Located in So Cal and looking for some implements to fight my weeds. Always on the look out for a backhoe although I've nearly given up considering I need the underframe support for this little tractor. Thanks!

I am looking at a K650 backhoe for sale - I have been needing a backhoe for my B7100 gear drive. I have the subframe for the front loader but it sounds like there is some subframe support needed for a backhoe as well. Has anyone mounted one of these on a B7100 and if so, did you fabricate a...

I realize these are probably not plentiful. My understanding is that these old B series tractors need a sub frame and that the three point backhoes alone could cause damage to the tractor. I am willing to fabricate some supports but need a backhoe to start with. Hopefully someone has an old...

Well, now I've done it. I opened broke apart the HST pump from the transmission. Pulled the transaxle off the transmission. Looked inside the transmission and found the culprit. The gears which lost some teeth were the PTO gears. The two gears are the ones which swich from high to low for...

Re: B7100 HST project update... So I got the transmission loaded up on a trailer and power washed it this weekend. If I'm going to split the transmission open, I want it nice and clean. I am debating whether or not I should break it between the transmission and the rear axle first or between...

Hey Wolfman, have you been inside your HST? I am not afraid to take anything apart. That's my specialty. Is it a scary jungle of specialized tool requiring parts or is is just another task requiring attention to detail and more patience than the average bear? Looked around for threads with...

Here's a photo of the two significant pieces of metal from behind the HST filter screens. Anyone have an opinion or have you found such fragments? Look to be teeth from a gear to me. I have to decide if I should tear into the transmission and rear axle while everything is dismantled or if I...

Calman, I haven't given up yet but the more things I find wrong, the more I would consider another tractor. I only have 2K in this one. I figure I will weld up the frame, put a clutch in it and see if it goes. If it does, it's worth fabricating a subframe and moving forward. If there's a...

Project update! First off, I will post a picture below of the two larger metal bits from behind my screens in the HST. They sure look like the corner of a gear tooth to me. A dime is in the picture for size reference. They are closer to 1/4" than 1/8" like I had said before. I have read...

Hi Calman, I was mistaken! The brass nipple that came loose was on the fuel pump. My bad. I used a wood drift and tapped it in snug and it is good and tight. As for my backhoe, I have a friend who is going to sell me one if the tractor ever comes together. I have yet to look at it but it...

This is likely a dumb question but here goes: I was pulling the stiff old fuel line off of the fuel filter nipple and the nipple nearly pulled out. It is some type of press fit brass nipple without threads. I have to assume that they expand internally when they are installed. I was going to...

I have a long thread about my project here: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18430 Thought I would post this specific question separately. So I removed my engine. I am planning on pulling out the crankshaft to potentially have the pilot bushing hole machined - I...

Hi All, I have a thread describing my increasingly daunting project here: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18430 But I have a specific question regarding the transmission filter screens. I posted the question in my project writeup but not everyone wants to wade...

So the project continues. I have torn the tractor down to the main frame. Slow going with all the hydraulics and linkages. Here are a few pics and I have a couple of questions as well. It turns out that Wolfman is absolutely correct. Thw Westendorf loader had no subframe and it literally...

Wow, just got off the phone with Farmland Tractor in Tangent, Oregon. They have a rusty B7100 HST that has been on fire. They want $2000 for the rear frame housing. Does anyone else think that's a bit steep for a burned up tractor frame member? I can't get my jaw off the ground....

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Apogee, thank you for re-igniting my inspiration. You are absolutely right about the crank bearings. I will proceed with your suggestions. I think I may try to start the engine on the bench before I tear it down to get a baseline for how it runs...

I am guessing that your D750 is also gone?

So I started off looking for a B7100 in the NW (I am in Portland). I placed an ad in the classifieds on this forum and received several helpful replies. I followed Craigslist for a few weeks and got an idea of what people were asking and what they were going for in various conditions. Then I...

I am looking for a B7100 with front loader and 4wd. I would prefer to find one with HST but a shifter would be ok. I live in the Portland area and need a smaller tractor for landscaping. I have a backhoe off a B7100 but would be open to other small 4wd models that it might fit on. My property...
