    Mits MT180....starts and stalls

    WTH? It slowly died on me yesterday. Took the glass bowl fuel filter off and the paper cartridge was caked in rust. That must have been the problem. Cleaned it real good, no rips or tears. Cleaned surface it mounts to and reassembled. Now does not want to start straight away. When it does...

    Does the MT180 have a thermostat?

    I'm guessing it would. Most internal combustion machines do. My HEAT lap comes on after some 10-12-15-20 minutes. I throttle back and by the time I get to the garage the lamp has gone off. Sometimes it spits a bit of coolant out. So, thought maybe thermostat is rusty, stuck, bent, not...

    MT180 issues......bumming

    MT180 It started and ran fine last time I used it. Slow cranking so I replaced the old battery. New cable ends on + and wires. Nothing?!  Like, not even a click click click or trying to crank. Not even a light on the dash. How could that be?! Could I have gotten a bad battery from...

    Hydraulic whine on hydro drive Mits MT180HD

    Got this cool little three cylinder diesel tractor. It is hydrostatic transmission. It has a whine noise to it. Maybe that is normal? It runs and drives fine. 3point hitch works proper. Just trying to figure out what is right. Figured I should change the hydro oil and filter. The filter is...

    Hydrostatic tranny: Foot control or hand control?

    I just got this cool little Mits MT180. Hydro tranny. Foot pedal makes you go forward or back. But there is linkage to activate the forward/reverse speed with hand control. A lever right nest to the throttle. That linkage is disconnected. Now that I've cut the grass and skidded some logs and...

    Best attachment to loosen up soil of dirtbike track?

    AS you can see: The "teeth" are lengths of angle iron 6-8" long. You can imagine it doesn't want to turn. I get free steel from work. The kid got a flux core welder for his birthday. We like messing around in the garage. Might have to try Version #2

    New owner MT180. Quick hydraulic oil question.

    Got this machine with 888 hours on it. 2WD, big turf tires. Changed motor oil in it right away as that makes sense to do. Now that I have 10-15 hours on it....and winter is coming....think I should change the hydraulic oil too. Was just looking it over and see there is a HUGE automotive type...

    MT180. Hood should have screen on top side? Mine is a panel

    Just got this machine with 888 hours on it. Heat lamp comes on after 15-20 minutes of grass cutting (60" belly deck). Tightened the belt as it was a bit loose....no fix. I notice the big 20"x30" panel on the hood is a different color. Riveted on. Thinking maybe that is suppossed to be a...
