I'm sure you know it has left hand threads, but they can get tight.

Depending on soil type, soil condition and tree size, you might consider a tree puller. You'd need a third function. I've pushed and pulled pines up to about 6" with my L35. Some people also use a stump bucket. I think you'll find it best to leave the tree intact until you have it out.

Back in the day, the blacksmith would heat it in the forge, hammer it back out and quench it. Very little waste of metal.

That's what I did on my home fixtures. I didn't have to change sockets for the tubes I bought. It would be a big job for a whole hospital, but would greatly reduce long-term replacements. If they have 277v lighting, that could be a different story.

If I read your post correctly, the provider was compensated about 1/3 of the 'billing'. Sounds about right, a few months ago I had a chemical stress test. The billing was $7,000. Medicare plus supplement paid about $2,300. A few lesser charges were disallowed. Quite a 'discount'.

Or demand payment up front before treatment in some cases.

Are you considering the lift version or the pull version? I assume that 1800# disk was not 3ph.

I've run a 7' LandPride RCR1884 behind an M7040 and I don't think an MX would lift it comfortably. Besides that 7 footer is so long it gets kind of unwieldy. I've seen an M7060 running a 12' batwing through 4' grass. It was slow going, but who's going to try mowing 4 mph when you can't see the...

I bought a Cle-Line at Lowe's the other day when I saw they were made in the US. I didn't realize at the time they were Cleveland. Are they any good? In the old days we sold Hansons, but now I guess they're Irwin, Chinese.

If you want a loader, don't buy a tractor without it. Used loaders to fit a specific model are scarce. Hiring repairs can get expensive, so you need to be able to take care of most items yourself. What tasks do you need to perform? How large of a tractor do you need?

Ford/New Holland 3930 (ours) John Deere 5103 (neighbors) These are both 2wd, ~50hp, independent PTO, 4+1/2 range or 3+1/3 range gear transmission, hydrostatic steering.

Offhand, I think BX arms on a 100 hp tractor are going to be awfully short. They also have a lot of offset, since the BX mounting points are close together. How far apart are the mounts on the 806? Kubota also has a kit for the L series TLBs, but they're pretty narrow also. Tractor Supply has...

SGOTI says it's a transmission temperature sensor error. Maybe loose/broken wire or bad sensor. The sensor is located on the right side of the transmission.

That model had optional creeper gears. Does yours have the option and, if so, have you tried using it?

I bought a glow timer for my Kubota on eBay once. I knew it was a Chinese clone. When it arrived, it looked better than the original Denso. They had copied it exactly, including embossing 'Made in Japan' in the case.

I got a message from my rent house Ecobee last evening that the temperature exceeded the setpoint. I went to my account (no fee) to see that the temperature had been tracking the setpoint the last few days as expected. So something happened yesterday morning. I suspect a tripped breaker; the...

Most of the above, but the most recent change I've seen is the invasion of black vultures. Until maybe 10 years ago, we always saw turkey buzzards devouring the road kill. The first black ones I saw, I thought were immature turkey buzzards. Now, I rarely see a turkey buzzard, but the black ones...

Before you get too far, make sure you understand the local code and insurance implications. I was thinking about a barndominium arrangement, but the county code would have required the whole thing to meet residential code, increasing the cost a bunch. So I built a 'farm' building which didn't...

My nephew has a basic Ecobee on the heat pump + strip heat on the little house I rent from him. It has worked without problem, using wifi so I can preheat/precool before my arrival. Two years ago, i had a new system put in my primary home. I have gas available here and intended on a two-stage...

I think that's where it's located. The timer connector will have four wires, Black - ground Red - 12v always Red w/white stripe - 12v in acc position Black w/blue stripe - to stop solenoid Have you performed this procedure from the WSM?

There are 2 fuses involved in the shutdown. Have you checked the fuses? There's a WorkShop Manual which includes the schematic at www.KubotaBooks.com.

The surest way I've found to get rid of nut grass is to go out after a good rain and pull it up, making sure to get the roots and 'nuts'. If you have too much for that, I'd use Roundup or equal. You could probably try some Bermuda seed (I think we're talking common variety here) now. But we're...

There's an app (of course) called Strobily available for Android. I'm not sure I'd want to get that close to a rotary cutter drive shaft to use it.

I'd sit tight. So far they've got indications they're still too high. If they don't get more interest in the next couple of weeks, they may come back to you.

