Here's the question. I have a T1030 NH tractor and use it to mow in the summer and clean snow in the winter with a rear blower The issue in the summer is the 3-point arms drop low with the mowing mid-deck and sometimes dig into areas. I have removed the arms for the summer previously ..... but...

Just passing some info for the owners of the Canadian blowers. The electric motors that sometimes fail are simply 2000 lb. winch motors. Mine failed a decade ago and KD Martin wanted over $400. to replace it. After research I discovered that you can substitute a winch motor for under $100. Just...

I have a Husqvarna 2354GXLS tractor with a B&S engine. Yesterday I changed out the transparent in-line fuel filter. Today I used the machine for about an hour without any issues. Before I put the machine away I lifted the hood from the seat to double check that the new filter was not leaking. I...

So let's change spark plugs on our Husqvarna with the B&S model # 386777 1292G1 (23 hp) engine. The tractor manual for the 2354GXLS says use a RC14YC gapped at .040 The sticker inside the hood says a RC12YC would be the correct temperature plug. The Briggs & Stratton site confirms the engine...

I noted today that the rubber pad on the reverse pedal of the T1030 New Holland with HST had worn through & metal was showing on the edge. $35. dollars for a 3"x4" chunk of molded rubber. Good grief.

I have a 2354GXLS tractor and one of the better features on this machine is an electric winch control for the deck height for finite adjustment. I've looked at different Husqvarna sites looking for this feature and I cannot find it available on any of their machines. Does anyone know why this...

Several years ago I experienced a summer of "frequent" fuel filter changes. On the T1530 NH that I cut several fields with I had to change the filter often. The machine would just not maintain power & speed. After the filter change it would immediately be back to spec. I was buying my diesel at...

Just to mention ....... Here we are in the first week of the new year in upstate New York and I still have not had to get the tractor out for snow or shovel the roof. 12 more weeks and we can pull the blower off.

I did the greasing on our IS1500Z Ferris zero turn this morning and now have a question. The front wheel spindles have a 1/4-28 bolt that you are instructed to replace with a zerk ... do the greasing and replace with the bolt again. The position on the spindles is "out of the way" and not in...

Could the forum members provide their opinion on the price I should sell this MTD Yardman tractor model 804 (circa 2000) with the 42" blowers, 46" deck, 46" snow blade & wheel weights .... as a package ?

Got a T1030 New Holland 4wd with 18x8.50 R4s on 8" wheels on the front. Going to upgrade the half worn 4 ply with some industrial 8 plys. I'm being told that tractor tires are easier to change if the rim is left bolted onto the machine. I've never seen them done this way and YouTube has no...

I never really gave it much thought until today but there are advantages to getting a used machine other than the discounted price. Last year I purchased a T1530 New Holland and the original owner(s) spent some extra dollars. The FEL hooks were already welded on .... tires were already loaded...

The heavy weapons are ready for what's coming next. When I changed the oil on the T1530 I found the engine heater I didn't know it had when I bought her. Nice surprise!

I got a 60" tiller along with a tractor I recently bought and A neighbor thought it would be nice to have a melon garden for his grandkids. So off I go a mile away to see if we could create one. We live on hilltop country and the soil is full of stones and I really think it is too early with the...

I recently bought a used NH T1530 tractor and it had a skid loader tire on the front -- one side only. The prior owner had sliced the original R4 tire and bought the skidloader tire and new wheel over the internet. Because the original R4 that was on the machine had 380 hours on it ..... I opted...

When I first stared buying filters for two tractors it was an expensive proposition. Now I've found if you dig a little deeper and do a lot of cross referencing you can acquire filters for less than half of the brand name stuff. There are dozens of different manufacturers and the same filters...

Just got a T1530 with the 250 TL loader that has the Quick Mount feature. To clarify ... it has a quick attach bucket which I guess was an option. What other equipment can go on the loader and was this quick attach feature made so that skid steer attachments could be used? I've been searching...

I brought home a 2012 New Holland 1530 and I've spent the last two hours looking for a source for a brush / grill guard that bolts on. Anyone know a source making / selling them ?

Thinking of buying a local used tractor that's for sale. There is a divorce involved and I suspect a loan as well. I don't know these folks and I'd hate to pay someone $15K for a tractor ..... only to have a bank come looking for it in the future. Is it all a crap shoot when buying used from...

I have a Husqvarna 2354GXLS with the K66 transaxle. At the start of the mowing season the tractor would squeal or whine just when I pushed the reverse pedal ... but the machine still seemed to work OK. Today I noted the machine would barely make it up the shallow slopes I have in the lawn...

