Hello Spike56. I'm originally from Abilene, but joined the USMC outta highschool and am now in ID. I am 70 as of today, but despite that I'm going to welding school and should graduate in APR. All that means is that I'm not a pro either, and have little experience. But I do recognize that...

FALSE ALARM... I overlooked an earlier posting from someone who had the same problem. Reading someone else's reply, I RAN back to my tractor and discovered that I'd "bumped" a different lever, and guess what... when you do that, your 3-point hitch won't raise. UGH! (Were you guys wondering...

I was discing a field today and suddenly the 3-point wudn't raise. I disconnected from the discs, and it still wudn't raise. I went home and crawled around under the tractor, but cudn't spot any obvious problem. The hydro fluid level was okay. I have no idea what to do or try, short of going...

Hello, "L Tractor!" Congratulations on ur new tractor, but sorry u r having that AC issue. I got a new MT357 last year too (cab shuttle), but haven't had any problems w/operation or performance (thank You, Jesus). Getting the oil & hydraulic filters off was a challenge, but I didn't put the...

Gents, I recently bought a new MT357 and getting the oil filter off was very hard. I drove a screwdriver through it twice, because the first time didn't turn it enough to get it loose. It seems to me like a longer filter would enable me to get a filter wrench on it, and the added length...

I recently bought a new LS MT357 and getting the oil filter off was very difficult, because it was so short. Can anyone recommend a longer filter that fits?
