I have one. The mounting system principle you came up with for your seat might also work for mounting a tool box when the backhoe seat isn’t needed.

Another vote for Green’s Machine bucket thumb. Very versatile and I leave it on all the time.

Looks like we'll never know what happened. The OP has disappeared after 3 posts.

I adapted a small wheelchair motor to rotate my chute. It's 24V and turns it nice and slow on 12V. It did take some fabricating though.

I recall that Burroughs became Unisys? No?

I had never owned an automatic trans until several years ago when I bought a 7.3L 1996 F250 from a friend. When the E4OD auto started acting up I replaced it with a ZF6 manual transmission. It has been a huge improvement.

Welcome to the group. Just a suggestion, it might help getting responses if you mention the model of your tractor in the title. Also, pictures of broken parts always help.

I have an older Teslong that has since been replaced by the articulated models. It’s well made for the price, has been very useful and I would buy another Teslong.

The Iseki manual for the GC1720 does list a "Governor, all speed." I hope I haven't been coming across as argumentative, it's just that I initially do not accept any info that comes from the internet, and...you guys are, after all, the internet.:) I have noticed that the rpm's will drift down...

The plot thickens again. I talked to the MF dealer in Fallon, NV where I got my GC1720 and their reply was no governor. I tried to find a national Agco/MF technical support contact but they seem to want you to direct technical questions to your dealer. Maybe I need to conduct a poll and...

The dye might be a good idea. I use Lubrication Engineers Power Fluid 7500 which has a reddish color to it that makes it real easy to see in the sight glass. I have a motorcycle with a sight glass and I once overfilled it due to not being able to tell when the sight glass was empty or full...

CalG, Thanks for taking the time to post these diagrams. I also called Vahrenburg (sp?) MF dealer in Missouri and they confirmed that with a GC1720, there is a governor that will maintain the engine RPM within reasonable limit as the generator load changes.

There is a difference between a Diesel engine designed to power a generator and a Diesel in a subcompact tractor. I’m hoping someone can provide an explanation about a governor in a small tractor.

The thread starter here has a 25 or so HP subcompact tractor. I also have one and I'm not convinced there is a governor. The throttle lever controls the fuel feed in the injector pump but I don't see any sort of feedback device. I think any significant load increase is going to drop the...
