There should be a rate of drop of 3 point lift knob that is in front of the OP seat. it has a turtle or wabbit sign on it , rotating in the direction of turtle reducing the rate of hyd flow dump to lift spool valve hence slowing the 3 point drop. JC,

That looks good and workable. Certainly it is not a beauty contest. From this angle I can't tell but if the hose slightly rub against the pulley then you can make some sort of sling (same as copper band you used) and pull the sling slightly away with a tie wrap attached to something permanent...

Hopefully you can find. I suggest you take few pic in two planes and then take the hoses off. That picture might help you in the store also. JC,

I have taken my hoses off my 1700 and went to local auto store. I asked them if I can look to find a closely matching hoses. They told me come to the back of the shop and look at the radiator hose rack. Finding dia is pretty easy and just eyeballed the closest thing and had to trim it a bit. I...

Harry , you are right. I got up this am and had a pm in my in-box. I responded to it based on what he said there. I was also multi- tasking, did not read his comment here on this post and only copy and pasted my response from what i send him in his pm. You are right, my bad! " no reason to...

You have done everything that I would have suggested in you pm. My first thought was that rear wheel break is totally frozen not by temp but actually fused. With the rear jacked up and gear in neutral then how easy is it to rotate the tire? I would also remove the starter and transmission in...

1- I doubt if you have a main fusible link on the positive terminal. There is an slight potential there. 2- Did you do a continuity of negative battery lead to where it is connected to the frame? I am just thinking the copper may be busted internally and does not carry a high load. You can...

If the pump shaft seal that is a "double lip seal with spring" is leaking then no tightening will help out. I would worry about jumping out and start tightening things. Pump case tightening has very little to do with the seal. If it were my rig, I would then clean the area to the best of my...

Jay, Like everyone said, don't sweat it. It ain't a big deal, a bit of oil and water does not mean it gets sucked in to combustion chambers. Just take the bottom oil bowl out , dump the oil and water, wipe clean with a rag, fill with whatever oil you have (not cooking oil) and put it together...

I bought a manual steering for Kubota L175 from Kumar brother and replaced it with my ford OEM steering box that had a busted sector shaft. I had to make a bracket and fit it up. it works pretty good. Had it close to 3 years now. It is manual and not a power assist.

It is good to put di-electric grease in ground connection, a bit of grease on the connector also covers the metal surface and and slows down the Oxidation. It is odd how it happened. I knew the wiring harness is so well attached to the chassis and makes it so difficult to get snagged. I actually...

in my case I did not completely break the bead rather than loosened it and broke the film between rim and rubber, put the tire flat ad sprayed soap solution on one side. I duplicated the same on the opposite side, inflated the tire , put it on tractor and raised that axle overnight. That did the...

This is how you test the clutch neutral safety switch, 1- switch is normally open so with clutch pedal not pressed on the test light is off. By pressing the clutch down the light with illuminate proving a closed switch to complete starting circuit.

This is what TractorTech was talking about to short out the lugs with a screwdriver to turn the starter manually independent from any circuit or safeties that in this case is only neutral safety, lugs connected to bare wire and the red.

For the same reasons TractorTech brought up. At the very least you can prove operation of starter. if you cannot direct jump start the starter with a jumper cable then there is something wrong with the starter as well. I am not saying bad starter is the issue as you need to eliminate one by one...
