ASSUMING the description is accurate (Blade is lower, not that side of the deck is lower). Are both ends of that blade the same distance from the ground? Visualizing that the blade hit something and bent one side down. Less likely is something could have come loose on the top side? Nut...

I think Sue Aikens did that onan episode of Life Below Zero.

Or this?

I have a subsoiler that's been used several times to loosen the ground. My L4240 won't pull it at anything near full depth here. When my parents wanted power to a shed maybe 100' away from their house I rented a walk-behind trencher for 1/2 day at a local hardware store. It made a nice clean...

Since the word PUT is used in lieu of HOLD it may mean that the stick should remain in float position without assistance. Before getting the snow blade on my tractor I used the loader and a rear blade for snow removal. When using the loader I'd float it. It was nice to have the joystick hold...

Congrats. If you're mowing anything over 2 acres you'll be glad for that extra width.

The gauge wheel yoke and blade spindle assembly appear to have the same part numbers for both decks mentioned. I guess when installed on a wider deck they are more robust;)

Why would HP matter when cutting grass? I could see concern if you're bush hogging saplings and scalping dirt. Having a few more horses than needed doesn't mean that they will be applied. I've owned a couple Land Pride decks and wouldn't be afraid of any of them. If you have a considerable...

First thought is to do as Runs With Scissors suggests. IF you are mechanically inclined, patient and lucky you could have a look at the innards. I once had a B7500 that "lost" the float mode. Although it was stored inside water must have gotten into the valve (not into the hydraulic section...

It rained in my part of PA. Even had a flood watch in the county. We were in Costco in Lancaster this afternoon and a downpour came through. Sounded like someone was driving a train on the roof.

I'm no mechanic and certainly not versed on computerized stuff. According to a few things that popped up the serious concern would be the P0605. The other two may possibly be fixed with cleaning them.

One of the many stories about the company I worked for that didn't have "tractor people" working there was when they bought a large light materials bucket for their Montana. Then they tried using it for everything. The tractor wasn't happy.

Found these: P0102 MAF sensor P0605 PCM failing its own ROM check P0336 crankshaft position sensor error

Here are two pics I found on the internet - not mine. I couldn't find any pictures of the left side of mine with the stock muffler and my expired stock muffler went away years ago. One picture is an original muffler and the other is a 1210 that still wears the stock muffler. What appear...

The original horizontal mount ran out the front without additional support. When the tractor hits a bump the rotational force at the flange might be pretty much the same.
