GC2300 Questions

[Steve_S]

Greetings all,

Been a while since I posted on here, good to be back. So I sold my Kubota a while back and ended up buying a MF GC2300 just because I found a deal too good to pass up and I have been very pleased with purchase to date. I run a lot of implements on it as you'll see in my profile. I'm now in need of some maintenance tips. First...The guy that I bought it from replaced the OEM loader remote with a stubby thing, which in my opinion makes it much harder to control. I now have a leak in the loader control valve that I am currently investigating and hoping it's just a seal. Like many of us, I use the machine for far more than what it's intended for.

So my questions (for now, heh):

1 - Where would I get a replacement remote lever for the loader?
2 - Has anyone replaced the turf tires with R4 tires and have you seen significant damage to your lawn while mowing with them?
3 - Where are you purchasing your filters (Hydraulic, Oil, and fuel) for your GC series tractor?

I have the newer model, a gc1710 that I bought with R4's.

I love the R4's for traction but for mowing and tooling around the yard they can make a mess when conditions are wet. In dry conditions they are fine on grass.

Agco/Massey Ferguson parts are hard to replace sight unseen as I have yet to find a nice cross reference data sheet. Ive seen people use other oils, like the rotella T family if oil, but usually the Agco standard filters as again, there's no good cross references out there.

As for the remote, you could always find a direct replacement to what you have since you know it fits.
