B2150 LA350A Loader Hydraulic Hose

The throw bearing replacement requires the tractor to be broken into two parts. You always rerplace the water pump at the same time. But that job is probably one of the biggest repair jobs fro that tractor.

The stinkin' shop had it for 2 months.

The tires were about $1800 because those Rear Firestone tires are expensive. I went with Carlisle for the front.

I have a tiller, snowthrower, single bottom plow, cultivator, FEL and the 5' belly mower.

Last season I upgraded to the high output alternator and bought some Rigid D2 LED lights.

The only other thing I wanted was a Post hole digger. I missed a super deal on one last year and have given up on getting one.

I have hand dug all the holes I need for now.

I'd like to sell it or trade it in for a B3030/3000 with a cab, but my better half won't allow it.

Ok so the tires were included in the $3800 that makes more sense now. As far as knowing what is involved, I have made that repair many times, and I certainly have never replaced a water pump while it is apart because there is no reason to be there. 2 months is also ridiculous maybe a week, that's a 12 hour repair tops to replace the clutch and release bearing.

No.. the tires were not part of that cost. The Throw-out bearing job was $3800 and the tires were $1800.

Ya. I know I got ripped, but that job was beyond my capabilities.

Oh man I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like if they were tearing it down to where it made sense to replace the water pump they were taking that tractor a lot further apart to do that job than it needed to be. I hope it has been problem free since and at least you can find some satisfaction in that.

brain55,

Yes... thank goodness... it's been running fine since the big job.

That's the first major thing I ever had to get done on the B2150. It's been rock solid otherwise.

Tim sorry about the cost on the clutch job I would have had to "GO OFF" on somebody. LOL. I just got my axle seal in and now I need to bolt the axle/housing back on the tractor.
