    Tires and 4wd Lead/Lag - B2150hst/B8200

    The rear tires are the originals from around 1995 and are looking very old with lots of cracks and splits. Despite no cords showing, I'd feel better/safer replacing them given the tractor is used on very steep slopes and hills. After hours of research and learning about Lead/Lag, I "think" I...

    Hydro Filter Change Only

    Have searched a lot and still not sure what others do. The question is, how long do you keep the same hydro filter installed? The manual calls for hydro filter and fluid change every 300 hours. That could be 6+ years in my case. I called Donaldson and they said their filters are designed...

    B2150hst 3pt Lift Height Adjustment

    When raising the rotary cutter to 1/2~2/3 or more the hydraulics start to scream a little, make more noise, as if its straining. Their is ample room for the cutter to be raised more as the cutters drive-line is several inches form the top of the cutter. This happens even with pto disengaged...

    Loader Wiper Seals

    The wiper seals on my Woods 1006 are floating and not attached to the cylinder housing. They are smaller then the ID of the cylinder housing and not pressed fitted. The only way I can think of making them stay inside the cylinder housing is to glue, rtv, them but that may only be a temporary...

    Sealing the Propeller Shaft Ball Joint

    The propeller shaft ball joint is not completely sealed when assembled and installed. The four rails/channels that the four ball bearings ride in are open and can allow dirt and debris inside. Or, can allow grease to escape. The ball joint on my tractor was completely dry and void of any grease...

    Removed the front drive shaft on a B2150hst 4wd and thought it had a bad, lose, rear ujoint. It turns out the ujoint is good and the play is in the yoke and the shaft. Both yoke and shaft look good, no obvious wear or tear, but it is lose. I read another thread with the same concern. That member...
