Thanks for the comments. After having seen the relative position of the fingers on the clutch upon opening it up, and seeing the position of the fingers when the new pressure plate and disk were installed I can see the relationship of the fingers with a 'new' clutch installation. However, I...

From my experience on this job there are several steps needed to do a clutch replacement. First, have a level space to work on. Second remove the battery and drain the fuel tank. Remove the fuel tank, the dividing plate, the wiring (I disconnected the front end, and pulled it all the...

The dinosaur lives!. Any specs on adjusting the pedal? It appears my adjusting rod is not long enough. Is the theory that the rod should be all the way extended for a new clutch and adjusted shorter as the clutch wears? Or visa versa? Is the length of the rod the determining factor...

If you haven't opened up anything, or cracked bleeders:..... You want the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) solution? Put a blanket over the hood. put an electric heater under it. in a couple hours it will start. A heat lamp will work to warm it up. You only have to get the fuel tank...

OK, Question asked, Answer. Detatch the FWD drive shaft! Duh!. Anyway, How to tell if the NEW throw out bearing is fully seated. I didn't measure the distance from the end of the shaft to the old one. I can't quite see behind the new bearing to tell if it is seated. One good thing...

Hey all: I have my dinosaur in pieces. But I CAN'T split the clutch housing off the back of the engine. What is holding it together? just the gasket? It's not even wiggling. I have 8 flat head screw drivers all around it. It is acting like it is being held together inside. Any...

Why do you need to unhitch the front end of the engine to do the clutch? This I understand THIS sounds like the work! We shall see how much more I can elaborate next weekend to your comments!

As mentioned, the air filter is an oil bath type, Releasing the two clips just lower it down. Clean it off. There should be the remnants of two yellow lines on the bowl. they are most likely rubbed off or just about gone. Fill to between the lines. Use the Engine oil. The specs call...

Hey there Chief: I have a clutch issue with my B6000. How did your split go? easy? I am working up the intestinal fortitude to break mine too. Got any thoughts on the issue? Thanks, John

If your tractor is overheating, make sure the radiator is clean, and free of gunk on the fins. Especially make sure someone didnt spray paint it (to make it 'look good' ) and seal in crud into the fins and openings. The thermosyphon system works on the simple principle "hot water rises, cold...

in all likelihood the old seals are just plain worn out. As an afterthought, you could remove the ram, (it will get messy) measre the length fully extended, and fully retracted. accurately measure the OD of the tube, and the OD of the shaft. You can look up hydraulic cylinders on...

The tractor does have the pulley running off the front of the crank, above the axle. That is why I thought of a MMM. But The wife has ixnayed any thought of using this in weekly mowing. She cant shift. So I am looking into selling this and upgrading to HST. Maybe a new(er) Orange is in...

I have the faucet type valve. Marko. If the 3PH wont stay up, the top of the Piston is the 4 bolts shown directly above the valve and 2 more on the angle bracket. Wiggle to take the top of the piston off, work the piston up and you can change the oring. I could only find the big...

Depends on where you are getting your hyd from. If you are using the existing tractor Hydraulic pump system, then you will only need to add fluid, once you get all the lines, rams full. but if you are going to use a separate pump, then you will need a separate pump, sump and more capacity. I...

I am not planning on using the pto. I haven't needed any rotating equipment for the last 4 years I have owned it. I just want to ensure the engine lasts (and lasts and lasts!) Oh yeah, it would be helpful if the front end and gear box accompanied the engine too! :-) I probably only use this...

I have a B6000. I use this old dinosaur as a yard task master. ripping out roots, bushes, FEL, and grading driveway, plowing snow. I bought a 3PH log splitter. (uses tractor hyd system) I need a lawn mower for 3/4 acre. Before I sink more money into a MMM, Is it worth it to take the old girl to...

Rob: Nice mower set up. Your rear tires. Is that on the original rims? I am trying to figure out how to switch my R-4's with some turfs without breaking the bank. I have a 4WD B6000 so I have to keep the tire aspect ratio the same. Sort of confusing. OH MY GAWD,..... I found your...

If you HAVE to have a finish mower, why not invest in a Northern (or similar) tow behind, self powered finish mower? Another benefit of having a stand alone finish mower is you could tow it with anything, if the trusty old B600 dies! I have a B6000 and It is a pretty tough little tractor...

Are you sure you are holding the starting switch over long enough? I hold mine over for 45 seconds to glow plug. then the other way and it always starts. You know the switch is two way, one way for glow plugs, the other to start? You can search on here for some posts about checking glow...

You're talking about the two trailing arms, and the vertical links that hook up to the two point lift arms? I have a B6000 and mine was missing too. I bought the two trailing arms, the adjustable links and the horizontal main rod (which attaches to the bottom of the transfer case) for 125 from...
