Yup, well done OTT Mods! :) Mumbai Reliance Park......

Welcome.to OTT I gotta say, your first post was mis-leading. I admit to knowing next to nothing about your particular tractor but the comment 'Time the fuel pump' made no sense and did in fact, sound like BS. Had you said 'They need time to properly do the fuel pump recall/TSB' that would of...

I'd stay withe a ThreerBond 1207. About $25. The sad partis you use so little and the tube, once opened, like caulk, goes bad in time. When using, less is more, just a tiny bead as it squishes. Perfect amount barely squeezes out the seams.

Replace it. Then see if you can straighten and reweld the bent area, grind, then save it for an emergency back up.

Looks like I need another tool. I recently took my BH off, inside a cool building. I made extra sure to do it with a cold tractor (fluid cold) and shut the tractor off, wiggled all lines after the outriggers were strapped up. A few months later, temps not more than 20 degrees different, cold...

Before I did anything, I'd do a leak down test to determine if anything needs to be done. If something needs to be done to the valves.... You remove a valve Inspect the valve seating area and seat, looking for pits. Pits? New valve, cut the seat. Cupped valve? Replace the valve, may have to...

Mark 2

I'm not sure of the interface of the pedals/hand controls on your mini-ex. Most are at floor level. I could see a pebble getting in from a shoe and blocking movement. Murphy's law. I was mowing some years ago, some sticks in the yard. I was thinking....';what if a stick gets kicked up and jams...

Good to hear it was a nothingburger. I'll bet there was a pebble in the control valves linkage that got jostled out. Good you got practice transporting it! :)

Done it once with the Kubota. Fortunately, it was just mangled metal cover over the header and I had a guy coming in a week to do other trim work so.... And I did it once with the wife's car (garage door was not fully opened.) That was a $1,500 insurance claim!!! New shop has a 10' high door...

Brightspeed..... I went through this myself. Noisy line. Three years of calling, getting a worthless tech out. They had no real interest in fixing because 'Fiber is Coming'. Right, out to rural nowhere. I held my breath and passed out. I ended up contacting the FCC. Suddenly I got Brightspeeds...

My old Sears oiless has just a lame foam disk air filter. Replaced it once because it crumbled when I took it out to clean. Same one is in it for the last 20 (???) years. I figure the compressor is run for a few hours a week, maybe 150 hours a year. I drain the tank every use, a table spoon of...

Oil, every year, filter, every 100~150 hours (Two or three years). First change is very important. Even if well less than the manual 50 hours, oil and filter. Too many changes is 100X better than not enough.

Check the control valves to see if debris is in the linkage that inhibits movement. If it backs up fine, its not the tracks

No sledge!!! Soft rubber mallet. I could hit my leg with the mallet and not get hurt/bruised. I can 'almost' get the pin in by hand but it does not slip in like it did years ago. I suspect it is tweaked. Since it is not just loosen the bolts and let it find itself, I'll have to figure out what...
