I'll have to ask him.

Thanks for the replies guys! Gives me some things to check before I let it sit on the dealers lot.

My FIL was using my tractor moving some hay around and he said it lost throttle (went to idle) and no matter where he put the throttle it had no response. He shut it off and started it back up and everything was fine. He states there where no warning lights on the dash during any of it. I...

I got lucky on eBay a few years ago.

Got my tractor back! The two sealing washers on suction line for the hydro unit were leaking air. Did not have to split the tractor. Just pulled the floorpan off for access. So far I haven't heard the noise. Noise only happens when it's warm ambient outside. Supposed to be about 80 today so...

Update on my tractor. The dealership has been able to duplicate the noise several times. All their testing shows the next step is to split the tractor and check inside. Dealer has a few big jobs a head of me still so 2-3 weeks till it's split and we'll go from there.

Id say 1200-1500 for the lot in my area. Its an old unit with the ACME engine. The ACME engine is not easy to get parts for or find someone that is willing to repair it The problem you have with the 725 is the spline pto, No differential, and no steering brakes. They switched to a 3 jaw pto...

That's great to hear! I'm going to let them know how yours was fixed just as a friendly fyi.

Update on my tractor. It goes to the shop Monday!

I have the same tractor as you and did not use the vacuum trick durring the 50hr service. I did not read up on it either. I lost about 1.5 gallons of oil in the drain pan total after I figured out it's not going to stop untill I put the new filters on. Topped it off with new oil. I bet I'd...

Does yours have a standard 16 pin OBD2 connector under the column shrouds? My MT240 does and a cheap code reader for a car works great for reading/clearing codes. Has a lot of pids in the live data menu too.

Call Brent at Ridgeway. He will know where to get it if it is still an active part. 800-360-0616 Ridgeway tractor parts.com

The information I found was in the actual L3C19-T engine manual not the tractor manual. I can not seem to find the download right now. Always how it goes! 😁 Regardless, yes your oil viscosity is correct for you. So let's just cross that off the list.

The engine manual recommends 10w30. I run the Rotella T5 10w30 in mine. We where having some Regen too frequent problems in a few trucks and found they where running 15w40 when the engines where supposed to have 10w30. Fixed those trucks. I doubt it's your issue but might be worth a shot...

Ok, called the dealer I have been in touch with on this issue and he says that the O-ring on the hydro unit was the culprit. Working out some details and hope to get it in his dealership for the repair soon.

This is true.

Yes, he has. Watched his update rant video and he is pushing religion real hard now. Good for him I suppose but if I want to be preached at I'll go to church. Really enjoyed his welding videos and learned a lot from him in that respect. Nothing stays the same or last forever I suppose.

Ha! Two of those videos are mine! Anyone interested in purchasing the tractor? It's time for it to move on for someone else to enjoy.

You should know by now derails are ok in my book! ;) The Zetor is my main farm power. My daily driver is a 88 f150 my grandpa bought new. My economy tractor was purchased by my other grandpa in 1962. It mows the grass. I've got plenty of family machines to go around. The Bolens just has no...

Sure do! Grandpa bought it new! This one is going no where!

Dittmer. About 2.5-3 hours north of you.

Wow! That's great news. I kept getting the run around from the dealer I was speaking to and just gave up with them.

Do you have a link? I googled "Bolens website board" and just came up with nothing.

Yes, but I don't do Facebook.

Problem is room to store it all and no interest in it from any family members. I've made worse decisions before. It sits in a shed I pass by at least twice a day and forget it's there many times. You are correct it does still do it's job as intended but it is very not user friendly and can...

So after sitting in this shed for 8 years now I convinced my dad to sell this two wheel tractor. I have a picture of my dad at the handle bars of this exact machine in 1964! I rebuilt the engine about 9 years ago when I rebuilt the whole drivetrain, paint, tires and so on. It has a 42" dozer...

See above post.

I did the same thing on my mt240. I took the gaurd off and had a helper hold the bent part on an anvil. Then I beat it flat again with a sledge hammer. I did that because I was quoted over 700 for a new one!

SOLD!

Selling my Mid State Attachments grapple. Has skid steer quick attach. No problems and no leaks. I have pioneer couplers on it now but have flat face skid steer couplers if desired. Wanting a clamshell type grapple as my needs have changed. Located an hour south of St. Louis, MO $1500

The DPF uses a DPF (Delta Pressure Feedback) sensor that uses a reference pressure from atmosphere then take a constant reading of the pre DPF pressure and the post DPF pressure. This sensor determines the soot load and when Regen is needed. That's why depending on your use and care of the...

You are thinking of a DOC or diesel oxidation catalyst which most of the tier 4 tractors have and require no attention from the operator just like a catalytic converter on a gas car. The DPF or diesel particulate filter is the same principle of an air filter. It catches and stores the soot from...

My MT240 has had nothing but off road diesel since it had .3 hours on it. No fuel related issues in the 200 hours I've put on it. Regens about every 50 hours or so.

Did you check all the grounds to see if they are painted over? Whenever I get a car from a body shop that has wonky electrical issues I usually find a chassis ground that has no or poor ground due to paint between the connection. Take off any chassis ground you find check to make sure there is...

A light duty one is the same price of the finish mower you purchased. That will be built more than heavy enough if you can use a finish mower in the same spot.

Sounds like you should have got flail mower. They do tall pasture grass and light brush and leave a nice non bush hog look.

That's great! Glad you have a good dealer so close!

Remotes, yes. Draft control, no. The xr3135/40 has draft control.

Yes, more information is good. guess my post did kinda sound pushy. I wonder where the extra weight comes from? All the extra accessories I think? Yes, the loader on the xr has bigger lift cylinders and a bigger loader sub-frame last I remember. I wish you could still get a XR3140 open...

Problem with the xr3135 is it is the same size as a MT240 with 5 less pto hp. Also seems like the op may not need the remotes. If he does they can be added on. I paid under 600 for the dual remote kit for my MT240. HP is not something you can add on to these real easy if you find you need more.

The hog is 77" at it's widest point. The widest point on the bare tractor is 68" with the R4 tires.

I too have a MT240HE. My 11 year old daughter is a novice operator as yourself and has no problem using it confidently with my direction. It has plenty of power to run a 6ft cutter and handle many other jobs around the farm. My only concern with the MT342 is a bigger frame with basically the...

Yup, I got you the wrong number! SBA145017661 is the correct number and it seems you just need to buy a $100 dollar water pump. Way cheaper than a new tractor for sure.

Part number SBA145017790 https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Water-Pump-Fits-Ford-Fits-New-Holland-TC30-TC33D-TC33DA-/401995926140?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Does that include installation in that price? Also does you have rear remotes for the hydraulic hookup? If not that may be added to the quoted price. If all of that is included it sounds like a good deal!

If you plan to sell it, Kubota. Nothing wrong with the LS at all but in your situation you need to think of resale value. Kubota has that. I own a LS and am very impressed. I prefer the dual pedal hst too!

Didn't I just say that?

Messicks.com is where I would get it. SBA145536120

That's great! Thanks for the follow up and you're welcome!

The brake and clutch master cylinders are all the same. I replaced all three when I had one go bad. Make sure all your bleeders are free too. I did mine through the hood. I took the hood off and the plastic cover off the back of the engine to access them. Lots of room then.
