I have had my 2305 for about 9 years. I have about 175 hrs on tractor with filled tire ballast . I have recently noticed the tires, as seen from the operator position, wobble when moving. Pressures are good. I have taken one of the tires off and checked the runout on the axle. I don't see a...

HI All!! Back again with tales of woe. I have been noticing that my parking brake handle had been a little cockeyed for a while. Today, I had to get into the cowling to tighten the throttle handle tension spring again.. I noticed that the Handle pivots on a shaft that is literally...

Was out plowing snow today with my:rolleyes: 2305 and kept having to push throttle lever back to maintain power. The lever is creeping back! Have checked the bolt that lever rides on and that is good and tight. Visually inspected throttle cable to body on engine, that appears good. Spring...

Here! back again after a busy summer. The brush hog ran quite well with chains but needs a couple of small mods. Brought the tractor home from the field and noticed a small leak in the driveway. I found the pipe plug behind the transmission /Hyd filter was loose and leaking. Tractor had...

Here are some photos I shot of the modifications that I have made to the King Kutter XB rotary mower to adapt to my 2305 with an I Match. Thanks to several of the forum members, I used various ideas to come up with this concept. All I have to do now is cut the chains after I get the length...

Just bought a mower from a dealer, and it has some very small chains clipped to the propshaft housing. What are they for???? JIM

Well my luck with purchasing a Rotary mower is going south. I bought a new King Kutter XB for my Scut with the JD I match. After reading some posts and talking to the factory it looks fruitless. I have not removed from the trailer. Some of the guys on the forum had mentioned a mod to the I...

Roy called this right!!! Talk about getting the shaft, and not the propeller shaft! Last week I checked the King Kutter web site for local dealers because I was looking specifically for a 48 Brush Hog and a local reputable tractor Company here in NH was listed as a close dealer. Calling...

Hopefully this Conforms to the Rule!!! Talk about getting the shaft, and not the propeller shaft! Last week I checked the King Kutter web site for local dealers because I was looking specifically for a 48 Brush Hog and a local reputable tractor Company here in NH was listed as a close dealer...

I am looking to purchase a used International M400 mower, 48" to use on my 2305. I have the Imatch. The top of this mower has a pivoting bracket. I have attached a picture. I am not sure if this will be usable on my hitch. The guy wants $500. plus I would have to buy a prop shaft. Any...

Well yesterday I decided to horse around with the tractor at my Mothers place. I wanted to move an old pile in the field that had some brush and bags of old material to be burnt. The field appeared to be dry until I got below the garden and dug into the pile with the FEL. This sunk the front...

Hi all: Has any one experienced your attachments scraping the ground when unloading your tractor from your trailer? My 2305 with IMatch and Ballast box hits the ground when unloading from my Big Tex trailer. The ramps that are provided are approximately 4 ft. I've raised the front of...

Well: After rewiring most of this beast when I got it and Emailing my problems to the sales dept....with no response, I've ended up with another SNAFU that I had to repair from BIG TEX. After sitting most of the first winter in my yard, it became necessary for me to use my new trailer...

Hi all; Me again! I have a big Tex trailer 16 ft 70ch with pull out 4 ft ramps. The ramps sit on a welded rail on the back @ the ramp has a lip that holds it from rear motion. Recently had problem with ramp width and have resolved that by cutting a notch in that lip to fit my tractor...

:eek: Hi All: Back again. Have just gotten my new Big Tex trailer registered. It is the 70CH with the metal ramps. I went to load my JD 2305 with FEL and BB, but I can't get the ramps close enough to allow my tires to safely go up the center. The two stake pockets in the rear prevent...
