Ducks in a row is an expression used by people with knowledge how the world works. I am not walking into a dealership without a good handle on what steps I can take to resolve this- hence - "ducks in a row" :)

Thanks Yander....going to get a video on start up so they can see how bad it is. some friends came over to see it - started it up and the look on their faces - well it wasn't a good showing! my cousin bought three of them brand new and has not had this issue...I just do not want a new machine...

I purchased a zero turn after about a year of looking, comparing and talking to landscapers. well, I pulled the trigger on a 970R with tweels, floatation seat, 60" side discharge. first start up after setting a day or two it will fill my garage with a heavy white oil smelling smoke, has 4.8 hrs...

I have a 70 2520 with 1800 hrs on it.....practically new. I have no other tractor similar to compare the brake operation to so it may be normal......the foot pressure needed for good braking seems very high, also when stopping or slowing a load you really have to use your head and anticipate...

It's been almost a year since I purchased a 620 loader to install on my 2520. I wanted a QUICK attach loader - with a QUICK attach bucket. well I got the "620" loader frames mounted on the tractor last year and was to afraid to lift anything as I felt the frame would break on the tractor with...

O.k. Tx Jim(or anyone else) I installed he power beyond manifold, ran new hoses to the joy stick, hooked the loader back up and for some reason it labors the tractor a lot, it will not idle and when you shut it off it don't "coast" at all. tried it with and without the o/c and c/c plugs. with...

and the joystick I installed - loader I just backed away from. had it on looks good and works well, although I will not lift anything with it until everything is secure.

this is the left an right sides so far

I just installed a 620 loader on my 2520 and have made a few mistakes doing so. first I bought a second SCV (900.00) so I could feed my joystick valve. now, I learn there is a power beyond block(125.00) just for this type of use and works way better than pulling back the SCV lever to run the...

I have a 70 2520 that I want to put a 620 loader on and was wondering if anyone has done this. also, what mods and/or frames should I expect to need. I have loaded tires along with twin weights so ballast should be good.----thanks

If you saw my post of my recently purchased 2520's three point dropping to the floor in a short time, having trouble idling with the three point up at all due to a continuous "load" on the motor due a piece of metal trapped in a hydraulic valve. well I put it on the dyno a while back and I was...

Hey Guy's, my three point will settle from full up to the ground within a couple hrs. with no load on it. I have honed the cyl. and replaced the o-ring on the rockshaft piston and it still settled, removed the return valve and checked the spring/valve and all looks mint. the Tech-manual says...

hey guys, I have a 2520 gas with a new battery, cables, and I disassembled the starter, cleaned it and replaced the brushes. well, it labors pretty hard while cranking it over...it always starts but you would think it would not . not being familiar with these tractors I almost wonder if it is...

O.k. I have an 06 728 that is leaking anti. and I am not sure where it is coming from...dead center just behind the axle center pivot. I will take it apart and find it but figured if someone on here has had this problem I would have a heads up on the problem and possibly save me some...

any one with experience, I have a 1970 2520 I just picked up and the rockshaft drops all the way down within an hour under no load......ideas???---thanks!
