Never thought of that, I'll look! Thanks

As far as I can tell none of the shafts are bent, I am probably going to remove all of them and have them checked at a machine shop.

B2650 with B2714C quick hitch and B2782B snowblower has developed a heavy vibration over the last 2 months. At christmas the inboard bearing carrier failed. I replaced it. For several weeks after we only had light snow, 2 to 6 inches, a few times then cold so no snow. Last week I kind of noticed...

Good thing winter is late up here, put the snow blower and my new quick hitch and new rear blade. I have also long suspected that my hydraulic pressure was low so I put together a fitting and gauge to test it. After warming up the tractor I tested the pressure and sure enough I was running...

So my seat switch failed and I detailed how to bypass it here https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b2650-seat-switch-problem-solved.48654/post-523794 Be aware that the tractor will move without someone in the seat after you do this though. Hope this helps. Cheers

I am about to start this process myself, although I am thinking of going with Summit hydraulics rear remotes. Let me know if you had any issues or you can give me any tips. I have pretty much the exact same setup as you have. Cheers Colin.

If you go the this thread I detailed how I bypassed the switch. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/seat-interlock-bypass.54842/#post-507043

My manual says to use grade 5 with the grove cut into them for the auger and grade 5 with no grove for the fan. I have decided that I will continue to use the bolt with the grove for the auger purchased at my dealer. In my mind the extra cost will be more than offset if the auger is compromised...

I am in almost the exact same situation, my B2650 is 2.25 years old 360 hours, and the seat switch issue started in the summer and got continually worse with time. The dealer in my area is not very good and argued with me about what was goin on, that is why I decided to bypass the switch. Cheers

excellent work around Cheers

So today I bypassed the seat interlock, nothing like the pictures supplied by @dirtydeed, his might be an open cab model not sure, mine has a cab. Thinking that my situation was the same as dirtydeed's I started out removing the seat. Removing the seat is not necessary. You start by removing the...

The seat interlock issue started a couple of months ago, even happens to me when the cabin is cold, then hunting season😊. I wasn't worried about it until my surgery date was moved up to next week. I thought I'd get it fixed at the 400 hour service in a couple of months. Now I can't get it in...

She operates it regularly but I did reinforce the dangers to her. Thanks

Thanks, I'll work on this tomorrow.

LOL your secret is safe with us!
