Seems that this is a common interest. Made some front tire chains with the old snowblower chain and the left over new chain from the box of 10ft I ordered. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2711&d=1291826547

This frame goes into the 2" receiver hitch in my homemade draw bar thing. The basket holds two 100 pound iron blocks, so while this is four parts in all, it breaks down fast, no more stuck backing up a 2WD B6000 with a front snow blower. Picture is worth a 1000 words, I think this is one...

Drooling over this machine! The battery will the pay the price for the aux lights drawing more amps than the alternate cranks out. Be prepared to park this on a battery tender after doing night work. This is the case for my B6000 with two "fog" lights on the fenders, one forward and one...

Taking this one into a different direction. Will an engine from a B6000E go into a B6000DT, basically is the engine block the same on both the 2WD and 4WD tractors for axle/frame mounts and bell housing pattern? Has anyone done the transformation, and what issues did you have? I don't have...

LMFAO Use diesel fuel and an a cleaning bucket, tail gate is a good work bench for this job. An old tooth brush and a screw driver, plan on getting dirty before anything gets clean, use an oil change tray and a coffee can to soak the filter and poor the diesel back inside the housing. The...

Let me say this about that, the B6000 will pull anything until the chained up tires spin with the diff locked up and sometimes those wheels loose traction only because the 3 point hitch is digging in and the front lights are aiming straight up ;l Go easy on the clutch, she crashes down hard on...

Anything is possible, if you have enough determination. However, first searching for the simple solution is a wise choice. I could have bought a reverser box, somehow, someplace....But that would have cost more than the tiller! I later learned that the gear box could have been reversed by...

Here is a home made rear weight frame. This goes into a home made 3 point hitch frame for my 2" hitch box connector. The weight frame is just angle iron, welded onto a 2" bar. The weight blocks are iron but were intially just going to be 4 solid concrete blocks, but the steel was free to me...

Some home made skids, used 1x1 box tube to gain elevation out of the gravel. So after there is a snow pack, and lowered all the way down, still 1" of base under the scrapper edge. I'm hearing much less gravel going out the shoot.

Not so sure you need OEM parts to get the front PTO. Find the electric clutch unit and work backward into the crank shaft or pulley. The lovejoy is a wear point, this is good, you don't eat up spline connections and provides a little dampening for the engine with your attachments stall out...

lost his nuts hittin stones an sheep junkys are all brass and no brains

There will always be cheap beat up tractors, everything gets worn out in time. Guys who know the value of a hard earned buck will always buy worn out tractors for bottom dollar prices. While big new tractors are a nice, it always comes down to two things. What can I afford? Got some cash, not...

This baby has a 16hp Briggs GAS Engine. Locally for sale for less than you can imagine. Hope yall get a kick out of this. Some people are obviously turned orange with envy, or just real sick...

I think the B series are too small to log with, unless your using an arch. If you have rock and hills where your working, I'd look into a winch.

YIKES! :eek: That’s one heck of an expensive piece of metal. Some of these old B6000's are purchased for near that same price, or part's tractors can be for that amount. Some are just plain abandoned and can be just dragged in from the cold. I'd bet I could install a full up hydraulic...
