Here are a few pics of the 42 dodge prior to being dismantled for restoration. Im also getting the garage insulated finally and also purchased a Resnor heating system so I dont freeze out there any more!:D

Hi Bill, thanks for compliment. As you are well aware, it's a lot of work. As for the bucket, I really haven't tried to see if they are teeth or the teeth anchors. I really wish I could find a narrower bucket, say 10-12 inches; basically a trenching bucket. As for the car, that's Mary, my...

So, I ran the tractor today with the pressure gauge attached about a mile down the road and she did great, nothing less than 45-50 psi at idle and 60-65 at max! Its about time I caught a break on this thing!!! I was able to get that broken bolt by heating and cooling it with a torch....took 2...

Alright, put the pressure gauge on and fired her up. Reading at initial start: 60psi Reading after about a minute of running: 50psi Reading at idle: 50psi reading at max: 60psi Looks like I have a bad sending unit......yes? What are the general pressure supposed to be?

Well, a ray of hope in an otherwise dark and cloudy sky.....haha. I got my new pressure test kit, which comes with metric adapters. I'll post my result later. Oh, and to add insult to injury, I was removing the seat bracket ( the one that goes with the backhoe attachement) and I snapped off a...

This is really starting to sound like a complete engine rebuild.......I can just hear my wife now................

ran the tractor today and I noticed what seems to be an excessive about of smoke coming the breather pipe.....What is the norm and if it is excessive, what is the cause?

Thanks for all the input. As soon as I get the gauges and numbers I'll post the results.

Ok, I have read the other threads about this issue, but I have some other issues going on as well and want to get some feedback......So here it goes: I bought a used and abused B6100 this past summer and have been slowly rebuilding and repairing it. It came with a B219 FEL and a B670 Backhoe...

Re: Backhoe rebuild Bill, thanks for the pics! Getting a new seat and having a couple of pins made up. Now I just have to figure out what to do to replace the missing rubber bumpers under the seat. Might try using some sort of spring set up. Not really sure what u did/ used but it looks good...

Re: Backhoe rebuild Bill, I checked with Tracy at Big Orange Parts and the gland W/Oring is available and costs $37.46. Any order over $50.00 has free shipping. Hope this helps. Glenn

Re: Backhoe rebuild Bill, it might be easier to just try and order a new glad w/O-ring. The part number is 70020-00839 and according to Messicks its cost $40.61. I would recommend contacting Tracy at Big Orange Parts either by email or phone, he has helped me a lot with the backhoe rebuild and...

Thanks guys, now it all makes since!!!! Thanks for the help and schematic. I'll let you know if I run into any issues...:)

Hey all, I have a b6100dt and am trying to reinstall the headlights and taillights and repair what has been hacked up, etc. I looked through the parts manual and found nothing of help. I am trying to figure out how to wire the lights so that the light switch will work, both wires off the switch...

Re: Backhoe rebuild Wow Bill, that looks great! You certainly go above and beyond.....might even dare to say your a "perfectionist" I have the main part of my backhoe back onto the tractor. Right now I am having pins made for the swing arm and boom. The bottom area of the swing arm, where it...
