I’m getting a B2100 for free. I just have to haul it off. I’ve only seen pictures but it looks to be in good shape. Any tips for some quick things to try to start it? I can winch it on the trailer if needed, but it would be easier to start it. I was thinking take a fresh battery and a gallon of diesel and just bleed the fuel system.
Starting a B2100
- Thread starter Agen14
- Start date
Were it not for cooler weather coming in on Monday I'd winch it on and bring it home. You can try bleeding and starting. If it's geared rather than HST, it can be pull started. I have two suggestions. #1 Don't keep grinding on starter without giving it a break to cool down. #2 Don't use starting fluid,reason beiing glow plugs can ignite starting fluid before piston(s) reach top dead center resulting in $$$ engine damage.
Congrats on your new tractor.

Drain all fuel, motor oil, coolant. hydraulic oil including the full front axle.
Then new filters and fluid all the way around.
The reason to drain everything, is if water got into any part of it, it can do damage to so many parts.
It's a little expensive but worth it!
