I just acquired a deere AMT 626- one of those funny looking 4 wheel in the back, one wheel front - gizmos. My nearby dealer is happy to take it in for service, but I would like to solve this myself- I think the centrifugal clutch is out of adjustment...I have the idle set very low (audibly low...

Someone on the forum here bought an inexpensive tool or adapter that will let you load your own tires with washer fluid....any help? I assume it is simply a garden hose to air nozzle adapter? I already have a pump, just need the adaptor (and any helpful hints!) Also, anyone fill the front...

I am hoping to find a new set of decals/stickers for my B7100DT - anyone heard of a source?

Please forgive me for posting down here, but you folks on the Yanmar forum are much more mechanically inclined than the people on the major brand boards above....I have just purchased an early 80s kubota 4wd 7100, very similar to a Yanmar 1500 or 1700...perhaps you can help.... My new to me...

My new to me forlorn B7100 has a strange gear noise in 3rd (the highest) gear only- a chunga chunga vibration that varies with RPM. It happens in either range, and being in or out of 4wd has no effect. The other 2 gears and reverse are silent, except for the normal gear whine in reverse. Every...

A friend of mine pulled this walk behind tractor from the weeds, complete with a 60's era B&S engine and a bunch of attachments. he is now restoring...the name plate says Might Man Garden Tacoma Washington....anyone have any info? original engine, specs etc would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought (perhaps rescued is the proper term) a neglected B7100 DT as my next project tractor. In general the machine runs well, drives well despite the rusty appearance. I have rejuvenated 5 older compact diesels to date, this being the poorest in initial condition. On to the questions...

I have succeeded in dismantling my 370 beaver, replacing fluids belts filters, and completely grinding and repainting my beaver. looks great. the problem is that in the process I bent up one of the little wire clip retainers that holds the air cleaner end cap on...the air cleaner housing is in...

The mitsubishi board is really quiet lately, so I thought I would throw this over here where some tractor-restorer types hang. Please don't take offense to my Mitsu question (!) I need to get my steering wheel off on my S370 beaver....got the big bolt off inside the steering wheel, but that...

I need to get my steering wheel off on my S370 beaver....got the big bolt off inside the steering wheel, but that does not release it....any help? I am hesitant to pull up with much force, dont want to break a good steering wheel.

Last nite, while brush hogging in 90 degree temps with 48" hog, my red temp lite came on just after hitting a clump of dirt that nearly stalled the tractor. Questions- Was the near-stall related to the temp lite? The grill screen was clear, fan spinning, and coolant full and fresh (last I...

Any ideas? Willing to pay fair price for a manual - copied or electronic is fine.... smahler@partnerstrust.com Thanks

I have a 25 yr old Mitsubishi Beaver compact which has been a handy and reliable worker for me over the last couple years. Last nite, while plowing snow in -5 F temps, I noticed a couple times when the engine lugged a bit (letting out clutch in high gear) a couple sparks shot out of the...

So I was doing some last minute brush mowing last saturday before a haunted halloween hayride deep into my woods. it was cold and off/on rainy. On my way back to the house I have to cross my big stream - on the sturdy bridge I built 3yrs ago. Bridge is 16' accross, 5' wide with a center support...

I purchased a FarmPro 4' cutter from Homier last week, travelling show - anyhow, all is well except that there is a pretty loud howl to the cutter- in fact when you turn the shaft by hand there is a tick tick feel - and if I turn it by hand as fast as I can, a rough growl is audible. At PTO...

I just bought a super cheap Farm Pro 4' brush cutter, and noticed that when you turn the shaft by hand, there was a bit of 'ticking' in the movement....no surprise, when I spin it to PTO speed, I get a pretty good howl - more than my KK 5 '. I did fill the gearbox with oil, and greased all...

Another question about my 'new' Satoh Beaver. It has a Johnson Workhorse 10 FEL which has the traditional two lever loader control (it has downpressure etc) Anyhow, on to my question. I have an increasing leak in the valve/levers control box (dont really know what it is called) which leads me...

I have an old Satoh Beaver with a Johnson Workhorse 10 FEL which has the traditional two lever loader control (it has downpressure etc) Anyhow, on to my question. I have an increasing leak in the valve/levers control box (dont really know what it is called) which leads me to believe I have...

I tried this on the Mitsu forum, but it is a quiet spot lately.....so my apologies. My Mistu/Satoh Beaver (370) 3pt lift seems too fast, very jerky - much faster than any other tractor I have owned. I dont see a flow adjustment under the seat, is there anything external that can be adjusted...

