Hey there, Anyone notice a sort of gritty or groaning when they turn their steering wheel? Its actually a new occurrence and I've heard/felt it the last few times I used my GC1720. If I pick up the front axle with the loader bucket, I don't feel it. It feels like I've overloaded the bucket...

Will a Kubota BX set of wheels work? I'd like to find some wheels and put different rubber on them. Massey SCUTs are rare around me. There are a lot of Kubota dealers and parts. Just curious of a set of take-offs would fit my GC1720

I would like to sell my still crated, 60" mower deck attachment. It is unused and has the drive shaft. I'm asking $1000 for it. I may be willing to drive up to 100 miles from my location for a small fee but will not be able to unload it without help. I thought about parting it out but...

I have been watching some videos on my tractor and noticed that some CB65s have a larger rubber boot on the control sticks than I do. Mine is a 2018 model. Over my year of ownership, I've been finding little things here and there that bother me about it. For instance, it obviously sat in...

Ok, this is something that ought to be really simple and straightforward. The shop manual says that all I need to do is remove the center cap with a screwdriver, remove the nut securing the wheel to the splined shaft, pull up on the wheel to remove it. Yeah. That's not working. No matter...

When I operate my tractor, say, brush hogging, I lower my loader arms and tilt the bucket back to stop in order to help direct the vegetation to lay over travel under my tractor. Also, while mowing my lawn, I tilt the bucket back to stop and keep it lower and out of sight much the same way...

Here is my prototype solution to having to hold the implement position lever down in order to float along the ground. As you probably know, this capability is omitted from a lot of subcompact tractors resulting in the operator having to either hold the lever down or drop the 3Pt lift arms in a...

Hi, Recently, I've been getting around to using my tractor more and more and have had a few questions and experience I wished to share so I've been rather active, today. My tractor is still fairly new with just over 50 hours on it. Sometimes it feels like the 4WD selector lever binds a...

Hi there, -I'm sure this had been beaten to death many many times but I want to vent. I have a 2018 Massey Ferguson GC1720. If I had paid closer attention before purchasing it to the way that the linkages need to carefully fold away when not in use and how the hydraulic hoses need to be run...

Hi everyone, I have an overgrown acre and half that I need to put drainage in and grade. Yesterday, I started to clear some of that land with a walk-behind string trimmer. After that, I decided to use my box blade to scrape and pull some topsoil to a low spot that I think is letting water...

I have a 2018 Massey Ferguson GC1720 subcompact tractor ready for the 50 hour maintenance. I would like to run a full synthetic for my machine wherever I can. I am going to put full synthetic Rotella T6 15w-40 in the engine, and use a Mobil 1 filter, there. The manual calls for Permatran...

Hi Everyone. I had the dealer toss in the repair manual when I purchased my 2018 GC1720. I always like to have whatever technical resources I can AVAILABLE for my equipment. I also have all of the manuals that came with the tractor when new (Owner's, CB65, DL95, 2326 Mower Deck). I prefer...

I've seen mentioned somewhere on here of a website where a small company (maybe one man) will custom make lift arms for 3pt systems. They are square tubular, from what I remember and look nice and stout. A decent upgrade. I can't, for the life of me, recall what the website was for those...

Hello. I picked up a Hardee 52LT Rotary Cutter, today. Originally, the ad said it was a small 4ft cutter and only showed one photo. The seller wasn't too keen on all the specifics but I took a gamble and drove an hour and a half one way to go see it. It's a little big. I think it's going to...

Hey everyone. I'm trying to think of something useful and easy to do with a hho tank that was given to me. It's still very good and solid. I don't really want to make a smoker. I thought about cutting it in half and making it a blasting cabinet and using the other for a parts washer. But it's...

I posted this in the MF forum, already. I think posting it here in a more general sub would get more eyes on my issue. I have 20 hours on my tractor. I got it at the end of last year and parked it in my garage over winter. I used it to mow my lawn a few times. I took it out on the first really...

20 Hours on this tractor. All while mowing a completely flat grassy lot. I got my tractor at the end of September last year and only used it a handful of times before the weather turned. I took it out of my garage yesterday to wash the dust off of it and noticed that both front tires seem...

Hi there, Would anyone be able to help me identify this brush hog? Its a 48 inch. The PTO shaft is missing and the age is unknown. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know what the diameter of the hole and thread pitch is of the fuel cap on a MF GC1700 series? Is it a standard that I could easily look up? Thanks!!

Hi there. I noticed that my GC1720 did not have a cap on the crossover tube on the loader arms. I see this cap on a good many others around the internet. I'm sure it serves a purpose so I decided to make my own. I also made one with a Massey Ferguson logo in it but haven't put it on yet...

Hey everyone, I would like to get a second set of wheels and tires. I have the R4-and while they've been great so far for everthing I've needed, I think a set of turf tires for mowing the grass would be safer for my lawn. I have some soft soil areas around my property and until I properly...

Hey there, I'm quite new and recently posted a thread about my new tractor. I'm tossing this one up with the hope of getting some insight on what I should do about an issue I'm having. I just took ownership of this tractor about 10 days ago. Only ran it around the yard, idled it a little...

Hello everyone, I took ownership of a 2018 GC1720 about two weeks ago-it had 2 hours on it. The weather has been wet here in Ohio, so I haven't had any time to really enjoy my tractor and test it out. I only have about 6 hours on it and that's mostly stationary idling or learning the backhoe...
