It could be something minor or it could be something major, then it might be a combination. Only way to find out is with a multimeter or hire someone to find it for you.

Were it not for cooler weather coming in on Monday I'd winch it on and bring it home. You can try bleeding and starting. If it's geared rather than HST, it can be pull started. I have two suggestions. #1 Don't keep grinding on starter without giving it a break to cool down. #2 Don't use...

Shrink tube is the best solution I've found for connections that will not be unplugged. "Quick connect/disconnect" indicates they will be unplugged and plugged, in which case I use dielectric grease.

If I am mowing in dusty conditions the radiator and tractor gets washed the following day. Make sure engine has cooled down before spraying cold water on it. Otherwise something might crack from sudden temperature change.

Much good information. May I add my thoughts? Overheating is right up there with the major killers of diesels engines of all colors and sizes. For that reason I upgrade temperature monitoring on all when new. If engine has a diagnostic port, there's plug and play devices that monitor...

I'm still using Craftsman and Sears tools bought between 1965 and 1970 when I worked for them. Returns were sold at employee's catalog store. With their Money Back Guarantee , people would buy power tools and return them after finishing project. My mom would say "Sears had retail by the tail...

AS they say, there's more than one way of skinning cats. Looks like that also holds true for shallow trenches. Now to figure out the best way to fill them in when no longer needed.

It's the game if game is what it's called. The "game" allows people to go through live without taking full responsibility for their actions. How many repeat criminal offenders can you name that paid attorneys for defending them? Were I to start life over with knowledge I've gained in this...

Bankruptcies are often nothing more than glorified stealing. No company should ever be allowed to reorganize and start over until past debts and obligations are paid off. An air conditioning contractor was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to install equipment in our church. He filed...

Please forgive me, I didn't recognize the switch amongst parts and mistook metal lines in background as a lawn chair. But you did say everything and that would include switch and metal line it screws into. Glad you have everything under control. (y)

Several wags have been made so another shouldn't hurt. I suggest you either test and confirm that pressure switch is good or simply replace it if cost is reasonable. System must be dry of refrigerant before replacing switch so best do it now than later if it's bad. My reasoning is that...

Rocks,roots,sand,clay,hard or soft, that will go where no bucket dares and live to tell about it.
