    B2601 MMM and H,M,N,L controls

    This is probably a dumb question but here it goes anyway. It appears there is no clutch on the B2601 or its big brother B2650. The duel brake peddle is under the left foot where the I would expect a clutch (like on my B2410} to be. My question is, "How are the mid PTO and the travel levers...

    Coolant... after the fact

    I changed all the fluids in the B2410. Replaced the mid PTO seal along with one axle seal... no more seeps!:D This is where I need some opinions. I also replaced the engine coolant with Valvoline Zerex g-05. as recommended for diesels. Instead of using the 50/50 method I went with 70/30...

    Diesel Fuel Question

    Folks... I am retrofitting the B2410 with a Racor fuel/water separator/30 micron filter... I send pics as soon as I am finished and explain why I went the Racor route.

    Guys... this is for my neighbor. I watched as his 2015 BX2370 with his RCK60B-23BX (577 hours) get hauled off to the dealer for the second time for the same issue. all within 6 months time. The drive pulley off of the gear box came loose making for huge vibrations, belt wear and the idler...

    Brake screw up...

    My buddy has a B2410 like mine. He recently ran the tractor with the brake peddles in a down and semi locked position for what he estimates was 1/4 mile. He said when he dismounted the tractor he could smell HOT hydraulic oil big time. He says it still runs and operates the same as before the...

    Safety First

When you read it or hear it... our first thought is, "I am really careful and it won't happen to me". Well... I am living proof a tractor is ONLY functional IF it is up right... and...
