    GC1705 - dual front axle leaks. Diagnosis, parts, and cause?

    I guess it all depends. Indefinitely put a lot of stress on the front axle as I use mine with the loader/backhoe/implement more than anything. Mine also started after I lent it to my dad who was definitely maxing out the front capacities and dropped the tractor in a foundation trench front end...

    What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

    Decal/toolbox looks good. I'd be skiddish having that thing out there like that myself. Low and away things for me tend to get hooked and bent

    What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

    We're in spring mud purgatory here in my area. Snow is melted and we've been getting intermittent squalls the last 3 days but nothing too exciting.

    Massey still in shop Nov '21' March 25 any recourse? A lemon law?

    Most lemon laws require a series of failures on a single machine over a span not just 1 long service span. If it's parts/supply chain theres nothing that can be done other than trying to sell the machine and buying a new one. That said, good luck finding inventory that isn't inflated out of sight

    Cost to add loader to GC series

    Oh, no. Typically the cost of machine purchased all in 1 can't be beat, used or new. Both new and used prices are similar to cars nowadays in that lack of supply has it all out of whack.

    Cost to add loader to GC series

    That's a challenging question given both supply chain and the sharp increase in cost of goods. Does your tractor already have the FEL valve body on it?

    Grapple hydro line from 3rd function valve

    Your not alleviating fluid your relieving residual pressure that wasn't properly released before disconnect. This also happens when you leave an implement disconnected in the sun and it builds pressure due to heat. In theory, If you have weeping cylinders it would eventually cure itself.

    Grapple hydro line from 3rd function valve

    Couple different ways. 1) using a RUBBER mallet, hit the connector to relieve pressure 2) have someone apply pressure on the grapple lid to alleviate pressure or 3) if your ready to get messy, loosen the fitting

    Woodland mills stump grinder

    I'd try and repurpose an old electric winch and stay in the seat to watch the grinder/turn the steering wheel accordingly. Far easier and safer to push a button than stand in the danger zone or pull blind to the stump with a manual unit

    cutipacker for breaking up manure in pasture?

    Ye' ol' landscape rake! I have one of those....one of my favorite attachments truth be told. I use mine for driveway work, dirt's grading and debris cleanup. Its action is similar to a spring tooth harrow but with a more dense set of fingers

    cutipacker for breaking up manure in pasture?

    The chain link idea is a substitute for a drag chain harrow. Very similar concept without the last power
