    Need to replace steering seals on my L355SS, where to buy?

    Knuckle seals are belching 90w, will need to replace soon, after garden is in. Where do you folks get your parts online that you trust? For what it's worth, I'm located in the Pacific NW.

    Kubota 8.6-16 front tire, poor shape, needs inner tube, size?

    L355SS, 8.6-16 front tire... Can't afford new tires yet, but need a solution until then. I'm doubtful that this old tire will hold air, especially after a dismount/remount, even after the patch (leaky all over.) If I put a tube in it, what am I looking for in sizes, what range will work, and...

    Model M, Fanbelts, ARGH!

    I don't get it. All covers are off, steering wheel back, radiator out, and, mistakenly, I tried to remove the fan, but stopped when the 90w dumped out. How do I get the main belt loose, so I can replace the generator belt? Anybody, please? :confused:

    Model M John Deere, lower radiator hose cold?

    I am operating an old 1950 model "m", and after changing oil & other minor maintenance, I went out yesterday evening and cut brush for an hour. Afterwards, before putting the JD to bed, I noticed that the lower radiator hose was cold?? I don't think the coolant is circulating! I took off the...

    John Deere M putt-putt, cluch, right brake, & steering?

    I am reacquainting myself with this old tractor. I used to operate this JD-M back in high school, during the summers, along with Fordson, Case, Farmall, FM, and others, usually during the hay harvest, but logging too. Recently, this JD-M just came back to me thru an estate sale, and I'm...
