I've got a 124 w/ creeper that was my grandfathers. No engine. PM me for details.

I don't use a Biocide, the only additives I add are Powerservice (White in the Winter and Silver in the Summer). https://powerservice.com/psp_product/diesel-fuel-supplement-cetane-boost/ https://powerservice.com/psp_product/diesel-kleen-cetane-boost/

FWIW - the B2601 does not have a DPF. No extra emissions crap to deal with on that machine.

Thanks for the responses everyone! Once I have a chance to dig into it I'll post back with results.

Hi all, I have a B2301 with just under 100 hours on it. My old reliable grease gun finally gave up the ghost, so I just got a new one. First time greasing up the loader two of the zerks would not accept grease. I tried adjusting the fitting on the grease gun to no avail. Can the zerks be...

This is what I often struggle with. Since the tilt is inline with the tractor front to back, not on the vertical of the blade, when the blade is angled you have to have the tilt in a specific position. Otherwise either the left bottom corner will be higher than the right (or vice-versa). For me...

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Thanks for all the tips everyone! Hopefully I can get those little buggers out before they cause any damage and keep them out for good.

Yesterday I went out and started up my B2301, which had been sitting in an instant garage and two mice ran out from behind the instrument cluster. After taking a look it seems that they built a nest between the gas tank and the panel. Any advice on taking apart the panel to access and remove...

In the current position the blade cannot trip and will act like a fixed blade.

Any tips on getting the sand salt mix not to bind up in the bin? My sander seems to open up a little cavern around the agitator causing lack of flow. Granted the material I get from the highway department isn’t exactly moisture free.

Hi everyone! First off let me say what a great site this is, I've been lurking for a while now, and I'll be heading to the dealer in the next week or two and I like walking in knowing as much as I can. I have 8 wooded acres in upstate NY, with about an acre and a half that gets mowed, along...
