    voltage regulator for 1700

    Guys, Has been a long time since I have posted, but having problems. Took alternator off and had tested at Advance Auto. They said it was bad and could not cross over. Took it to a rebuild shop and said it was charging fine. I searched here and found a thread that said to use a '72 Datsun...

    Charging Problems on MF135

    Guys, Need some guidence. My FIL has a MF135 (gas) that he says is not charging. I will go down to his farm with him Saturday to try to help him diagnose. It sounds like the voltage regulator to me, but this is what he is telling me: meter shows discharge until RPM's are up pretty high and...

    YANMAR RSA1302 TILLER

    Does anyone know what a fair price for a tiller like this would be? Local guy has one that is in fair condition. The paint is peeling in several places and looks like it encountered several large rocks (couple of dents in sheet metal) at some point. Tines look to be in good condition and it...

    1700 LEAKY INJECTOR

    Guys, I have a leaky injector that bugs me. I have responded on a different thread about this and I think the head will have to be pulled to fix (I hope not). Sorry...I can't remember who said that: Ernie, California, Danny, Mark?????? It does not effect the running of the tractor, but you...

    1700 REAR LIGHT MODIFICATION

    I have a 1700 and would like to add a light facing towards the 3pt. What I was thinking about doing is using the existing switch that controls the "turn signals". I was thinking of wiring the two flashing lights to one side of the switch and the light to the other. That way; when I flip the...

    Ballast  Filling Rear Tires on 1700

    Guys, Don't mean to sound like an idiot, but do the rear tires on these machines have tubes? I have looked at the tires and they do not say tubeless, but the valve stem looks as if they could be. I am ready to fill the tires with windshield washer fluid and water. Also, how much windshield...

    Price Check  ZD21 used price

    I have found a used '02 ZD21 mower with approx. 180 hrs on it for $5750.00. Is this in line for used or should I write a check for it tomorrow? It seems to be in good shape except for couple of dings in hood.

    1700 glow plug / thermostart

    Alright guys; forgive my ignorance and bare with me because I am "beating a dead horse" and not real familiar with diesel engines. I guess I have some misconceptions about what a glow plug / thermostart system actually does. In a past post that I had (2000 to 1700 thermostart); one of the...

    2000 to 1700 thermostart

    Hi to all I have done a search and it sounds like the 2000 comes with thermostart (or did; looked at local 2000 but did not have) and I know that several parts are interchangeable, but is it possible to take the thermostart system from a 2000 and install on a 1700? Has anyone ever tried this...

    1700 front weight / gauges

    I know that I should have posted in "projects", but I wanted to share with the Yanmar guys. The weight is made out of 10x4x1/4 tubing and is filled with scrap pieces of 1" thick plate. The voids left in the weight was filled with sand. The weight comes in around 80-85 pounds. The best thing...

    RPM's on 1700

    RPM\'s on 1700 I want to say that my RPM gauge shows a "red line" at 2200 RPM. Full throttle will run more than that, but what is a safe maximum RPM to run a 1700 at? I will run at 2000 RPM while mowing with a 5' finish mower, but sometimes would be nice to have the extra power in the thicker...
