Hi-I have a 748 with 7iron deck that I love, 360 hours and only a broken deck hanger (my fault) but it has an annoying feature. If i drive up a very slight slope it will shudder to the point it almost hops. Only at slow speeds, it I accelerate a little it seems to go away. My dealer poo-poos...

Hi-for those of you that replaced your u joints on the 2320 drive shaft, what u joint did you use? I just looked at a YouTube video where the man used "410" u joints as they only cost about $30 each compared to John Deere's $60 each. He removed them and measured them and went to the auto parts...

Hi-I have a 2320 and use a 4' Frontier rear mount weed mower that weighs about 520#. I'd like to use a finish mower at times and according to the literature when I bought it I was limited to a 48" size. I can get a used Woods RM59 that weighs about 450# or less and a new Bush Hog 60" weighs...

Hi-will have a bumper pull stock trailer that I'm leaving in Arizona and wonder what recommendations or experiences you all have had with locks for the trailer hitch so it theoretically can't be stolen. Searched the site back 3 years but must not have put in correct terms as I could not find...

Hi-I have a several year old TN60A with a vinyl seat. It is cracked and I'm wanting to replace the seat part, not the back. Any recommendations as to after market seats that fit. Could not find anything with search on this site, ebay will always defer to "tn 60 set" rather than seat!! It is...

Hi-I've decided I "need" a night vision scope, to look at birds, critters, keep track of the horses, etc. I borrowed my neighbors Bushnell Gen I monocular scope and it is nice but no longer available. I've searched and wonder what you readers use for this? Do I stick with Gen 1 (affordable for...

Hi - I have an 05 Featherlite 4 horse gooseneck horse trailer that I've had for 5 years, and use it 2 times a year hauling horses 1000 miles each time over 2 days each time. I've not keep up my floor inspections like I should have and pulled the mats today and the last stall has several areas...

Hi-first cutting of the season, 2 y/o 748 with 58 hours and when I push the reverse pedal, the 15amp switched power circuit fuse blows. It did it last year a time or two, googled and searched sites I'm familiar with but found no answers and it quit doing it. Now I'm down to my last fuse, I've...

In my few years of lurking and posting on this site I have become very impressed with Diamondpilot. His knowledge base is enormous, he seems to be the first to answer posts, he is direct, to the point and friendly, his answers have been very helpful to me and I think he must live on this site...

Hi-I have a gn horse trailer, and bumper pull horse trailer, and googled to find out recommended tire rotation patterns that people use and found out that many on RV boards, etc, don't recommend rotation. Any thoughts from this site on whether rotation is advisable or should not be done...
