I appreciate everyones comments. I had ideas of purchasing a new trailer but I think I have decided to strip the old wood off this one and use the earth contact wood and new tires and wheels if necessary. If I want sides I can make some and mount to the stake pockets. Someone I work with said...

Hello everyone, I have an old 4x8 flat trailer that I used to haul my riding mower around. Sold my truck and have used it to pull behind my tractor for grass limbs and such. It is getting really ragged. I have looked at other trailers including dump bed trailers for ATVs and am wondering if...

Thank you! That as exactly what need!

I would but the dealer I purchased them from back when has closed. I don’t remember the brand the wheels are, something aftermarket, and any paperwork or receipt is long gone.

I have a 6 foot Farm King finish mower that came with inflatable tires and wheels and I replaced them with solid ones years ago. I need to replace them again. Recommendations on source or particular brand? Thank you!

I really like my Leatherman knives but lost a very expensive one a while back…so I found Kershaw Select Fire, it has a built in screwdriver and 4 bits. Not very expensive so if I lose it I am not out much…not that I want to. The only complaint is it holding an edge. That may be me.

I have a 2516 and love using my 6 foot Farmking finish mower. It will bog down in high grass. Sharp blades help. I definitely needed and have front suitcase weights. The weights come off then I attach the loader, which is only a mild inconvenience…no bracket interference.

I agree about the blade bolts. Installing fresh blade bolts never hurts and getting one a quarter inch shorter helped me with a similar problem.

Two things come to mind: I was mowing with a finsh mower and my old 8n. I like mowing so I was having a good time, as this was a volunteer project, just me the tractor/mower and a nice early morning, helping out. I was doing just fine when I discovered that one of the 3 blades had come off, I...

I still have my 2516 Gear, and to date have not had any major problems. I wanted to see if anyone else that has this model, or similar 2816, 2216. Has anyone had anything to deal with I should keep an eye on? I have kept an eye on all fluids and changed engine oil regularly. I have low hours on...

I know the problems with storing gas and the problems that causes, but have not heard much about storing diesel. With fuel prices they are it is tempting to have a little more on hand. What are some good rules to follow with diesel. Thanks!

Living in a suburban area, I wanted to see if anyone has installed or had experience with adding a kill switch to disable their tractor. I will be parking my 2516 outside and wondered if I needed to go the extra step of disabling it.

I think I will be making the right decision, but would like to make sure. When putting on my snow chains, and to get them good and snug, I have to connect them past the first cross chain....so obviously too long. So I just need to cut the excess making sure they are on properly before I make and...

Just a quick note...my battery jumped out of the hold downs...Note to self to check the hold down as part of maintenence. ..but could not find the size anywhere..it is a group 58. Looks like it's readily available.

My 2516 is getting booted out of the semi heated garage, in favor of my wife's car...it's okay as long as I make sure I store it properly in the weather. So I am asking for tips. I want to cover it, but will a tarp be enough? I will be adding diesel additive to prevent gelling, but any other...
