I was trying to use a homemade receiver hitch that I made for my old tractor (Jinma 254). It was a Cat 1 and it worked fine. I thought I made it to Cat 1 specs.. I will look into a quick attach.

Full set of pictures included. I tried removing the sway links and it's these points here that are holding me up:

I'm trying to get Cat 1 implements onto my 2305. I cannot get the arms to open wide enough. I called JD support and their answer was to run out the adjustment all the way, which does open it, but not enough, and just makes it lopsided. Is this thing not meant to hold Cat 1 implements, or am I...

I finally snapped off my exhaust on a tree branch. I know I've seen some threads about rerouting the exhaust down on these rigs with FELs, but the search is failing me. Does anyone have that info readily available?

I've got a small shed that's wide enough for lumber racks on one side, and a path that I can drive through on the other. I'm looking for a way that I can easily load and unload fairly heavy wood slabs onto the top shelf of the rack. The rack will be cantilevered, and the top will be about 5...

I haven't checked the tach sensor. Should just be able to put a volt meter on it, right? Here's the rest of the gauges. They've had a rough go of it :laughing:

I recently picked up an old (pretty early, likely '80s though I'm not sure since the model number has worn off) Troybilt Super Tomahawk chipper. The motor runs ok, but the performance is underwhelming. Would the conversion to PTO be simple as taking off the motor, putting on one of these (PTO...

Based on my other recent thread it sounds like I'm going to need to replace the clutch in my Jinma 254. The complete clutch assembly is about $400, or I can get the individual plates for about $60 each (pto plate and main plate). Is there any reason why I would need to get the whole assembly...

Ok, I think I understand this now, and if someone could let me know if I got this right, that would be great. For the main clutch, there are these two measurements ("A" and "B" in photo) that can be made on all three fingers. They are tied together (adjusting "A" will change "B"). The...

From my reading, if the clutch is slipping, that means I need more pressure on the plate. None of the articles I've found indicate how to do that, they're all how to set the free-play. Is adjusting this gap here how I get more pressure?

Since this is my first time owning a tractor and first time piloting one (besides a lawn mower) since I was a youngster, there are some things I'm not really sure about operationally, particularly regarding gearing. The tractor doesn't stall. If I put it in a gear and let off the clutch, it...

I bought a Bush Hog Finish Mower in an auction, and this was with it, but I don't think they belong together.

I can't be 100% sure it's the right starter, but I trust the supplier that it is. It's tough to take measurements on it, but it seems like the new starter has about 1/4" less travel than the old one. Is that enough to make a difference? Here are pictures of the new starter. Should the...

I ended up getting an all new reduction gear starter from Affordable. It's still not starting. I've installed a relay on the ignition wire, so I'm very confident wiring is not the issue. Here's the full sequence of what happened: Yesterday, when I put the new starter on, the bottom bolt...

Where would that check valve be located? Any idea what this piece is here? Here it is removed. I've attached the PDF of the mechanical drawing if that helps also.
