Well, it wasn't easy, but I was able to attach the PTO shaft to the tractor without sliding back the guard. When I next get to the dealer, I'll ask them for a demonstration of how these guards are supposed to disconnect. There's nothing in the owners manual about it. Thanks to all who made...

Because that large cover makes access more difficult.

No, with the positions spread out so widely around the guard, I don't see how I could push on all 3 simultaneously.

I can't move/slide back the PTO guard on my new Woods BB60.30 rotary cutter. There are three positions on the guard, 120 degrees offset from each other that all say "press". One of the three positions has a white nylon round button-like protrusion. The other two positions just have flat...

Thank you @Halftrack ! So, it looks like adding new oil at a rate less than about 2 quarts/minute is the recommendation. I'll go even slower than that.

Excerpts/photos attached from the Shibaura engine manual. So, it looks like the issue may be for other Shibaura engines, not specifically the N843 that my TC33DA has? Thanks to @dieselscout80 for sharing his experience with pouring in a quart over about 1 minute. This is the type of...

I would like to change the engine oil in my TC33DA with a Shibaura N843 3 cylinder diesel engine. I've read that when adding the new oil, it should be added slowly to avoid engine damage. Apparently if added to quickly, the oil can find its way into the intake manifold. So, this makes me a...

Yes, I would like to check higher up. It's difficult to access that area however. Looks like the easiest way might be to remove one of the rear tires and reach in from the side? Besides any fittings or other "fluid holding" items, are there housing bolts on the top side, similar to the ones I...

I've never see it actively "drip" and the hydraulic fluid reservoir dipstick shows full. It's more of a seepage. I suspect that it might only be seeping during operation, and that it doesn't actively seep when the tractor is off/parked.

I'm not familiar with how banjo bolt connectors work - just read about them however. Pretty neat. Could I try tightening that, or is there a torque limit or risk of damage that I would need to be cautious about?

I noticed some seepage on the underside of my TC33DA. Photo attached. The top left bolt shown in the photo was slightly loose, and I tightened it by about 1/8 of a turn. The other bolts (at least the ones that I can see and get to) are all tight. Tightening this bolt reduced, but did not...

On the underside of my TC33DA, there's what looks like a cotter pin sticking out. Photo attached. What is it's purpose?

I'm considering this UTV (or, depending on your opinion, glorified golf cart). For $13,999, it looks pretty decent however. https://www.kandiamerica.com/product/cowboy-e10k/ Apparently these are sold through Lowes stores. This particular model is not shown on the Lowes website however. My...

Interesting, thank you.

Land Pride RCR 1860 rotary cutter. Why is there a small hex socket INSIDE the larger hex socket on the gear box oil drain plug?
