The hst may require a longer subframe. There are extention plates available. I may have a set. Some basic length measurements should verify this or a look in the b219 manual. John in va

SOLD This is a Ford 515 3 point hitch pto driven cycle bar mower. The 515 is driven by a belt and wobble box so it mows at any angle (unlike a pit-man arm driven mower). It has a 6 foot bar and was used on my 16 hp B7100 Kubota diesel with no problems. Also with the purchase is 2 used cycle...

This is a 90's Goossen 3 point hitch PTO driven chipper shredder. It has a capacity of upto 4 inches on the chipper and 2.5 inches on the shredder. It has always been under roof and the chipper knives and shredders are in very good condition. I ran this chipper on my 16 hp B7100 Kubota diesel...

Success! I took it to the weld shop who had the larger oxy/acetylene tip and he was successful. Got the end of the lift arm red hot, and used a ball joint fork to break it loose. He had to heat it 3 times and drive the fork in from alternate sides to finally get it off. My wallet is $40...

I agree. This is a new to me tractor that has been abused and I am in the middle of restoring it. It has a lot of life left in it. John in VA

You're right, we aren't that close. I do have a bearing separator that I have considered using. John in VA

Here is the status. Removed the rear wheel, ROPs, and fender. Then we removed the right plate that holds the pin that is stuck in the lift arm. The oxy/acetylene tip I have wouldn't heat the swivel enough for any progress. I am soaking it in my electrolytic rust removal tonight to see if...

I am trying to remove the lift arms from my B2150. I need to work on the lift brackets for the MMM. Both arms (ie, the swivel balls) at the rear diff case are rusted solid to the pin coming out to the case. I have soaked them over night with WD40 and expect I will have to heat them today to...

A few years ago, I decided to powder coat my snow blower. In the process, the powder coater said it was costly to change colors in his booth, so I should do all I wanted in one shot. So, I took my snow blower, tiller, FEL and dozer apart, had all of the pieces sand blasted and powder coated...

D2Cat, I used something similar, called JASCO Prep and Primer for rusted and bare metal. If I remember right, it has phosphoric acid in it for converting the rust back to a hard material. After using the JASCO, I am going to try the Fluid-Film. I got it at O'Rilleys for $12.50. John in VA

Pipewelder, if you will notice on the ends of the auger shaft there are bolt holes in the bearing plate. The bearing is off-center in this plate and when you turn the plate it will loosen or tighten the chain. Once you get the chain where you want it, offset the opposite side the same way so...

I am in the process of restoring a RC72b deck for a B2150. The shafts for adjusting the deck wheel height have to be left bare so they will slide up and down. Is there any type of conditioning that can be done to the metal surface to prevent them from rusting. I don't want to paint or plate...

This is an update on the B2150 starter solenoid repair. It only lasted a few months. When I took it apart again, you could see where it was arching. What I found out was the cleaning and removal of the pits in the copper thinned the side contacts enough that the copper contact washer between...

I got the Speedi-Sleeve made by SKF for a 20 mm shaft, 99078. It worked well. The sleeve was slightly larger that the inside diameter of the needle bearing, so I put the top casting with the needle bearing on first, used RTV on the surface to be sleeved and put the sleeve, seal and snap ring...

Thanks for the advice. I will probably use JB weld. I definitely don't want it to weep under the sleeve and it will help with any the rust pits. John in VA

Has anyone tried any of the surface repairs for seals, like SKF's Speedi-Sleeve? http://www.skf.com/group/products/seals/industrial-seals/power-transmission-seals/wear-sleeves/skf-speedi-sleeve/index.html The steering shaft is 20 mm, so I am thinking of ordering the SKF CR 99087 Speedi-Sleeve...

Bulldog, it went just as you said, with one major exception. When I took the top casting off and looked at the shaft where the seal rides, it was rough. It looks like water had gotten down into the steering column and rusted the seals seating surface. That is why it was leaking so much. I...

I need a deck wheel and left side stay for an RO72-B deck. Are there any used ones out there?

One other problem I have to solve on the new to me B2150 is a cracked outer split rim on the front. It has a 6 bolt pattern. Is Robs weld repair in the following link still the best way to go vs paying $100 for the outer spit rim...
