Second bout of Covid, + Long Covid & suspected side effects of the last vaccine really wreaked havoc on my 72 yo body. A much younger more knowledgeable “health nut” co worker gave me lots of good advice on natural preventative & remedies. Can’t pinpoint what actually helped as I was trying...

Sorry for the hijack but just ordered an RD990X to mow our <10 acre pasture. SWMBO desires the pasture to resemble our yard after cutting & the rotary cutter is not meeting her expectations. I’m sure it won’t produce the quality of cut that an actual finish mower gives but I do need a rough cut...

Update on my no start problem; flyerdan was spot on. While my battery load tested good, holding voltage at 12.7, I had always intended to replace it to replace with an Optima red top to avoid the corrosive fumes being drawn into the radiator. While removing the clamps I noticed the bolt that...

Add to my previous post / problem I did also find two fuses 1-30 amp, 1-40 which manual states the 40 amp is ECU fuse mounted top back side of air filter along side two relays (guessing relays are for glow plugs or intake heat). Both fuses check good. Also while checking my 71 yo “not what they...

Boomer 55 hydrostatic with 156 hours (cab & fel) Wife used tractor to pull out stuck zero turn, parked it. 30 minutes later it made a single click noise when I attempted to start it, then nothing. No power to dash, or relay box & fuse box near steering column. I didn’t check other in cab fuse...

Many thanks! Don’t see the “control box” but looking at the up / down arrows imprinted on the rubber bellows it appears to have the type of control I need. Will give them a call for sure!

Purchased 11 months back, as stated the air seat leaks down in about two minutes & ride then becomes unbearable. Apparently during assembly hose barb fitting was over tightened cracking the plastic housing of the control switch. Dealer has supposedly been trying to find a new switch but claims...

As title states, I’d like to add Dynamat style insulation on floor and hopefully in roof of my LS built Boomer 55. There are 4 nuts on on upper roof that appear to secure it to the cab structure; could roof removal be that simple?

Thanks alwaysworking, went to local NH store & owner suggested same steering wheel trick but couldn’t say for sure if they still extended. Back home I turned my silver center a bit, then pulled it off steering wheel, underneath was the large nut holding wheel on; guess telescopic column is a...

Traded my 2012 Kubota L4740 & as you might expect some operator adjusting needed. Major points are the two pedal vs treadle hydrostatic pedal, and seat to steering wheel placement. Feel I can adapt to the two pedal but after about 4 hours with boxblade yesterday I think I prefer the treadle...

No! Car actually WAS owned by (not so old) grandma who did occasionally race the car. The grandson was showing/selling the car for her.

Not tractor related but around 1971ish friend went to nearby city to look at 1968 Chevy SS396 that was advertised in newspaper as owned by “my grandma who only drove it to church on Sundays”. Friend did purchase the car, it was pristine, & title WAS in grandma’s name! After a little questioning...

Cabbed L4740 having a power loss problem that is driving me crazy. Feel it is fuel system related, & so far I have drained & vacuumed tank, replaced fuel pump, air bleeder screw, MANY fuel filters, fuel filter assembly, all hoses. Cracking injector lines produces same miss each cylinder. Now...

Never had a tractor with loaded tires, flat land, soft ground that is wet much of the time are big factors for me. Do agree the M is a better choice for most, just not for me.

Looking like I’ll be trading my L4740 for an MX6000 so adding couple points to an old post. Primary use (80%?) is rotary cutting approx 15 acres with some box blade & plowing. *M6060 is in the neighborhood of 1100 lbs heavier than MX6000. This was a big factor in my decision to eliminate the...
