    Anybody want to trade tires/rims?

    Hey folks, I have a L3800 with just over 120 hours on it. When I purchased it, I had the need for R1 tires since I had big plans to do a lot of plowing. Well, as luck would have it I do very little plowing, but I do however do a great deal of mowing and the R1's are tearing up my yard...

    Why is this leaking and what is it?

    I have a L3800 HST with 174 hours. I tried to mow grass yesterday but as soon as I engaged the PTO I heard this awful knocking noise, so I immediately shut down. I dropped the mower and started looking around and noticed the sight glass showed no oil!! OH NO, well I freaked out and added more...

    In delivery room....waiting!

    Well by delivery room, I mean my nose is pressed against the front window looking for the delivery truck. Expecting a bright, shiny new L3800 with FEL, quick-tach 66" bucket and a canopy to be delivered sometime today. I sold my JD 2305 a few days ago and after looking and looking and then...

    Frontier GM1060S mower - belt trouble

    Just when I got my life straight and my relationship with God was where it needed to be, the belt on my finish mower broke and I decided to change it myself...:mad: So here I sit with one smashed finger, a crow-bar shaped bruise across my chest and a hurt ego from showing my kids how "Daddy can...

    What's happening to JD???

    I bought a 2305 about 3 years ago and so far have been happy with it. As part of my purchase I also got a Frontier GM1060S grooming mower. Well I have spent the past 3 years trying to get the dang blades off to sharpen them, and each year I have just given up and used an angle grinder with the...

    Plow day....Alabama style

    I've read with great interest about northern "plow days" and thought I would share the Alabama version. Nothing like walking around outside when its 98 degrees with 82% humidity, surrounded by iron and steel and all the barbeque and fried pork skins you can tolerate! :D But all joking aside...
