2017 model. 540 hours. 3pt hitch. 54" snow blade and quick hitch adapter. 54" mower deck. 4WD and 4 Wheel Steer. Tow-hitch included. Nice, well maintained tractor. Pickup only at zip code 21784 (Maryland). Price is $8500 firm.

There is no adjustment. Bypassing this one is not a safe thing to do. Some switches I will bypass. Some I won't. Yes getting to it is a booger. I think I"ll have to drop the hydro lines/filter down to get it out.

The clutch safety switch needs replacing on my Max 26XL. It looks impossible to get at. Has anyone changed this switch that can offer suggestions on how to get to it? Appreciate any help here.

I have a 40 gallon fimco on my 739. It works well for my 2.5 acres. I welded a spring loaded return spool on the top and upgraded the sprayer wand. I love it. Though, I did replace the pump with a better one. Use the wand more than the boom, mainly because I'm spraying weed n feed and have...

My latest contraption creation. I picked up this dethatcher on Craigslist. It was missing some parts to the lift mechanisms. So, I thought I'd just make it hyraulic actuated. I welded together a frame that fits the front receiver on my garden tractor and ordered a hydraulic cylinder, hoses, and...

I have a similar Gannon. All the lever/spring parts were gone on mine when I bought. Maybe a slightly different model, as mine used a torsion spring. I could not find anyone that knew where I could get parts for the lift. So I just removed what was left of the lever and welded a handwinch on...

I may have a blown head gasket. A lot of gurgling in the coolant reservoir and I've had to add about 1/2 gallon of coolant even though the tractor has just been sitting. Temp gauge, until now, has never risen above second dot at center of gauge. Now it goes up pretty high (not to red) and...

Tractor just had a full service and going over. I just changed all fluids, and oil, hydraulic, gas, and air filters. Lubricated all moving joints with fluid film, and greased every zerk good. After getting rid of that after market filter that cost me so much time and money, I've been working...

Today I changed the hydraulic fluid in my CK25 gear. When I started the tractor and began circulating the new fluid, the big hose (~27 mm ID) on the main line from the filter ruptured. I had to remove the backhoe, front end loader, and right side loader mount to get to it :mad:. Does anyone...

photo upload not working quite right.

We got 32" of snow and my little JD did an awesome job with it.

Yesterday while using my backhoe to move some rocks, I look down and notice the platform is pushed up in the air. The 3PH arms are all the way up, jammed under the platform. Now I am aware that the 3PH can be raised to cause this. So, when the backhoe is attached, I use my lift stop on the...

My little Kioti continues to impress me with what it can do for its size.

I like the way the sprayer sits up tight on the tractor. But, it's not big enough for me. I went with a 40 gallon femco, 10' boom on the 3PH. I welded a spring rewind spool of 50 feet of hose for the hand spray and welded on a piece of pipe to hold the wand. Those clippy things suck.

To continue thread. Got the filter/pump pit footer poured. Concrete Block delivered (this when I wish I had a CK40). Will start laying tomorrow.