That looks like a heavy one. You might not be able to cut a bunch of the biggest saplings it's rated for, but we use a 6' cutter behind a Ford 3930, which is 47 hp I think. You should be good. You'll need a loader or front weights.

I've found 2-4d+triclopyr CrossBow more effective against broad leaf stuff than glyphosate. Surfactant also helps.

I'm not a Kioti guy so I don't know what your set up looks like. But you could use a multiplier to use your existing valve. You'd have a selector switch, and the switch setting would determine which connection your lever controlled. Summit-Hydraulics.com is one vendor.

I would use J B Weld or aluminum solder. Then see if you can find a place or two to place a cross rod or two without interfering with the valve train. If you could get an all-thread or two from side to side, it could take the spread load from tightening the nuts.

Then plant kudzu for good measure.

Sounds like you have the 8x2 transmission? Maybe the vent is plugged. I didn't have that problem when I replaced the switch. But the vent drips, just like the dealer warned Dad it would, 30 years ago.

What does 'messing around with the air pressure' mean?

Yes, that's my thought. As for why more air in the water heater, I'm thinking the line to the water heater may be coming off the top of the main line.

This is a submersible pump, correct? Just a note, there are two different type air volume controls in the referenced article; the first is a diaphragm admittance type used with jet pumps. The other, which you have, is a bleed type first used with piston pumps that had a small air pump which...

Depends on what you have to work with. I once used the forks to loosen up a tough patch, then we cleaned it out with shovels.

I use 40:1 in all my 2-stroke engines. I think 2-stroke oil has improved since the 20-32:1 requirements were set. My Dad's old McCullough called for 30 wt motor oil at 16, maybe 8, to 1. I could be wrong, but I don't think the engine metallurgy has changed that much.

I see Lowes is trying to sell the LS MT122.

Pull the connector off. Then stick a u-shaped solid wire in to short across the contacts. Use a little tape to hold it and keep it from shorting to anything else. This is for just long enough to diagnose and confirm the problem.

When our 3930 started getting intermittent, I jumped the contacts in the connector. After a few starts proved it, I replaced the switch. Easy replacement. Be extra cautious while it's jumpered.

I have the drill and recip saw. They were bought from Damark, remember them?, in the mid-80's for $99 each. They have tiny engines, the drill has hammer but no reverse. Mine has a 5/8? conventional chuck.

Take the sparkplug out and spin it over to clear the gas and oil out.

In my teenage years, my dad bought a used '57 model. With the 3+1x2 gears, 3 pt hitch, and two-stage clutch it beat the heck out of the AC model C it replaced. The wide front and road gear was nice, but the manual steering would give you a workout. It and the 66" Sidewinder brush cutter were...

After some more sleuthing I found that Kubota offered a dealer option L9110 for the L295. Messick's has a parts breakdown, but parts are NLA. You might be able to use standard o-rings, etc. Howe and others also made retrofit kits for these old tractors.

I looked for information on your tractor. None of the parts places shows an L295 with power steering, even as an option. Maybe it was retrofitted from another model? Can you read any info off those tags? I think the hole is just a vent or tell-tale, not supposed to be plugged. I'm guessing the...

I used a few of these then went to the carbide version. I have some diamond files but don't sharpen them.

I agree. Crossbow (or Crossroad) has about the same proportions but twice as strong, probably more cost effective. And definitely add surfactant.

Concrete

Is the PTO or the 3ph the real issue? I see the L3710 came with and without the extendable 3pt arm ends. Our Ford has a version of them, and it's a big improvement over rigid ones. If I did a lot of changing, I'd check out the Pat's quick connects. If it's really the PTO, you're pretty much...

You get what you pay for. I bought a box of GripRite box nails and was having a devil of a time driving them. I started checking them and about 1/2 were pre-bent.

HF has 20% off through Sunday on welders (25% for ITC).

My Kubota L35 has Deestones on the front and Carlisles on the rear, all R4's. The rears were new, I think, when I bought the tractor four years ago. The Carlisles say Made in USA on them. All of them have been trouble free, it stays inside. A few years ago, Carlisle moved their lawn equipment...

Is that not SSQA?

I'd consider running it inside a larger pipe as a casing so, when it needs replacing, you don't have to dig again.

Sorry no picture. Yesterday I was behind a pickup pulling a trailer with an SUV on it. His rear 'tie-down' was a single strap, running side to side, over the trailer hitch. As I passed him, I noticed the front wheels were up against the front bar on the trailer, no restraint. Needless to say...

