    Engine misfires

    May be a spot of water down by the main jet. Rev it up and jam the choke on a time or two. That can suck the water through

    Hydraulic FEL sickle mower

    We have a Samurai Sabre. Similar, low gpm. You dont want it running fast as it can push flexible branches ahead of it. Nice that the one you show will tilt. If you have an HST that will travel ok at low rpm that would be best. Speed and steering finesse is good. Easy to damage the bar with a...

    Does any one strain their diesel?

    Nah. Mine quit straining when I turned the fuel up a bit

    2008 TC40DA loosing power

    I had the same type of problem on mine when I bought it. I found plastic shavings and "crap" in the fuel line fitting at the filter AND at least one debris in the tank intermittently blocking the nipple output. I lucked out and got the piece out of the tank by grafting in a 1/4 turn petcock at...

    How much ballast for a 40hp machine (TC40DA)

    If you have a bushog put it on semi permanent. Theres 600#+ and leverage. Add some weight on top of deck when you need it. Weight on the 3ph has no effect on lift capacity of the loader -- just gives stability and eases loading on front end components.

    Tire Tread and Gear Ratios

    You may want to take a look at Carlisle Versa Turfs, mix or match to get desired front lead. Im having trouble seeing rolling circumference specs on a wide selection of tires. You almost are stuck at buy em and try em.

    Drum Mower with 25hp Tractor

    Only you can be sure of this by the indications you get. But I would favor feathering the PTO clutch starting at the 1300 RPM free speed, letting the engine lug down and the mower spin up for about a second, and then just getting off the clutch. It would probably nearly stall as the engine fully...

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    McCarr #1190K35. -- I have two. Fairly low volume per stroke. Trouble free. If you have an extremely strong grip you can bend the handle on a plugged nipple.

    Frozen Throughout bearing on Kubota L2250DT

    :sick: Sad situation. That is like flood damage. Good pics of the t/o. I was able to make a tool to regrease the t/o in our L3450 through that breather port. It was dry and you could hear it spin. Glad you are able to move the tractor. -- Not that it will rejuvenate it, but notice that you...

    Frozen Throughout bearing on Kubota L2250DT

    All good, but full descriptive info, several posts back, indicates that the bearing wont slide as needed to operate the pressure plate. The clutch pedal cannot be depressed. The lever in pic 6560 will not move. The clutch plate may be stuck to the flywheel some too, but our actuation inputs are...

    Frozen Throughout bearing on Kubota L2250DT

    Your pushing on the pedal would have been good to know upfront, and that it wouldnt move. You mentioned back a ways that it grinds when you try to put in gear, so you have been able to start it. My 2550 requires the clutch pushed all the way in to be able to crank it. -- Good that you can crank...

    Frozen Throughout bearing on Kubota L2250DT

    Yes, Thanks for the follow through. I think youre right. The t/o bearing will not slide on its pilot stub. I wonder how hard it is stuck. Do you have a PTO generator or something you could run to make the tractor warm up? Sometimes a thermal cycle can do wonders, especially when something isnt...
