My tranny is getting up to 225F during mowing with a belly mower. Outside is only 75Fish. What are some things that would cause a hydrostatic transmission get that hot?

Other than maybe having to shorten the PTO shaft, and the safety concern of the implement drifting to a stop are there any other negatives to using an overrun coupler? Would be on a JD2305 sub-compact. I'd like to put as little stress on my tractor tranny as possible, and the rotary cutter I...

Never used a rotary cutter before.. Bought a used rc2048 for my JD2305. Got it all cleaned and lubed up and gave it a short test (didn't cut anything). Didn't sound too bad starting up or running, but when I turned it off there was quite a 'thump'. As it says in the manual, I lowered the...

Just got a used RC 2048 for my JD 2305. Never used one before so just checking that my thinking is right... I have the 'rockshaft lever' and 'rockshaft rate of drop control lever'. Am I wrong in saying there is really no way to limit the rear arms from dropping their full extent? In other...

I have a JD 2305 and am looking at getting a RC2048 rotary cutter.. I looked at the manual for the cutter and it said the imatch is required to 'facilitate driveline length'.. I have no other rear implements... so hate to pay $400 for an imatch. Anyone have luck with any of the spin-offs? Thanks!

It's about 80F outside and just got done mowing 7 acres.. The transmission felt hot so I hit it with the IR thermometer (had been off for 5 mins or less by the time I found the gun) and got a max temp of 205F. Is that within 'normal' range for that amount of work, or running too hot?

Anyone have a lead on where to get an air filter clip? There are two of them that hold the cover on the air filter canister. JD says I have to buy the whole canister...

Hi all. I'm coming up on my 200hr maintenance and now that I have a little more understanding of the tractor I have a question. When I did the 50hr maintenance the local JD shop talked me into low viscosity hy guard.. but now I see in the manual (OMLVU23228_B0) that it says they put the...

I love my 2305, but my biggest gripe so far about it is the piece of angle iron that rests on the left rear arm of the 3pt hitch that is used to lift the mmm. Seems like it's always slipping off (I know, improper adjustment).. My question is, is there a reason/purpose this is a piece of angle...

My 2010 2305 is ready for it's 50hr service which I plan to do myself. I noticed on another thread that the oil filter can be a pain and a snap-on channel lock type wrench works great. Are there any other recommendations for making the 50hr service easier? I think while it's in warranty I'm...

Looking at getting a tiller to work about a 1000 sqft garden with my 2305.. is the 647 overkill? Any other recommendations? Oh, and anyone know what a 647 costs?

Hello, We just bought a 10 acre lot, about 5 acres is tall grass and we plan to let the deer & rabbits have that. So that leaves us a maximum of 5 to cut (there's a small pond, the house, a few barns, road). Assuming we are going to cut this 5 acres, what would be the best type to do the job...
