I do not know your machine very well but from the pictures it looks like this is the system: 1, you have the diesel engine which is behind the operators seat. 2, there is a hydraulic pump which is connected to the engine by a shaft and also likely behind the operators seat. 3, there are...

I would suggest cleaning and possibly rebuilding the carburetor. Today's ethanol blends in the fuel tend to corrode carburetors, especially if they sit for long periods of time. There are a number of fuel stabilizers on the market that can help reduce this effect when added to the fuel. Hope...

You might want to post some pictures of the spindles and someone here may be able to help identify them.

I believe 2012 machine might be a tier 4 interim engine which meant it may just have the PCV tube going back into the intake. It wasn't till 2014 and after that diesels above 25hp had to be tier 4 compliant. Don't quote me on that though.. Purely from memory.

A concrete pad is always nice for sure. It helps if the rest of the tractor can be level as well, not absolutely necessary but it does help. You mentioned some irregularities in the floor in your first post. You could likely get away with just having 3 smaller pads. I support the frame of the...

Yeah, I hear ya!.. Sorry I don't know your machine well enough to offer assistance in adjusting the pto. Though if you can get your hands on a shop service/manual I'm sure the info would be in there. Maybe someone else can chime in here. Failing that you may have to take it back.

Maybe a little more info on your situation is needed. When you say frame, does that mean with a roof? I would certainly think if you can do that it would be preferred. I just unhitch it onto 3 log ends that have been cut to about 10 inches high and there it sits in the corner of the shop.

It would help if you added the manufacturer and model of your mower. And a picture of where those cables go to. Not all of us know this particular model but if you give us some context and more detail of the type of brakes we can likely come up with some suggestions. Just trying to help.

When you say "PTO" do you mean engaging the mower blades? Pretty sure the blades are hydraulically driven buy hydraulic motors. I would say that there may be some sort of damage to the motor as Hay Dude has mentioned.

Have you tried calling the shop that did the work and ask them that question? A shop/service manual is a good piece of literature to have and well worth the money.

I believe using ground speed pto operation it is hard to get the balance right between forward speed and pto rotation. Much easier to get the balance right if you can vary the engine rpm and change gears when the grass/brush become thicker or more dense. Just my 2 cents.

I would think there are a few things to consider here. To begin with, how big is the brush cutter? The higher the ratio, the less power you have to cut the brush. I would think the 1:2.83 is likely too high, that is almost twice the speed of the original. It will be interesting to see what...

It's hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the drawbar frame is removable and that would allow the arms come closer together. A bit of a pain but a would that work..??

Not sure how those would work. I think it might be easier to extend the stabilizer links so that the arms come closer together as long as there are no clearance issues on the tractor. Something like this maybe...

Not sure what you mean? Have you got a picture of this "three point diaphragm pump"??
