Well what do you know I am NOT alone in the world. Thanks Eric I was beginning to think I was the only one on here that did stuff like that. Dusty

Hi Stanster. It does not sound good. But you can try to set up the clutch. It has to be worth a shot. If it ends up that you have to split the tractor it's not as big a job as you might think. And these little tractors are fairly easy to work on. Good luck and keep us posted.:D Dusty

I have no knowledge of your tractor what so ever. But maybe by bringing your post to the top of the pile someone will notice that does know. Good luck:D Dusty

Wow Joshua that is nasty.Please keep us updated on the fix. For you this is a horrible thing to find. And we all feel bad that it turned out this way. But I know that all of us are interested in the fix. Good luck and if what you have planned does not work, I am sure that Handyman or some of the...

Hey Moralem. I am sorry, you don't have to install another ground. On these old tractors they ground the battery to the rear housing, right beside the battery. The ground path from the ground on the rear end to the starter may not be as good as when the tractor was new. It is just like with...

A little bit of overkill is best when considering a loader. You plan on lifting only a thousand pounds but at 40 inches from the loader pins that turns into a lot more than a thousand pounds. The extra money for a tractor that will do what you want without straining the snot out of the tractor...

I don't Know. What else could it be. Unless the cable is close to a heat source and even then it should show damage from the outside. A live wire shorting against the cable itself? Moralem and Eric should get together and discuss this. I hate wiring so bad that I would just disconnect or cut...

It seems that on every tractor I have owned I always end up running a seperate ground from the battery to one of the starter motor mounting bolts. I need to make a better effort to keep my connections.:D Dusty

How bout pressure testing cooling system. And welcome to the forum.:D Dusty MMMM Sorry I forget some times not everybody spends as much as I have on tools. If you have a test kit check cooling system and cap.

It would not have occurred to me Either but it will now. I hate wiring. Good Luck Eric.:D Dusty

B1700 or B7100 ?:confused: Dusty

Hi Dave . Ya that should I say should fix it.:DDusty

Hi Dave. Welcome to the forum. On my B7200 the vent was at the back of the tractor underneath the bracket that held the top link. On my B8200 it is in pretty much in the same spot but exposed. But your diagnosis sounds right. The vent may be just a small plastic cap or on the 8200 it almost...

My son and my son inlaw say that every thing I own is emotional to use (mostly fear) partly because of overkill on hitches bumpers and anything else I can beef up. Ugly isn't always bad in my books.:D Dusty

Its hard pricing a job like that. I always walk away money ahead but nothing that is going to help get newer or better equipment. Thats why I am always buying old stuff and fixing it up. Jim

Well your Dad and I would get along great. That old ford of mine was on engine number 4 when I finally put it down. Up here the road salt just eats the body. Your dads truck and your trailer still make a nice lookin unit goin down the road. There are a lot of people who would not tackle that job...

You are too fast for me I can't keep up Eric. I think I woulda pulled my fuckin hair out doin that job.

Wow Eric you sure know how to work that box blade. Thats a lot of work.Your tractor earned its keep today. I would tackle a job like that but I would allow myself a week to do it. That place sure looks a lot better now. On another topic I not only want your trailer but I want your truck too...

I had a lot of fun with that truck. Made a bit of money with it too. Hauling cement crew and forms and such. All farm work manure pits bunker silos barn foundations. lots of mud spring and fall. Kind of turned some heads when i showed up to pic up the guys and it had turned into a 4x4. Anyway I...

Welcome to the site Jimi. I am one of them that likes pics. So how about a couple of pics of your tractor.:D Dusty
