Hey guys, just wanted to post for the records on my hard start issue, I had my B6000 over a year now, and it has always been hard to start. Would take along time to crank over and at times I would even have to shoot starting fluid down the breather to get it spinning fast enough to fire up. I replaced the battery, spun quicker but sill had the issue of a hard start. Finaly my starter crapped out so I bought a new one on ebay for 90.00. When It came in the mail I was supprised how big it was and questioned if it would actualy fit, sure enough it fit just fine, bit tight but fit. Its about 1/4 bigger than the old one. After I put it in, I proceeded to start the tractor, I was amazed at how fast the engine was turning over, and it fired right up!!! Im so happy, I was beginning to think I had to rebuild the engine. So this Is just a write up to inform people with a hard start, it may be a weak starter.
B6000 hard start *fixed*

- Start date
yeah I put new ones in right away, still didnt make a differance for me. My engine just wasnt spinning fast enough to build up compression to fire.
Hi,
Glad you got problem solved. I was wondering if you can tell us who you bought starter from. All the ones on EBAY I looked at look about the same and I would like to get one of the bigger ones if I have to buy one. Thanks Danny - djmc35
