    GF1800 PTO Cutting Out

    Just bought a GF1800 today with mower deck and snowblower. Hooked up the snowblower, and made it about 1.5 feet before the PTO disengaged (by itself). The PTO lever linkage seems to be working fine....so I believe the problem is internal (I think this has a hydraulic wet clutch). The motor...

    B6000 - oil leaks & clutch

    My B6000 seems to have an oil leak at every gasket as identified by the dust/oil build-up. The worst is at the tiller. I don't think I'm losing any amount of oil, but none-the-less it is always dirty. Is this common for this tractor? I know that chasing/fixing oil leaks is a full time job...

    Newbie 1976 B6000

    I just purchased a B6000 with rototiller (this will be it's primary use). I know nothing about the tractor, and I'm not certain the prior owner gave me very good instructions. Some maintenance is required: 1) The battery is no good. Voltage at 10.5 after running for quite a while. I am...