About 4 years ago, I bought my 2004 L35 in similar condition. It had about 2100 hours on it and everything worked. Since then, I've replaced: seat, almost every hydraulic hose (~30), several cylinder seals, fuel lift pump, fan belt, battery cables and battery. Some of the pins and bushings...

Harbor Freight has a Titanium Stick 225 for $299. It's a 110/220v inverter, so DC. It'll probably give you 100A or so on 110v.

Grade 50 is not much stronger than A36. Land Pride grapples use AR400 or AR450 in the tines, at least.

Is there another relief valve on the pump discharge before this valve? If so, this ones setting doesn't matter. If not, this one should be set to your system pressure. Does the front pump serve just the loader, not the 3ph? If it runs anything besides the loader, I'd expect the valve to have a...

Monkey Ward's still around? I have an MW refrigerator from the '80s. OP, there are replacement coils on Amazon and eBay for $15-20. Most are electronic. I put one on my dad's 5 horse vertical shaft tiller that wouldn't hold time due to a keyway issue. It starts better than new. You'll have to...

Hmmm, I'll be at the farm tomorrow. I'll try to remember to try that. Wouldn't be the first error I've found in the WSM.

If the 3ph arms that came with the tractor have been lost, there's a kit L3961 available with all the parts shown in dark gray below. The L35 is not listed in the description because the parts came standard on the L35, but not the L39, 45 or 47. It's probably $7-800 now.

If you leave the hoses connected, I think the backhoe will also work. But I'm not sure why you'd want to do that.

The other post got long, so here's the lowdown on the diverter valve, item 10 on the diagram. (There's another diverter valve, 15, whose only function would be if you removed the loader, which is permanently mounted, so ???) This is a diagram out of the Op Manual showing how to use the...

Most, if not all, Kubota tractors use what's called an open-center hydraulic system. Large equipment, including Kubota excavators, I think, use a different type system. The reason open-center systems are used is they are simpler and less expensive for small systems. There are some downsides, but...

There's a free pdf available at Kubotabooks.

If the hoses for the backhoe aren't connected when the backhoe is off, the power beyond circuit will be blocked and the pump will be dead-headed against the relief valve. Also, no flow will be available for the 3ph.

The hose must be coupled to the connector as shown. Then the valve must also be switched as shown in the manual. Mine is a wire loop on the back of the tractor, has nothing to do with the FEL valve.

Check the parts diagram before you do that. You don't want any parts to fall in the case or you'll be splitting it for sure.

Definitely an L35. There should be a dipstick in the rear housing, behind the seat, to measure the hydraulic fluid. The fluid in the transmission case supplies everything; steering, transmission, implements. There are two pumps. The one on the right side of the engine supplies the steering and...

Like yours, I'm pretty sure the backhoe has never been off mine, the protective cap is still on it. But I have shifted it and it appears to turn. Below is a diagram of the drive train. There is no brake like on many newer tractors, so it must be broken shaft, gear or bearing. I think you'll have...

When you do file, if you owe more, you pay that plus interest. If you didn't file for an exemption, pile a penalty onto that. If you get a refund, you just get that, the IRS doesn't pay you interest.

This reminds me . . . When I lived in Houston in the '70s and '80s there was a Greek restaurant down on the ship channel that was frequented by the sailors in port. Rustic but great food. They had a wine list that included wines with rosin. One night on a lark I ordered a bottle with rosin. The...

I agree with Loggin. Assuming your ground speed setting is like our old MF50, it is not good for bush hogging, I've never figured out what it would be useful for. You want the independent PTO drive so the blade can be spinning while you are still, or nearly so. I'd stick with the original...

You have my sympathy.

Has anybody tried Zerust? Our maintenance guys used to put them in control panels that were prone to rust.

Two rules 1 Realtors live to sell, whether they're the listing agent or the 'buyer's' agent. If a house doesn't get sold (or bought) nobody gets paid. 2 Nobody looks out for you like you do. Home inspections serve as a second set of eyes, but you should look it over carefully yourself. At least...

Your clime must differ from mine. In north Mississippi when a log lays on the ground a few years, the microorganisms, termites, etc. turn it to mush (technical term). Your logs should be well dried by now. When I lived outside Houston, the common practice was to dig a pit 4' or so deep...

I think the majority of the old transformer MIGs kept the wire hot (my Craftsman does too), but my Yes doesn't, only when you pull the trigger.

Yeswelders still seem to get good reviews. I have the older MIG205 which will do MIG, flux or stick on 110 or 220. It's about $350 or they have a similar 110 only for about $160.

