Noticed just today that my front wheels were way out of alignment. When I attempted to adjust the tie rod I could not get one of the locking nuts to shift. I then realised that the tie rod had been bent rearwards at some time in the tractor's long life. Can the tie rod be effectively...

Just realised I had a sizeable hole in my B7100's lower muffler. Is this likely to cause back pressure and explain blow by from the rocker cover ventilation pipe? The tractor has done maybe 3000hrs but still starts first time and is not going through any oil.Just a lot of blow by......

I submitted a number of posts last week that have disapeared. I just noticed there seems to be no posts at all recorded on this forum between the above dates.

Does someone have the front and rear wheel nut torque specs for the B7100

I cannot do any further adjustment on the old girl's brakes. I plan on buying new brake shoes but wondering if other parts of the brake setup are likely to be significantly worn e.g. the cam.

Just when I've saved up the money to buy some new aftermarket hubs for the old girl, all 5 online suppliers have been out of stock for the last month or so. What's going on? Anyone know where they are currently available Part No. H6640-17300

The plastic stop/sealer on my dipstick has become loose and can slide on the metal diptick guage. Now I did crudely fix the plastic seal on with a small clamp but was not sure of the original correct position on the dipstick.This, of course, is important in order to have the correct reading on...

When topping up the B7100 after a hard and hot day's slashing should you use the usual 50:50 mix of water and coolant or should you be only topping up for water . I seem to recall reading in an old post that you may be , over time, increasing the percentage of coolant in the mix

Without ever having an Operators Manual I have, in the past, changed my transmission/hydraulic oil by draining from the plug at the bottom of the transmission case. When I did this I could only drain about 8.5 litres out. There is supposed to be a capacity 11.5 litres (written on plate near...

Has anyone shared my joy in replacing this hard to get at seal in the driveline tunnel. I thought it was hard enough getting the old one out but it is proving even more awkward to replace it. I have taken the clutch housing off in order to get better a better approach at the seal but still no...

I am just about to reassemble my b7100 which is split in three. Amongst many other parts, I have repaced the throw out bearing but not the holder. The new bearing can be pressed, by hand onto the holder spigot but it can also be pulled off, without too much effort, by hand ,also; so it's not...

In the parts manual, my B7100 throw out bearing holder is shown as having 2 small internal seals and a third larger seal. I have pulled my thrust bearing holder out of the the clutch housing and what appears to be the thin remnant of the larger seal seem to be stuck on the rear edge of the...

My tractor is split with thrust bearing holder removed but it looks like it's not possible to slide the drive shaft ,with ball coupling attached, out through the bellhousing. So I am looking at removing the coupling from the drive shaft by working underneath the tractor through the access holes...

Just replaced the pressure plate, friction plate and throw out bearing but am getting some rattling/spinning noises from my clutch on disengagement. At times it is catching when I change gears. I thought it was a clutch travel adjustment issue and have adjusted settings several times; this...

just put a new clutch and throw out bearing in and I am now adjusting the clutch pedal rod, travel nut and safety switch nut. Am I correct in my understanding that : The" play" is the movement in the pedal (and throw out bearing holder) before the throw out bearing engages with the pressure...

I have just replaced some engine head bolts and retightened. I am now about to adjust the valve clearaces. The manual says to do this for each valve when the engine is at TDC of combustion stroke for that cylinder. The marks showing on flywheel are TC 1, TC2 and TC3. Do I align the mark to the...

I have a snapped head bolt ( one of three) that poses a bit of a problem. Previous owner (12 years ago) did a bodgy job trying to remove it and what is left is a hole about 7mm deep and 4mm wide in a 7mm bolt. In the past I have used an "Easy Out" reverse thread extractor for this sort...

I just accomplished a tractor split but do you think I can track down a fuel leak! There is about one drop every 5 seconds of diesel that appears to be coming from the bottom of the lowest of the 3 copper washers at the eye joint on connection to the injector pump housing. ( that's a mouthful)...

I am now pretty sure my fuel leak , at the the fuel line eyelet/ injector pump housing, must be coming from a crack in the eyelet at the base of the fuel hose nossle ( which the fuel hose clamps on to). I found some small pieces of old, age hardened plastic like material (maybe Araldite)...

I've tried the grease gun trick to put pressure on the back of the bearing but the pressure pushes the tape, that is wrapped around the coupler, back and grease oozes out. I notice this bronze bearing has a split (like a roll pin) and a hole that is positioned at the bottom. The old seal...
