Found the problem. I took out my handy jumper wire and started to check all the safety switches. It was the neutral switch. I checked the connection yesterday, but I jumped it today. It started right up. I have it jumped for now until I get a new one.

I checked the neutral safety switch connection and rechecked the bypassed seat switch. A ran a wire from positive to the battery terminal E to start it. It started and I moved it out of the mud and into my garage.

My tractor is sitting in some mud right now. If I take a wire and connect it from the battery to the wire on the starter, wouldn’t that bybass all the safety switches and start the tractor. That way I can at least get it on pavement to check the switches.

I was doing a lot of work with my tractor and I **** it off to go eat. When I came back it will not start. I hear the relay clicking, but it will not turn over. I have the seat switch bypassed so it isn’t that. It happens 3 days ago too. I let it sit for a while then I washed it. After that it...

I had a carport put up to store my tractor. I actually had room to put other stuff in there too.

I have been making extra principal payments every month. I’ll have mine payed off by the end of 22. Two and a half years early.

I bought a total of three UHMW Sheet 3/4" x 4" x48" By Peachtree Woodworking - PW1125 from Amazon. The FEL width is about 2 in longer than the UHMV so there is an inch gap on each side. I bought 1/2 carriage bolts and bored out each hole enough to make the bolt flush with the UHMV. For the rear...

I dare it to snow in central Virginia this year. I finished adding UHMV strips to my FEL and Rear Blade. I removed the cutting edge on the rear blade so I wouldn’t have to drill any holes in it. I didn’t realize how heavy it was. So I’m already for the snow to fall.

I had to buy a new m10x1.25x20mm bolt and cut 10mm off of it. I couldn’t find m10x1.25x10 unless I order it through LS and who know how long it would take to come in. I checked the other drain bolt and it was loose, but didn’t work it’s way out. Ended up adding more fluid.

I made a snow blade for my FEL. Bought some UHMV poly from Amazon. They were supposed to be 48in long but it was 47 and 3/4. They were 3/4in thick. I bolted it down by using a Forstner bit and a 1/2 drill bit. I also beveled the edge. I’m making one for my grader blade too. All this means is...

So I was working in by backyard leveling some dirt and I started to smell smell something nasty. With 20 years of experience as a Army mechanic, that smell was very familiar. I drove the tractor on to my concrete slab and and immediately looked at my front axle. My right tire was soaked with...

Just tested them in the darkness. First with just front headlights, then with LED bar. Did the same for the rear. Front may need a little adjustment. .

I don’t want to do any work at night either. I will use this winter to plow snow day or night.

I added LED lighting to my ROP bar. Since my MT125 is only a year old, I didn’t want to do any drilling or wire splicing. I am currently using the 12v power plug(cigarette lighter) as my power source. I added a switch in a project box mounted to my Caution sign bracket. I used u-bolts and a one...

If anyone buys the 5 Ft blade from Tractor supply, I would suggest also buying a new top link that is slightly longer than the one that comes with the tractor. There is literally no tool for adjustments.

I bought a NiLight LED set and started the install. I really don’t want to run a wire all the way to the battery. I believe the MT125 has an option of a work light. So that means there should be a 12 Volt wire somewhere in the back. Does any one know where it is located? I’m trying to do this...

I installed the County Line 5ft grader blade today. I was a little concerned that the blade would not lift high enough, but it raises 15in from the ground. Played around the yard a little to see how well it handles. Messes a lot of yard up, but I will have fun fixing it. What is there out there...

I went and purchased a 5 Ft County Line Grader Blade. It’s been one year since I bought my MT125 and I thought the blade will be a good birthday gift. I have to figure out how to put together the 3 point Hitch tomorrow. The parts have been sitting in a box for a year. I will use it to plow snow...

Loaded my MT 125 on a trailer and headed out to my son’s house. I removed two stumps, moved a railroad tie, dug a hole and buried a cement block, moved dirt and filled in some holes, dug up and moved some brush and small trees, and leveled an area for a shed. I didn’t even use a quarter tank of...

The show at night come from the lights or the AR? I’m getting ready to install some lights too.

