    Stuck!

    I don't think there is room in there for anyone else to get stuck. Not a single winch in sight (too bad). Makes me question the intelligence (but not the willingness) of the rescuers.

    Z421 60" deck with play in one spindle

    Yes, very simple spindle in your case. It uses a caged, ball bearing (and looks to have double seals) so no provision (or possibility) of being greased. When its done....its done. Some spindles use a tapered roller bearing and race....and require you to replace the race along with the bearing...

    Sharpen Rotary Mower Blades?

    Question: Does anyone buy new rotary mower blades and then 'dull' them before installing (so they will 'shred' brush better). ;) I've never....and do mean NEVER seen saplings 'grow back' from what I've cut with a rotary mower. Not from the 'cut' portion. Occasionally, you'll see new 'suckers'...

    Sharpen Rotary Mower Blades?

    (y) I certainly agree that the nuts can offer a 'challenge' when it comes time for removal. IF the nuts have not been removed recently then you likely will be dealing with not only the dynamic torque figure (used to tighten them) but also some amount of corrosion on the threads. The 'break...

    Sharpen Rotary Mower Blades?

    There 'might' be some units out there with a left hand thread, but the vast majority are a standard right hand thread (counter clockwise to loosen).

    Kubota L2800 front tires for Black Locust trees

    FDR 1672 mower

    ^^^^^ Yeah, no shear pin since the input shaft on the gearbox is splined. Also the output PTO shaft on your tractor. Since the spindles/blades are belt driven and a tensioning pulley used.....IF something is hit that suddenly stops/slows the blades, the belt(s) will just slip. If the inertia...

    Anyone have trouble with Titan FEL attachments?

    Could be a manufacturer defect. Titan Implements (changing name to IronCraft) is U.S. made. Titan Attachments (is mostly China imports).

    Kubota L2800 front tires for Black Locust trees

    Well 'something' has got to change. I'd foam fill for sure.

    A question for those with an MX5400/6000 with cab and A/C or similar tractor.

    I know, but it isn't. They had to name it 'something' and probably decided on a name that mechanics would be familiar with. Clearly....it does NOT tension the belt. It does however 'limit' belt movement. Toyota does this on several applications, most notably the 80 series Land Cruiser with...

    A question for those with an MX5400/6000 with cab and A/C or similar tractor.

    It's not a 'tensioner' pulley, else it would have obvious provision for adjustment. It is an 'idler' pulley and in this case is most likely there to prevent deflection. Same exact thing on 80 series Land Cruiser's. The belt does not touch the pulley. BUT because there is such a long...

    L2350DT Hydraulic Problem 3-PT Shakes

    From the factory the FEL and Power Steering share hydraulics (with the P/S having priority) But I've never had that affect the 3 pt on mine. IF the fluid for the 3 pt is 'foaming' for any reason that would certainly cause it to jerk/bounce.

    M7040 - AC works but blows hot after a while

    IF you used a rented vacuum pump then always replace the oil in the pump for best results removing moisture from the system. Always shut off all valves (manifold gauges and valves at pump) BEFORE shutting down the pump. If the system held vacuum (28inHg) or better then you were fine. If you...

    M7040 - AC works but blows hot after a while

    The A/C system on a tractor because of lack of insulation and lots of solar gain (from all the glass) will not usually perform as well as on a vehicle. Still you should see vent temps 25-30°F less than the ambient temp outside if things are working tip-top. It sounds to me that you have an air...

    M7040 - AC works but blows hot after a while

    You can have 'freezing' INSIDE the expansion valve if the system has moisture in it and the refrigerant charge is too low. That is why two of us have asked if you ran a vacuum pump on the system to boil off the moisture and remove it before recharging the system. IF your compressor were failing...

    M7040 - AC works but blows hot after a while

    Did you pull a vacuum on the system before recharging it? If not....you might have enough moisture in the system to freeze up at the expansion valve (internally). The drier has desiccant but can only handle so much. There should be a specified amount (weight) of refrigerant the system should...

    Are my expectations too high?

    I think you might be reading a LOT into this that wasn't there. Dealer could have offered to contact the OP as soon as possible (with respect to a sale) BUT the fact is...they can't sell something that is NOT in inventory. Just because the item is 'physically' there doesn't mean it is ready to...

    Kawasaki fx921v valve adjustment.

    Understand. Thank You for trying to help him with it. I shoot for .004 on the intake and .006" on the exhaust since it gets hotter and parts expand a bit more. Not sure what the issue is. But bringing the engine around to TDC (on the compression stroke) should result in both valves being...

    Kawasaki fx921v valve adjustment.

    ^^^^^^ Several models in the past. Most due to excessive heat in the heads, because folks would not clean the cooling fins and debris would build up.
