    first time pto

    If that does not work replace the grease zerk. They are cheap and easy to remove and replace. And yes, it takes grease, not oil. Also, there is another grease zerk on the other end of the drive shaft. Don't forget to grease that one too. In fact, make sue that all zerks are lubed. One pump of...

I ended up going back to work and now I am too busy to go camping, hunting, boating... Next time I retire it will be when my...

    Gobal Warming

    While on the West Coast we have much colder than normal weather. Snow levels 1000 feet lower than normal and a very wet Autum. Leaves turning color 3 weeks before normal and black ice already. Yeah, I guess Global Warming is real. NOT!

    Whining

    I came to this site because I am new to the tractor world. I do not have a lot to contribute to the discussions yet because almost everyone on this site knows worlds more about tractors than I do. I stay on this site because I really want to learn from those more experienced than I am. Sometimes...

    Cryptobrian, I just noticed that you hail from Maple Valley. Is that in Washington? I sent you a PM.

    Dropped Blade

    That can looking thing is installed as a part of the blade assembly. Look under your mower and you will see how it is assembled. Did you hit a big rock or something? The fact that the bolt sheared may mean that it was over-tightened to begin with. Anyway, something compromised the metal...

    Portable gas cans

    I hate these new cans too. As others have mentioned they actually cause spills because of the awkward way you have to pull the little lever to get the spout to open up and the ridiculous short spout that cannot pour into a car or truck. I see gas cans on the side of the road at least once a...

    Running Problem

    I would try to replicate the problem going down the same slope. Do not put any more fuel in the tank. If you can successfully replicate the problem going down the same slope, then add fuel to the tak and try again. If the mower stays running after adding fuel, then it sounds like it could be a...

    Check those mower deck bolts

    So I was mowing my lawn this weekend and when I raised the mower deck at the end of the row to turn around (while the bleades were spinning) I heard a racket that sounded like I was hitting rocks. The first pass or two I actually thought that some rocks or gravel got caught in the mower...

    bx 1870 new help!!

    I have not checked where the fuel filter(s) are on my BX1860 but I am not having any problems with it yet. I have almost 90 hours on mine and it still gets almost 3400 RPMs at full throttle when cutting through 6 inch high grass. So, it would appear that I do not have any fuel flow issues from...

    Bucks on game cam

    I have only owned my property since March so I really do not know what to expect to see each year but there are 8 antlerless deer that stay on my property each night. I have not seen a buck among them yet but they have to be somewhere close. My wife regularly feeds them apples from our back...

    Driveway - big mess!!!!

    I won't even pretend to know anything about grading a road but I think that I would attampt to crown the road. It seems to me that you need to get some more crushed rock or gravel too. To keep on top of the wash outs I think that you would need to make sure that you fill any pot holes as soon...

    Take it for what it's worth to you bouys and gulls

    Look, I know that several on this forum don't like Obama. I certainly don't. However, just a little over 1/2 of the people in this country voted for him. Think of this in another way, ALL of the idiots in this country voted for him. Thought of in anotehr way, the chances are that if you did not...
