I have a Cub 1042i which is running great but some how the two exhaust bolts can completely out. I have search the net for what size these bolts are and come up empty. It's a Kohler Courage 18 SV540S-0020. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello folks, I’ve been away from this forum for quite some time. I restored a z-145 1965 135. One of the details damaged was the ID tag. I had several of these reproduced because no else had any. They turned out great. If anyone is interested in one of these. Message me. Attached is a picture...

Hey all. I just bought a near new i1042 zero turn which has the infamous timed blades it cuts smooth as glass but the reputation of breaking belts worries me. I almost bought one that the guy swapped the timed deck for a MTD 42" standard deck. Anyone here heard of this done?

Hello Terry. Just remember the PTO is rated a 10hp which simply means it will not cut down anything bigger than a 1/2. It will do great on saw briars and tall grass and young sapplings. Keep those rear wheels greased to avoid them seizing up and making turns difficult. I've totally restored my...

Does your exhaust manifold have a heat shield on it. The heat shield uses the same studs and mounts on the exhaust/intake manifold. It's a real b!tch to take off and put back on. So when a leak in the manifold occurs, it seems many throw the shield away. I bought one at a tractor salvage years...

The Perkins both gas and diesel open on opposite sides (hood) if the plugs are behind the side logo you have have to partially remove the sheet metal in one piece and tilt it forward to access the plugs. Never done a Perkins gas. But if the plugs are mounted higher than the Continental then that...

The way I see it you will need a stepladder setup on the exhaust side. Open your hood and feel for the rubber boot. Pull it off and use a socket to loosen and install new plugs. That's the way I would do it. OR you could remove the side plate bolts and loosen the two front securing bolts...

I found that my right brake pedalis slightly bent where the locking pin won't mate up. My question is. It it made of cast. Can it be heated to be bent back into shape?

How about these.

Got tired of Verizon's ever escalating prices and looked for a feasible alternative. I decided to go with Straighttalk. Fortunately my area is only good for Verizon towers. So the transistion was somewhat painless porting over into a ST phone. Just keep in mind you neeed to exercise patience...

I saw a Ford 1600 that looked to be in decent shape for sale on Craigslist near me. They where asking $3100 for it. The ad stated it was a diesel. Can anyone tell me what to look for when I go check it out? Here's the link with pictures. -kid 1600 FORD DIECEL TRACTOR

Todays electronics are so much more than when I was a kid. Everything now is electronic. Let's take the speedometer, tachometer, gas gauge, volts, etc. In modern tractors these little critters may exist behind that pretty instrument cluster facing. So what is a stepper motor? In a since, it's a...

I couldn't resist getting the Terrapro's out totday. Temp here in Tenessee around 60 to 62 degrees with a cloudless day. Ohh it will change. It's Tennessee. Here's a few pics I took of them. -kid

We recently survived a ice storm that passed thru our area. We where right on the border from moderate to extreme ice. Certain areas of our county lost power due to tree damage falling on the power lines. Here are a few pictures. This is nothing like the storm of February of 1994 which pretty...

Ealier this week I drove to west Tennessee and bought a somewhat unique ATV. A 1988 YMP350U Yamaha Terrapro with a finish mower. I'm going to restore it back to it's grandure. The FM48 mower is in sad shape and will need a total going over. The ATV is amazing in good shape. It needs carburator...

Many of you have the Continental Z134 or Z145 gas engines. One of the headaches working on these classic is replacing exhaust manifold gaskets. The problem you run into is the heat shield that wraps around the exhaust manifold. Sometimes they are thrown away of the headache of puting them back...

Sometimes things happen. My 135 obviously at one time had been worked on my previous owners. The fan cooling shrowd was abit off center. I have been refurbishing mine for the past four months. I kept hearing a dinging noise comming from around a radiator and first thought I had a headlight...

Has anyone heard how he is doing?

I'm thinking of how far computers have evolved in such a short period of time. I still have my old IMB XT with 10 megabytes of hard drive space and a wopping 256 kilobytes of ram. My son a I ran a single line SciFi themed Bulletin Board where users would call in and play games download files...

I was on agcopartsbook.com and tried to print a page and it looked like it was but never went to the printer. I'm assuming they have disabled that feature. Anyone else tried to print anything from there? Normally if you print, you get the parts list and the illustration. -kid

Anyone here using this tractor with a belly mower?

Just thought I!d let those that didn't know they released the new version that fixed orientation among other things.

With that been said. I had four parts listed in the AGCO partsbook that could not be ordered.. There are other divisions of AGCO other than Massey Ferguson. If they don't sell Massey Ferguson, more than likely they don't sell parts for them. That's what I was told by a non Massey Ferguson AGCO...

Ken, I've driven up to Hopkinsville KY to B&G which is a AGCO MF retailer. They can order any part that still available that's listed in the AGCOPARTSBOOK. If you google your state for Agco MF dealers I believe there are a couple more where one of them may be within driving distance. B&G is 60...

Has anyone seen light like these and know where to buy them?

I do know getting rid of the grubs and worms will make them eventually leave. But what about ridding them now before they do too much damage to the lawn. Any ideas?

Is there a setting to extend the loggin time. I can be entering a rather lengthy response and have to log back in. Is this a forum problem or IE9 problem? I usually have to copy everything I've entered, loggin and repost. It's not always been that way. Anyone?

I'm not happy with the cheap TSC MF Grey paint I used and going to redo the body with Flint Grey Metallic. Anyone here had any experience or tips to add on shooting this paint. I'm going to use a reducer at 4:1 ration and add some hardener to give it a bit more durability and sheen. Any thoughts?

It appears if a person you have in your ignore list is leading in a thread the app won't allow access to that thread. It is happening with my iPad. If the ignored person is inside the thread it does what it suppose to do. Ignore. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone needing parts for a MF 135 Perkins gas model might be in luck. There's seller on eBay that's parting out a Perkins. Might be worth a look see. I've lucked up on several nice original pieces there. :thumbsup: -robert

I sharpen the blades at least once a season. Not the easiest to remove, but not the hardest. I was having to run over my yard twice just to knock down some strays. So I decided it was time to resharpen the blades. What I found was the sheetmetal that creates a circular swirl to each blade was...

I just bought a sweet 135 and the tach isn't working. First the obvious. No cable. Then I kept looking for where it hooked up and discovered on this site where it went. There appears to be a tach plate that mounts to the rear of the generator. My gen doesn't that plate. It's been converted to...
