    FERRIS IS700Z FUEL TANK MOD

    I always hated filling the gas tank on our Ferris mower as in order to get it to the full mark you had to fill slowly once it got up to the bottom of the filler neck which extended down into the tank a bit. Always spilled fuel as it reached the bottom of the filler neck and no way for air to...

    Snow blower on Case DX40

    I have zero experience with 3 point snow blowers, I found a 7 foot Arps twin auger blower looks to be in good condition owner says it works good. Will my tractor handle it or should I keep using my snow pusher? I thought if I ever pave the driveway a blower would be a lot friendlier to the...

    Garage lean-to

    I want to add an enclosed lean-to to my garage with a concrete floor. It is right next to a steep bank, so I am considering putting down several inches of pea gravel under the slab. My thinking is any water that gets under the slab can drain out the side of the bank to prevent heaving. Would...

    Differences in zero turn transmissions

    When looking at zero turn mowers they talk about the transmissions in numbers like 2800, 3100 or 3200. My question is do all the manufacturers use transmissions built by the same company, which I would doubt but not sure, or does the number indicate a size or build standard or something else...

    Rear finish mower mowing intervals

    Is it a problem mowing existing lawn every six to eight weeks with a rear finish mower? If the grass is six to eight inches tall will it plug easily? I would rather have a finish mower than a brush hog, just think I would get more use out of it, but not sure how it works on taller grass. I...

    Ford 501 pittman arm

    The pitman arm broke on my sickle mower, it sat outside before I got it. When I got it I soaked it with drain oil, got a few years out of it. Was wondering if I could make one out of steel instead, I have no where to store the mower except outside so a metal one would last as long as the...

    I was working with my Case DX 40 last night plowing snow. I went down a steep hill into the woods, on the way out I was climbing the hill to the road. She started spinning so I pushed the differential lock. The lock seems to be set a little too far back so when I pushed it I inadvertently...

    Mystic 10 w 30

    I was having trouble finding 10 w 30 oil for my Case DX 40. I stopped at Fleet Farm today and found Mystic 10 w 30 the only brand besides Fleet Guard they had. Will this be a good oil for my tractor? It was a little over $18.00 for two gallons. It is a semi synthetic oil that exceeds API CJ-4.

    Aftermarket cab

    I'm considering a cab for my Case DX40, was wondering what people are paying, and how satisfied they are with them. I looked at the Curtis website but they don't show interior or explain how to mount the cab. Would there be a lot of drilling involved? Are they hard to remove for the summer if...

    Hooking up pto shaft arrgh!

    Just used my Ford 501 sickle mower behind my new DX40 for the first time. I had one heck of a time sliding the shaft onto the tractor. I finally tapped it on with a hammer but could not get it on all the way. I mowed ditches without it being on all the way, stopped and checked it once in a...

    I went over to the neighbors today to see if I could borrow his six foot tiller, I work for him in the fall, so figured no problem, which it wasn't. Except his tiller was hooked up to his Agco ST41 tractor. So he says just take tractor and all, that way you won't have to unhook the tiller...

    Stuck with a hydro

    If you get stuck in mud with a hydro is it harder to get out than with a gear shift? It seems to me that it would be harder to rock the tractor in order to get momentum working for you, especially when you let off the pedal it is like putting on the brakes. I have a hydro, just haven't had a...

    Hydro on 40 and 45

    How smooth are the hydro's on these tractors? I test drove a New Holland 45 horse, seemed to whine kind of noisily and a bit jerky. Are they better when they get some hours on? To get the features I like I guess I will have to get a hydro.