I have a Husqvarna 2354GXLS tractor with a Briggs 23 hp Vanguard engine. It has under 200 hours on it and I've not had any engine issues until today. After mowing heavy grass for about two hours I was headed back to the garage and the engine started to stumble and misfire. It will idle OK but...

The temperature gauge has stopped working and I've searched the web trying to find the location of the temperature sensor / sender on the Shibaura S773L engine. Anyone have access to schematics or first hand experience ?

I thought it was unusual for so early in the spring ..... but yesterday I spotted a baby painted turtle walking across the driveway on his 200 yard journey to the ponds. He was smaller than a half dollar. I really thought it was too early. Then today a Mamma Goose shows up with eight chicks.

I kick myself in the butt for spending almost $150 on three spindles a few years ago for one of the Yardman tractor decks ............when all you really need do is replace the two dollar bearings ..... and the bearings used are very common .... the 6204-2RS bearing fits dozens of machines...

I've been doing the seasonal servicing of the wife's model 165 and notice the fuel low indicator light on the dash is now staying on when the tank is fuel. She advised that it "has been that way" for awhile. Is anyone familiar with the sending unit location or actually what sends the trigger...

I was recently told a remedy for problems with the heaters that have the wicks ....... the ones that turn crusty with usage that drops the performance of the unit. The fellow that repairs them and replaces tons of wicks advised our nephew to add one capful of the engine lead additive...

A question for the experienced folks........ I just ordered the super cheap mig welder and helmet from Harbor Freight and noted that there were numerous complaints on the supplied wire. Most stated that Lincoln flux core wire was the stuff to use. Is the Hobart brand flux-core wire of decent...

A couple weeks ago I bought two MTD 190-823 blowers form CL for the MTD tractors I have............. $200. for the pair. Got one installed as shown & it works OK. The second until has some missing parts. Looking for the lift handle, the lift handle bracket (750-1221 & 683-0298) plus the cable...

I finished putting the deck & back onto the Carry All frame today and would like to put sides on it. I spotted the brackets shown in the picture from this forum but can't find them on the net. Probably because I don't know what they are called. I've searched "square tube interlocking bracket"...

I'm seriously thinking about getting one of the 5 ft. snow plows that attaches directly to the 4 ft. loader on my little scut New Holland T1030. The place below has them for $900. plus freight from Pa. That price seems a little high to me. Has anyone else got experience with these plows ? My...

Brought out my trusty orange pail of assorted Mole traps today to combat the critters because a few fresh dirt mounds appeared over night. I have convinced myself that this year will be successful in their termination .... because we have become more patient and finally understand that taking...

I'm still working on the restoration on Dad's Oliver plows and just realized I do not have three necessary parts for the 2nd plow which attachs the handles. Any ideas where I might find repros or original parts? Oliver E1 plow pat. Feb-1898 (#E286) Cross pc is #TY710 and right bracket is WY268.

This time it's an Husqvarna trimmer that runs better with the choke half on ...... but I've noted over the years several other small engines acting the same. What is that a symptom of ? Carb needs adjustment or what ?

Would anyone know who might fabricate a couple plow beams ( item b in the picture ) for some plows I am restoring. ( Tried Farmer Brown's & they are apparently too busy. )

I have property with three ponds clustered together that covers about two acres. The muskrats have really taken over this year and have reproduced into perhaps a couple dozen so far. The damage has now become very notable with the banks undermined all over the place ..... so my reluctance to...

Overnight the three ponds have become one 4 acre job. It makes the spring cleanup just a little harder than usual ...... especially chasing the woodpile where ever it lands. That's ice in the picture on the right ...... the original size of the pond that just "popped up" and floated 100 feet south.

Well ... Just discovered that missing roofing nail in the rear loaded tire of my NH T1030 sub-compact. The juice sure squirts a considerable distance when I pull it out. Anyway .... tomorrow I'll have to figure out how to plug the hole. I'm assuming I'll have to take the wheel off the tractor...

After three storms last week and an accumulation of about 40 inches I can state that a New Holland T1030 scut with a Meteor 51" rear blower is over matched for the wet stuff we've gotten........... and it's snowing again. The first evening I went through the 10 metric shear bolts and soon...

Could you fellas with experience please provide your opinion on the 2440 for brush hog work on five acres ? One for sale with a model 145 loader that has under 3000 hours on it for $7500. Thoughts please.

I purchased a used T1030with 41 hours on it six months ago and yesterday I had a flashback to the conversation with the sales guy. It came to my mind because I rec'd a box of the Purolater Pure One oil filters in the mail ... and I recognixed that the diesel motor uses the same filters as all my...
