Another tip-FIRST get the rear of the wagon pointed where you want the rear to end up. Aim the rear of the wagon, you could say. It's easier with an empty wagon and even easier yet if the deck boards run parallel to the centerline of the wagon. Then you can see where the wagon is pointed, as...

As long as were talking about electrical faults, I'd like to say this: A SHORT is a quick way of saying a "short circuit to ground" and that's the only place a short goes--to GROUND, prematurely--before power gets to its intended load. Usually this condition results in a blown fuse or burned up...

I'll look into these--THANKS!

As far as D/L speeds for streaming, i had "up to 1.5" and it would barely work. Lots of buffering, and very blurry. i got the telco (TDS) to upgrade me to a business plan, which is "up to 5" and that streams VERY well. It starts out blurry for 10 seconds or so, then automatically "shifts" to...

When fuel temperature falls below what's known as the cloud point, parafin molecules start to turn solid and stick to each other. Anti-gel fuel treatment coats each molecule so it won't stick to its neighbor. BUT. The fuel treatment must be added before the molecules start to stick. Usually...

Darned if I know how my post ended up here, but not a bad place to post it.....

Fuel gelling is caused when parafin molecules get cold enough to stick to each other. This temperature is known as the "cloud point" because the fuel turns cloudy looking as the molecules start to stick together. Anti gel treatment surrounds each molecule of parafin with a coating that keeps...

No, if it's blowing a fuse, it's not a bad connection, dirty connection or loose connection. Those issues don't blow fushes. It is a short circuit to ground or an overloaded (not likely) circuit. Try replacing the fuse with a 12 volt headlamp. If the headlamp glows brightly, the circuit has a...

Just a shot in the dark here. With the tractor on flat hard surface, rock it back and forth. If there is discernible "gear slack" it may be in the transmission or other gears. If there is NO slack, look for brakes sticking, froze, applied, etc. Is it cold there? Perhaps water in the bottom...

On my 1754, there are 2 buttons on the dash, ahead of my left knee. One of them supposedly initiates a "regen" as indicated by the graphic on the button. The other button toggles between 3 screens: MPH, SOOT and OFF. If yours has this setup, try that button. (I " think" the button nearest...

The spindle housing, spindle, bearings and seals are not cast in one piece at the factory. They are assembled by man, from components, and as such, they can almost always be disassembled by man. Inside, you will find ball bearings and seals which are available from an electric motor shop or...

If you had been using the tractor with the temp going significantly higher than "normal" you may have thrown a little coolant out the overflow each time it got hot. As suggested, top it off and check the coolant level before each use. And, check the engine oil, not necessarily for the proper...

Detents usually consist of a hard pin (or hard ball) nicely rounded at one end, which drops into a groove or socket in an adjacent, sliding component, and held into said groove with a pretty stout spring, thus locking the sliding component in position. If the spring breaks, the pin will not...

Clean the radiator. When you think youre done, put a trouble light in behind the radiator, next to the fan blades. In the shop or on an overcast day, if you can't see the light, youre not done cleaning. Be advised that there are several layers of screens and cooling devices that all try to...
