    Deck Handling

    All, I have a GT3235 w/54" deck. Now I do LOVE this tractor, it is built like a tank and really get the job done. However the one thing I HATE about it is working on the deck. This thing weighs around 350lbs and is a beast to take on and off. Then to stand it up to clean/change blades/etc is...

    Chains  Tire Chains on GT3235

    I have a GT 3235 with a 42" blade - after slipping around last year with just tire weights I got a set of chains from my dealer. This past weekend was my first opportunity to use them. They did give me very good traction - when they stayed on the tire!!!! I had to put them back on twice!!! How...

    Deck On or Off?

    I am going into my second snow season with my GT3235. I have the 54" blade in the front with the hydraulic lift/angle. Question is do I need to take the deck off or can I leave it on? Last year I left it on but honestly it is a pain to take off - VERY heavy (I had back surgery 10 weeks ago) and...

    Deck Stand

    Has anyone here fabricated a deck stand for their CC mower deck? I have a 3235 with a 54" deck. This thing is a beast to move around and stand up to clean/change blades. I would also like to stand it on edge for storage during the winter (I have a blade that I push snow with). Any suggestions...

    Oil Light is on and it will not start

    I have an '05 GT 3235 that died on me last night. It was running fine (I had just mowed 1 acre and sprayed 2). I was washing out the underside of the deck (with it running) when it just died. Now the oil light is on and when I turn the ignition I get nothing. If I turn the key on I hear a...

    GT3235 Stuck Throttle

    All, I have been having a reoccuring issue that has finally become permanent. In the past when I would throttle down my GT 3235 while mowing (for what ever reason) and then try to throttle back up the lever would go but the engine would stay in low. If I stopped and started the engine it would...

    GT 3235 w/Gator Blades Bogs Down

    I just put a new set of Gator Blades on my 54" Deck of a GT3235. Unless I drive a a virtual snails pace it bogs down horribly, even when cutting only 1/2" off the grass. The blades loose speed and I can (sometimes) smell the belt getting hot as it slips. The blades also can take up to 10...
