The B6000 we acquired is now known as Benjamin. Because we paid for it with a Benjamin. I'm so clever, yall!

Update on what we have discovered:

It runs, takes a minute to start, but runs perfect once going. All gears work. PTO works, all hydraulics work. Hi low range works. 4x4 works.

Lights not working, but wires looking rigged. Steering shaft is loose, steering wheel will come right off. Seat rusted out, and today the clutch went out.

Named my 1950 Ferguson 20 'Ol' Vic" after the elder gentlemen that gave it to me. Haven't named my 'new-to-me' L2850 yet. See today's post under Off Topics, Ol' Grey Fergy.

Because of how much faster I get my work done with my BX, I've named it "Fast Orange". As many of you know, that is also the name of a citrus hand cleaner product. I have several ball caps with the "Fast Orange" logo from when I used to buy it for work. In the spring, I may have our decal supplier make me up a couple for the tractor.

I originally called mine 'The Tangerine Dream', but my wife refers to it as 'that little orange whore'. (Seems I spend a bit more time with it than her):eek:

With all the problems I've had with mine, the names I call it don't bear repeating in public...
