Anyone have a p/n or spec for a 3840 rad. cap? Thanks in advance h

3840 exhibits power loss after running under load (PTO) for approx 30 minutes. erratic RPMS. No issues dragging a blade around. Tank drained and treated several times. Fuel cap cleaned. filters replaced multiple times. It's getting beyond my capabilities to diagnose. Anyone know a mechanic...

Not getting a reading on the temp gauge and havn't located the coolant temp sensor (or whatever Montana/Mitsu calls it). Would someone kindly point me towards the sensor location? Thanks in advance. hp

Can anyone advise the battery group spec for 3840? Many thanks Howard

Gonna change coolant in my 3840 and noticed a small leak in the radiator cap. Might as well change that and thermostat while I'm at it. Anyone have a part number for one or both that I can cross reference at my local parts emporium? Thanks in advance. hp

Power loss while bush hogging. Replaced fuel filter and power returned for about 20 minutes. Thought I might have seen water in the bottom of the bowl so now the bowl was dumped and the tank is drained and refueled with fresh. Anything else I should be checking before returning to the field...

Tach on 3840 is jumping around. I suspect the cable. Is there a practical way to lube or should I seriously consider replacement? hp

Sanity check, how do you access the glow plug relay on a 3840, lower panel under the steering column? I have something intermittent between the fuse block and instrument cluster. Tapping either disrupts or fixes the circuit. Cleaned the fuse holder to no avail. Thanks in advance. hp

Planning for winter and looking for recommendations for a soft cab/windbreaker for a 3840. Thanks in advance. h

I hate to be dyslexic. None of the manuals seem to accurately picture where the oil pan drain is. Rather safe than sorry. Thought I'd verify/question here. The oil pan seems to be a "U" shaped design that straddles the the front axle drive shaft? One drain plug on either side of the "U"...

I should know this. Darned if I can find the recommended cold tire pressure for R-1, 8-16 mounted on a 3840. Something in the range of 30-35lbs? Thanks in advance. h

Anyone happen to know what size allen key Woods uses on the BB72. Would like to top off the gearbox and would prefer to take the guess work out of the equation. The manual mysteriously leaves the plug off of the pictorials and parts index. tia hp

Big thumbs up to Big Sky Equipment, based out of Clearspring, MD. The 3840 finally crossed the 50hr tick and Don Long shows up with the biggest Mack truck mounted crane I've ever seen. Three hours later he'd gone over the green machine from the loader to the 3pt, changed all the fluids and...

On 3840? Any feedback, one way or the other? The big Woods Brush Hog can be a pia sometimes :-) Many thanks h

I've just mated a Woods 72" BrushBull to a new Montana 3840 and noticed that the mower's manual recommends engaging the PTO at less than 540 and slowly bring RPM's up appropriately. The tractor's "korenglish" instructions basically say 540 RPM and engage warp drive... Anyone care to make a...
