After some extensive engineering I have successfully added functionality to my mower when I’m not mowing with it.[emoji12]

Has anyone come up with a bin or tray theyve mounted in the circled area of my picture? I’d like somewhere to toss gloves when I climb back in..

It’s well known there are publications like “Motortrend” and “Road and Track” for cars. Is there a publication like this for tractors with comparisons and reviews?

So I see a lot of you mention that bush hogging with a HST tractor is bad because it builds up heat. This formed a few questions in my mind: 1) How are we measuring the heat? 2) Are we doing controlled tests comparing to gear tractors? 3) If it is a problem, are we finding ways to increase...

Has anyone used one of these or have feedback on them? https://implementsalespublicsite.azurewebsites.net/Equipment/ViewDetails.aspx?Key=1937

Started working on my finish mower today. I decided to paint it as there was corrosion starting especially under the deck. The plan is painting the deck Massey red and the gearbox/ mounting plate Massey gray. I might paint the hitch brackets Massey gray or black I haven’t decided. The pulleys...

I’m considering purchasing a 2800M series tractor with HST/loader/deluxe cab. I’m interested in hearing about the ownership experience especially if you’ve had trouble with it and how and/or if Massey fixed it for you.

I was pretty well sold on a Branson 20 series cab/hst as the local dealer was offering a lifetime power train warranty on them, he us out of stock currently though. I also genuinely like the build/specs/features and especially the price of the Bransons. I also like the no ecu involved nature of...

Avoiding the obvious discussions I’ve found myself in a position to choose between these two tractors. The cost per month would be almost identical due to better financing rates being available on the Deere. I plan on keeping the tractor for 10-20 years minimum. The Branson has a separate...

..are they under rated slightly(can lift more with diminished performance) or is the stated rating truly all it will do? Have you guys lifted more than it’s stated capacity? I’m looking at a 4052R cab with a 440R loader and just kind of curious if this tractor/loader will do the required chores.

I’m looking at buying a Branson 20 series which I will use for occasional loader work and other tractory chores but mostly for pulling a finish mower(in the comfort of a cab) there are some rear tire size options and these are the two I’m considering: 420/70x24 or 16.9x24 The tires seem to be...

Well the old John Deere sold. The wife and I are dead set on a HST tractor with a cab. We also intend on lifting pecan super sacks that weigh 2000-2500 lbs occasionally and will mainly use the tractor for mowing and tree line maintenance. Is there any reason this tractor won’t do what I want...

Has anyone used these before? Looking at the 6 or 7ft model. https://darrellharp.com/1_68_power-line-finishing-mowers.html

I have a 48C mower deck and I’m wondering what it fits so I can go shopping for a project on Craigslist.

I have a radiator starting to let go on my 1120. I found this radiator on eBay and was wondering if anyone here had tried this or something similar?

I have a reasonably smooth 10 acre pecan orchard I mow once every couple weeks or so. I’m thinking of replacing my old John Deere 1120/6 ft finish mower with either a 72” zero turn or a hst tractor with 6ft finish mower and loader. The main role would be mowing but I do have lots of...

I have two questions as my manual doesn’t explain/answer them -Where is the correct location(s) for the water temp gauge sender? - I read that on 1020s they moved them from the head to the block. Does this apply to the 1120 as well?

I have a 75 JD1120 with aftermarket powersteering. The cylinder says “Anadolu” I’m trying to save some time before I take this thing apart so I know what parts to buy and/or have an idea what I expect to find. In the picture below I have circled a fitting that is leaking. I’m unsure if...

I’m looking at some tractors in my area (Dothan,AL) and I’m trying to narrow down/eliminate some brands or more importantly dealers. I’m hoping you all might be able to share some experiences you’ve had with dealers in my area. I’m especially worried about future parts availability and...

I have a 1975 1120 and the injector pump is leaking. The local diesel shop said it is a “CAV” type unit and would rebuild it for $400-up depending what was wrong. He said buying new was stupid expensive but I’ve found some new pumps that claim to fit for $600 or so but I’m unsure of their...

My 1120’s throttle won’t hold its setting/position so I believe the friction disks are worn. I don’t see any procedures for adjustment in the manual and new friction disks are $68. A PIECE! Anyone have any other fixes or ideas I should/could try?

I’m looking into purchasing this tractor with a 6ft finish mower. I’m trying to decide a fair offer and if I should pass on this tractor or not. What I know about the tractor: The hours are unknown but it runs AWESOME. The hour meter was replaced The tires have good tread One of the tie rods is...
