Gray market B6000. The good: Runs great. Glow plugs don't heat so it starts just a little slow in the cold. Warms up fast, no smoke. Dynamo works great, cooling system works great. Hydraulics work great (tiller lift cylinder). All gears good, PTO speeds good, etc. All newer fluids and...

Well, I'll offer you $600 for the reverser you don't have! :D

I have a B6000 4x4 unit. It is a tough little workhorse and I highly recommend them. Mine has seen rototiller work exclusively, but it has done acres and acres of tilling without a hiccup. If the smaller sized tractor is what you want, you'd have a very hard time getting a better machine with...

Good info. I'll try JB first, then go to the torch if it doesn't hold. I'll try the oil first, but will go with grease if I get any tiny leaks.

I was afraid of that. Thankfully, the steering still works just fine, there's just a nice "window" in the side of the box. I may just braze it up and fill it with oil. Water must have been under the oil in the box. Just because you have a full box of steering fluid and top is oil, that...

:mad: I went out to the farm this weekend to check on things, and apparently my steering box had some water in it?!? That's my guess, anyway, because the cast iron of the left side of the box is blown out and there is no water or oil left in it... I found a steering column for a B7100. Does...

Vic, Could you shoot me a PM with a price for all of the decals I'll need when I repaint my B6000? It's a grey market 4WD job with the bolt-on tiller. Also let me know where to send the check, or if you prefer credit card. Regards, Hans

The HST model does indeed have a live, continuous running PTO in both the L3200 and L3800. The gear drive trans that I was referring to does not have a provision for it in the L3200, however. I believe Eric was responding to my initial question - and he gave the correct answer for that. In...

Really appreciate the thoughts, fellas. Since I expect that most of the tractor's hours will be spent pulling things across the field, I don't really know if the HST will give me the benefit that a lot of you guys see in it for majority FEL work. Any of you guys primarily do field work with...

Wow - that is a deal I'd jump on. PM sent-

Carl, I didn't even get a price on the B, other than an off-the cuff quote that seemed like it wasn't that much lower than the deal they're offering for the L3200. If I recall correctly, the 4WD was only available with an HST. The more I read on those, the more I think I could make it work...

Well, I did a terrible thing. I went and took a good look at a new tractor last night... I have a great little B6000 with a tiller, and was looking at adding an FEL for general farm work (manure, compost, lime, putting gravel on roads, etc) and snow removal at my place of employment. So, I...

Looks like a nice clean tractor you got there, Changnam-

Really enjoying this thread, Changnam. Especially the experiment with attracting the very cute girl with your custom aftershave. So, I must know - did it work? :D I'm actually looking at fabbing up a few different 3 pt implements for my B6000 to harness the reverse-rotation PTO, and find your...

Wow - that is an impressive first post! As a fellow B6000 grey market machine owner, let me say welcome to the site. The folks here are tremendously knowledgeable and I'm certain they will be happy to assist you as they have me. Your project sounds ambitious to say the least, but I wish you...

That's some good news there, 284. I haven't taken off the tiller yet - but the plate the P.O. gave me to cover it does not have a hole in it for the shaft to come through... I'll take if off in a couple of weeks when I get it back to my shop for it's new paint job. Really appreciate the info...

Well, not exactly. I have lower links I can attach, and per the P.O. when I remove the tiller and cover the hole left in the rear end with the plate he made (as well as a gadget that works up top for the single high point) I can attach the lower links to the pins you see and can run any non-pto...

Wondering if anybody knew much about the grey-market B6000 I have that has the gear-driven tiller bolted up directly to the tractor where the PTO output normally would be? Is there a PTO assembly I can get that will bolt up and mesh with the gears? The previous owner built a "block-off plate"...

Did it turn out that you did in fact have to remove the injector? Curious, as I believe this job is in my future as well. Hans

Thanks guys! Vic, what do those decals run? I wouldn't mind doing all the decals on my B6000 when I do the "rattle can" paint job per your instructions this winter. Also, do you have the centermost tiller tines for the gear-driven tiller that's attached to this tractor (no PTO)? Thanks, Hans
