They are asking 800.00 for this g4200, which is outside the cost to rebuild my motor, unless I need a full on rebuild. But if I could get it for 500 (doesent have a mowing deck so basically a yard ornament) I getting into the range where a swap would be reasonable. All of this is off the...

Could the oil pans be swapped maybe? Do you think the bolt pattern to the frame is universal?

What is says: My z500d is not a happy motor. THere is a g4200 for sale locally with what is claimed to be a good motor. I think it is a z483. Is there any way to figure out if that would be a direct bolt in to my b5100?

So what size are those tires in your photo? How are they in the snow?

I have dual wheels on my b7100 and all four (ag tires) are rotten and nasty. (I dont even think one of them holds air anymore, but with the duals it still functions:)) So I did a little surfing and wonder: what about 245/70/16 truck tires? They can be had used for less than 200 dollars for...

Thanks to Australia for being awake while I sleep! THe only time I post here is when I dont want to do something. (As in: do I have to...) This all started as a groaning clutch that turned out to be a disintegrated pilot bushing. I replaced both the propeller shaft seals and now I suppose...

So does that mean I have to detach the transmission tunnel from the transmission to get at those snap rings?

I'm doing the same repair down here across the border.... I want to replace the large seal that goes on the outside of the throwout bearing holder but cant get it over the propeller shaft without removing the propeller shaft from the tractor. I pulled the little cotter key and pin and got the...

These are Firestones and are mounted for 200 for the pair. Its a great deal but I'm running four tires on the rear. So after all that its a no go anyway.

I see some 7.5x16 ag tires for sale at a good price. My b7100 has 8x16 tires on it now. Will 7.5's be bad for the 4wd?

I have a b5100 with a 48" mmm. I want to put a grass catcher of some kind on it. Teach me about over the shoulder baggers. Generic models are on CL all the time-- can I get one of them to pick up grass? What blows the grass into the box?

Thanks Vic. I guess I didnt know how much pressure to put on the thing--after all it didnt just drop out in the first place....

When I rebuilt my b7100 steering box I had to detach the drag link assy. I did that by sharp blows to the joint with a pair of hammers; it popped right off with no trouble. Reinstalling the drag link, I used a socket and a c-clamp to pull things together but I wondered at the time if it was...

I believe so, but I will recheck this next time I have the tractor in the shop. I guess I was surprised to hear that a factory replacement might not be complete in this area.

The numer of balls affects the steering play? (I just replaced my steering column, and sector gear, and was wondering why I had so much play in the steering. Should I be disassemling and counting the ball bearings?

NOt enough info but heres an idea re a tennis ball: Hang it on the door if its a rollup so that when the door is up, the ball hangs down and hits the front of the tractor; so after the hood goes in, but before the driver is inside the building. I would use a paddle rather than a ball. Or...

I immediately removed the cub cadet stickers, but I think it was a cub cadet 812 loader. The man was from Biddeford as I remember, had an excavating business with his father, and sold loaders on the side. I think its the color of yours that makes me think of Cadets.

kubotasam: I bought a new loader a few years ago from a gentleman in southern maine. it was meant for a cub cadet but fit my b7100 nicely. he was bringing them up from florida. since you are in maine, i wonder if there is a connection.

I just rewired a b5100. There isnt any fancy electronics here: it was a heavy gauge (black with red stripe) straight from the ignition to the first glow plug. THere is also a coil under the dashboard wired in parallel ( that was just black) that provides a visual clue as to the gp status...

Ive heard of tires freezing solid-- impossible to break the bead at that point. It was a disaster as I remember hearing. Id break the tires down and get the water out before it freezes solid. THeres a lot of pressure in ice expanding, and that sounds bad for the tire. THens theres the idea...
