Got a new JD lawn mower today. Brought it home and put gas in it. Ran for about 5 minutes and stalled. Spent half of the morning trying to figure out what was srong with it. Ended up being a stupid plastic plug that goes between the tank and the cover. Duh. No ventilation.
Tried pushing brush with my Cub Cadet 7260. First I tweaked a hose and lost a couple of quarts of HY-Tran. Next, I broke off two of the bracket bolts for the FEL. (need to buy a crew extractor). Didn't realize bolts were broken until I put pressure on the loader. Next thing I knew, I could hear the fan biting the shroud (or visa versa). Only way to get at broken bolts is to remove FEL. Got anxious to get it off and turned too sharp when backing away from FEL. Pulled entire grill (including lights) off front of tractor. Spent an hour re-attaching that.
