Do I need BIGGER tools??

[Reg]

For a such a small tractor you won't need the "BIG" sizes, metric yes, big no.

There is a need for 15/16 open ended wrenches on hydraulic lines and fittings, a minor annoyance since a lot of "sets" jump from 7/8 to 1".
Get two, one to turn with, one to hold the other side with.
Don't expect adjustable "crescent" wrenches to get in there - and in any case remember that although the outer diameter is 15/16 it is HOLLOW and a relatively soft metal, so the good fit of solid wrenches is worth doing it right.

I find I can do the hydraulics with crescent. Though solid would be better no doubt, and I probably will get them for the hydraulics now that I think about it.

I bough a set of harbor freight huge crescents - 12-18" or something, and find I use them a fair bit on the tractor. Nice to have jaws 2"+

FN,

You should know by now that its the prefect excuse to get more tools!

I decided that I "needed" an air powered grease gun for all the zerks on the bucket alone! Justified and done!!

I've been thinking hard about this one. I'm really close to getting one. It sucks to grease the tractor by hand.

others have stated wait till you get your tractor then look around. I was able to service my BX with standard tools I had, 3/8 and 1/2" sockets. metric and standard wrenches and a crescent wrench. The only tool I had to buy was a 30MM socket for the MMM to remove blades and a trailer ball wrench to service the HST. Your B machine is probably the same way, can be serviced with regular tools, just need a couple oddball stuff.
