Old B20 working hard Just moved a few tonnes of soil with my home made teeth on the FEL, scraped (using and old snow plough), rotovated and raked the back garden using my old B20. She overheated a bit while pulling the rotovator (think the thermostat is the problem)

awsome, thanks.

Hi, i am looking to fit a temperature gauge to my B20 by cutting the top radiator hose and fitting an inline temperature probe back to a gauge on the dash. Unfortunately, my B20 is in Slovakia and i am in the UK. Can anyone out there with a B20 nearby tell me the internal pipe diameter of this...

Hi, similar to my other thread, my B20 when under load of mowing up hill (4ft bush hog), she overheats and boils over after about 15 minutes. plenty of water in the radiator and the front grill is clean and the fan is working. Any suggestions gratefully received thanks

Hi, when i am mowing up hill (4ft pto driven bush hog on the back), i get white smoke out of the breather pipe that points downwards on the left (clutch) side of the tractor. Is this a problem? What does it mean?

i am trying to search this site for anything referring to a B20 (my toy) but your search engine says that "B20" is to short to search for. can you help please

on my B20, i have a pipe pointing downwards by the front left wheel, i think its some kind of breather pipe for the engine? it seems to smoke quite a bit sometimes, mainly whiteish smoke. i was told this is normal, is that so? or does this indicate a problem somewhere?

hi, which valve is this? is it the one by the right foot that you turn clockwise or anticlockwise? my label on this is worn out but some nice people on the forum sent me some photos of it and i think its in the right place. i changed both filters (something i was planning on doing anyway as i...

nah, not that knob, I know that one. but strangely suddenly it started worked, i wonder if it was an arirlock of some kind.

Hi, my 3 point linkage does not move. i can lift it manually and it drops, it feels like there is no hydraulic pressure there at all. in an attempt to help, i have changed the hydraulic filters and there is plenty of oil in the system. the front end loader works fine and is as powerful as...

thanks for the advise, i am back out in slovakia where my tractor is over the summer so will make sure i give it a really good clean. am planning to run rad flush through it as well as i need to change the water to make sure i have the right anti freeze level in it

hi, the FEL and 3 point linkage work like a dream It does have a leak on the driveshaft out of the transmission that drips a little but the transmission oil level is about half way up the dip stick. when i bought it i was told it had been recently serviced but no documentation etc so suspect...

whilst mowing at the weekend (4ft bush hog on the pto and 25 degrees C temperature), my B20 boiled over in a cloud of steam. it was quite warm and it looked like the mesh on the front of the radiator was blocked by grass seed (grass was over 4ft high). any suggestions (apart from keeping the...

Hi, have an old B20 with no rear back hoe that is making a strange noise that sounds to my uneducated ear to be a pressure relief value opening somewhere around the seat. it sounds like a woosh (pressure increase), click (value opening) over and over again at irregular intervals. i have no...

Hi, am looking for a way of attaching my landscaping rake to my front end loader for clearing out ditches. Am i mad? is there any good reason why i cannot do this?
