My fuel line ziptied to the left bottom framerail by MF was cut after I thought I fully attached my MMM PTO... well, it came off and ended up cutting it. Good thing that heavy armor wire wrap was put on to protect it (j/k). As exposed as thr fuel lines are under the mower, you would think...

I have a 25HP GC1725M MF tractor with a MMM. Im having issues getting the MMM driveshaft back together after it separated while removing the MMM to do some dirt work. The male end attached to the MMM is fully splined, while the female slip side is splined and keyed. Can any of you confirm it is...
