    Barn Find - B6100e Motor wont turn over

    Can you turn the engine by hand (without brute force)? Water in one cylinder most likely means the engine is seized, the piston rusted in. So that means the head has to come off.

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    My understanding is to prevent turning of the ring and guiding it when it is being pulled back. As I said before, they were both broken on mine and one still sticking out a bit. That prevented the ring from being pulled back fully. Only when I turned the ring so that the stump aligned with a...

    Barn Find - B6100e Motor wont turn over

    I think roybeauchamp should clarify what he meant by radiator being dry. On the outside or the inside?

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    See post #4. The pins stop the ring from rotating. This PTO driveshaft is rotating at 2000rpm. Pulling the ring unlocks the balls. It is conical inside and pushes the balls towards the centre when released. This holds the coupling in position through the groove in the driveshaft. Trouble is...

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    Maybe the pins are in the right position, so you cannot see the holes. But then you should not be able to turn the ring against the u-part. Another thing: you may consider removing the u-joint, I think they have internal clip rings. This way you would get access to the shaft as well and maybe...

    The welds actually do not look too bad. Reminds me of the front loader torsion bar welds breaking that some people had problems with.

    Double Pilot Operated Check Valves

    Hello, what an expression. I have to repeat it: "Double Pilot Operated Check Valves". I have a rough idea what they do, how they operate but not really why they are needed. I do not want to mess up other threads where people have specific questions, so that's why I openend a new thread. As...

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    Hi Roger, missed this part, sorry. The one I pictured is different to yours but most likely similar construction (maybe you can post a picture from the side). In the one pictured there are two pins that prevent the ring from turning against the splined part. On mine both pins were broken, I...

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    One more thing: make sure there is no dirt between the ring and the splined part preventing the ring being pulled back fully. This would make it more difficult too.

    Phone app to log/track maintenance for everything

    Very wise ! A friend of mine dropped his phone over the side while sailing recently. :oops: Despite a diver being able to recover the phone none of his data or pictures could be restored. I have an old fashioned folder with paper in my garage and write maintenance logs for every vehicle...

    RC48 mower deck removal question

    Hi Roger, I think the three steel balls (and the ring and the splined part) have simply rusted and are now bigger in diameter. Penetrating oil, wobbling and patience are your friends, I would say. The balls are not accessible from the outside for cleaning off the rust I am afraid. Once you got...

    For sale G2000 4 wheel steer w/bagger and 2 stage snow blower $2300

    Yes, no problem, no urgency with that, appreciated ! This is a very rare species you have there, with diverter valve, front PTO, rear PTO, front weights and front subframe. And looks in good condition too. How are the front weights attached? And do you have a work shop manual for the rear PTO...

    Would you mind posting a large picture of the PTO lever and the diverter valve lever? I am particularly interested in the labels around them.

    Yes, that could well be the case. But my little garden tractor has 5 large labels (and lots of smaller ones) with "Kubota" on them, each easiliy readable without glasses :giggle:
