When i saw the code "eng ng" the first thing I thought was Engine No Good😁

You got off easy. From personal experience, I know that can happen and I'm happy for you that it's resolved before you were as dumb as I was. As a new member here you may enjoy a repeat of my cranial flatulence. Reader's Digest version: Stopped tractor (Ford 1210) to go inside for a glass of...

You kicked the shifter out of gear.

My L4240HSTC shows 35HP on the PTO. I do run a 90" that is 100# lighter than the LandPride you mention. This match-up works well. I believe a heavier deck would work on it as well. In the past 35 years I've run the current combo as well as 5 foot decks on tractors with 13.5 and 16 PTO HP...

My guess is also a weld to balance the impeller. It's at a good place (back of the blade) so nothing should affect it.

It helped me see the fluid after I sanded the metal dipstick to create a "grain".

Not understanding that because the FEL can be lowered just as slowly whether the engine is running or not. Just this week I had a couple hundred pound piece of table top on my forks and lowered it just fine. I did curl the forks a bit before shutting the engine off because level forks at 4' off...

Have you eliminated the controls as the source of the problem?

Thanks for the update

Nice haul S-G-R! I'd appreciate more info on the fenders. If someone on this side of the border wants 'em, it becomes a DIY project. I'm guessing that round piece over the grease zerk is hollow and capped for access to the zerk?

Should have mentioned that when removing the FEL the very last thing I do is remove the hoses. This is with the engine off and the the FEL sitting free and cycling the joystick.

I always remove and install the FEL with the engine shut off. Implements on the 3PH get done with the engine running or stopped if they are not powered by the PTO. Any time the PTO is connected or disconnected the engine is stopped.

Had this with Stihl oil, but since the fix is so easy i will continue to use it: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/stihl-kombi-lives.77019/

We put something similar in for a project where we added a small compressor room. It was to handle rain from the additional roof. The hole was lined with fabric then the stone was placed, and then the fabric was folded in over the stone. Fabric was to keep the dirt out of the stone.

Yesterday - put the brush forks on to handle a table top I pulled out of storage. Years ago on a project they had new lab table tops that someone mis-measured so they were scrapping them. It sat here for more than 10 years waiting to be needed for something. That day finally came. We were...