I got about 220 hours on it when it decided to stick in that position.

I filled my tank and noticed that the fuel gauge is stuck in the almost 3/4 tank position. Anyone else experience this and if so, how did you fix it?

Someone else told me to use a rear grader blade. I don’t have one, but I am looking to purchase one. Tractor supply has a 5 ft blade that could work, but they recommend the 4 ft one. I would rather use a 5 ft one. Any recommendations. It’s for my MT125

I would like to know too?

Is there a non metal attachment that I can mount to my FEL for snow removal. I don’t get that much snow, so I can’t justify a snow blower. I don’t want to mark up my concrete slab and asphalt driveway with the metal bucket blade. It would mount to my MT125 FEL.

I purchased something very similar or even the same for my FEL. I found it on eBay. In EBay search Buyrightauto. That is the eBay store name.

I ordered these off of EBay. Look for the following Plated Builder's Parts Ball Joint Female M8 x 1.25 RH M8 x 1.25 RH StudM-DMCS-8 Plated Builder's Parts Ball Joint Female M8 x 1.25 RH M6 x 1.00 RH StudM-DMCS-8 I don’t remember which size it was though.

I did my long awaited 50 hour service on my MT125. I decided to go ahead and replace the hydraulic fluid instead of just filters. Glad I did. I found a lot of small medal shavings stuck to the magnetic drain bolt. A lot of people had a hard time removing the filters and drain plugs, but It was...

If you ever come across your MT125 engine will not turn over and you know your battery is good. Check your wiring at your starter. There is a wire that attaches to the starter that is not held on by a bolt or nut. It just slips on. I ran over some small tree limbs and one of them must have...

I had a few pines that the the roots go straight down. I always cut the stump below ground level then fill it in.

I took the rubber boot off the valve and tightened the two nuts. I’m not sure if it’s the same problem. On my post about the FEL valve fix I posted two links to YouTube where I have a video posted of the problem

I had a similar problem. Mine was free travel. Ended up being a few loose nuts on the valve. Look for a post LS MT125 FEL valve fix. I’m not sure if it is the same issue, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

Do you have the service manual or parts manual?

CNH is a very difficult site to navigate. Couldn’t find anything there.

It took about 12 hours for mine to be available.

You got lucky. My dealer said no.

I found a site where you can purchase a service manual for LS tractors. I purchased one for my MT125. It cost $49 for the download. Google Durattach and the site will come up. No parts manual though.

I still didn’t do my service yet. I got my filters and I’m going to pick up some oil. I want to change out my hydraulic fluid since my 50 hours were hard on my hydraulics with constant use of the FEL and BH. I don’t think my original question was answered though. Should I remove the FEL and BH...

I have to laugh because I got stuck twice already but was too embarrassed to post pictures. Since I have a front end loader and a backhoe I was able to use them to lift my front and rear wheels out of the mud and then I used 4x6s and placed them under the wheels. I lowered the wheels on to the...

So I found this bolt laying on my floor board. Had no idea where it came from. The other day I noticed that my seat was kind of flimsy. Upon further inspection I noticed a bolt missing on the hinge that allows the seat to flip up. This is for the MT125 that has the backhoe. It’s a different...

I used my MT125 to retrieve my utility trailer from my swampy back yard. I knew my truck would get stuck in the mud so I used a tow strap and wrapped it around the bucket and the front of the trailer. I slowly lifted the bucket and pulled the trailer out. I hope this area of Virginia will dry...

Had 10 tons of gravel delivered to fill in my 24x 28 boxed in area. I will eventually Have a carport put up to store my MT 125 Mini Beast and my old Dodge.

5 more hours before my 50 hour service. I will replace the two hydraulic filters and oil filters. Along with looking for more loose nuts and bolts. Should I remove the BH and FEL to do the service or can I leave them attached? Also is there anything else I should be looking for that you...

I had my MT125 for a month and a half now. Although I still like my tractor, but I can’t help to list some issues. For those who have or will receive your tractor soon, Go over it with a fine tooth comb. I found a second pin missing on my front end loader. This one was to the FEL...

Checked the mail. What! Am I the only one that does that?

