    Free Deck Mower

    This is a RC60-24B mower deck off a 1998 B2400. I am not the original owner. When I purchased the mower the service shop said the gearbox was noisy. Also the 2 front "hooks" are pulled out. I bought new bearings/seals/hooks from Messicks. I was going to do the rebuild. But I got a repreive...

    hill climbing?

    I think the word is "oil starvation" but of the other type. Some where(tractorbynet?) someone pointed out that the HST has a odd pickup and that going forward up the hill is the problem. That looks similiar to what I have so maybe I am at ~30-35 degree incline. The more I look at it the more I...

    HELP! B2400 issues.

    Quick? I got a handle on the mower gearbox repair. Another member has done this and gave me all the info I need. However the Kubota shop says the PTO drive shaft from the "bottom" drive to the mower is worn out. Also it is the older design without a Zerk fitting. ??? Is there an aftermarket...

    hill climbing?

    East Side in da houze! Actually more toward Churchhill area. It looks like about a 35-40degree hill it's covered with ivy and various vines. Good thing it's only about 25-30ft. The tractor itself is about half the distance. It has a FEL and the owner has a box scraper to go with it. Hopefully...

    hill climbing?

    In the Pittsburgh area, everything is hills. Question is, what is ~steepest/safest incline I could go up with a B-series in 4WD low. The problem, rather than drive on the street and come in from behind on the neighbors lawn I could go up the hill ~30ft and then work my "back 40". I don't...

    Bx2200 hp

    Hey Thanks for all the replies. I have been near Vegas for the last month. Sorta incomunicado. I have also seen quite a few 71-72-73 series tractors for sale. They list as either HST or HSD? I will assume the hydro-stat-trans/drive?? Compared to the BX series they seem to a less...

    Bx2200 hp

    Thanks all! From what I gathered the hydro-lines are a weakish area. And like any other machine, user neglect. I was wondering about the loader because it would "seem" to be easier to cut grass with the loader removed. (belly mower) My projects are 1 Cutting grass on somewhat hilly...
