Hello all, Bill here. New member and new (to me) tractor owner. I acquired a pretty well used B6000 with a blade on it. The motor was torn down already in an attempt to rebuild it. The PO said they were told you couldn't get parts for it. I have acquired the service manual, parts manual, and repair manual.
So, I am faced with rebuilding the motor. Does anyone have a list of common parts I need to rebuild this motor? I haven't been able to go through the full repair manual yet on this.
I am pretty sure it is a gray market tractor, but I honestly don't know how to tell as some folks say not all of them where gray. I am OK with it either way. I have been wanting a tractor and this one pretty much fell into my hands. I would love to restore it. It will be a challenge though. Although I am somewhat mechanically inclined, I have never rebuilt a motor, especially a diesel, and one that was already disassembled to boot.
I am not sure if it has a PTO reverser on it or not. I will pick it up tomorrow and bring it home and start in on it. I will try to share info here on what I find and if any of you can help me it would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Bill
