I know what you're saying, and also realize you said it was only your experience. However, I think it's misleading to compare a machine that is out of acceptable specifications up as an example of why not to buy a particular type of transmission. I'm confident that no manufacturer's service...

While the principles of internal combustion engines are straightforward, I honestly think that having a lot of experience with high-performance gasoline engines almost hinders the ability to work on these compact diesels. They are both extremely precisely built engines, but in fundamentally...

Since you got sparks from the electric system, I would re-check eachnglow plug and verify continuity and voltage. You're fortunatenin that you know the thing runs. There is light at the end of the tunnel! I have had decent luck starting worn out diesels by getting a hair drier and...

You have probably already done it, but this is a really bad idea, just for the record. At least you are using the drawbars. I have done a similar thing to test the pulling force on two of my own tractors, but they were set up so no operator was on the tractor, and they could be placed into...

What exactly are you wanting? I have box blades in 42, 48, 60, and 74 inch widths. Mounting points are at standard class I specifications (26" apart on the pins of 7/8" diameter, and a top pin of 3/4" 18" above), except on the two smaller units, where I have reversed the lower pins so they face...

There is a mark on the bowl to indicate how much. Maybe 100 CCs or so. Clean it out and you will see two marks, fill it to the lower one. Lower arms are available from a variety of sources, including eBay and farm equipment retailers. Service Department Vic may sell them. I would start there.

Welcome to the forum! Your B6000 is a cute but very tough machine. It will work hard and do a lot, in spite of how tiny it is. The tillers come bolted onto the rear of these tractors. They can be removed. Somewhere on here there is a photo of how it looks. The PTO shaft on these is one of the...

I think this should be priority one. Check for any other missing components, and verify the one's you have are correctly in place. I would not use a regular class one top link on a backhoe. Ever. The manufacturer provided an additional, adjustable, custom set of brackets to attach as a top...

That is the critical bit of information. So buying the output shaft for a B6000 should let him swap output shafts and have a compatible tractor. The spline adapters I have seen for sale are for 18 spline tractors, so this would also let you run an adapter to power any other implements you find...

The two point tillers are nice because they fit so snugly to the back of the tractor. It seems like the B6000 came with 10 spline and 18 spline PTO shafts. I don't know if there is a year break, an update, or a North American market distinction, or what. No matter which way they came, you should...

I have a 36" Gannon rollover scraper that came with my B6000. It is too light to do any real work, and the way it is constructed precludes adding any additional weight. It is well constructed and strong, just too light for reak dirt work. It would excel in horse arenas, composted gardens, or...

The picture didn't attach; sorry.

I have seen, somewhere, a thread about a similar machine. To the right collector, this may be an appealing item. It is listed for "best offer" on Craigslist Phoenix. Apparently these were imported by McCulloch in the mid to late 60s, before Kubota entered the market...

I'm glad you got your tractor fixed. I was referring to the cursing in the prior post. It seems unnecessary to swear at us. You knew you were doing, so "cleverly" got it past the filters by substituting a visually similar character. It just seems rude. It's not my board, I don't make rules...

Don't take this wrong, but I expect the trouble is in the new addition of a front blade. When something is changed and altered, then another part of the system doesn't work properly, it is overwhelmingly more probable that the person made a mistake, not that the machine suddenly has mechanical...

I would ask a local tractor shop, or nursery, how cold and hard the freezes get. Guessing, I would think 3 gallons per rear tire would give more than enough protection, and you could split a gallon between the fronts, or put a gallon in apiece or whatever. It looks like the rears take about 30...

You will know more about your climate than we will, but I run straight water. Some tires have had fluid for over 20 years that I know of, and have not had any issues. We get below freezing during the winter, but only in short periods overnight. We got 3 inches of snow as late as April this year...

One thing I can say is these little compact machines excel at tilling. It makes sense, because they were originally designed specifically for that purpose. I have a small tiller for my Yanmar machines, and have guide wheels like in the attached picture. A single bungee cord to keep them tilted...

Thank you all for the help. I just found out we won't need one. (He needed to see if the engine was seized or not, since the starter wouldn't turn.)
