Hello fellows. I have had my B7100HST with the RC60 belly mower since June. I have been looking for a front loader for it and found a B6100 with the B219 loader. The 6100 is gear driven and has a rod through the side of the block. The poor tractor has led a very rough life and looks to have been out in the weather for most of it's life. I figured the B6100 & B7100 were the same "chassis". But after perusing the forum here I learned the HST is 5.6 inches longer than the geared one. And after looking from the front back to the seat, Both tractors look to be the same length except that the rear axle is set back about 5.5 inches. And after looking I have 2 questions. First can the B219 loader be on the tractor at the same time as the RC60 belly mower? And second, since the B6100 was gear driven it has the front mounted hydraulic pump on the front of the crankshaft ,. Should I plumb the loader in to the HST or should I run the front pump on the HST ? Thanks for all your answers ahead of time. I really appreciate all of you on this forum.
