    Ford 1900 radiator overflow

    I have a Ford 1900, bought new in 1982. The last two times I used it I have some coolant dripping from the radiator overflow. Left about a 6 inch diameter puddle on the drive. I replaced the radiator cap with one matched up from Autozone after the first indecent and it did it again. The temp...

    culvert question

    I have a 12" culvert, HDPE Dual wall H25 rating. I need to get more gravel over it. Right now there is only about 1/2 inch of gravel over the top. I am wondering if my RAM diesel and 12' x 6' gravel trailer could go over it to spread more. I don't have a way to turn around and I am not going to...

    Rear snow blower faster than 540

    Does anyone know of a snow blower that is geared up to run faster than 540 RPM? I didn't find one searching. My blower on the L3400 throws snow about 15 feet and plugs easily in wet snow. I have a Honda walk behind that throws snow about 30 feet and never plugs. I feel the need for speed on my...

    Stihl dealer has no saws

    I stopped my my dealer today to get some oil. A Mom and Pop dealer with great service. He had three saws on the wall. This spring it was full. I asked why so few. He said Stihl now requires you to pay up front before you sell them and he did'nt have enough cash to stock the wall. Does this...

    Big Hornet

    This isn't a tractor post but I am wondering if anyone has seen a hornet this big. I killed one in my tractor garage last week and this one showed up today on the screen of my cabin. I wonder if this is one of those Asian hornets. I have never seen one near this size until this year. I am in...

    How many hours on your L3400

    Just wondering how many hours and what problems you have had on your L3400. Mine is a 2005 bought new. It has 360 hours on it. It is used with a Woods RD7200 finish mower and a snow blower. I have no end loader on it. Almost all the hours are with the PTO running. My dealer replaced the 3PH...

    PTO Cable finally broke

    The last few times I enaged the mower at idle it was a bit jerky starting up. Today the cable broke off at the lever end. The cable must have been hanging on by a few threads and stretched towards the end. It lasted 368 hours and seven years. I called four dealers near here and nobody stocks...

    L3400 HST question

    I've had my 2005 since new and never really noticed that the HST pedal has play in it. I noticed the pedal is loose on the HST control arm bracket, but It does not tighten up. It may have been this way since new. So, are your pedals loose or tight to the HST control arm?

    L3200 question

    I sat on an L3200 today and while there is a slot for the cruise conrol lever, there is no lever. Did the dealer not install it or is it an option now?

    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating  Errant shear pin

    I went over to the farmer across the street to clear a drift on his gate he couldn't get with his back blade. There was a tree branch in there so I broke a shear pin on the impeller. Normally no big deal. I drove back to my garage to replace the pin and found the impeller was jammed. It became...
