Thanks! I'm not good at documenting work, but if I manage to get something useful I'll add it on here.

I've found two threads here about splitting a B2150, but neither of them list what I'd need. For example, one reply says replace all the O-rings, which makes sense, but doesn't say what they would be. Page S.S-20 of the WSM seems to imply only the suction and delivery pipes would have to be...

I'm looking for one of these as well, HST if it's that specific. My dash is dead ... lights below are fine. Also doesn't shut off properly and the lights don't work. Since I have to rip this thing in half to put in a clutch I should have about all that stuff off as well, then I can fix it...

Long story short I fiddled with it until I found a way to straighten out the bent feedback lever, without putting undue stress on the shaft. Then straightened out the bend rod, chased the threads, and had a mechanic friend (who is actually able to weld) put a suitably sized washer on the end of...

Also turns out this "WSM" I downloaded is incomplete. It has all the oil flow and some exploded diagrams, but it stops at M8-18. There's a page to insert M9-1 to M9-4, then it picks up on page M9-5. Nothing at all about repair procedures or torque values anywhere. Iirc there's a master...

Turns out that was a "temporary" fix, as yesterday it wouldn't work, even after I fiddled with the position feedback lever. Not horribly surprising, it just means I need to actually fix it sooner rather than jury-rigging it for now. (shrug) There it is. At least I have a shop manual for...

You are absolutely spot on, TheOldHokie. After posting this, and having looked at the WSM previously, it was pretty obvious the position feedback rod is completely torn off. Dunno how that could happen, but the lever that rod activates was pushed all the way forward. Pushed it back as far as...

A year or so ago I bought a venerable B7100D, which has been an awesome little tractor, emphasis on little. Today I bought a B2150HST because I liked the 7100 so much. It looks like the entire thing is fully functional *except* the 3 pt hitch doesn't always raise. When it does raise it seems...

The third plug on the transmission didn't yield much, and I can't find a plug on the bell housing. I see a milled shoulder where one might tap it and put a plug, about where it's shown on the diagram, so i'm thinking this one doesn't have that. On the water bit I'm going to see if any shows up...

I was thinking put some number of hours on, then drain & fill again, but I didn't trust myself on that. (grin) I'll definitely remove the third plug and check the clutch, just to be sure. Many thanks!

My inability to find things here is vexing - it seems unlikely hydraulic flush info on such a common tractor wouldn't be here, but I can't find it. I got this tractor last Fall, and now Spring is looking immenent I'm changing the fluid out, put new seals in the 3pt hitch piston, and am...

After posting I stumbled across a B6100 thread with relevant suggestions, one being use the interia of the decending lift arms pushing the piston up, and one use a magnet to grab the piston and draw it out. Neither worked for me, but *together* they did the trick. Piston popped right out and...

I'm doing this exact procedure on my B7100D. I have the top off the cylinder but while the piston slides in/out and rotates easily I can't get it to come out. I searched here for the mentioned B7100 tutorials and found nada, which is becoming distressingly normal. Is there a way to extract...
