Thanks for all the great advice! So I put the lever into the "down" position on top of the fuel filter and tried turning the key to see if any fuel was making it to the injector bleeder. None was. So I checked voltage at the lift pump and wasn't getting anything. After using a short jumper...

I ran my B6000 out of fuel (I know, bone-headed move) and now I'm having trouble bleeding the air out of the fuel lines. I've loosened the two bleeder screws at the filter (red arrows in the below photo) and put the valve (blue arrow) into the down position, which I believe is for bleeding air...

Had a little time to look at this last night. Removed the belt and found that the PTO clutch moves freely and could engage it without problem, so then inspected the pulleys on the mower deck. One of them was completely frozen up. Took it off and found the whole spindle assembly was shot. So now...

Makes sense. When I have a chance I'll try pulling the clutch and look over it. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions too.

I've been having quite the couple weeks with my B6000, had to replace the seat because old one's bracket rusted off, just replaced front tires and tubes, and have been working on getting everything working so I can mow. The latest issue is that when I flip the switch to activate the front PTO...

Great, so I'm doing it right! Just wanted to make sure.

Resurrecting my old thread here with some updates and more questions! The update: was able to mow all season - sure saves a LOT of time vs push mower! Towards the end of the season had an issue with the coupler (not sure what it's called) that connects the front crankshaft with the front PTO...

Some more info… hoping for any insight. Jacked rear of tractor up so both wheels were off ground and started engine in first gear. When I pushed the right brake pedal, the right wheel would stop; left brake stopped left wheel. But when I pressed BOTH pedals (either locked together or not), one...

Well, got the brakes back together and everything looked good. Took the tractor for a test run but the brakes still didn't stop it! Tried adjusting the pedals but no luck. As far as I can tell all the hardware and installation is good, but I can't explain why the brakes aren't fully working...

Finally had some time to work on the tractor. Got the brake lever free after repeated soaking and beating on it with a drift and hammer until it freed up. The outer o-ring had failed, letting dirt and rust seize the lever in the backing plate. Got that side cleaned up and reinstalled, works...

Did some much needed maintenance on my "new-to-me" B6000: Flushed radiator and topped off with 50/50 coolant Changed engine oil Removed, cleaned, and PROPERLY reinstalled/oiled Air Cleaner (PO had it installed upside down!) Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, cleaned......... Still...

Thanks for the advice NWI and Rob! I'll get back to work on it but due to family obligations and a full schedule it won't be until next week. I'll post back with updates and/or questions. I do have a quick question while it's on my mind: when I go to reinstall the brake backing plate, can I...

I just acquired my first compact tractor: a B6000E with a Woods belly mower and a Kubota Caryall. Tractor runs really well for the most part, but needs some maintenance. Starting to perform some maintenance on the little guy: Highest priority are the brakes... they feel bound up, like they're...
