    Tires  Anyone know wheel bolt pattern?

    I am looking for the wheel bolt pattern for the MT125 and the XJ2025 tractors. I know 5 bolt, but can't get a precise spacing... 110mm, 112mm? If anyone has the specific pattern, I would greatly appreciate it. Looking to get wheel spacers and there are a lot that are very close in size

    Can hydraulics for backhoe be used for adding rear controls for hydraulic attachments

    I saw a post on the Massey forum where someone made a top and tilt for their rear blade. I think they used the hydraulic quick connects for their BH, but they didn't specify. Would it be as simple as getting a valve, cylinders, and hoses? I'm looking to add tilt to my blade, maybe later angle. I...

    Mower cuts better in reverse ?

    I have a DGS6500 26hp, 54" cut deck. When the grass is high, or I'm cutting in a weedy area, it leaves a bunch of uncut grass. Not so much like a strip, but just random clumps of grass. When the blades are freshly sharpened, it only leaves an occasional uncut clump. Do I need to sharpen the...

    Rear Finish Mower  Opportunity to buy a slightly used very clean 72" county line finish mower

    I have an opportunity to get a very clean county line 72" finish mower for $600. The reveiws I have read vary from "great for the price" and " had it for 4 seasons w/o any problems", to the opposite "broke on my third pass" and "what a POS!". I cut about 4 acres of low scrub grass / weeds. No...

    What a PIA to change the oil on mt125!

    Started off this morning to do the first 50 hrs oil change. Started to loosen the oil drain plug, turning it out by hand, oil leaking around the bolt, only to find that it comes out about 3/4 of the way, then hits on the front axle center pivot! thought I could just jack up one side of the axle...