8 pt socket?

We bought an 8 year old house. I noticed the bathroom vent fan would slow down then speed back up. Took the switch plate off, the wires had been looped around the screws but the screws were all the way out. I went through the whole house and about half the switches were like that.

Correction on my post 7. A valve with a float detent should work with one connection.

Are you sure it needs a float function? Most batwings need a single-acting valve. Or you can use a directional valve with float, but you'll need to route the unused valve port back to the tank to avoid dead-heading your pump.

Actually, that's not a bad approach. You could expand on it by elevating the bucket and fabricating a cone bottom with a gate of some type. Close the bottom, use the vacuum to fill it, then shut off the vacuum and open the gate to fill the hopper. You've created a pneumatic conveyor. You may...

I am at least 99 and 44/100ths % with 2manyrocks I was recently co-executor, with one of my 4 sisters, of my father's (surviving spouse) estate. Fortunately, my sisters are more reasonable than OP's and the attorney who had drawn up my parents' wills was available to steer us through. I would...

Well, not really. He better be prepared to defend his actions in court. He is obligated

I think you're right to seek legal advice. (That advice should be funded by the estate, hopefully the other assets have not been distributed.) Your siblings will have to sign off on the sale, and you'll need to be stain-free. Surely you're under no obligation as executor to improve the property...

Kubota calls them WorkShop Manuals. There's a free pdf download available at KubotaBooks.

That top plug, #29, is a breather. It must be plugged. You'll probably have heck getting the blade nuts off. They're shorter than standard and the first time I took them off, they galled. I replaced them with standard (fine) nuts even though they don't fully engage the bolts. Plan on at least...

Travis is at Ignite Attachments.

Welcome from no. Ms.

I thought 60 or 70 was the recommended interval. My understanding is the water pump is recommended at the same time, as it is driven by the timing belt and if it goes the belt and engine go. I'm pretty sure that's an interference engine, so if the belt goes you're out an engine.

If there is only one pipe from the well to the pump, it is a shallow well. A shallow well pump can only lift 30' maximum. The 70' stated on the box is for a deep well, two pipe setup. As stated above, the pump can be stopped by the pressure switch or the thermal over-load switch in the motor...

I took up the carpet and pad off my slab a few years ago and installed the Lowe's with the underlayment included. It still looks good. As others have said, get the thicker, more expensive stuff. And wider pieces. The heavier weight plus the wider planks will lie flatter. Yes, I'd fill the...

That little line connected to the pressure switch should vent off the air between the compressor and the check valve when it turns off, so the compressor starts unloaded next cycle. If you manually turn the compressor off before the pressure switch turns off, it won't get vented and the...

Your 'joists' appear to be the bottom chord of engineered attic style trusses. The plates are offset because a 14' + 16' board gives your 30' span, no problem. It would be nice to see the truss design document, so that the supports, spacing, etc. could be checked. Sometimes, intermediate...

Can you narrow the rear by changing the wheel offset arrangement? Can't tell by the picture, there may not be room.

I got so far as modifying my 40v Ryobi saw for remote control, but never got it mounted. I think the mount needs to be flexible enough that you don't put too much weight on the saw. I installed a small relay and power jack in the saw so applying 12v from an external source makes it run (full...

Do you know how deep the casing goes? Is it open ended with no screen (probably)? It's possible the sand level has built up to the point that it is impeding water from entering the well. You may need to pump/dredge/dig the sand out.

I use a 9" version of that with carbide chain saw teeth to cut sweet gum saplings out if my pines. It does larger vines and other stuff too. Have to take a smaller swath for sure. I tried an 8" one once and it didn't work nearly as well. Have you tried the one that looks like a 3-blade edger blade?

Can't answer your question, but summit hydraulics has a 21 gpm bh valve.

I agree. Make sure the chains can't get to the drive shaft.

You've got some good comments. If you find a reasonable deal on a used BX, you could get your feet wet with it and sell it at little or no loss. Be careful buying attachments, though, since they probably won't scale up to a larger, future tractor. Unless your area is different from mine, any...

Got it. It's not as though they added a steel tension rod or something.

I think so. I personally would have tried to inject some adhesive in the crack and jacked the center before installing the screws, but that's just me. Is the manufacturer sending someone, or do you have to do it?

My auto parts stores take at least 5 gallons at a time and the Kubota dealer took SUDT once - I noticed they had an oil heater in the shop. But they've recently changed ownership and told me they couldn't take my oil - they're trying to find a disposal company. I told them I thought it was...

