WTH? It slowly died on me yesterday. Took the glass bowl fuel filter off and the paper cartridge was caked in rust. That must have been the problem. Cleaned it real good, no rips or tears. Cleaned surface it mounts to and reassembled. Now does not want to start straight away. When it does...

search feature doesnt seem to work. Want to read about "Dirt scoop" AKA Skim Scoop I type in Dirt Scoop or Skim Scoop into search and get every thread under the sun.....none specifically for the 3PH scoop I am looking for. Have a Mits MH1800 with CAT1 3PH and wondering about these skim...

I'm guessing it would. Most internal combustion machines do. My HEAT lap comes on after some 10-12-15-20 minutes. I throttle back and by the time I get to the garage the lamp has gone off. Sometimes it spits a bit of coolant out. So, thought maybe thermostat is rusty, stuck, bent, not...

MT180 It started and ran fine last time I used it. Slow cranking so I replaced the old battery. New cable ends on + and wires. Nothing?!  Like, not even a click click click or trying to crank. Not even a light on the dash. How could that be?! Could I have gotten a bad battery from...

See how this works. Something to do. CooHead

AS you can see: The "teeth" are lengths of angle iron 6-8" long. You can imagine it doesn't want to turn. I get free steel from work. The kid got a flux core welder for his birthday. We like messing around in the garage. Might have to try Version #2

Now see if I can post a picture of my little MT180

I'm new to this form and tractors. Just got a fine Mits MT180. Two wheel drive. BIG turf tires. 20HP three cylinder. CAT1 three point hitch. We have a small motocross track around our five acres. 1:40 per lap. Got this machine (880 hours, $2600) as thought could use it to work and prep...