So I posted before about the free travel on my FEL Joystick. Supposedly if there is any problem with the valve, you replace it. Well LS is out of stock. I asked my service rep if the valve has to be turned back in when replaced because I want to tinker with it a little. He told me...

I have a Crape Myrtle that is too close to my well, so I decided to rid of it. The root system is just as bad as Holly trees. My MY125 beast took care of it. Set it next to my last project. They are as not as big as they look.

I wrote before about the excess play in the FEL Joystick. I am trying to add a video. I’m not sure if it will load but here it is. FEL Joystick - YouTube The problem is not the stick itself being loose. The dealer had to order a new FEL valve. If the video does not work, please someone...

Took down a tree and removed a stump with my MT125 (The Beast)

I stopped by my dealer today to let them know they have to replace my control valve for the FEL. I noticed in the Op manual for the Loader LL1101 that you have an option for a quick attach. See pic. Does anyone know if the bucket that came with the tractor will work on the quick attach or...

Has anyone had any luck locating parts and service manuals online for the MT125? I seem some old posts, but seem to get nowhere. I’m looking for components to the FEL Joystick valve.

I already put 30 hours on my MT125 and want to share some of the problems and likes that I have. Problems: Control valve for back house had a lot of play and the stick itself became loose. There were four hex head bolts that were loose which caused the free play. I also tightened the nut on...

I noticed that something was not normal with the switch. I thought when you get off the seat when the tractor was running and the brake is not set, the engine is supposed to shut off. It did a few time and a few times it didn’t. A few days ago when the tractor was running as soon as It...

Stump number Three. The stump wasn’t much in diameter, but was deep. I did at least 5 feet down before the stump would budge. I couldn’t pull it out, but I was able to tip it over a ways and put dirt back over it.

Another stump removal with my MT125. This is the second stump I removed. This one was smaller, but more difficult. Holly tree roots are a nightmare. Didn’t bother clamping on my forks to move It, I just pushed it.

I put my little beast to work this week. I actually pulled I large stump. I dug it up and used my forks to lift and move it to my burn pile.

I pulled up a large stump with my little beast MT125. Didn’t think it could handle it but it was a simple task.

So I am still waiting for my LS MT125 and I enjoy reading all these posts since I cannot be working on my yard tasks yet. I see that some people have their tires filled. Would that be beneficial to a MT125 that is equipped with a FL and BH? Seems like that would be enough weight already...

So after a lot of research on subcompacts, I bought a MT125. Unfortunately it’s been over a week and it hasn’t arrived yet. This is the first time I purchased something without seeing and touching it. The dealer is about 20 miles from me and the next one after that is 75 miles. Neither...

I bought the MT 125 without the MMM because I have a mower already, but it’s not going to last much longer. Many people are buying the zero turn mowers because of the speed. I can’t justify paying 4 to 5 thousand on a zero turn when I can add a MMM for more than half that, but how does the...

My new tractor will be arriving next week. It’s a MT125 with a Loader and Backhoe. My problem is there is no where to store it to keep it away from the elements. I know my wife would not like it if I take her car out of the garage and move the tractor inside. Is anyone keeping their...

I am thinking about buying a used Ransomes Bobcat 61 in Zero turn mower. the problem is I don't know the model. All I know is its a Ransomes Bobcat 61 In with a 23 HP Kohler engine. It seen pretty old but I dont see an data on it. I noticed a lot of the Ransomes Bobcats have a Kawasaki...

I took a look at the tractor today and it is a mess. I noticed a major repair that I'm not sure can be done. There is this motor, maybe a swing motor that has a piece broken off at the bolt. Picture attached. I was also told that the engine will stall out if the hydraulics are constantly...

Here are some pictures of the Tractor I am trying to verify if it is a 35 or 135.

I am looking to by an old Massey Ferguson Tractor. It has a front-end Loader MF 34 L8110 and a Backhoe MF 54 Serial 1409007324. I believe it is a Massey Ferguson Tractor 35, but I am not positive. It is yellow and the serial number is 9A 173806. I am not sure if the "1" is a T or an I. (See...
