B6000 restoration and questions

[B6000project]

Good evening everyone! First time on here, I recently picked up a B6000 with 206 loader and a woods finish mower. For the price I got the whole package, I was happy.

So long story short, the gentleman i purchased it from bought it running and operating albeit rough around the edges. He then began disassembly for a restoration but had some unexpected health problems and he had to sell. I picked it up as a basket case, lots of parts and broken down into engine, front case, rear case and trans tunnel.

I have the owners, loader and mower manuals.

So here's my first of many questions most likely, I'm working to put it back together but want to test a few things before I put the two halves back together. First up is testing the engine, and putting the fuel system back together. In the attached photo, the two arrows point to what I think are the fuel inlet from fuel pump and the second one has me stumped? Pressure port? Return line?

Don't worry about the wood A-Frame, its built for extremely light duty, mostly since I work alone in the garage and sometimes holding a odd sized part is super helpful. Max I've lifted with it is maybe 100 pounds.


I attached a few other photos of the day it came home and where it's at now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's a breather, take the red cap/ plug off of it and put a piece of hose on it that extends down below the oil pan.

Wolfman,

Thanks so much for the help, can't believe I didn't see that on messicks.

I got the engine running, it ran and idled great so thats a huge win! That was my major check before I reassembled the halves.

I made a ton of progress today on my day off, next steps will be pressure wash and prep for chassis paint. I'm even more excited about this little tractor than when I got it home.
