I found that the seat couldn't move back far enough. It always seemed cramped. I ended up adding 1/2" of hight by using nuts for spacers (longer bolts needed) and drilling holes 1" forward.





Not so close now!

I had the dealer do something similar when I purchased the 2538. He added a 2" piece of "U" channel to each side, thus raising the seat by 2". Big help.

I also had him add a "dead man's switch" (hidden) for an ignition interrupter, to (help) prevent unauthorized use.

Both were part of the purchase deal, along with his normal prep of water & antifreeze in the back tires, and free delivery.

I had to modify the seat on my 1533 so that I could move it back further to get more legroom. Now I read in the owners manual
"WARNING: Do not change the seat bracket position but maintain the seat bracket position as is. There is a possibility of serious injury or death due to altering the seat bracket position."

At least my knees won't be sore due to cramped conditions when I die.

Almost to the 50hr mark and preparing for the service. This might be for more tractors than the eMax...

To remove the suction screen, is it best to remove the rear tire?

What about the o-rings? Replace or reuse?

Why won't you let them idle?

The only rattle I found was the FEL release pins. A tie wrap on each quieted them right up!

Yep, seems to be a lot of harmonics at idle. A slight increase in RPM's and every thing is happy!
