    Mower deck wheels???

    I have a mid mount mower on a lsj2030. The 2 front deck height wheels can swivel 360 degrees. When I back up, then go forward the wheels turn sideways briefly and scalp the lawn. I have set them touching constantly to not touching at all,same results. If it contacts and its sideways, divot. I...

    Ls j2030 hydrostatic fan

    Ok guys, didn't see this topic when searching. I run a stick up into my fan, blades sheared off. Replacement part was around $20 shipped on Amazon. Fixing it wasn't straight forward, but after reading this, it will be easy for you. You will need 10mm, 12mm, philips screwdriver, hammer, punch or...

    dash panel acting up, engine dies when trying to move

    Something strange is going on with my J2030 tractor. I had the fuel can slip and a good amount of diesel went over the hood on right side(if your sitting on it). That is when the problem started, or so it seems. The tractor will start fine, but try to go forward or backward, or turn on mower...

    Cultipacker

    Built a 3pnt/tow behind cultipacker. Havent tried it in tow behind mode to see if there is any difference in performance, but it works pretty good in 3pnt mode. Center tube is 3x5x1/4" wall and end plates are 1/2". Center tube is filled with old wheel weights. Axle is 1 3/4" cold rolled steel...

    Cover, LS versus NH

    Looking at getting a cover for my LS J2030 and covermytractor.com has a nice one from what I hear. I wish it covered the fel, but it doesnt. I noticed the price is $435 for the LS, and for giggles I went to the NH Boomer 25(I believe they are the same tractor?) and the price is only $325. Will...

    J2030H assembly issues?

    I have less then 5hrs on my new tractor. I have had a few issues with things either not being tight, or coming loose. Id say by the lack of dented paint, they were not tight to begin with. Here is a short video I sent to LS. The hydraulic valve for the loader is held on with 2 bolts, one of my...

    Bought one LS2030H subcompact

    Well bought this last week, but finally got a chance to get it out and take a couple pics. It has the 3cyl Mitsubishi engine(27hp), 4x4 with 2 range HST. The hst is going to take some getting used to, cause when you let off the pedal, its stopping right now. Have to learn to feather it I guess...

    Help, how to remove belly/mid mount mower

    Im about 90% done with removing the mower, but didnt get a manual and have no idea how to remove the pto shaft. I see a bolt on the deck end, is it as simple as removing that and the shaft comes out? That would leave the shaft on the tractor, guessing that isnt correct. I dont see one of those...

    Truck tire chains adequate for a tractor?

    Im looking at tire chain prices and found that my tire size seems to be common with a truck tire. Mine are 33x12x16.5 tires on my subcompact. They physically look like a 33x12.50 my buddy had on his truck. Im guessing the 16.5 is the rim size? Comparing the 2(tractor versus truck) the difference...

    Home made Rimgard?

    I emailed a local dealer and they want $105 for Rimgard for (2) 33x12x16.5 subcompact tires and another $50 to pump it in(I bring them the tires). Rimgard is called beet juice and sugar is made from beets among other things. I just looked and a 25lb bag of sugar at walmart is $14. What could the...

    MMM versus RFM how to choose?

    Im buying a scut and have 1acre to mow. Some hills around walk out basement, flower beds, swing set/sand box, shed a few tree's. The RFM's are cheaper and you can get closer to the tree's, so are they the better choice? I have an exmark walk behind mower, but its getting older and so am I. Im...

    LS J2030H Price

    What is the best way to find out if Im getting a fair deal on an LS tractor? I live in MI and there are only 7 dealers in the state. I read on here that you have to find a good dealer, not sure how you do that when one is 15 miles away and the next closest one is 70+ miles away. I dont have a...

    Do Tractor Dealers give incentives on last years models?

    Well Ive made it this far without foolishly just buying this or that tractor and along the way my likes have changed considerably. Its Dec 31 and Im planning to go to my first dealer today (if they are open). When do the 2013 models show up(or have they already?) and do dealers have incentive...

    Seems like a good deal, but...

    Found this tractor locally and it seems like a good deal. The tilt steering and seat repairs could likely be put off for awhile. The hydrostat pedal not returning to neutral has me concerned. If these were easy/cheap fixes, wouldnt ya think the dealer would do them to increase odds of selling...

    Looked at a MF 50 no power?

    I went to look at a MF 50 tonight. Gas engine and he stored it outside. There was snow/sleet coming down and I didnt see any evidence he had gone out and started it prior to me getting there(good thing). So he pulls the choke and it fires right up. I was thinking thats a good sign. The...
