Here's an interesting video that could be a time saver.

Why would a well-known and established company like Fenner, which is owned by Michelin, be dishonest in advertising and make claims that it can't substantiate? I am sure they wouldn't want to get into trouble with the Federal Trade Commission. Truth In Advertising In reference to the Steve Bird...

Oh, I'm sure improvements in material and construction have improved over the past 50 years or they couldn't claim that its advanced materials, high performance, and durability, make it a permanent belt option. But, as stated earlier, only time will tell. I just finished mowing five acres and...

Here are the videos I mentioned earlier.

It looks like they could have benefitted from watching a video about the belt too.

Dave, you are correct, there was a post but I withdrew it for a rewrite after finally getting the belt properly adjusted and running the engine for a while. The belt didn't come with any instructions so my first experience with it was a little uneducated and discouraging. However, after watching...

Thanks. I hadn't read all of the thread starting with #1. I saw that I had even commented back in 2007. Where has the time gone? I had to replace the filter on mine a while back because it had rusted and started leaking. While I was under it removing the steering cylinder a couple of weeks ago I...

Here is a picture of one installed. Maybe it will help. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/protector-for-hydraulic-filter-and-cooling-fan-for-gc-1723xx-1725xx-and-older-gc17xx.427221/page-2

After 18 years, the belt on my GC2300 has been adjusted for the last time. I bought a replacement belt (Gates 7340) and had intended to replace it but as you may know, it's not an easy task. Then, I found out about Accu-Link belts. There are quite a few videos on YouTube with tractor owners...

No, but I could have. What changed my mind about the dealer was I found out that the tractors were on consignment, and if they aren't sold within a certain amount of months the dealer has to start paying for them. Wanting to have a good relationship with the dealer in town was important because...

Update: It has been 18 years since I bought my GC2300 and I have gotten over the initial issue and learned a little more about tractors. The tractor I have hasn't failed me once over the years, although I now have to replace the seals in the steering cylinder, I also need to replace the V belt...

As cited in the Texas Constitution Sec. 1-d. Assessment of Lands Designated for Agricultural Use. (a) All land owned by natural persons which is designated for agricultural use in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be assessed for all tax purposes on the consideration of...

While getting fuel at a local Valero Corner Store I noticed a Warning decal posted on the diesel fuel pump that stated "This fuel may damage 2007 and later year model engines." I presume this warning is regarding the decrease or loss in lubricity, and am wondering if fuel distributors will...

Paying For Gas With Plastic Can Have Hidden Cost Debit Cards Can Have 'Holds' Put On Them When you fill up at the pump, paying with plastic could end up costing much more that the high price of gas. Houstonian Doris Cook, who lives on a fixed income, found out the hard way. "Some people like...
