B 21
I hAVE OWNED THIS TRACTOR FOR 15 YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS; VERY RELIABLE. hOWEVER THIS WINTER USING THE TRACTOR WITH A REAR SNOWBLOWER ATTACHEMENT THE TRACTOR MOVES MUCH SLOWER . fORWARD SPEED SEEMS NORMAL OR CLOSE TO IT BUT REVERSE IS PAINFULLY SLOWER

Have you looked to see if there is anything preventing the pedal or linkage from traveling full range of motion? Possible stick, mud, etc. jammed in linkage limiting movement in reverse direction.

i DID LOOK FOR SNOW AND ICE BLOCKAGE BUT BEING WINTER CONDITIONS I WONT RULE THIS OUT ; I AM WAITING FOR FAVORABLE CONDITIONS TO EXAMINE MORE CLOSELY

Please turn off the caps.

I'll second looking at all the linkage. On my BX24 I had a similar issue. There was a ball socket type connection that was held by a nut. The nut was coming loose. While both forward and reverse were affected, it was more apparent in the reverse mode. Tightened the nut up and haven't had any trouble since.
