So, tried to start my 4105 for the first time in several months. It sounds to me like it will try to crank for just a second or two then go to just clicking. I think I was dumb and forgot to put any stabilizer in the fuel that is in the tractor. Is this just stale fuel? Do I need to try to...

So I now have a Farm King Y750R finishing mower. It sat in a field for about a decade before I pulled it out to try to get it working. I was able to get it running, but I am really struggling to get the blades off for sharpening/replacement. I don't have a real breaker bar, but I am also...

I just took delivery of my 4105. As I was getting used to it, I noticed that are two switches on the left side of the dash that aren't labeled in my manual. Any idea what these might do or is there a checklist of things I could check to see if they affect? Thanks in advance.

We just moved onto our land and I have about 7 acres of field around the house. It is old pasture land that is extremely bumpy and hard. I would like to work toward getting it smooth enough to cut a least a portion of it with the zero-turn. We are looking for a larger tractor, but I am...

So, we have moved onto the new land finally and it is time to upgrade the little Ford 1700 I have been using to cut the field. I feel like I have read so much and looked at so many tractors, but I am getting a bit overwhelmed with what I should be looking for. Here is what I think I want...

We are looking to upgrade our tractor soon and have been looking at a 1997 JD 5300 for around 25k. It is 4wd, about 2000 hrs with a loader. It's been on the lot at our local equipment dealer for a while and I was wondering why. Does this seem like the right price? Are there things I should...

So we are looking to move up to a larger tractor. I love my 1700 but I could have really used either a loader or more power in the last year or so. When discussing it with someone, I mentioned looking at this '97 JD 5300 for sale near us. It meets all our criteria (4x4, loader, hp, etc)...

So I am trying to get a Farm King y750r finishing mower working again. My current problem is that the PTO shaft is kinda stuck. The release on either end seems to be stuck and the two halves of the PTO shaft are stuck together. Does anyone have any advice on freeing everything up and...

So this happened out in the field the other day after I turned the tractor off to brush of the radiator. When I went to get back on, the tractor wouldn't start. Didn't even try to crank, but lights came on. Had the tractor in neutral, clutch depressed as far as it would go. After doing some...

So after mowing for about 4 hours this weekend, my 1700 began to develop a 3point problem. The 3-pt was no longer holding up the bush hog. If I fiddled with the controls a bit, it would lift up the bush hog and then drop it back again. If I let it try to hold the cutter up then it will...

So I have a 4-5 hours bush hogging on the tractor now and I've come up with several questions. 1st. I have a very short stretch of road between where the tractor is stored and where I am working with it. Maybe 1/4 mile at most. I'd like to be able to get the tractor up to a good speed on the...

So, while this is not the most important item on my list of questions, it does seem to be one I am having a hard time answering. Our new to us Ford 1700 is in a bit of rough shape cosmetically. On the list of things I would love to do is take off all the surface rust and re-paint it, but...

Hey Y'all, I am a new tractor owner and wanted to say hi. I have been reading a lot of things this weekend so you all have already been so helpful. We are working on building a new home on a 30ac piece of property we acquired in the last year. The property has been let be wild for about 10...
