    Is there interest in a DIY Loader Kit for B6100/B7100?

    Not sure if this is the right area of the forum to post this. After a few years of fruitless searching for a loader for my B7100 that wasn't way too expensive, or just a pile of bent rust, I decided to design my own. It is a quick-attach loader, with a lifting height of 6 feet and a lift...

    L185dt

    So I've been hunting for a 7100 with FEL when this L185DT appeared locally. I'm waiting to hear back from the seller to go have a look at it. Apart from the steering box and front axle what are the usual spots to check for wear on these? $5800 sounds a bit high, I looked at a L1500DT with...

    B6100 Front wheel repair

    Oil pressure woes

    My little B6100 is having a bit of a fit, the low oil pressure light starts to flicker on when the tractor warms up. If I bring the rpm up a bit the light goes out, new oil and filter and no change so here's the question: What are the odds of it being a sticking pressure relief valve? Is it...
