I look forward to the answers you will get as I also have a 353. Did you do your own 50 hr service? What fluids/filters did you change? I am about 10 hours away but I would like to get all my ducks in a row for when it is time.
I must agree with you about how satisfied you are with the TYM tractor. It worked great for me this winter (my first with it). No problems with the 68" Meteor Snow Blower other than my gravel driveway is now part of my shredded bark planter areas.:laughing: Oh well live and learn!
I can't wait to use it more when the soil dries up a little more, I have some dirt to move along with wanting to get 4-5 cords of wood ready as soon as possible.