That sounds strange. If the wood/adhesive bond line doesn't provide shear resistance, you might as well stack the laminations dry, allowing them to slide across each other. You keep repeating 'the beam didn't delaminate' but, while that may be technically correct, one of your pictures shows a...

Usually, I can take my used hydraulic oil and motor oil to the auto parts store. Good thing since I mix them. Coolant disposal is my problem. I think a lot of people mix it with the oil, but that doesn't seem right to me.

The 4T (2-stage) + mini-split I considered would probably have been optimum. I agree with what you wrote. My experience suggests that most new units installed in my area are oversized. I just hope that the efficiency on stage 1 is >= stage 2.

I've been recently going through this, so I'll share my learnings. How are you measuring % humidity? I was going by an old Radio Shack meter and couldn't get below high 50s. I bought a new temp/humidity and figured out the old RS was off 6-7%. The new meter reads close to the meter on a...

What causes a beam to have a preferred top orientation?

All the universal joints I've worked on had needle bearings, not bushings, so should have non-moly.

Can you elaborate? Are some lams pre-tensioned or . . .? I always thought these were just glued and clamped together.

The plow provides the down force. You can adjust the 'angle of attack' by varying the length of the top link. This is very important with a moldboard plow.

A is a relief valve C and D appear to be manual valves. They may be there to manipulate the raising and lowering speed?

There's even an arborist version! The guys hanging the trusses on my shed wore the carpenter version. They could get them on and off pretty easily since it buckles in front. That little front strap in the picture could be a slight hindrance, but you don't have to use it.

Carpenter tool belts have all kinds of attachments available, including suspenders. Maybe you could find something that meets your needs.

I'm not going to argue quality of Ryobi/Home Depot 18v tools, although they've served my need. But the best thing they've done is maintain battery interchangeability. You can use their latest Li battery in all the One+ tools back to the original blue ni-cad stuff. I don't think any other brand...

I think you're doing the right thing, getting the manufacturer involved. Besides the bottom being in tension, there is shear in play with higher shear stress near the ends. Those cracks could impair the beams ability to withstand the shear.

I think they're compounding their hazardous waste in the plastic and rubber before shipping it out. :confused:

I don't know what tractor you have, but I think he was referring to whether you'd be able to lift it with your 3ph. My dad bought a 5-1/2' Sidewinder similar to this in the late '60s to use with our AC model C. It was a heavy beast and took everything we dished out. Later, he bought a MF50 and...

Husky, Kobalt, Craftsman, Quinn (HF) are all mid-range quality in your price range. I'd stay away from the plastic cases; add one tool and there's not a place for it. I do have an old set of Sears tools in a plastic case I keep in my truck that's been convenient and useful. The plastic drawers...

Makita bought the German made Saks Dolmar. I have one of the last blue 50cc professional model. Great saw, but you'll end up with an orphan, Makita is going to or has already stopped making any gas-powered equipment. I like the Echo or Husqvarna pro stuff.

I bought the Ryobi 30deg for my shop project, since I don't have electricity available. It's driven a box+ of 3" nails without problems and has survived a few drops from 8' plus. It'll go all day on a 4ah battery. But doggone it's heavy, and expensive. If I had air available, I think the light...

Probably an electrical problem. But when mine did it the little hairpin clip came off at the governor and let the cable from the solenoid disconnect. That was an easy fix.

I'd agree on the HST. If you get the gear drive, you also get the transmission-driven PTO vs independent. We had a MF50 with the 2-stage clutch, it was stiff for the PTO stage but a vast improvement over the old Allis Chalmers' transmission driven PTO. Your comment about the gorilla clutch makes...

I think Any of those will run a 5' cutter for clipping pasture. Maybe not for clearing heavy brush. None have DPF or DEF emissions eqpt. Check me on this. None of them will handle big bales. You definitely want 4WD. You definitely want independent PTO. This takes you away from the basic L2501, I...

Sounds like blossom end rot. It affects tomatoes also and is caused by a calcium deficiency. You can try a foliar spray. Next time, add calcium to your soil. Gypsum, got any old sheetrock?

You may be pushing it too hard. I have that Ryobi brushless saw and find that, like a gas saw, it cuts best if you don't overload it. Also, keep a sharp chain on it. It seems to overload more when the battery gets below 2 bars.

