Seeking Expert Advice, I could really use some insight from forumites. I apologize for the long post, but a detailed initial post will short cut questions and allow you to visualize my situation. I am a tractor owner with 12 hilly acres in Northern Kentucky. I use my tractor to smooth my...

I just performed a Cub Cadet Zero Force SZ Hydro-Gear transmission fluid change. This was no fun! I found a great 26 minute detailed "how to" video on YouTube - - and tackled the job on my 540 hour mower. Never been done before, although I've done regular engine oil and filter changes. In a...

Hi All, My second problem (besides the choke cable sticking in another post) is the 25 HP Kohler engine in my (mother-in-law's) 2004 Craftsman GT5000 intermittently, but frequently during mowing, cuts out, then resurges back to operating RPM. It does this intermittently in all modes of...

Fellow Safety-Minded Forumites, I'm about to start my second ever bush hogging adventure and do my hills again (those cursed hedge apple saplings are shooting up again), and in the interim I've been scouting this forum and researching wheel spacers (will order some today) for cautions. One...

All, I'm new to the forum - been enjoying reading for several months, then bought a new tractor with FEL and a 6' bush hog a few weeks ago and joined the forum. My first tractor! I am lucky to have experienced tractor owning neighbors, but there is nothing like this forum to search for advice...
