Hi I am at my wits end with my 38" mowing deck. Heck, my wits don't go that far to start with these days! The mower employs a flat faced 3 dog PTO drive. I am running a 735 that has bee upgraded with a 745 PTO end with a slider that will engage both the flat face 3 dog driven implements and...

Greetings gearheads! Well after a zillion years, my ancient L295DT started acting up. The tranny locked up solid when in reverse. And it shifted "funny". Not an amusing funny either. I had dire visions of big trouble. But since this old beast is a nice simple toploader gear machine, I...