Sorry, I can't be sure about this. But I think you have the style solenoid with an internal switch. The two pins are for the two coils, but the pull-in coil has a switch in series with it. As the core pulls in, it opens the switch to that coil and the hold coil keeps the core pulled in. The...

I don't know an exact definition, but when I was young, Saturday was the big day in town. Everybody came to town to buy necessities, get a haircut, and socialize. Truck farmers, who were large scale gardeners, would bring their produce and park their canvas shaded pickups on the square to sell...

I'd consult a forester. I see a lot of hardwood, white oak maybe, around west Tennessee going for staves, pallets and, maybe, ties. When we cut timber in north Mississippi, hardwood pulp was higher than pine pulp. I think it's highly location dependent.

Are they both hydrostatic transmission? I wouldn't want brakes and treadle on the same side.

They are definitely one-piece. And the panel groove is rounded, not square.

If I am interpreting your problem correctly, that looks like 2 different trim pieces, coped to fit the corner. The larger is square with one corner rounded over, the other is shoe or quarter round.

I'd strongly recommend 9' or preferably 10' high door. My little Kubota L35 just barely clears 8'.

No, I'm getting a little long in the tooth to be doing serious mechanicing. My nephew has a 2post in his shop. I'm not sure his ceiling height, at least 12'. My BIL has a 30x50 with 10' height that works out ok. I don't know if I'll eventually close the ceiling. Sure would be more comfortable.

Thanks for commenting. But a 2x6 costs almost twice what a 2x4 costs, so it doesn't make up for the savings. Also, the LP siding requires 16" maximum spacing. Good point on the trusses and doors. I'm drawing it up now to make sure I have enough height.

There's a very similar device made by Limbshark (limbshark.com). I saw one at my Kubota dealer. They're both in the 501 area code, one must be an off-shoot of the other.

I'm planning a shop/shed to have a place to store my tractor and junk/stuff and work on it and do general piddling. I'd like to bounce my ideas off you folks. It would be in north Mississippi, so little snow and less than 1' frost and no local code for a non-residential space. I may DIY some of...

In the south, frost penetration is almost nil. The drivers for slab are cost, energy and time. On a flat site an integral footing and slab can be poured at one time. Otherwise, a footing and block stem wall is built, backfilled and slab poured. Heat loss/gain is lessened without using...

The hydraulic shuttle has 2 hydraulic clutches, 1 forward and 1 reverse. When you move the lever, you're controlling a selector valve. The glide shift has one hydraulic clutch and synchronized gears. When you move the lever, you're operating a valve that dumps the clutch pressure, shifting...

That's some tree! A friend's brother has the Tenn champion bald cypress on land their grandfather bought on the Hatchie River.

How big is the tree? Single straight stem or clump?

Lincoln, Miller and Hobart make some nice equipment. I have an old Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC. The Hobart Multi-Handler 200 at $1500 would be a nice rig, but incidentally, is made in China for Hobart. I couldn't justify $2-4,000 for the little bit of welder piddling I do.

Amico gets good reviews for low-end machines. I went lower and bought a Yeswelder MIG205-DS. It'll do MIG/flux/stick/lift tig. Synergic, limited to 0.035 on flux for some reason. Flimsy case but quality wire feeder, handles 2# or 10# spools, good duty cycle. Comes with stick holder, but no...

Discount Hydraulic Hose shows some for a one-wire 1/4" hose.

Shown on Amazon and eBay. Probably not OEM. Edit: used on the L2501 still in production. The new part number is 14311-60605.

The L4630 uses a version of the V2203 engine, but there are other versions, so no guarantee. Here's the part from Messick's, but no price listed.

Your tractor has two hydraulic clutches, one for forward and one for reverse. There are test ports for checking the pressures to those clutches. Continuing to use the tractor with a slipping clutch could damage it worse. Some of these tractors are very sensitive to the fluid used. When were the...

My Bermuda grass has just started greening up. And the hawks are pairing up, I guess.

Before I got to the last paragraph I was thinking, you've got experience with a full-size TLB, you should know if it's too much or too little.

Are you talking about the fuel/water separator or the spin-on filter? We had a 7040 that had developed algae in the system, plugging the screen to the point the pump suction collapsed the screen. We replaced the screen and the filter and added algicide and fuel treatment and it has run like a...

Yeah, we sold a few of them in the late 60s, early 70s. Good way to lose a toe, or worse. Once you wound it up, you had to be right over the engine to press the handle down to release it, putting your feet close to the blade. I think your picture is the later model, the early one had a knob on...
