    b7100D-HST 12" 6 lug front rims?

    I managed to find a set of 12" fronts and 16" rears with iron weights down in PA a few hours away. The rears are 7-16 tires so I need to swap those out for 8.3-16s to match the fronts, but the 6-12 fronts work well with my 31x15.5-15 rears currently. I can shift in and out of 4wd without so...

    b7100D-HST 12" 6 lug front rims?

    I'm having a heck of a time finding a set of 12" front rims to fit my B7100. Does anyone have a part number or some dimensions? It looks like i'm working with a 6 on 4.5" bolt circle, or something close to that. I've been looking to fit either 6-12s or 23x8.5-12s on the front end since someone...

    Cost, mostly. My rears are still plenty good and changing rears is much more expensive than changing fronts. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Update: they don't fit. I remembered that my cub cadet has 23x8.5-12s on the rear. The rims don't bolt up, but even getting it close it's obvious they won't clear the loader frame when turning. Not sure if 6-12s would be any better. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    So here's a question. If I wanted to go that route, where can I find a 12x7 6 lug rim that fits? I'm pretty sure the 23x8.5-12s would fit.

    B7100 - new guy here.

    These things really aren't too hard to tear apart yourself. I just went through a similar ordeal with my project b7100. It came with a loader and a bad rod knock. Took me about an hour to pull off the loader and split the tractor. An engine hoist or chainfall will help a lot. If you don't want...

    I think I figured out how to do math finally. FRONT: 6-12 RC: 68.9 REAR: 8-12 RC: 92.5 ratio: .7449 current tires: FRONT: 20x8-10 RC: 57.1 REAR: 31x15.5-15 RC: 93 ratio: .6140 (13% diff!) proposed change: FRONT: 23x8.5-12 RC: 68.9 REAR: 31x15.5-15 RC: 93 ratio: .7409 (0.4% diff) Of course...

    Who makes an industrial tire that size? My google-fu is failing me.

    Hi all. I'm still plugging away on my repowered b7100. It runs and moves and works pretty good now, but I have a question about tires. The seller gave me a set of 20x8-10 Carlisle Trac chief r4 tires that are on the front, and the rear is currently Goodyear xtra-tracs in a 31x15.50-15. I know...

    Quick update. Still haven’t fixed the clutch issue, but everything else is in and working great. I picked up a fdr1660 mower to drag behind this and after putting a new beck belt on and adjusting the throttle stop screw to get me enough engine rpm to hit 540 pto rpm, this thing will mow down...

    Clutch fork came in and didn't solve my problem. Here's a pic of where the throw out bearing feels like it contacts the pressure plate. That doesn't seem like nearly enough travel, I know it's not since the clutch won't disengage. Do I need to adjust the pressure plate arms, or is something...

    As promised, some shots. I cut the stock fittings off the radiator and shoved some 1"x3/4" copper adapters in there and soldered them in place. Pressure tested the rad to 20psi with no leaks. You can see the kill lever there. I think the easiest thing to do for me is going to me to make a rod...

    It's alive! Got it all buttoned up yesterday. I had to take the radiator back off once to re-solder one of my fittings, and lining up the frame rail holes was a pain in the butt, but other than that it went together easy. Changed all the filters, put on all new fuel hoses, filled fluids and it...

    My upper connection doesnt look too hard to make. I just need to adapt from the ~1" outlet on the thermostat to the radiator neck. My radiator neck looks like it's been squashed a few times. I'm hoping I can tap a 1" OD pipe in to the neck and solder it in. I see the tanks on this are brass, and...

    That's my plan. I'm not the best welder, so if I can't get it I've got a new one being shipped now.

    Sorry for the crappy photos. I can't really get a a camera in there to get a good shot of it. But, I can move the pedal about 1/4 through its travel before the fork even begins to contact the sleeve. It looks like the adjustment is pretty far out right now, and there's just not enough travel...

    Got it in and it runs! Fires right up. Gotta rig up the cooling system and maybe adjust the governor. I'm not sure if this revs up to tractor rpms. Clutch definitely does not disengage. I'm thinking the 3/16 of slop between the clutch fork and throw out bearing sleeve is the culprit. When I...

    Really? When I was reading the WSM the picture made it look like it went the other way, and I didn't see it mention anything about pulling the engine or dropping that frame to remove the axle. That's just silly.

    I didn't have my phone on me out in the barn yesterday, but I'll snap a few when I get home today. I didn't take the time to measure the pressure plate levers and set them on the new plate. I'm wondering if that is part of my problem, or it its that the clutch fork is worn down a bunch where it...
