What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[DMW]

Maintenance day today. Changed out the glow plugs, motor oil, anti-freeze and both rad hoses. Both hoses had gooves worn in them from the throttle lever and the air filter hosing, down to the cords. 2nd time they have been replaced for this issue.


Couldn't start this winter without using a heat gun on the air intake, glow plugs were shot, inexpensive NGKs picked up on Amazon.


Removed my homemade skid plate and hammered out the dents. It's taken a lot of abuse over the years.

Nice, I am due for coolant flush next. I changed all the other fluids last year including the front axle.

As predicted by other members here, I use the forks attachment on my loader way more than anything else. I’ve had two instances of not enough lifting capacity, though.

Same here-I keep them on all the time now.

How did you cross ref the Massey to ngk numbers for plugs? Mine are ok right now on the gc2400 but being 11 years old I was gonna start looking for aftermarket to have info on hand.

It was an old post from a GC2400 owner. I let someone else do all the work.

Huh. By "customer" you mean a friend you helped out? Where's the retaining wall - I see borders but no wall. Just curious, since I need to do a retaining wall in my back area - also, that's a really casual job to get money for - particularly out where I live.

Paying customer. The wall is the border. It is surface set, not a proper set wall, that is what the customer requested. I removed wall, graded, removed and hauled overburden/sod. Leveled and reset wall, provided fill, fabric and decorative rock for within the wall. Supplied modified stone and placed for the parking area.
