My father picked up a M5700 this weekend. Overall its in nice shape, but we have a couple things we are trying to figure out. Most importantly, it has a 'knock' to it, that doesnt sound like a rod knock, but is something that does need attention, and we arent quite sure what it is. Seller had...

I ended up going with the Woods myself. My local dealer was able to get it for me, with free shipping. I am very happy with my decision. I used it in a friends driveway last spring. He called me one day asking me what tool he would need for spreading several trucks of gravel. I asked why...

This shows how I attached them to my bucket... It worked out quite well. I much preferred this method vs burning up my factory paint on my bucket.

I am not sure if they are the larger rocker opening like many of the other LS tractors... I have been pretty happy with these - Waterproof Bar Carling Rocker Toggle Switch Blue LED Bar Light Car Auto Sales | eBay I also get some custom rockers for them from this place - OTRATTW

This is something my wife started with my boys, who are home schooled, to encourage awareness of keeping fire hydrants clear. We did a total of 9 today with the tractor (some we just cleaned up), and the boys shoveled 8 last week. A few were tough as they were on the other side of a shallow...

When I started adding electrical stuff to my tractor, I added a solenoid under the hood, switched by the ignition, powering a fuse box. This gives me 6 fusible, keyed, power sources.

Its been a while since I added anything here... and honestly, i don think i have done any upgrades really anyway. But, last week, I needed to replace my rear work light. I had put the ROPS up one day over the summer to pour fuel in, and I didnt pin it up; and forgot. Knocked it down, and the...

See if this helps. Its from the owners manual of my LL3103, but I am pretty sure all the 'current' models use the same valve.

Verdict is in.... They picked up my tractor early yestarday - sadly it sat on their lot all day, and didnt go in the shop until this morning :confused2: bummed, since I could have used it! Anyway, they delivered it back tonight about 4:30! When I stopped in yesterday afternoon to check on...

Re: buying a "land grader"/"leveling blade"/"bionic blade" I just bought a Woods Grader Product Details I have had it since Friday - and I love it!

So I started hearing the dreaded fan hitting the shroud noise this weekend..... Discovered 2 cracks, one either side....

Anyone have any tips for keeping the stabilizers from turning into pretzels? The dealer tells me that you have to make sure they are as tight as possible. I did my best when I put the 2 bottom plow on last year, but in the end, it bent both stabilizers. They also tell me its not a warranty...

Does anyone have problems getting their quick attach handles to release from the bucket? I have actually bent mine trying to get them to pop free....

I am not far behind you!! Think last time I looked close I was at 187..... Splitting some firewood last year....
