    JD 345, FD611V, engine rattle

    The part number I have is AM 118447. The Mower Jack is a 750# capacity Fischer, and it's at only about 1/2 the height it can lift. I finally bought the mower lift for working on my lawn tractors, and my new zero turn.....especially nice for the deck removals, AND, blade changes/sharpenings.[/SIZE]

    JD 345, FD611V, engine rattle

    I brought it into the garage this morning, and was determined to find where it was coming from. I removed the deck, and crawled underneath to check what I could find. I took Zebra5 suggestion, thinkign it may have been the main drive belt idler pulley, and what I found was the front idler...

    JD 345, FD611V, engine rattle

    First, a little background: I bought it new, 1998, 54" deck, powerflow bagger, and has the FD611V, liquid cooled, so it does NOT have the plastic cam gear. I have maintained it regularly, and had a water pump replaced BY THE DEALER, about 2 months ago. It has been running fine, but in the...

    What clearcoat paint to keep Majic paint from fading?

    I'm looking at painting an MF 135 with Majic paint (from TSC), and based on others who have fading issues with it, unless clear-coated, what type of clear coat would you suggest (lacquer, urethane, acrylic, etc. ?) The Majic paint will be applied with the hardener, if that makes a difference...

    8N will not throttle up

    Well, my 8N (a 1951 model, SM distributor) all of a sudden has no throttle response. It will start, but barely runs, and does not increase speed when throttle is advanced. Yes, I checked all the linkages and fuel flow to the carb, and they are apparently normal. I checked compression, and all...

    1998 John Deere 345 cuts out

    I have a John Deere 345 that we bought new in 1998. It's at about 950 hours right now, and is 70000+ serial number. The water pump failed, and that required pulling the engine, so I took it to the dealer for the repair. (Not too bad at $700+), I thought. When it was retruned, the first time...

    345 with 54" (not C) deck, power flow bagger question

    I have 345 with the 54" deck, not a 54C deck, and have the 6.5 bushel powerflow bagger on it. The top is cracked, the seal is missing on one side, the framing is bent, and it doesn't seal. Rather than putting a pile of money in parts, does anyone know it the same bagger system that's for a...