My Beaver (370) 3pt lift seems too fast, very jerky - much faster than any other tractor I have owned. I dont see a flow adjustment under the seat, is there anything external that can be adjusted? Back blading is very tricky as I can only lift in 3-4inch jerks - shakes the whole tractor. On the...

I have a S 370 Beaver that I want to repaint - any ideas on the correct white and blue? Process of elimination will be an expensive route to go....have you seen how many shades of dark blue there are?

Anyone know where I can get an owners manual (or other documentation) for a Johnson Workhorse model 10 loader? Thanks

Two basic questions - anyone know of a good black paint for a worn (but good) steering wheel? This wheel is smooth and free of cracks, but is faded from years of use. Would rather repaint than replace. Second- I am in need of a few plastic knobs for levers (throttle etc) missing the end knobs...

I just acquired a clean well maintained Beaver, but with the temps in the 30's here it is harder to start than my other 2cyl diesels. Here is where things stand: With my battery charger/jumper hooked up (to ensure I am not suffering a bad battery) I had to do 2 rounds of glow plug for about 1...

Looking at a Ford 1200 4wd; wondering if anyone has any info - I know the HP and weight, etc - wondering about lift capacity, parts avail, etc. Also found a Ford 1100 - seems the 1100 is slightly newer, with the headlights in the fenders, and the 1100 actually looks a little bigger...? Thanks...

I am looking at a Ford 1200 4wd, would like to know what Shib model this lines up with. Frankly, I can find more technical detail on the web about a grey Shib than an old Ford. Thanks

Questions about older \'botas for sale I am seriously looking at a 2wd L235. I have checked the specs at machinerylink, but would like other 'soft' information...does it have position control? Gauges or idiot lights? Foot throttle? I used to have a 78 B6000E so I am familiar with old kubotas...

Thanks for all your help so far with my 'new' 2n. I am closing in on the carb-gov. problem - so close I can taste it. Here's my question: I took the gov apart again and removed all washers above the thruster. bingo, I now have all the power in the world! BUT, when I throttle down - it abruptly...

I think I am wearing on the patience of the folks at a few of the other vintage tractor forum, so I thought I would throw one out here. Bought 2n in nice looking, running (?) shape. Has basically one problem: after 20 minutes of running or so, i get into a stumble/ rough running mode. The first...

I am about to make the leap from jap compacts to a red white and blue utility tractor, and leading the race is a 1700hr '65 Ford 3000. This is a basic model - no ps, no live pto, straight 4spd. Any thoughts? I am thinking I can get it for $4,000 - original good paint, but certainly not parade...

I am looking at a '82 Allis Chalmers 5030; which is made by Hinomoto. I am familiar with most of the specs, but I need to know the width of the tractor (so I bring the right trailer). Anyone got an idea? I just sold a Massey 210-4 wich i believe is mechanically identical to the AC 5020 - do you...

How do I mark my classified ad as \'sold\'? I can never remember how to get from my personal home page into my ads running to modify them. Thanks for the help - this site is GREAT!!!!

I have an older KK 5' hog in very good condition with a tailwheel that curiously does not always track correctly. I will try to explain what it does: first, on this model the tail wheel shaft is not perfectly vertical - it leans forward 15 or 20 degrees. The result is that when the wheel swivels...

I would like the board's opinion on the following options for those looking to get dirty for small dough $$$ For example, the guy or gal looking for a tractor with an implement or 2 for less than $5,000. We all recognize this means compromises, but which is best? 1) Used older iron. (Fords N, 3...

My local TSC just got a shipment of XB series attachments from king kutter - supposed to be geared toward compact tractors. I am in the market for a cheap cutter - anyone have pricing on these yet?

I am on my second season with a king kutter rear scoop, and I continue to have trouble 'dumping' with a full load of dirt. Despite my efforts to keep the latch mechanism bathed in grease, it still takes a huge effort to pull up on the rope. I have actually broken my rope twice (will get stronger...

I am lost with 12volt wiring. I have an '84 massey compact with headlights, and two rear lights- a blinker and spotlight. The spotlight did not work upon purchase. Here are the facts, I would really appreciate some help: 1) The wire to the spotlight was in terrible shape, so I pulled it all...

I am looking potentially at a D2050 - have only a rear shot. Anyone have a front shot or know of one on a website? Thanks

I am saddened to report that there are theives lurking around our beloved tractorbynet classifieds. I have happily posted ads over the past year or so with good results, meeting nice honest people looking to buy used equipment. However this last month i have recieved three responses from scam...

