    "It'll never happen to me..."

    I am always cautious with my loader, I know what kinda of trouble I can get into if its overloaded or up to high. One thing I learned quickly, once I get my material in the bucket, I lower it to the ground and travel with it down.

    What does a rectifier do?

    I dont think my B6000 charges. I have 11v`s at my battery when the tractor is running and does not go up at all, even when I give it gas, there are 3 leads off the dynamo. 2 go to the light switch and one to the rectifier, what does the rectifer do exactly? what should I be testing. Thanks.

    need help, hard start, B6000. (video inside)

    I think it may be the injectors, I removed them today, and found that the part that sits in the block is soaked in fuel, not sure if thats normal or not. Going to take them to a diesel shop to have them checked this week.

    need help, hard start, B6000. (video inside)

    never thought about that, it does not sound like its backfireing. What still throws me off is when the engine is warm/hot, it fires right up. now im not sure what route to take first. have the head machined or have the injectors checked out.
