I have heard of leaving the hood open but I am not sure if, in rainy FL this is a good option.Our rain comes in from every direction and often it rains sideways. We also have very industrious and prolific blue birds who will nest any where. I might be swapping one creature feature for another.

I was aware of the change to the materials used to coat electrical wires and why asked if there was something to wrap these 'soylent green' (LOL) based coated wires. I appreciate your suggestion. I'll certainly be looking into Honda rodent tape. The dealer, unsurprisingly, was unwilling to offer...

Quick back story: My BF decided to upgrade Jane Deere, a 2002 990. She was primarily used for putting out hay rolls every week the last few years. Before that, some mowing and bush hogging. She lived outside her entire life with 3 different owners, wasn't in bad shape but at the very least, in...

Thank you for seeing what I "thought" I was seeing. I have used a "spike" to try to get some adjustment. I did get some movement but I really need the appropriate tool. Maybe I'll check Lowes Depot or Ace tomorrow. I will already be on the hunt to try to locate a bolt as well because the JD...

<-------- OP is not a "dude". I've owned my tractor, Jane Deere, since 2011, second owner. I have maintained & mowed multiple pieces of acreage since. Cleared my most recent property (the flat pasture that busted the bolt) using it to mow down 10 years of over grown brush (with OLD rotary...

Thank you to everyone who has replied. - The cutter is new, new, new. Not frozen, not rusted. - The cutter has been used 6 times (went and looked at my victory photos). It did not sit for 8 months before being used. This is not a matter of one years worth of regular use and moderated workload...

The tractor is a John Deere 990 and the Rotary Cutter is a Frontier RC2072. I bought the Cutter brand new in November of 2020. I used the cutter only about 6 times to mow a 2 acre pasture. I live in SW FL so the ground is relatively flat, soft and the pasture is just now starting to develop...

I have a 2004 JD 990. I am the second owner and have had it for about 13 years. I put about 2 hours a month on it mowing a 1 acre pasture and putting out (3) hay rolls every few weeks, it's total hours are 650+/_. About 7 years ago I had a mobile guy come out and replace something regarding the...

I'm a John Deere owner in the Sunshine state. I have been a member and voyeur here for many years and have been able to gleam helpful information every so often when a problem with my tractor arose and I needed some direction. This is a great community and I value all the experience and advice...
