I found one but not both manuals for mine, its...

    L2250 shifter failure

    How to gently remove the top of the transmission on L2250?

    i've been to and downloaded the pdf of the user/owners manual for this puppy. 1) after a serious pressure washing the decades of mud buildup, got it clean enough to see and break the bolts and nuts loose. 2) got out a chisel and hammer to test if thats what it needed to pop that lid off the...

    I’m starting this thread to placeholder so when I have power for the phone I can actually search threads. It seems the high - low transmission shifter is stuck in the lower 4 gears from this “shuttle shift” design….. I know my way around search engines but, this time I’m falling on my face...

    Rear PTO to a mid mount mower idea

    this is why i posted the neat pics of the chain driven shaft flipper. I was figuring either a mototrcycle chain setup or a cam chain setup from like a typical v8 block. snag a couple extra sprockets with sealed bearings and then, drill a few holes in the thick sheet of metal and test it out...

    Rear PTO to a mid mount mower idea

    IT was a hobby idea to see if I was able to actually make it work.... as for the hydraulic pump and motor setup ... wow $1000-2500 is a wake up for this idea.

    Rear PTO to a mid mount mower idea

    so I have been curious... there are several ideas out there but, I have not found one close to what I want to see how costly it will be.

    7260 cub cadet clutch replacement

    looks like I will finally be doing this in the late spring to early summer. as for what parts cost.... holy cow!
