Things are well with my B7100. One of my...

My best success rates on transplanting trees is early spring, while the trees are still dormant. Take as big of a root ball as you can and try to keep it intact around the roots. Make the new hole slightly larger than the root ball, add loose soil around the root ball to fill in the voids.

Does it have a FEL, any other attachments included? What year is it? I don't think there is enough information given to help you on the pricing question.

Things were going well on my hunting land this year...spring plots looking decent, getting ready for fall plots in the next week or so. But, we had a huge storm come through parts of WI last Friday night. It caused destruction like I have never seen. Trees down all over by our cottage. My...

Nice Buckwheat plot! I plant the same thing in half of my plots, mainly as a soil builder and to provide a layer of thatch. I have a B7100 as well, which I use for the same exact reasons you do. They are over achievers, that's for sure.

Well, I know I am more cautious and less of a risk taker the older I get. I'm sure one can equate that with how you are feeling. One could look at it this way as well, the older we get, the more close calls we have had, the more "experienced" and cautious we become. But, I still don't like...

I probably wash mine good once a year, in the fall, since I don't use it much in the winter months. I am religious about keeping the radiator and screen clean of debris though. I often take the screen out and hit the radiator with some forced air.

Here's what I get from this post, if it is legal (or supposedly legal), than it must be safe...lol. There are lots of smart, informed people on this forum. If you would listen instead of defending your bad decisions, you could probably learn something. Safety first and foremost!!

I have experienced the same dilemma you have with a 4' cutter on my 16 hp, B7100. I can stall the tractor out with hitting something, but the factory shear pin does not shear. I ended up replacing the "shear bolt" with a piece of threaded rod instead. A carriage bolt would work as well. I figure...
