10-4....thanks again!

Thanks again for all the help. Yes, after we drained the original "bad" fuel, we added new fuel from another source and then shocked treated it with an algaecide I got from NAPA. I have a 50 gallon tank i keep out at the farm, never had this trouble. Actually, i got the fuel back in...

Thank you both, BigG and Bulldog!!!

Bulldog...thanks for the quick reply. I'm an idiot when it comes to mechanical stuff. We did drain the entire tank on the tractor already. And I'm game to do whatever, but just for clarification. Drain it again and put new fuel in and let that drain until fuel is clean? And by clean do you...

Kinda new to this so forgive me if this has been ask and answered a million times. Cranked my tractor and it made it about 100 yds before stalling out. Finally got it back to the barn. Had a mechanic come by and he told me I had algae in my fuel. So he drained to entire fuel tank and we...

Alright, I'm not sure what happened with the 65 model, but I traded it in for the heavy duty model. The heavy duty model works perfectly fine with my tractor. So, I guess problom solved. THanks for all your help.

I talked to the dealership, they are willing to let me trade in the 65 for the 70 or the heavy duty. I would be interested in getting the HD to dig larger holes, becuase he told me that the model 70 wouldn't be able to do it. Largest it would go is 12". However all that being said, I would...

Bulldog, thanks. I think I am going to see if they would be willing to trade in for a model 70. I had already called and asked if they sold me a compact model, and they reassured me that it was not. I have my doubts, but maybe I can get the model 70. Thanks!

I really love it. Nothing to compare it to, since this is our first tractor. We bought a small farm for hunting so we needed something for plots and general work. I got the HST which is really nice doing bucket work. We have sandy soil so I had the dealership put water(along with something...

I have MX5100, when I remove my foot from the pedal it stops. There is a lever on my left that is like a cruise control lever. Don't know if you have that as well, but I would make sure that it is not engaged.

I moved the center link to the middle and top holes, the problem got worse. The model number I believe is a 65. I took a few measurements this past Saturday, however like a fool I didn't write them down. I did notice that when I raised the 3ph, it did get very close to binding with the angle...

Bulldog, Could you explain what you mean about the lower link being too short. Is something wrong with the tractor or the implement?

Thanks for all the advice. I have been out of town and unable to check the posts. I am a bit confused. I was under the impression that the upper center link would have maximum lift if it is in the lower hole verses the upper hole. However, I'll try anything. I called the person I bought the...

Thanks! I will certainly check the measurements. I will also check to make sure that the bit and unit are the correct ones. I really appreciate all of your assistance. My main concern is that the lifting mechanism on the tractor is properly working. It sounds as if it is from all of your...

Two more pix. Hope all this helps.
