I had the same problem with my Legacy with a Kawi. it was always the carb. Like Randy said Chinesiumn carbs can be worse than a 20-year-old original. James Condon on You Tube works on small engine carbs all the time and he will attest to that. His videos were very helpful in carb rebuilding. If...

Unfortunately, no. I did a job in a Sherman Williams Research center, and they had stains and paints laid out in full sunlight. The guy there said he had all brands there with test samples, at best a horizontal surface in full sunlight will need a recoat in 2 - 3 years depending on condition...

I looked at them long and hard and tested every one of them in my area which is basically the same as yours . I bought a Kioti 2520. I use it for grass cutting and snow blowing. I did not like the LS or Mahindra they just were a lesser quality build fit and finish and would not buy...

Mine would up being the bracket that everything mounts to was bent. On a parts diagram it was part 23, and it cost $48. I just replaced it runs like new. 1620 is totally different. look for bent or worn linkages and mounting plates. A service manual has the procedure for setting the cent...

Thats correct but the gauge doesn't say for diesel engines. My pressure rating was off. I stand corrected.

All compression testers have gauges that go from 0 - 300 psi. The only thing that's different in the gas diesel testers is the adapters in the kit.

Read post 23 Lou. Or can't you read. It say you cant use a compression tester on a gas engine.

A gas engine makes anywhere from 8:1 - 14:1 compression you most certainly can check the compression on a gas engine. How does that dumb ass statement pertain to a diesel tractor. Compression tests are done to check the health of gas engines all the time.🍻

As an owner of a healthy TC 29 D I can tell you for a fact that that engine will start with no glow plugs no problem. Mine sits outside all year, and it has started in -0 temperature without a block heater. Compression test procedure is correct, disconnect power to glow plugs, battery...

If you go on you tube, there are some very good videos that will walk you through doing a compression test. Search [Tractor compression test]. Long Lane Tractor in Elizabethtown PA is a NH graveyard who usually has a good stock of that vintage parts. Very honest people very helpful If you have...

Do a compression test. Smoke from the oil fill indicates blowby. Hit with some either to try to get it started. Sounds like low compression. You got fuel,Air, and power. 🍻

I didn't know cars came with a forestry protection package. 🍻

Hello. I have a tc45d tractor and I was using it today all morning. I lowered the 3 point hitch, got off the tractor to move something, then got back on and the hitch will not go up. I looked at the contol lever and it is hooked up and moving. I checked the oil level and it was good. everything...

I found that the lever for the return to neutral was bent and not letting the bearing travel straight on the pedal bracket. Adjusted everything on there and the tractor still occasionally will not return to neutral. Is there any thing else to look at?

Thats what happens when you spend too much time in Amish country. 🍻
