2 of the bolts that clamps through the flange and secures to the gear box came lose and bolts on opposite side broke the flange and when that happened the part was no longer clamped. I guess if unable to find this part I might be able to get it repaired by some good welder.

It’s a 6’ model and dates back to the 70’s. It was my dads and I’ve had it for the last 30 years. It’s a very heavy duty rotary cutter.

The part I need is the one shown in this photo. The part is bolted to the bottom of the gear box and has the long shaft that has the connection to the pan that the cutting blades are attached to.

Have an old Bush Hog Model 12 rotary cutter that I’m looking for a part I’m unable to find. The gear box is ok but attached to the gear box is a part that supports the shaft and bearing that extends from the gear box and is the mounting bracket that holds the 2 cutter blades. I’ve been searching...

That’s what I’ve been doing when I park the tractor now, but occasionally when using the tractor I need to get off to do something and that is when I would like to use the foot brakes to keep it from moving.

Happy New Year everyone. My John Deere 5320 parking pau is no longer working and I was thinking about older tractors and how we used to always use the foot brakes to secure tractors when we parked them. I’m thinking if there would be a way to do that with my JD 5320. The brakes work fine on the...

My JD 5320 is gradually get worse when you put it into Park. Not an issue if you’re on mostly flat ground, but if on a slope and you put it in park most times it will start to roll. When it starts to roll a clicking sound can be heard. If I have to park on a slope I always use the front end...

Agree, I told neighbor should spray belts every other mowing.

I sprayed the belts with a belt lube spray and that seems to take care of the problem. Now when engaging the PTO it is a smooth transition. The belt does not jump around. The belts used are not OEM belts. Using the belt lube will probably extend the life of the belts as well.

Carl thanks for your reply. I agree with everything you say. I did a complete tear down of the deck and cleaned and lubed all the moving parts. Replaced the bearings in the double pulley spring tensioner. Removed each belt pulley and polished were the belt rides, on my old engine lathe. This...

I have a Cub Cadet 2518 that I’ve been working on for a neighbor. Think I have issue with mower deck or PTO or both. At times when engaging the PTO to start mowing it will have a belt come off and before you realize you have a problem the belt is destroyed. I’ve noticed when engaging the PTO...

Thanks for all the reply’s and suggestions as where to look. Well this morning I started by checking the safety switch under the tractor. As soon as I crawled under the tractor I saw my problem. Evidently while I was bush hogging I ran over a wood branch about 2” in diameter and somehow the end...

I have a 2005 JD 5320 with power reverser and after 3 hours of bush hog work I put tractor in park and shut off engine to unhook the bus hog mower. When I got back on the tractor to move it to the barn it would not start. No sounds at all when trying to start it. Everything electronically seams...

Thanks for your response to my issues. I did some more research and with me doing away with the wiring harness I figured I had a wiring issue that I had not addressed. Thinking it had to be a fuel issue and the new carburetor I installed having a solenoid I checked to see if it was getting 12V...

Have a Cub Cadet 2518 tractor mower with Kohler CH20 engine. Was having issues with the wiring harness so decided to do away with existing harness and wire the engine from ignition switch to everything I was needing to be able to get tractor running so I can mow my lawn. First problem I have is...

Sounds like you might be having problem with braking pedal mechanism. I’m assuming you have a rod connection between the brake pedal and the brakes. May want to check the shaft brake pedal rotates on. Mine mower has grease fittings to keep the pedal lubricated.

What I got was a Kohler 25hp (CH740-3117) that is direct hook up like my current engine. The re-power engines that were shown in the previous replies also included wiring harness and drive shaft connection. The Kohler engine I got will use current harness and adapters from my old engine. Price...

I really appreciate all the responses to my issue of steep hill mowing. I’ve went ahead and purchased the new 25hp Kohler engine. I like what I’m able to do with my current mower even if it’s 25 years old. Getting a different mower would be a new learning experience on how to use it, and thought...

The rear brakes was the only way I could mow going across the hill. When mowing you always have your foot on the upper side brake to force the wheel on the lower side do all the forward motion of the mower. The wheel on lower side doing all the pulling and the upper wheel doing the braking...

Yes, that’s exactly what I need, but being 80+ years old I don’t think I will go that route. That is a very nice mower. Being a zero turn and do what It does when mowing is impressive.

I currently have a 1997 Cub Cadet 2284 hydrostatic transmission shaft drive 22 hp tractor mower that has independent right and left rear wheel brakes. This mower does a fantastic job of mowing a very steep hilly terrain going across the hill. The slope in some cases is greater than 45 degrees...

I know, but could not find way to delete.

Let me start by saying if I had a fair level yard to mow this Predator 22 HP twin cylinder engine would be a great re-power engine for my tractor mower. In my case I have what most would say is a very steep area that I mow. Therefore I have two major problems with the Predator engine on my 2284...

This problem was driving me crazy as to why it was happening. After reading your suggestion I thought that could very well be my issue. I always check oil level before I mow. I’m thinking the oil sensor unit is some place close to the flywheel side of the engine and going downhill the oil level...

Great idea. I’ll do that.

Thanks for that information. I will look at that tomorrow.

I have a problem with a 22hp re-powered Predator engine that I have installed in my Cub Cadet 2284 tractor. Engine has ran flawless the last 2 years. Now it has problem that every time I mow going down hill it will stop running. I have an 12V electric fuel pump that I use to get gas flow to the...

Problem found and my fault. The bulb that got damaged and two of the prongs were broken off. I checked the fuse for the bulb and fuse looked good, but when talking with JD Tech he said there was a second fuse I did not know about and that fuse was bad. Replaced that fuse and problem solved...

Finally got around to doing some more checking. I checked the rotating light switch and found no 12v power going into the switch at all. I checked with ignition switch on and still no power. After more searching I found right headlight bulb was some how damaged and 2 of the 3 electrical prongs...

Just recently all the lights stop working on my John Deere 5320 tractor. The only sign of any lights is on the instrument cluster and think that is because as soon as you start the tractor those lights are on. It seams strange that I would lose every light on the tractor. I checked some of the...

I sent to AG There is a place called AG Express Electronics that have locations in Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana. I sent mine to Indianapolis, Indiana. I was told that only thing they could do was replace the run hour meter on my instrument cluster. The fuel gauge was not repairable and would need...

I have a John Deere 5320 and the fuel gage and the run hour gage quit working. I sent the instrument cluster to a repair shop and the only thing they could repair was to replace the run hour meter with a new one. The sticker shock to replace the instrument cluster was more than I wanted to pay...

Hello mechanics. I have a JD 5320 with power reverser and while balling hay I ran into issue where I put tractor in P (park) and it got stuck. The only way I could get it out of park was to take the loader bucket and place on ground with force and rock the tractor back and forth and it would...

Okay guys hope someone can help me with this problem. The fuel gauge on my JD 5320 tractor quit registering fuel usage. Tractor has the 63hp Diesel engine. I replaced the fuel sending unit which did not help. When you turn the key and start the tractor the fuel gauge will go to full and it stays...

I plan on replacing the other one as well. One other question. The attached photo shows the damaged poppet and the threaded plug. The other piece was in a groove just behind the threaded portion in the DSCV. Once the poppet was removed I found what looks like 1/2 of a seal or guide for the...

Hello everyone. I have an issue that I hope someone can help me with on my John Deere 5320. The DSCV (dual selective control valve) that my bucket loader operates from has quit working for the bucket in/out operation. I have switched the up and down hoses with the bucket in/out hoses and the...
