I bought this tractor knowing that the steering had problems. I felt like this small little box should be easy to repair. The previous owner bought all new parts and gave up on the repair. I did read Vic's articles and watched his videos. I disassembled the box and I can see that all of the...

Well, I expected some bashing on this post. I know most are here just to read and learn. I do the same. There's lots of good info here and a lot of experienced people to help. It just seemed odd to me that some posts have hundreds of views and just a couple of replies. I too am in the crowd that...

Man O man, That is one sweet tractor. Congrats to you.

Bulldog, Thanks for the input. The operator's manual calls for gear oil (80-90w). It is on page 23 (page 25 of the pdf). http://www.landpride.com/ari/attach/lp/public/manuals/311-252m.pdf. It is really odd for it to be leaking with so little use. I did have to pull off a lot of hay twine...

It seems that the upload did not take. Here is the link. http://www.landpride.com/ari/attach/lp/public/manuals/311-251p.pdf

Eric, Thanks for the reply. I can see your point on the use of grease. It doesn't flow. I am going to try a heavier gear oil? I am thinking 85w140. It is really a simple mechanism. It has 2 seals for 2 shafts, 2 bearings, 2 sprockets, and a chain. It is very basic. Yes, I could change the seal...

I got it from one of the two big boys. It's a Troy Bilt chipper/shredder with a 2" capacity chipper. Bigger would have been better, but, I talked them down $250.00, because it was a display model. It has a few minor scratches, but, the engine has never seen any oil or gas. It is a B&S 850...

It's good to hear from you Big T. If you are ever in Keithville, La., I'll give you some free beer. Whoa now, wait a minute, don't you all come at once. Maybe one of you at a time and a little spread out over time. Anyway welcome aboard. I am a newby here also. I like it here. Everyone is very...

Come on guys, chime in. It's free. This is a great place to communicate.

Let's here some more views on this one. I will re-introduce myself if it happens. This place is great.

Man, this thing is like new otherwise. Really. The tines show hardly any wear at all. The other end of the tine shaft has a greased bearing. Please give your thoughts.

My Landpride RTA1050 48" tiller that I recently bought is leaking gear oil where the seal to the tine shaft and sprocket share a bearing. I hope this makes sense. It leaks down within a couple of days. It has a cover guard for the chain and sprockets. Even if it leaks down to the bottom of the...

I hate to hear that you couldn't play with your toy. I have a similar situation. I went through 3 tractor purchases before I found the tractor that I want to keep. It is an L1501. The radiator leak that I have is on an L175. It seems to be small. I will try your remedy and let you know how it...

To helomech, Service Dept Vic, cabu, and fj40dave, Thank you for the warm welcome. I can't wait to start asking for advice. That's what newbies do, is it not? I know that I am going to like it here. As soon as I can, I will post some pics of my little toys. I trust that you will appreciate them...

I think that it would be nice to have a category for newbies to introduce themselves. I think that it would be a good place for the old timers to introduce newbies like myself. Thanks

Mr. K and Vic, I really wasn't sure where to start my thread as a newbie. I mentioned some ailments on my first two tractor purchases with hopes of some suggestions. So that is why I posted here. I have found many ideas that may help me in other threads. I think that it would be nice to have a...

Butch, it sounds like your neighbor got a really nice deal for his tractor with FEL and scraper. I hope he joins the forum to share, if he hasn't already. My favorite attachment is going to be the Landpride tiller. It will beat the H@!! out of my Troy Bilt tillers. Don't get me wrong I love my...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm busy working at my real job for now. I should get some time off soon to play with my new toys (new to me). I know I will be picking your brains. I have read a lot of threads here so far. It's comforting to know that we as a group can help each other with ideas...

First, I would like to say what a great community this is. You guys here are giving great advise. I hope to contribute to this someday. For now, I am totally uneducated with the orange tractors. But, thanks to you, I am learning fast. For years, I have been wanting to invest in a small tractor...
