Anyone have valve stems on their JD mower fail? I was washing the rear wheel on my LT190 when I must have dragged my fingers across the valve stem which pulled the valve stem out of the main section that is attached to the wheel. Unbeknownst to me, my rears are filled with what I later found...

A friend and I are looking at a 1967 Minneapolis-Moline G1000 diesel at a local dealer. I spoke to the previous owner and they seem to have taken great care of it. After driving it, I have a few concerns (besides the fact that it might be hard to find parts for). It's sometimes hard to get into...

Anyone figure out how to save a few bucks on the Cub Cadet/Mitsu hydro filter and cross reference it through another store? The dealer wants $85 for it and unfortunately Napa couldn't find it, even using the Cub part number (MA1031251800). He even looked under Cub tractors and the only one he...

Neighbor and I want to go in on a larger tractor together for working our land and went to look at a MF 285 with loader yesterday. It seemed to be pretty clean. Diesel, gear drive, 5200 hours, never rebuilt, brand new rear tires, Massey quick-tach loader, newer seat, dual rear remotes. A little...

I'm in the market for a new riding mower and came across a nice used TG1860G at the local dealer. 143 hours, but looks like the new diesel it was sitting next to. Couldn't even tell it was used until the guy pointed out the slightly dirty tires. 54" deck with mulching attachment installed and no...

Maybe I'm old school or perhaps I just haven't ridden enough hydro mowers, but am I the only one who would prefer a geared riding mower? JD makes one that I'm aware of, but it's in the low end line. I saw no new Cubs or Kubotas which are geared. Wheel Horse might have a few. I currently have a...

I'm looking to upgrade my lawn mower from a '73 JD110 with 8HP and 39" deck to something a little larger and more powerful. We have about 1+ acres to cut and seems to take forever with the Deere. A friend found a nice used '70's Cub Cadet 1650 hydro for sale near his house. It's 16HP with a 48"...

I know you guys have to pay the bills, but let me be the first to denounce the pop-up ads I saw when I connected today. Ads on the page are understandable, but pop-up ads are not only annoying, but cumbersome. I got one when I hit tractorbynet and then another when I went to the forums section...

Anyone have an idea what a used Woods quick attach pallet fork might go for? Also, what other uses besides lifting and moving pallets and other heavy items have you used or seen them used for? I've seen quite a few posts and pics of guys digging out stumps with them. Do they truly work better...

Is there a setting so that when you first reply to a thread and choose "email notifications', you don't get an email immediately for that first post, just every post after that? Also, can the forum be smarter and know that you are replying to a thread you have already signed up to receive email...

For all you who were helping me with my toplink and Woods BB72 questions last week (the post died with the TBN server hard drive), I just wanted to let you know that I got it set up just right now. The toplink's adjusted much more evenly now (finally got the lock nut loose after some trusty PB...

Just got my Woods BB72 delivered yesterday! About time... I didn't have time to hook it up though, but I did get through the manual. However, nowhere does it say anything about checking the PTO shaft length. I know this is necessary, but how is it done correctly? My RFM was setup from the...

PTO shaft cover problem and Q\'s I was mowing for an hour or so yesterday with the finish mower. After stopping the mower (so I could drive to the next section) and then re-engaging the PTO, the chain which keeps the PTO shaft cover stationary came off the one end of the shaft and was whipping...

I figured we don't have enough "yellow" on this board, so here are a few pics of my Cub Cadet 7360SS... Plowing - G

Anyone seen "macher" (Bill) on TBN lately? I lost track of him over the winter... - Gerald
