When I change the fuel filter on my 2305, the engine starts fine and runs fine for 10-15 seconds and then stalls out. Then it takes 6-8 attempts with lots of cranking, rough running, and stalling to get it to run after that. Then it runs fine. Any hints about avoiding that?

I just found out on this forum about the horror stories when these joints fail. I baby my tractor, but I never knew these zerks even existed, even though I read the manual from cover to cover. Now I find out that they should be lubed every 50 hours. I have over 1100 hours on this machine. I...

Just changed the Hydraulic fluid and filter 16 hours ago. The hydrostatic transmission works normally and the 3 point hitch works fine. Power steering is fine. The mid-mount mower deck is raised and lowered with the lever on the right side. It worked normally a few days ago, but now the lever...

I just took the deck off the JD 2305 to clean it and sharpen the blades and got to thinking about the push button on the gear box. :confused: Thinking does not work as well as it used to, so I have this basic question. How does that thing work? When I got this tractor - my first - about a...

When we moved into our new house, the builder left a small gap around the Bilco door entrance. I didn't even notice it until I saw that we had some mice in our poured concrete basement. I sealed it up and used spring traps and glue traps and got rid of them. Later, we caught a mouse in the...

Is it possible to attach caster wheels or gage wheels to a JD landscape rake? Can you get them from Tractor supply? I used that rake a lot last summer, and it did a great job, but wheels seem like they would help, and I have a lot more work for the rake this spring and summer. PS - I did a...

We have lived with city sewage for years, but now we have a new house with a new septic tank and leach field. Mostly, it is my wife and myself, but occasionally we may have as many as 15 guests staying for a few days. The soil here tends to clay, so it might not pass a perc test, but our...

I'm doing the first transmission oil and filter change on a John Deere 2305 and I've never done a tractor before. Inside the cylindrical transmission suction screen, there are 4 bar magnets - each about 3/16 x 3/16 x 3 inches. When I took the magnets out, they were all clumped together instead...

Right now I don't have a tool box on my JD 2305, and I wonder where I could put one. I carry a couple hand tools in the cylinder for the manual on the ROPS. In addition, sometimes I want a spade, a rake or a mattock. How do you carry long-handled tools? I'd like to see your solutions to this.

I have a JD 2305 with hydraulic lift for the deck. I was told at the dealership that the deck wheels should not contact the ground in normal mowing. My question has to do with adjustments so that the deck wheels will contact the garage floor at the same time when lowered. Right now, they...

I'm going to do the first transmission oil and filter change on my JD 2305. The manual says to clean the screen with a mild solvent and set aside to dry. I was thinking of using alcohol, because it would completely evaporate. Any advice on the solvent? EDIT - Found my answer here -...

I hauled the deck out from under my JD 2305 and scraped and hosed off every bit of clippings and dirt. I even put some car wax underneath. Today I mowed again for the first time after that job and I was looking forward to keeping it clean with the hose inlet port. Ran it at operating blade...

I hope to get a JD 2305 soon, so I have been looking at Cat 1 attachments. My first need is for a landscaping rake, and I looked at Tractor Supply. They told me that they used to handle King Kutter, but now they have their own label on the King Kutter manufactured implements. The prices there...
