I am buying a used 4-foot Land Pride mower tomorrow. I don't have the model number, but it is used, it's a side-discharge, the spindle pans are triangle-shaped, and it has four caster wheels. It looks like a nice mower, and there's a dealer just up the road from me for parts. $500. Does...

Wonder if anyone else may have had this problem....The Glow element in the dash heats up fine, and ONE of the three glow plugs heats--the closest one to the dash. The center plug only gets slightly warm, and the plug closest to the radiator doesn't appear to get any heat....Anyone troubleshoot...

I found out why my battery drains on my S470d....the smaller ground wire that comes off the wire loom next to the starter was kind of pinched between the mesh motor guard by the exhaust, and the clutch bell housing. The vibration from the motor wore off the jacket on that smaller ground wire...

I happened to put my hand on the hard, metal hydraulic line that runs down the tranny by my left foot from the pump to the rear & hitch portion of the tractor, and it was vibrating a little...I don't think I've ever noticed it before--it may be normal for it. Anyone notice this? The hitch...

Post up your pictures!

I'd like to repaint SOME areas of my Satoh Buck's frame, front axle, etc. Some parts are good, and don't need repainted or re-sprayed. I'd like to know if anyone has found a close match to that dark blue color. Is Ford Blue close?

I'm a new Satoh owner, and wanted to drop in and say hello. Picked up a nice used Satoh Buck S470d a couple weeks ago. 540 hours. Super heavy duty 5-foot rear Ro-Tech Master finish mower. Real good mechanical condition, but it needed basically all kinds of maintenance, since none had been...
