Pete,

Check your PM's shortly...

Other than having a tiny 7 horspower engine, there is really nothing special that differentiates the B60 from the largest C-series of the day; the C160. You should be able to drop almost any Kohler K-series single in there and have room to spare.

But - and I may be alone in thinking this - I think the B60 is kind of a special tractor and even though they're not really rare you don't see that many of them out there compared to their bigger brethren. Unless you *must* have more power or need the luxury of electric start I'd be inclined to leave it as is.

If I were you I would keep it and use it for light duty work and get a bigger Wheel horse for heavy duty work :omg:

Someone correct me if wrong, but I think I remember a posting about the B-60 and B-80 and B-100 being 2 inch. shorter in the frame,I'm sure my B-100 auto has a shorter hood, but it does have a 10hp kohler in it.

That's only the '74/'75 models, Kelly. Once they hit 1976 and became 8 speeds they "grew" to be long frame models too. :omg:

Ya I just figued that out I measured the hoods on my B-60 and both B-80's and the B-100 some are long some are short.
