GC 2600

[Jaylegger]

My glow plugs are activated when you turn the key between on and start, I was wondering if there was supposed to be a light.
The pto always makes the sound like I said it’s not very loud bu it’s definitely audible.

When I engage pto without implement attached I hear no noise for either mid or rear. Check the output shafts for something rubbing. Perhaps the end of a wire tie catching on the splines or something similar.

Thanks jaylegger. Does your pto make kind of a clicking sound or is it silent?

I know the question wasn't directed at me. The clicking sound from the PTO w/o an attachment is completely normal on the GC2300. Driveline is pretty well identical to the GC2600.

Hey Dan,

If you desire a glow plug indicator light, like most of us, it's a real easy and cheap addition to our GC tractors.

The link to a real good thread started by ray66v, "GC Owners Upgrades And Modifications" and in ray's post #1 is this tip and how to.

Since you indicated that you only had this tractor for about a week, you may not be aware but the storage area for the "Operator Instruction Book" is in a pocket on the back of the tractor seat...

Mine always made a clicking sound when engaged and nothing attached.

I recently had a light come on that had no explanation provided in the owner's manual and the dealer had to call the factory to determine what it was. This light was located to the right hand side of the oil and battery lights and consisted of an icon of the crankcase with an arrow pointing to the right. It did not illuminate when the key was turned on before starting. I was told it was a plugged air filter warning and it did go out after I serviced the filter. This is on a 2010 GC2610TLB at about 1000 hours and I had been working it in very dusty conditions.

It痴 me again! Is there a fuel filter on this puppy

 

[Peter 315]

YES......

 

[MF RED in MT]

Yes, here are 2 pages from my GC2400/GC2410/GC2600/GC2610 Shop Manual that should be helpful. The fuel filter is almost underneath your left foot when sitting on the tractor.

It seems I have a new learning curve with the new insert format...

Thanks MF RED. I was looking under the hood and was wondering why I couldn稚 see it. Once again you致e been very helpful and it痴 much appreciated.
Tomorrow morning I知 delivering my 1540 to it痴 new home . I really am enjoying the smaller tractor, most people go bigger but I realized I didn稚 need a tractor that size to cut grass and do chores.
The hydrostatic is a nice change also.

It worried me too, I took it to the dealer and they said it was normal. Been using it for my post hole digger and 60 inch snowblower-soon to have a 4 foot tiller.

Hi KC.
What痴 the torque spec for the rear wheels? I went with 90 ft lbs.
Thanks again

 

[MF RED in MT]

Here's your information, you were very close, it's 70 ft. lbs.

And here is the 2 pages of the MF manual regarding torquing information:

Thank you once again!
If you’re ever in Canada anywhere near Montreal or Ottawa let me know, I owe you at the least a steak dinner ��.
Danny.

 

[MF RED in MT]

Hey Dan,

Thank you for the offer of a steak dinner, but it's not necessary, as I am glad to help.

Only time we every spend in Canada is once a year to visit the Prince of Wales Hotel for a lunch which is just north of Glacier National Park, and that's a 2 day trip for our driving style.
