does anyone know what the H and L needles settings should be on a 2 cycle Mantis? I've opened them both 1 turn from gentle seating but I don't want to lean it out too far. It won't 4 cycle like a chainsaw. simonmeridew

My 4400 wouldn't start last week. 280 trouble free hours bought new 8 years ago. It cranked fine, fired but wouldn't start or run. First time ever. I checked the filter( no water or debris), I opened the fuel shutoff with the filter off (plenty of fuel), put the filter back on. Still no start...

My 51 8N isn't charging. Wiring is intact and continuity is there. Ammeter shows slight movement to the neg side when the key is turned on, but starting the engine doesn't resolve this like it used to do. The contacts don't appear stuck in the regulator, as far as I can see. Are there brushes...

I have a Kubota L4400 with standard FEL and want to install a rear remote setup in order to rotate the chute on a rear pto snowblower. I would expect to have my dealer install as part of snow blower purchase. What kind of valve would be used--open center, closed center, power beyond, detent...

Where can I buy one of those ring exhaust gaskets for my 8N? I don't see any listed in my usual sources for 8N parts. Also I need a set of front wheel bearings with seals, any ideas? simonmeridew

Is there any setup available to operate a front mounted snowblower on a L4400? I don't know anything about the PTO setup as far as a midmount PTO in my tractor. Just exploring options simonmeridew

I have a 2 bottom Ford plow. One of the mouldboards broke off on the back end. The way it "popped" when my son backed up into a tree made me think it is a casting, plus it didn't bend or distort before it broke. I'd like to weld it, but not sure if it is cast steel or cast iron or even a forging...

Any recommendations for a 3 pth snowblower, rear mount, for my L4400 Kubota? Northern Vermont gets a lot of snow, for the last few years I push it around with my front end loader, but I'm thinking of upgrading. I don't have rear hydraulics on my tractor. simonmeridew

Looking from the side the crankshaft pulley is wobbling suddenly(my son uses the tractor now) and we want to repair it, but want to know what to expect, since taking off the hood disables the tractor till it's fixed, and it's used daily. I don't know why it's wobbling now. Can it just be pounded...

See my previous thread here and Soundguys suggestions. They were right on. Hope the pics work. I tried to compress the pics so that dial up folks can access. Trying to show procedure to replace pin in a place that it is not readily apparent how to get at it. first pic shows the tractor well...

Where can I get new lower link pins for my 8N?( the pins that are taper fitted into the center casting by the differential that the lift arms clip to) One of them snapped off today and I'm sol without it. simonmeridew

I have had a WoodMaster 4400 outdoor boiler for the past 3 winters. I've lost the directions as to changing the upper temp figure on the ECT control and the lower figure. There's some sequence in pressing the little buttons on the control but I can't remember what to do. I want to raise the temp...

One day this winter, the battery was dead on my 1950 8N. I bought a new 6 volt battery, when I tried to hook it up, solenoid clicked and it tried to start the tractor, without me pushing the switch, etc. Disconnected the wiring from the starter switch. Same deal. I put a new VR on about 30...
