Do a google search for hydraulic cylinder. There are plenty of suppliers. You'll need to know the length etc... Or you can take it to a hydraulic shop and let them price a replacement. They'll at least be able to tell you the proper size for a replacement if you can't get there on your own...

That's an excellent score. I paid through the teeth for one out here in Hawaii, sans the 3ph equipment, and am still happy as a clam with the thing (actually for Hawaii the price was right, but your deal makes everything seem expensive...).

300 is dirt cheap. Like Kytim said, the loader is worth more than that by itself. Once you get that engine running, go back and pick up a tiller if the PO had one. Also a mower. B6000s spin backwards on the pto, so getting attachments to match will save trauma at the end of the day. Those 2...

I flipped my wheels on the b6000 to add more stability, since I live in hilly terrain and the tractor likes to threaten me with unpleasant dismounts. Flipping tires is quite common on these older models. The extra few inches can mean a big difference to your stability. The axle goes through a...

Have you watched Vic's primer on repairing steering boxes? Check it out on the homepage if not...

Using a FEL without ballasting the rear is asking for bad trouble, either to you or to your tractor. Great post.

Yep, I think it weighs in right around 400 lbs. or so. Evens the Yanmar right out.

I finished the ballast box a bit ago. Here's a few pics of it weighing down the Yanmar's back end.

Front lift capacities are rated by the loader rather than by the axle. The b219 loader for the b6000 and the YFL 155 for the yanmar 135/155ds all are rated at 500lbs at full lift if the rear is ballasted. How have you attached your 3ph front loader to your tractor? If there is a subframe...

My understanding is that non shielded electronic equipment would be in danger, with the caveat that the inverse square law applies to EMPs. So, if an EMP source went off near the tractor, there would be a chance of your battery, starter, alternator, turn signals, cutoff switch and possibly your...

A quick search yields this thread: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4057 Kuboman mentions kubotabooks.com at the bottom of the thread. You should look to see if any of their documentation supports your tractor ... Supposing you find the parts manual or sumsuch and...

When I just did the b6000 I detached the lift arms on the 3ph and manually raised them. This pushed the cylinder head out. I kept working the lift arms and after a bit the piston hit the cylinder wall and give me enough traction on the cylinder to push it out a bit further. That allowed me to...

Nice forks! Also good for lifting pallets and things like that. In regards to my ballast comment, all my reading has said to ballast the back while putting a load on the front. That way the weight is evenly distributed across the rear and front axles rather than primarily on the front, which is...

I just replaced a sheared bolt for the loader subframe on my yanmar I helicoiled the hole and put in a new bolt. Worked great. Can't imagine that the larger holes will prove to be a problem on your tractor. Be careful when drilling so as to avoid drilling into your crankcase.... Been there...

I just replaced the o ring on the 3ph cylinder for my b6000. Very easy task. Six bolts on the top front of the transmission housing provided access and manually raising the lift arms allowed me to push the cylinder far enough out to grab hold of the piston. Not sure if the b7100 or the hst...

Nice looking forks. Are your tires ballasted? Looks like some counterweight wouldn't be a bad idea....

I've got a pin on pallet fork attachment for the Yanmar and I like having the extra durability and vision it allows. Some of the members here fabricate stuff for a living and I'm sure they'll chime in with some actual numbers, but the be all end all is that it's going to depend on who you get...

Thanks for the input. I'd love to get a new speco unit, but living in Hawaii shipping costs are murder. I'm going to take a look at it next week. Hopefully I'll be digging tree and post holes like crazy soon.

I've been in the market for an auger for a bit now, and have a line on a unit made by Gallagher, for which I can find virtually no information. Anyone ever heard of them? Anyone ever use one of their augers? Opinions? Thanks for any input in advance. -A

Thanks reelmani, I'm very lucky to live where I do. And congratulations to you and your new wife on the recent marriage. Beautiful place to tie the knot. Good luck on the purchase. I'm a big fan of those b6000s, but that ccw pto issue does rear it's head upon occasion and there's just not alot...
