My RX7320 is home.

By investigating the vibration noise from the kickstand, I discovered where the lost nuts had come from. I will try to snap a picture today. But I found that I had lost 3 nuts (I had recovered 2 of them) from inside that kickstand...they they were spinning with vibration and had come off. I replaced them with the locking type and that was quickly fixed. Today I will be checking around to order some new scarifier blades.

Glad you solved the mystery of the lost nuts! That was a puzzler on such a new machine.

Wow, sounds like she's enjoying the tractor almost as much as you! I have that box blade and love it, but Woods lists it on their site as medium duty. http://www.woodsequipment.com/files/Products/Literature/Landcape%20Equipment%20Full%20Line%20B04024.pdf (see p. 9 of the pdf). Your tractor is quite a bit more powerful than mine, but still, she must have had up a good head of steam to do that to the scarifiers!

I am sorry. I meant to say the list it as medium duty but I was told it would hold up like a tank. I did notice in the manual that the scarifier is listed as heavy duty, but again, I imagine the ones in the gannon box are much more stout. Yes, she was really rolling thru there and she tore into some big roots. I picked up a few scarifier blades at tractor supply yesterday, after I left my excavator dealer. I haven't had time to check them for fit. I also got a set of metric wrenches that goes from 21-25 mm. The handles are not small, but those sizes seem to be used a lot on this tractor.

BTW, the tractor has been named. Wiley. Which seems quite appropriate for a number of reasons, but also because my wife has a story about catching a roadrunner with her hands when she was about 12.

Box blade mayhem.

Wow that is some twisting. I have five hours on mine and am going thru the same thing you are with tightening things. Need to look and see what else needs to be touched when I get on her again in a few days. It will be much easier when I live there. I looked over my son in laws tools and was sad not to see what I needed. This trip the Motorhome and a full toolbox is going down.

Jam a stick or shim into the little rattling kickstand on the FEL. Mine did the same thing but the redneck fix has held up for seven years.

Did it come with the mirrors or did you add them?

 

[Tinstafl]

Mirrors are standard at least on my PX 9020 and on the RX I was looking at.

 

[WoodChuckDad]

Mine came with mirrors.

I did the transmission filter change this weekend. The 50 Hr maintenance. As everyone else has said, they are insanely tight...some say painted on.. I ran a thin knife blade around the seal several times trying to cut any paint, but I don't actually think they were painted...just crazy tight. I needed a vice grip chain wrench and had to use my foot to turn it. the filters were destroyed. But my tractor carries on.
