I remember reading a thread a year or so ago describing how an owner of a 2305/2210 added an elbow to kick the exhaust out to the side instead of forward. I have searched with no luck. Can anyone point me toward some useful info?

I scored a nice, used deck this weekend. I'm thinking about selling it. Can anyone suggest a fair price to list it for?

My TPH recently started dropping on its own with the lever in the up position and no implement attached. It seems to go down several inches when parked an unused and will even drop noticeably when I mow for an hour or so at a time. I am certain that it didn't do this until recently. Other...

I am thinking about finally going for the loader for my 2305. For those who purchased it separately, what is a good price?

Is one better or more effective than the other? I park inside my heated garage most of the time, but sometimes I need to leave it outside and with temps occasionally dipping to -20, I need to do something to be sure she will start if needed.

My new saw is going through oil faster than fuel. Is there an adjustment screw on the 235 that I'm not seeing?

I have been looking at the kit at Bailey's which as I understand it, bumps the 365's displacement up to that of a 372. I have been very happy with my 365, but wouldn't mind a little more oomph for blocking up larger maple, yellow birch, etc. I had the opportunity to use a 372, and could feel...

I am going to be buying a second saw very soon and have narrowed my choices to the Husky 235 or Stihl MS170. I have a Husky 365 which has served me well as my "do everything" saw. It's large and powerful enough with a 20" bar to drop and block anything I need to deal with, but it is a little...

This weekend, I was pulling a number of small trees I had dropped across my lawn to an area I was going to burn the brush. I was pulling them to the pile, limbing them, piling the limbs, then grabbing the next tree. While I limbed each tree and piled the limbs, the tractor would idle for maybe...

I finally got around to buying and mounting a set of HDAPs on my 2305. A few others here have them and seemed to be happy. My turfs were fine mowing my lawn, but obviously lousy when snowblowing my long gravel driveway (even with 2-link v-bar chains on the rears), and completely useless when...

Selling a like new set of 4 turfs from my JD 2305 with only 25 hours. 26x12-12 rears. 18x8.5-10 fronts. $200 obo. Located in central VT. PM or email jspryce@myfairpoint.net. Thanks.

Last night I mowed and noticed that on the discharge side of the deck, the outer sweep of the blade was cutting about 1" lower than the rest of the deck. Didn't matter if the tractor was leaning one way or the other or whether the lawn was smooth or bumpy. When I last mowed 4 days ago...

We got our first significant snow of the winter last night, finally giving me the chance to blow with my new setup. I found myself a little underwhelmed with the throwing distance, though... We had 12-14" of light/sticky snow. I was running at ~3000rpm, low range, cutting about 3/4 the width...

I removed the ROPS from my new 2305 to replace with a folding unit. If interested, make an offer. I would like to get it out of my shed.

Has anyone mounted the ATV style tires from the X-series on a 2305? I primarily mow and snowblow and run turfs. They work well, but the added traction looks like it would be nice.
