Thanks guys, it was definitely bad and was leaking very badly at the crimp. None of the local dealers had it in stock but as 007K... mentioned one was willing to make the hose for just over $30. less than 10 minutes and a half gallon of UDT2 later back in business. :)

Loader is a LA525 and I developed a significant leak on one of the hoses to the main boom cylinder. Looking up the part number on Messicks it appears that there are two potential matches and one is approximately $48 and the other $103 which makes little sense to me. It seems that they both...

I had a similar issue with one of my previous zero turns and found that the pot clutch was the issue. Once I pulled the connector loose it would start and run just fine soon as I hooked it back up ir would blow the fuse and die. Not cheap but a pretty easy repair.

I paid about $4.65 here in Central VA week before last but have to drive about 20 minutes to get it. I noticed a little station up the road had "Off Road Diesel for $5.55. I buy 50 gallons at a time so its worth the drive.

My truck is 7 years younger than I am

It's alive!!! Man, once I reworked the carb, put new points and a distributor the darn thing fired right up. Purrs like a little kitten. I took it for a little spin and everything works as it should. I could not be happier. I have about $160 in parts for the battery, distributor cap and...

Update, I lubed it and was able to easily turn over the engine with the hand crank. I have cleaned the tank, fuel bowl and carburetor and am now waiting for new gaskets for the carburetor as once I cleaned up that I have some bad fuel leaks. I also put a new battery in and it is turning over...

I have the BAKFlip MX4 on my 2500HD. Absolutely would do it again. It is in four sections vs 3 on a lot of trucks which makes it a bit easier to fold as these 2500HD's are fairly tall. I also, opted for the T-Rail and ended up with a rack that I take on and off dependent on my uses...

It is an old 6 volt and will need a battery. Interesting thing is that it has the hand crank option and I found the old hand crank for it in the corner of the barn. :) That will be useful for turning over the engine once I add some old Marvel Mystery Oil to the cylinders.

Well I have decided to dig in a bit and at least get it running. I may decide to go as far as keeping it for a little garden tractor if it's not too involved. Drug it out a bit and started a little dismantling. I will drag it over to the house in the next week or so so I have access to water...

I appreciate the insight. I know it was running when it was parked as my FIL used it for his garden plot every year until he could not climb up on it any longer. Based upon the info provided on this forum, I think I will try to get it running and go from there. I fondly remember the distinct...

Good suggestion, I will do that in a few weeks when I can drag it out of the barn.

Thanks for the link as I had not seen this one!

Thanks!

Guys and Gals, I am in the process of clearing out the final portion of the barn of my MIL's old place. There is an old 1952 Massey Harris "Pony" that has belt PTO. Cultivators on it and an old belt driven saw table saw table on the back is in the other barn. It was running when it was parked...
