Where did all the B-2030 front blades go for B7100s. I have searched for a month now and cannot find any for sale. Any ideas?

Have a B-219 FEL from a 1977 B7100 4x4 that I would like to sell or trade for a B-2030 front blade to fit the same tractor. Have been doing some searching and cannot find a blade for sale . The loader is complete and has the 2 lever control. I restored the tractor last winter but have not...

My B7100 gear drive that I have just restored is running hotter than I like to see at 220 to 225 while working the PTO hard with the tiller or bushog. Normal non PTO work temp. is 180 to 190. I haven't been able to find any max temp specs for this engine and I know that older model diesel...

May aquire a JD 48 backhoe unit soon if my bid is good enough to get one of the two for sale. Does anyone know if there is a subframe that would allow the fit without a lot of modification? The units are not being sold with the subframes included. My TC40 has a 16LA FEL subframe in place.

I have B7100 with FEL for a winter rebuild project. The machine has ag tires and I would like to switch to R4s. Will wheels for turf tires work for the switch?
