Tractor tend to be described by model and not so much by the year they were built. B7100 would probably get you most parts. David from jax

I tend to shy away from Dihatsu engines, either gas or diesel, in Toro Workmans, so take that with a grain of salt. David from jax

Yeah, that is what they cut a hole into large enough to crawl through at my last place. I had the lock reinforced to make it troublesome, but they still cut thru the walls on the back side. David from jax

We seldom mow early morning, but if we do, we are still mowing by the time the grass dries out, so the dry grass should clean under the deck. Our biggest problem is not wet grass building up under the deck, as much as grass clippings, leaves and such getting caught on top of the deck and...

I left my tractor at a job site about 3/4 mile up the street. Owner is 80 and sleeps like a log, so I knew that while it would be under cover, it was sort of in sight of a main road, and two gates with cows between it and the road. Next door neighbor sleeps with a gun under his pillow. The area...

I had a container at a place I owned and moved out of. I had a car stored in it and the container was cut open with a grinder, large enough hole for a person to crawl into. There was candle wax all over the insides of the car where they sat and played in the car. I got a call one day from one of...

Well, if you do decide to get rid of it, let me know! I need a heavy one! David from jax

So, could you bolt a piece of 1/2" or 3/4" to it instead? Seems like it would prolong intervals between having to work on it? It would also allow a significant time before the wear got to the bolt heads which I assume are countersinked into the 3/8? (or did you drill and tap the 3/8" flatbar to...

Got to make it harder for them, so they go looking for an easier target. Now if your tractor is the one they want, good luck! I used to think that out in the open in plain view of the world passing by would be best, but nowadays that doesn't work. People just don't want to get involved when...

Having been in the trucking industry for years, I had a bunch of mirrors laying around. I ordered a couple of serious magnets with a sheet metal bar between them. Attached the mirror and I can stick it any where I want. Have to be careful, as some places don't like to let it go! I made...

I had a 1948 HG48 crawler that the clutch loved to get stuck on! Most people that had them thought you had to split them to get the clutch unstuck. However, you could open the access hole in the bell housing and mash each of the three springs to get it unstuck (rotating flywheel was a given)...

Take a gas unit and convert it to ptopane? David from jax

The general consensus is that, although a 14 foot will hold the tractor with a loader, you still don't have room to adjust the tongue weight. That will make a lot of difference! The second picture that PaulHarvey posted shows a tractor with a loader, with probably just about the right amount...

The Ford 7710 I had used a PTO mounted pump, had a 25 gallon auxiliary tank, and ran a 4 foot cutter along with all the hydraulics it took to run the rear boom that was configured just like an extending backhoe arm. Rear PTO pumps can deliver a LOT of gallons per minute. I also realize that...

Jackfalcon, Welcome to the forum! Finding the right salvage yard is as hard as finding just the right parts you need. Add to that, the shipping itself for a loader, or a complete(ish) tractor is going to be way up there in the cost. Add your general location to your forum...
