    Front end loader stutters badly while raising.

    Its from the green forum . So even if starting with zero movement for a minute or so and when I dump the bucket chatters. Maybe I will try and capture it in a video

    Front end loader stutters badly while raising.

    Sorry been MIA but with the bucket after a little use, the dump feature gets the chatter. The grapple with the 3rd function works fine. Curl seems a little weak. I am thinking its time to rebuild those cylinders.. any other thoughts? 3ph arms dont have any issues going up or down. It has a hard...

    Front end loader stutters badly while raising.

    I am not sure which fluid, but will check in the morning. As for the oil screen its below the PTO. If I open it , that will drain a gallon or so of oil with it.

    Front end loader stutters badly while raising.

    So I rechecked all connections and cleaned them up and it seems the chatter returns about an hr or so after the use. Could it be heat related? or do I have a failing pump?

    JD 62D mower deck wheel rod

    So after whacking away and not getting a result, I improvised. Extended both ends with 3ft black gas pipe and wedged it between a V of a tree and with my son the opposite end I was able to straighten it out with a couple of tugs..easy as that :)

    Smoothing out a lawn with many wide and narrow but shallow holes.

    My JD2720 with a full box blade that is 60" can almost stall if not careful. Your GC2410 is smaller engine so 48" should work. You can tie a 6' 2x6 at the back to give you more coverage after done cutting dirt to grade things out.

    JD 62D mower deck wheel rod

    So in classic haste I got the tractor stuck with the deck still on it and as I pulled it out the decks front left wheel arm is now bent. I got it out but the rod is pretty bent and wont adjust. Can i get a replacement or have to straighten it back ? The dealer doesnt have it. :(

    I am sure you all or most of you do it but I got complacent and totally forgot to tighten the nuts/bolts on my tractor last yr.

    My solution for 3PT float on my GC1700

    Need guidance on felling hung up tree

    Remove the smaller trees around it first. Tie a chain on the trunk. Cut off near the stump and let the log slide off. It will still be hung up. Use the chain to drag it away and let it fall to ground. Happy bucking
