One last thing to add: nearly every part has an alphanumeric part number stamped on it that follows the same numbering scheme. Two numbers, a letter, then three more numbers. For example, the belt drive pulley is a two piece, with the parts being stamped 25H499 & 25H500 respectively. Has anyone...

This was a piece that was sitting in the fields for who knows how long. I did manage to get it going yesterday. Needs a needle bearing on the crank arm, a belt, and could use all new teeth, but it works! I guess it's not critical to know the manufacturer, but it would sure be nice. As far as I...

I hope someone here recognizes this mower, because I've internet searched for an hour now and I'm coming up blank. If anyone knows, that will be amazing, but any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Here's some pics:

Loosen your fuel cap 1-1/2 or 2 turns and put a piece of tape across to keep it there. Run it hard like that and let us know if there's any change.

Don't listen to the person making asinine comments about abusing your loader. He has no idea what happened and he obviously doesn't know that these loaders did have a sort of recall on the curl cylinders. Many, many people have had this happen in situations where it really shouldn't have...

Some pictures would be nice. Sheared roll pins are the number one suspect, for sure. You've verified them all, so we can move on. The crank arm attached to cross shaft, does it move up and down with the clutch pedal? I'm not particularly familiar with this tractor, but I assume the crank arm...

Can you share a picture of the potentiometer? I don't know about this one, but some potentiometers need to be adjusted so they're giving the correct reading at a given position. There may also be reset or relearn procedure required when replacing this sensor. Do you have a service manual? If...

Like @dodge man and @Carl_NH said, metal particles in the fluid and on the strainer is totally normal at the 50 hour service. This fluid sump does not just serve the hydrostatic motor. It's all hydraulics (hydrostatic drive, loader, 3ph lift, remotes, PTO clutch, and steering system) as well as...

When you say it wouldn't restart, do you mean it was cranking but not starting? Or not cranking, like just a click when the key was turned to start position? If it was cranking but not starting, likely a fuel issue. Warmer weather may or may not be enough to get fuel moving again. Regardless of...

-24C here yesterday. I checked the hydraulic functions during the first minute or so of operation and found that although the hydro motor and main pump were as whiney as ever when they're that cold, the cylinder functions all worked basically normally. Including three point hitch lift. The...

Holy geez man that oil is not "somewhat less than perfectly clear", as you put it lol. Yeah that's a lot of water contamination. My initial skepticism about water contamination was based on your description of the oil. A picture is worth a thousand words. As muddy as that looks, I doubt you've...

Well done on getting the immediate problem out of the way. As for the water intrusion, do you see any oil staining around any of the pivot points or gaskets on that front axle? That's usually a dead giveaway of where the problem is. If not, be suspicious of the fill cap allowing water in. Since...

Sorry LouNY I'm confused. It's been a long day. Which part are you disagreeing with?

Thank you! I greatly appreciate your input on this.

The bottom end of the price scale is this one at about $128 CAD, plus shipping and possibly an import fee. The high end is from my preferred dealer locally, and from what I understand is made by CBM Germany. It's the Cat 2S one you see below, and retails for $249. Basically double the price per...
