    Overheating problems

    Have you tested temperature with a known accurate gauge/thermometer? Senders and guages go bad like everything else. Have you cleaned radiator fins? How long have you owned tractor? Have you put chemical in coolant to detect combustion byproducts? Blown head gasket is a common cause of...

    Another BX25D with a dead dash

    You dove in way too deep before looking at the simple things first. I'm glad you want to troubleshoot your problems rather than taking them to the dealer and we're here to help for as long as you want. Step #1 when there's electrical malfunction , test post to post on battery. 12.6 or...

    B2630 Battery/Starting issue

    Don't attempt to learn everything in a single session,take baby steps learning as you go. Getting out in front of the hounds before knowing what the hounds are tracking will not lead anywhere good.

    mystery solved....

    I venture to say majority of mfgring plants in the USA invests more time and money trying to protect themselves from lawsuits involving OSHA,EPA and other violations of government mandates than they invest in quality control. For weld being discussed here I expect attempts to hold down...

    Another BX25D with a dead dash

    "Cleaned the contacts"?????? How did you clean them? Put a load ( something like a non-led tail light with clips on leads) on each circuit and see if voltage remains unchanged. By unchanged I mean no change in tenths of volt. Keep in mind that like a chain being only strong as it's weakest...

    mystery solved....

    That's what it looks like to me to and that's what can happen when welding steel that's not suitable for welding. I pursued Kubota for weeks trying to find what alloys were used for the busted part on my tractor. Thier answer is "a good welder will know which process,filler and heat to use"...

    Z421 only starts jumping across solenoid

    I don't have the same machine but troubleshooting is pretty much the same ,give or take a few safty switches. I sugget you listen and feel for where the CLICKING is coming from while attempting to start. NOT THE CLICK when key is turned to run,that's fuel cutoff and has nothing to do with...

    Z231KW-42 - Increasing vibration problem causing deck pulley bearings to wear out prematurely

    Good reason for op to bail out when he still can and not risk future "not a manufacturing defect" issues. If a dealer can't fix issues while under warranty don't you know they will drain your bank account when it's at owner's expense?

    ZG227 blowing fuse/then won’t do anything

    What Lugbolt said. If you don't own and know how to use a multimeter,buy one and have someone show you how a multimeter is used to troubleshoot problems like this. I can't troubleshoot my own stuff without using a meter,it's wishful thinking to belive I can troubleshoot yours unless you give...

    Z231KW-42 - Increasing vibration problem causing deck pulley bearings to wear out prematurely

    That is exactly what I would do at this point. Send dealer certified letter demanding a new Z-turn withing 10 days and if not you will buy a different brand from a different dealer then pursue refund of what I paid dealer plus compensation for having to beg,borrow,rent and steal mowers while...

    This is what happens when you don't know sh!t about machinery.

    Which really isn't bad unless you happen to almost already have everything and looking to complete the set before dying. 😂

    This is what happens when you don't know sh!t about machinery.

    Got to love it when people share gifts with old folks. My kids mock me for being frugal then turn around to " borrown" things that turn out nice . I picked up a John Deere LA145 free off Next-door Neighbor forum. Guy said he was tired of paying small engine shop $150 to replace starters...

    Disconnecting hydraulic lines

    Thanks Hokie. Here's where I am at on it. I only had tapered threads to plug ports in outlet block and like you I don't like them for hydraulics so I disconnected hose flares at loader instead. To protect fittings and contamination I coupled hoses end to end with a flare x flare fitting...

    Disconnecting hydraulic lines

    Brush Hog 1840QT loader. I'm a slow learner so for benefit of me and anyone else sharing the handicap, does "jumpered" mean connecting two lines from pump together so fluid flows freely from one to the other? What other advice can you offer specific to the 1840QT and how might if differ for...

    Disconnecting hydraulic lines

    I'm temporarily removing fel from B1750HST and don't know how to treat open ports on tractor and fel. I don't anticipate using implements while loader is off but I will be driving tractor from shed to shed. I don't want to oil the ceiling when tractor is started but unsure tape is adequate...

    Overheats only when turned off

    What is that saying about "doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result"? Keep this up and you won't need to know what causes this to happen,you will need a new engine. Diesel engines ALL DIESEL ENGINES are intolerant of overheating and start melting from the inside out...

    Overheats only when turned off

    I suggested GAUGE might not be reading sensor. I'm aware the sensor has been replaced but new sensors don't fix defective gauges.