Always buying and selling, I have found an otherwise promising Bolens G212 for sale with a reported leaking rear wheel grease seal. Having never repaired anything like this, I am wondering how hard the job is, and what is involved. Also curious about finding the parts needed. Need to decide if...

We are forecasted to get 10-16 inches tonite, and the temp will be well below zero before factoring the 25mph gusts. Yuk. Factoring out operator discomfort, should I fire up the diesel to plow, or should I wait until warmer temps- say 5 degrees above? My tractor is a MF 210-4 2cyl diesel with...

Attached is a picture of a Bolens branded tractor that bears resemblance to the Iseki TU series tractors. Anyone know the Bolens crossover model? I am going next week to (hopefully) purchase either a TS or TU model Iseki, and it is nice to know the Bolens match for each model in regards to parts...

I am getting close to purchasing an Iseki from Zephyr Knoll Farms in Upstate NY. Anyone deal with Chuck Mochamer? Anyhow, I am faced with the decision between a 4wd TS1610F or a 2wd TU1900. The TU1900 is a bit cheaper, but it is of course 2wd. The jump to a 4wd TU series is a bit steep for the...

I have a 78 Kubota B6000 which has a counter-clockwise rotating PTO. I have been told on this board that there used to be a reverser kit (a gearbox that bolts on the PTO) available. Hub City no longer makes the kit - does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks for your help!

A while back I posted some questions about the thermo-syphon cooling in my 78 Kubota, and now I know why I ran low on coolant - a pin hole leak in the top front of the radiator. I will have to remove the hood to see the leak, but once I get in there - is there a cement I can buy to repair the...

There is a Deutz Allis 5215 for sale on the classified section of TBN, and it happens to be located 10 miles from my house! Any comments on this tractor? I understand that some (all?) D-A diesels are air cooled....other than increased noise, what does this really mean to the user? I currently...

Since you folks are the pros at vintage compacts, I posted this here - I have a 78 Kubota B6000E with thermo syphon cooling. Last night while mowing in cool temperatures, steam began blowing out the overflow valve. After a quick idle and shutdown, steam blew at high pressure for 2 minutes...

I have a 78 B6000E with thermo syphon cooling. Last night while mowing in cool temperatures, steam began blowing out the overflow valve. After a quick idle and shutdown, steam blew at high pressure for 2 minutes. After some time to cool, I inspected the radiator (no leaks, fan belt fine) and...

I am new to this part of tractorbynet - and I like it over here! I currently have a 78 Kubota B6000E US model, which seems to be exactly like the 4-digit Yanmars you folks describe: 2cyl, thermo-siphon cooling, man trans, 3 spd pto, etc. I love my odd little tractor, except that it has a...

I have a 78 B6000E with a counter rotating PTO. I would like a 48" brush hog, which leaves me with two options: 1) Anyone know where I could buy one 2) Could I reverse the blade on a regular KingKutter hog and simply run it backwards? Thanks for your opinions!

Just had a 50x70x7' pond dug, full of water (muddy) from nearby stream and springs. Now to bring in fish - can anyone give advice, resources for how to balance fish population? How long should I wait to start throwing in sunfish? just kidding. Thanks for any and all help

I have a late 70s B6000E in mint condition that seems to always run a little smokey. Under normal conditions you cannot see the blue tint to the exhaust, but on a sunny afternoon it is quite visible. The machine runs great, and I am told by the previous owner that the injectors are only a year...

Since I cant find an automotive tech forum as good as this tractor forum (suggestions appreciated) I will post here: my newest toy for the farm is an '88 GMC 6000 medium duty truck with a gas 366 V8 carb. Problem: it starts hard; fires just enough to disengage the starter-takes about 2mins of...

Anyone have any experience with a pull behind brush mower (the type with a stand alone gas engine)? I have a little bota B6000E with a 48" MMM. Wonderful little rig, but I need a larger brush hog to clear my endless meadows. The B6000 is only rated for a very small hog, and it would have to be...

This is the first winter for me and my B6000E, and so far it has started reasonably well in the mid 20s with LONG glow plug times. My machine has a compression release knob, and I am looking for advise on how best to use it. Should I pull it out while cranking, and push it in just before she...

This probably sounds crazy, but I have a 40 acre farm that I currently rent out for feed corn harvesting. I make absolutely nothing on the rent. I would like to begin, on a small scale, raising cattle or possibly sheep. I would only hope to break even, and have a bit of fun. I have some...

I am looking at a clean B6000 that I found on the classifieds here. Very nice, stored indoors. Can anyone tell me about this model. I dont know the age, hp, track record, etc. I did read somewhere that another poster has a grey market B7000 - is the B6000 a US model? Can parts be found?
