Used my GC 2300 to plough the garden,it worked good untill I was almost finished. Then it stopped spinning the tires. What I do know is that it started all of a sudden. If I rev up the tractor and dig with the loader [low range] it won't spin the tires, the strange thing is if I idle it down it...

To anyone who has one how do you like it so far. Sat on one at the Dealer and drove it around a bit but there wasn't any place to really make it work. How do you like the hydro static trans. Does it have a abrupt stop when your backing up and let go of the Pedal.{ the one I tried did} also does...

Thinking about replacing my 2007 GC 2300 with a new Gc 1700 series tractor. To all that have gotten a new 1700 series how do they compare to the 2300 series.

After buying a few shear pins for the snowblower and paying way to much I decided to make my own.I made a jig out of a piece of 1/4" pipe and a piece of angle iron.I welded the pipe to the angle iron placed the new shear pin/bolt beside the pipe to mark where to cut the slot.I then put the shear...

Here's how I made protectors for the Tie Rod Dust boots on my tractor.The boots aren't that bad to change but the cost of them seem to be kinda high in $$$$ so I decided to make quick on and off protectors.I posted the build in the Massey section of this forum so if anyone wants to see or get...

Made guards for the tie rod dust boots on my MF GC 2300 today.I had some 2" exhaust pipe so I used it to make the guards. First I cut a 70 degree angle on both ends of the pipe,next I cut the pipe 3 1/8" long measured from the long side of the angle.Then I welded a 7/8" flat washer over top of...

Was using the tractor the other day and could hear a strange sound comming from under the hood.I put my [gloved hand ] on the muffler and the noise would stop.I first figured it was the tin around the muffler that was ratteling.I took a hammer and tapped[put a small dent into the tin] and the...

Anyone find a alternate dust boot for the gc2300's tie rods.Called Massey parts today and just about fell over when was told $22 each:mad:.Ouch so wondering if anyone has found an alternative one that works just as well but a whole lot $$ cheaper.:)Larry

I built a one bottom plough for my 2300 last summer out of a old horse [ox] plough that I had bought at a yard sale for:thumbsup: $5. I had to make a shear as the original was missing.I made the shear out of a old brush mower blade that had broke.I made the 3 pth frame fully adjustable so I...

I had made a stump grinder for the 3pth on my MF 1655 now that I've gotten older decided to make it fit onto the front on my GC2300.It's to hard on my neck and back to have to keep looking behind.So first step is to take the 3pth stuff off and make a sleeve to fit onto the quick hitch.I'am...

Last summer I made a filter guard out of 1/4" plate for my tractor and just recently added in a L piece between the filter and PTO to protect both the filter and hydro unit from any possible u-joint failure's.Just finished making the skid plate for the trans as well out of 1/8" plate I made it...

I've been reading some threads in TBN about people disengaging there PTO's before disengaging the PTO clutch. I wouldn't think that this is a good practise.Eventually there could be potential for breaking off a tooth,or chipping off the ends of the gear's.If its done to often maybe the gears...

By accident today I grabbed onto the steering cylinder shaft and the cylinder moved around.It doesn't move side to side but will move up and down and back to front.Is this a normal thing or do I have something thats worn out.Looking in the parts manual I see that the cylinder is held in place by...

Has anyone installed a temp guage into a gc2300 and if so where would one install the temp probe.There's a place in the instument panel to mount one.I'd leave the idiot light connected but would really like to know what the temp of the coolant is in both summer and winter use.As always Larry:cool:

finally decided to pull the hydralic control valve apart and see why it's been leaking.The weather here has been great but snow is on the way.Been busy using the tractor and doing lots of loader work and of course oil has been leaking steadily from the valve and been making a bit of a mess on...

was out digging stones[ boulders] from my trails and had the loader almost down when poof the hose blew covering my tractor and cab windows etc with hydralic oil.I was about 1/2 mile from home so once I figured out that it was the loader arms hose that blew I was able to tilt the bucket to lift...

Built this cab for my massey gc2300 out of 1"x1" 100 wall tubing with Lexan attached to the tubing.As you can see sure it looks a bit boxy looking but the ROPS is inside the cab.The ROPS that came with mine is the one thats foldable so because I don't have the backhoe attachment I actually cut...

I'am kinda currious as to how much power does a massey gc2300 have in reverse compared to forward.I have a older massey 1655 with hydro and the power in reverse is the same as what its like in forward however I find that with the gc 2300 there seems to be a bit less power backing up.Eg: if I...
