Another B7610 living the life of suburban luxury!

[dholly]

G'morning!

Duber - some great input, thanks. I did see the stiff throttle info and fix, but not the deck pin thread. I'll be watching and testing.

Dan - Point well taken as 4wd can give you a false sense of security. As a new operator, I buried my first tractor - a Ford 1620 w/ FEL and turfs - right to the frame in a soggy bog on my old property. Part of the learning curve I guess, but I NEVER want to deal with that PITA again. Thankfully, things appear to be much dryer at the new homestead.

Jim - I'm with you about the bucket hooks, standard operating equipment IMO. And, it really is one of the best 'little' things a dealer can offer to do gratis. Doesn't cost much in time or materials, and the usefullness and customer appreciation far exceed their investment.

Anxious, expectant father-to-be that I am, I might have to find some time today to check up on progress. If I do, I'll take the digicam and snap a few pics for posterity. Don't recall seeing any other crate or early assembly photos on TBN. Might be kinda neat...

welcome to the forum. Glad to have another WNY MEMBER. when do you get your machine?

 

[dholly]

Hello Frank, and thanks. Probably a week at least to get it together, tested and delivered. Must be delivered before 3/31 for the 0%/24mos., but of course I said the sooner, the better!

Sadly, it's still in the crate today /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif...

Thanks for the push Henro, HD alternator kit $160 installed. So far, a very positive dealer experience...

I too could not imagine my life without the B7610. It really does so much (and much more to come) around the house. I got the HD alternator also. Figured it be a good idea for flood lights, or a heater if I ever decide on getting a cab. The only downside I noticed, is that with the high output alt, it is fisically larger than the standard alt. It gets in the way when checking the oil, so I have to remoce the side panel to check it. On the dealers' floor, with the stock alternator, you could check it just by opening the hood. It's not a big deal, just one of those little things.

Cangrats, and enjoy the tractor.
