Never seen a B219 that would lift the front end with down pressure, but it should lift it with the curl function.
After a few flushes of the hydro and correct fill It has no issue lifting the front, granted not very high but a foot is enough to back drag the driveway .

Cool. Mine will lift with enough down pressure to back drag, but not a foot. But mine undoubtably weighs a lot more than yours- bigger tractor, bigger engine, PTB, front wheel weights, etc.
Maybe I should consider lightening mine. :)

Your screen was cleaner than mine- couldn't even see the screen material before cleaning.

You know, you're not the first to make that offer. :)

Here is a couple of pictures View attachment 45881 View attachment 45882 of my 6000DT. I have a belly mower but they are a pain. I have Woods RM48 but I have a reverser for the PTO. By the way the PTO turns counterclock wise on B6000. Woods did make a RM48 for the counter clockwise PTO. I saw one on Craigslist several months ago. You are somewhat close to me and if I remember it was up your way. By the way, get the operating manual and the parts list. They are avaliable online to download. Feel free to ask questions. I had a B6000 since at least 1977. I would go with turf tires on grass. I use mine in a swampy field. Millers in Ohio has them.

What rear tires do you have on yours? I spin so bad with my bald truck tires and would rather use something like the ones you have (similar to the ones of my borrowed BX-25) which , when dry haven't torn up the lawn and offer'd great traction uphill.

That's the size that is stuck in my head, but I will verify sometime today.

Could just be the picture angle, but those 3 pt arms on the dt sure look long! That could be an advantage when carrying a counterweight for the loader, but might make interchange with the other one an issue. Are they the same?

I think its the angle and the dirt from before it was cleaned and painted. They are std cat 1 size

You were right.
8-16 on rear, 6-12 on front.
The 7.50 - 16 size was what was on the tractor when I got it.

Hello, Nice finds.
Where is the hydraulic pump on the 6000DT?

For one that drives a B219 Loader it is on the right side of the tractor on a bracket off the flywheel pulley.

W/O loader the one that drives the trans is on the left side under the exhaust manifold.

Thanks I was interested in the location of the B219's set up. I do not have space for a belt driven Hydraulic compressor. Is it it he standard Cessna pump that sits on the front?

Yes it is... It's a small pump and fits nicely in there. I would imagine if you can fabricate (or have someone fab one) you could locate it elsewhere .
