    Runaway diesel

    I just bought a used grasshopper 722dt6 with a 3 cylinder diesel. Engine only has 350 hrs. The first two times I cut my yard she performed flawless.

    Kx161 AC fuse

    So when it rains it pours. Just got my tractor back from repair and now the mini ex has a problem. This just started about two weeks ago, if I started my Ex with the ac on it would blow the 10amp fuse, so I would turn off the ac every time I killed the excavator. Now it's gotten to the point...

    763 grapple / hydraulic problem

    I loaned my 763 to a friend to do some dirt work, when I got it back I put my grapple on it to move some logs. Now The grapple won't stay up. If I open it it slams down with tremendous force. Any idea where to look to fix this problem, or am I missing something simple? Thanks for the help

    iPhone app pop up

    So I don't like using the iPhone tbn app, just feel more comfortable using the standard version. With that said I really hate the way the tbn site ask every time I open a page to get the app. Why not ask once and leave it at that. If I didn't want it on the home page and I didn't want it on the...
