Frustrating situation. And I agree, it seems to starve only under heavy load - which makes impossible to check the fuel lines when it happens because the mule usually is loaded. I suspect some of these mules are just lazy...

It is a nice and clean Mule with about 330 hrs. Few years ago started to die during work, gas symptoms. I'd give it 20 minutes to cool down and it would run again for a few weeks, before randomly dying again. Checked fuel line going to carb: sometimes fuel pump would work, others not...

Could you explain what you tried to say? Let me start by saying i never lifted/jacked my tractor. From your comment it seems more serious and more involved than jacking a Mule or a car. What would be a good way to do it? And what would be a terrible way of doing it? And for checking the...

Would this be something to be "checked only" or replaced when doing the seal? I've done both approaches with my machinery (trying preventive maintenance x only when it breaks) and I had misfortunes both ways. I learned that sometimes touching something that is working for the sake of preventive...

That looks massive indeed! And yes, I can see it lasting a long time.. But every coin has two sides... I suspect it is a PIA repairing when needed...

Just to confirm, you think this could be leaking, correct: And would a leak from this area run down to the center of the tractor and fall on the ground? I am trying to confirm this could be happening here.

To be honest I didn't look up from the bottom... I can see this could be a leak from the input shaft as well... I need to check and see what I can see..

Interesting. I am pretty sure the dealer was talking about the axle seal. He even said he would need to remove the wheels to replace the seal.

I brought in the tractor to install the grapple and I asked the dealer to diagnosis a small leak in the rear end of the tractor. They diagnosed it as "rear seal leak" and $800 plus fluid cost to repair it. I am trying to confirm and better understand what exactly is the "rear seal" - is this...

Thanks for the feedback!

That is a steep price difference... But i think the BB1560 is better constructed all around... Any luck yet?

I've been definitely looking for one in the used market.. But no good matches, yet. And since I can't wait forever, I decided to go check the dealer. I would love to find a Woods BB at about 500 lbs and quick hitch. And for less than $1,000. That's a lot to ask, but I am still looking...

Interesting. I wonder if my dealer is trying to simply force leftover stock and is telling me the BB1260 is the perfect match for my tractor. I tried pricing the BB1560 but they wouldn't give me a quote. Do you remember how much you paid for yours?

Thanks for the feedback, greatly appreciated. Would you go for a heavier landpride box blade OR just another brand entirely?

I would like to hear your experience with the BB1260: is it a good fit for your tractor? Any feedback on whether you would buy the same or a heavier series? I am in need of a box blade for light residential work and not sure if this box blade is too light or just right size. Thanks for any...
