Probate is the Golden Goose for lawyers and I learned that long ago, so I convinced my mother to go with a trust which avoided probate. The lawyers got nothing, but I will say this, be very careful about who you choose as Executor. My mother picked my younger sister and even though she was...

I have an update you are not going to believe. I was able to isolate that the sound is coming from the transaxle. So I hooked up a trailer and drove all the way to a Troy-Bilt warranty service center. The guy comes out to hear the squeak and no matter what I did I could not get it to squeal. I...

They do have a bad reputation for sure. LOL!:ROFLMAO:

There should have been a class action lawsuit over those. I used a magnet to remove the broken pieces, hopefully I got them all.

I wish it were that simple. Mine disintegrated. I used a magnetic probe to remove all the pieces from the bottom of the crankcase.

Yes, Tractor Supply. That's OK they can take as long as it takes because I have two spares. One has a broken compression relief in the engine but I came up with a work around. To start it I manually rotate the engine to just past TDC on the compression stroke where this allows enough momentum to...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I am going to look at it more closely, especially for that loose pulley. Other than that I discovered the thing comes with a 2 year warranty. It's only 6 months old and I've contacted the service center. If it's not a simple fix I can do myself I'll be...

That's a good idea, I'll try that next time I am out there.

Apparently the transaxle on this mower is filled with grease and sealed at the factory. It does not contain oil and has no drain plug or grease fittings. A real bummer. Rather than trying to take it apart I am considering drilling and tapping a hole in the the top of the case, installing a...

I have a Troy-Bilt Pony riding mower that is only six months old and a squealing noise coming from around the area of the trans-axle is getting worse and worse, almost constant. I can't really tell exactly where it's coming from but I'm pretty sure it's not the kind of squeal a belt would make...

OK, I won't be back out there for a week or so and I'll try to remove it when I get there. Thanks

At this point I do not have the money for an expensive gamble without knowing for sure it's the pump that failed. First I would need to find out how to remove it. Then I would need to check whatever drives the pump to see if that is working, is it a lever or a shaft that rotates? Then I would...

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. Throttle and shut off are controlled by a large lever to the right that moves forward or back. All the way forward is off.

It's Manual, a lever at the top of the filter bowl.

Those are the first things I thought of. I removed the tubing going to the pump and fuel flowed freely from the tank through the filter, so I am pretty sure the issue is with the pump or whatever mechanism drives the pump. I also thought about just propping up a scarecrow with hat in the seat...

I have one of those old Mitsubishi MT372 tractors and I went to start it one morning and it would not start. I loosened the fuel line nuts going to the injectors and cranked the engine but not a drop of fuel came out. I am thinking maybe the fuel pump died? Does anyone have any idea how to...

I have noticed a bit of fuel leaking out at one of my fuel injectors. The metal tubes are the supply line and I don't think they are leaking but each injector has a small rubber tube coming out and I think that is what is leaking. I don't know what these tubes are or what they do. There does not...

My gear range shifter quit on me today so it stays in the low range all the time regardless if it's in the Low or Hi position. Is there anyone who has had this problem and might know what it is that is causing this. Thanks, David40

My Mitsu MT372 uses combination hydralic/transmission oil. Someone sugggested using 80# gear oil. Is the combination oil I see in automotive stores the same as 80# gear oil? Are there any recomendations on the best oil to use in this application? Thanks, D40

Is there anyone who can tell me how the hydralics on the MY372 works? The lift quits after the tractor has been running awhile. Maybe it is low on hydralic oil. How do you check the hydralic fluid level and where is the fill hole? Thanks, David40
