    4wd tire size (again)

    Please forgive me for hijacking this thread, but it touches on what I was just getting ready to ask in a new thread. I have a B2910 and just got new front tires/wheels for it. The new tire/wheel is 2 inches bigger than the old (the old was 23x8.5-12 and the new is 23x8.5-14) The rear tire...

    R 4 tires with rims

    Do you still have these? And if so, are they only going as a set? I need a front or two, but I don't really need a rear.

    Power Port?

    Hey folks. I've been wanting to add a power port to my B2910. I like to listen to Slacker Radio through my bluetooth hearing protection while I'm mowing, but it tends to eat my phone battery. So I was considering adding a charging port to the tractor. Does anyone have a suggestion as to...

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    So I came to the tractor this morning and checked the radiator core, and there was indeed some blockage. So I sprayed it all out real good got it all nice and clean, then fired it up. I ran it for an hour, maybe an hour and a half, and it still got warm, but never even approached overheating. So...

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    Actually, there is a slight drop in RPMs when I engage the deck. I usually put the needle a smidge past the PTO hash mark on the tach, and when I engage the deck, it drops to a smidge below the hash mark. I don't know how much of a drop that is, I've never done the math. I always just...

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    You're talking about immediately behind the fan. I'm not all that familiar with the term "core" as it relates to a radiator. I assume you're talking about the "finny" part. :D OK. I'll do that, too. Thanks.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    I believe the fan belt to be good and tight, and the fins and screens appear to be pretty clean, unless they get dirty somewhere that can't be easily seen. I am pretty diligent about my maintenance.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    Just to reply to some things that have been suggested. I don't have any issue with flushing again. However, there was coolant in the radiator when I flushed it, not straight water. And I'd be willing to bet it was the coolant that was in it when it was new. Just a feeling I have.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    Hello again, everyone. I apologize for having been away for so long. I hadn't gotten any reply notifications, so I didn't even realize anyone had replied since my last post. Here's what I've had going since my last visit. I removed the thermostat and threw it into a pan of water, as the...

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    I have no issues replacing the thermostat. I'm just really hoping to not have to replace the water pump.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    Now I'm starting to get outside my comfort zone. I know where the thermostat is, and how to get to it, but I don't know how to check it. And I am completely clueless as to the core.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    The only reason I can't say it's been in the red is because I haven't allowed it to get that hot. It has gotten up TO the red twice in recent days, but I've caught it both times and throttled back before it got INTO the red. I flushed the coolant earlier today and put a 50-50 mix in, and have...

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    You're right, based on these photos. I forgot to mention that if I'd run it longer, it most certainly would have run up into the red. But as you can see, I was almost out of fuel, so I snapped the photo at that point. Sorry for the omission before.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    Yeah. It's a new construction, so I'm working at getting the grass under control. It's not all thick, just in places. Even in the not-so-thick places, it tends to get warm, though not quite as warm.

    B2910 Weird Overheating Symptoms

    Hello all. I searched around for a thread that dealt with a similar situation as mine, but didn't turn anything up. If it's been covered before, I apologize. As stated in the title of the thread, I have a B2910. I noticed recently while brush hogging, my temp gauge all the way up to the edge...
