I purchased a king Kutter (tractor supply "County line branded") and have had this PTO attachment for a few years. Facing the back of the mower deck, the right side mandrel bearings are shot and the mandrel is in need of repair. Is it better to just remove the mandrel and replace the bearings...

I own a 1993/94 Ford Newholland 1215 compact tractor and after 870 hours I will be replacing the hydraulic fluid and filter. I am the second owner of this machine and I do see evidence that hydraulic fluid and filter have been changed previously. We no longer have a Ford/Newholland tractor...

I would use an inspected (VIP - visual inpection and hydro tested) scuba pony bottle for compressed air that has a regulator with a low pressure port on that regulator. The low pressure port would give you the pressure you would need. This combination would ensure your safety and the safety of...

Well, if you die trying all of that landscape work in that heat, the only one you would be good for is the Lord in heaven. No more earthly tasks will be done by you going forward. Please keep cool any stay safe, hot weather is not anything to gamble with. You would lose to the heat every time.

I will locate a new hydraulic filter and new hydraulic fluid. I suspect I better check the fittings and hoses to ensure I do not have any minor leaks (I have not noticed any on my parking pad concrete) before adding the new hydraulic fluid. I appreciate all the good feedback. Still learning...

Only when it reaches the top (highest lift point). It does not shudder or vibrate, just lifts slowly and whines at max lift. This is a gear and clutch tractor for the transmission, only has hydraulics for 3 point lift.

I have a Ford/Newholland 1215 compact tractor that has a serious whine when raising the 3 point lift. It does raise so I know the pump is working and did notice the fluid reservoir was very low. My question is, could I have damaged the lift or pump running the pump with low fluid and if I drain...

my Ford/Newholland 1215 tractor has the ignition switch that has a pre-heat setting for the glow plugs- I pre-heated them and the tractor started however, the voltage regulator/rectifier started smoking like burnt toast, I quickly turned of the tractor and removed the battery cable. I have...
