what is this

At the bottom of my front loader joystick is a small lever that I cannot find any information about. Anyone have an idea what this is for? Thanks. As noted below it is the "joystick lock lever" so the the loader cannot be moved.

The shorty orange one in the middle of this picture? I can describe what it does but I don't know what it's called and I want to make sure I'm using it right. I have the shop/maintenance book but NOT the operators manual — LMK if anyone knows where to get that online? Willing to buy it, had to...

Hello - I was washing my tractor this morning and discovered a damaged connector. I don't know what it's function is. Everything has been operating okay, as far as I know. The connector is at the rear of the tractor - behind the seat, inside the left rear wheel. Does anybody recognize this? It...

Hello Branson 15 series tractor here. What exactly is that PTO setting above the 560 one, the white with gear? PTO lever can be moved in both directions. Tractor has separate 3 position PTO switch in the dash. Down Auto>Off>Manual On. Manual graciously does not mention it at all.

What is this part? The rear remotes attach to it. I noticed today it was cracked with fluid running out of it. The tractor has less than 600 hrs and is still covered by warranty. I don’t run much off of the hydraulics. Most of my stuff is 3 point, but is there anything I could have done to have...

I've got a problem with my boom lift which is 90% hydraulic and 10% electrical, and right now it's the 10% electrical that's not working. A symbol that looks like a capital "Z" appears next to some of the wire traces on the logic diagram for the machine, does anyone know what it means? The...

This is very abnormal around here... especially this early in the winter.

Getting ready to remove my fuel tank because junk in the tank plugged the outlet line causing the tractor to stop running. Looking behind the seat there is a feature shown in the attached picture, the picture looks like a cigarette lighter but I doubt it, any idea what this is for? Thanks!

I found this near my tractor. It is some kind of bushing but I don't recognize it. Anybody know? Also I'm starting to understand why I couldn't identify my hydro leak without using UV dye and a blacklight. Fired my tractor up and noticed a drip right about where there hardline drip I just...

Hello, I have a Kubota B2710. It has a plastic "Tool Box" beneath the seat, and that box needed a repair. I removed the box to more easily fix it, and looking beneath it, saw a part that I had not looked at before. That part is marked with green arrows in the photo below. The rod marked in...

I recently purchased a 2018 kioti 3510 chse. The previous owner seemed to take good care of it but also is very dishonest. He installed various electrical accessories. He said that he experienced a parasitic drain which was draining the battery. So rather than solving this he installed a...

Someone on the local NextDoor posted this, they found it in their yard. My best guess is that it was a wagon wheel, repurposed with the ends of the spokes anchored (apparently with rebar) so that the center of the wheel can be used to have something stuck in it - maybe a flag pole or an...

The time has come to change the antifreeze in my 4500P and I cannot determine which antifreeze to use. According to the Ventrac manual on page 51 it states that 50% ethylene glycol is needed and "..ethylene glycol antifreeze of different colors can be mixed." However, the FD851D engine manual...
