Thanks, Ray!

Hmm... seems like something they would do as a first step before charging you rent. I guess that level of efficiency would be 7-sigma?

Looks like your question got overlooked in the excitement of new red boxes, or sound systems, or places where your beer will stay cold when you hafta keep it outta sight. Your idea of the surplus outlet is great -- and not just counters; cabinets too. However, I believe this is the time for you...

Whaaaattt? Please explain! I haven't cleaned mine, just accumulated it and stored it in boxes. I finally have a bench small enough and stout enough to mount my Lee Loader on but I prolly won't live long enough to figure out how to assemble it. :p That being said, I really would like to be able...

All very good advice! One thing I would suggest, whether you 'upgrade' your dynamo/alternator or replace the high-wattage lights... in fact, before you even think about choosing that: trouble-shoot your wiring. It actually sounds like you have one branch that is leaking to ground. I recommend...

No idea, Mudball, and over 50 people have read your post so I suppose the really knowledgeable folk haven't seen your post. So I'll pipe up and say that it seems very, very 'reasonable' (cheap) to me. Have you looked for the parts on fleaBay? That may give you an idea of a fair price.

Wow! :eek: Please tell me what cleaner you used -- I really, really want to avoid that problem! :D

Would you consider buying it online? I see there are a couple of vendors on Amazon.

My, my, what a wonderful setting -- and a magnificent job on the wall. I think your assumption is correct: bucket flat; push in; curl back. However, what I found with the rock I bought is that I was unable to pick up much rock; my B6100D doesn't have the torque or the weight to be able to cut...

William1, I understand your concern over damaging your neighbor's trailer. I suppose that even if you got a careful loader operator (which is likely), the rocks might "splash" against the sides and do some damage. However, perhaps you could use his trailer to move the rocks from where your...

I don't know but have read of some engine swaps in this family of engines. I have no need of a new engine (yet) though I am very lustful of more power, so I've paid a bit of attention to the general comments. I believe that you need to stay in the 9xx family to be able to do a "plug-and-play"...

Hi, Al; Sorry you didn't get the response you needed. Sometimes patience is required as the wise ones may not see your post, and the wise guys like me may hijack it with all manner of inappropriate chatter. I've got a B6100 as well, but mine's a gear-drive so if I had noticed your posts that...

Heck, you don't need to wait! Once it hardens enough that water doesn't run out the holes, it'll cure just as well while you're working as it will sitting in the barn. Love the extreme precision you used cutting the openings around the drawbar -- very nice job!

How hard is the surface you're driving over, and do you have Ag tires? My B6100 (with Ag tires) is extremely bumpy over hard surfaces even going uphill and even without a load in the bucket. If you are running on turf tires, then it's a different ball game, and you need to pinpoint the source...

That certainly changes the equation! (And like you, I *really* appreciate how many sq ft are in an acre!) I think you're on the best tack (hey, tractors need to tack just like sailboats do!) to rent (or buy) a small slitting seeder. My suggestion, and I have no resources to offer, is to cover...

Sorry, my toy is an elderly B6100 so I don't have any wisdom for you. However, it sounds like it's time for some WD-40 (or stronger).

Have you tried the used parts and salvage yards? Here are some that I've heard have good prices: West Kentucky Tractor Parts Mid-South Salvage, Inc. Tractor Parts Inc Walts Tractor Parts

I'll repeat everything (Welcome!; Great lawn!; etc.) And welcome to the Orange (tractors, that is!) I can see the wisdom of all your purchases for their current and long-term benefits. However, I don't understand your intention to purchase a PTO-driven slitter. Wouldn't that attachment be...

Yes! Run a small wire from a 12v battery's positive post to the positive terminal on the meter, and a small wire from the battery's negative post to the negative terminal of the meter. Meter should begin ticking off the seconds. Your WSM should give you an idea of which terminal is positive if...

I feel your pain! For nearly a year I've been thinking up every new project or lame excuse not to tackle the open circuits under the dash of my B6100. Hoping you'll be posting pics of your mess and what you do to correct it.
