I'll certainly check into that. Thank you very much.

I *think* your tractor is a bit above mine in size and a few other things, but I'm hoping I can use these PDF's to help us out. According to your documents, your neutral safety is on the dash, whereas my shifter is to the lower left by the driver's seat. No biggie, I just have to remember...

Hi folks. Long time member, but I haven't posted in a good while. I'm back to having problems with my LS XR3032H. I bought this tractor new in 2014 from a now defunct dealer. This tractor has been a nightmare's nightmare. It has been in the shop over and over since I originally bought it...

Stay as far away from LS and any LS related products as you can. I own a 2014 LS XR3032H with FEL and backhoe. I've had nothing but problems from this tractor. I had to hire an attorney to get most of the things straightened out on it, and it still isn't right. Guess what? It's out of...

I was led down the wrong path by buying a LS XR3032H tractor. That tractor has been in and out of the shop so many times I don't recall how many times it was in for repairs. I had to get an attorney to help me with the warranty repairs, and LS still wouldn't reset the warranty back to "as...

A long time ago, Farmall/International Cubs had front and some had rear (1pt hitch style) blades. They also had "feet" that could be set at different heights due to holes drilled in the long side of the feet. I used those ideas and made a set of snow feet for my back blade. It worked very...

Hi folks. I'm finishing up my winter tractor maintenance. As I finished up greasing the front axle pivot on a couple of other tractors, I couldn't remember doing the same for my GC1715. I stopped what I was doing, and crawled under my MF with a flashlight. To matter what angle or where I...

They say a picture is better than a thousand words. I'm going to try to attach a couple of photos of the land in question. It is a decent sized area located uphill from my pond. My property is fairly clear with only a few trees. But it is bordered by one of my farming neighbors property, and...

Hi folks. It's been a long time since I had any time to post here. After doing a lot of leaf raking this past year, I've finally decided to get a leaf vacuum system for me to work with. Quite frankly, I'm getting too old to try to rake all those leaves around here. I live on almost 3 acres...

I bought my GC1715 mid July 2015. It didn't take long for it to start earning its keep. It helped me install a brand new B&S 18 HP Vangard engine in my Simplicity Landlord. The forks came from Titan, and have been a tremendous help as you can see. The hoist is an electric hoist from Harbor...

Hey folks. I ran another test last night on my new GC1715 for operating the turn signals. Please read my notes and if you have one of this series of tractors, could you respond and let me know if your tractor does the same thing? I'm not sure if my tractor has an electrical defect or...

Hi folks. Sad to say, I need to post something that is going to irritate some people. Back around April of 2015, I posted here asking if anyone with an XR3032/3037 was having any issues with their parking brakes holding. In specific, were the parking brakes holding the tractor in reverse when...

Good morning folks. I was asked to post some photos of the Massey Ferguson 1526 I stumbled upon just before the Fourth of July. I apologize I do not have a whole lot of photos as I was originally looking at a MF GC1715 tractor to begin with. It never dawned on me to take more photos of...

Hey folks. I'm checking out the Massey Ferguson line of sub compacts. I've had some contact with other members about the GC 17xx series tractors. They've all been very helpful with their answers. I wanted to ask some of you if you had experience with either bush hogging with your GC 17xx...

Thanks aginn. I hope I can get it ironed out. I tried the tractor again this weekend, using it to help me lift fuel for my garage's heating fuel tank. Pulled tractor near tank, set bucket on tank, pushed hard on the brakes and pulled up on the parking brake. Yep, once again, the tractor...
