    L4400 position control lever stop

    I cannot seem to find this part--I believe its called a position control lever stop knob. The manual makes no mention of it--but probably wouldn't and I am assuming there was one on here at some point. My wife has recently began using the finish mower and bush hog for big fields and she could...

    Water somehow getting into Bush hog Gearbox

    Thank you both for the replies. Very informative and explains (maybe) the color. But my question is the same as BigG...Why is the oil level rising to the point of it pouring out of the check hole, when it is only filled to the bottom of the check hole?

    Water somehow getting into Bush hog Gearbox

    I purchased a used Bushhog 286. When I got it the first thing I did was empty the gearbox. (The photo shows the first drain of my finish mower I got with it, but the same as the 286). What came out was a cream colored oil--obviously water had gotten in. Because there is no drain hole I sucked...

    COVID-19 Stuff

    I hope you are right my friend. Right now I have to admit (reluctantly) I am getting concerned. Hotel parking lots are empty, streets are empty (which I realize is a good thing). Gov. of Al just ordered that basically all businesses that serve the public close or conduct business outside the...

    Gear Oil Spill help

    Okay. I purchased a couple of gallons of 80/90 gear oil and thought I would also get a pump for the gallon jugs. Pumped a empty quart container full to use outside and.. ...long story short the next day when I come home my garage floor was covered in the oil. Apparently the "pump" worked like...

    How do you fill your tank?

    This is exactly why I love OTT. I clicked the link and built it the same night, ordered the shake syphon from amazon. I do not use that much fuel per week but this thing works great. Thanks for the heads up.

    PTO shaft U joint greasing

    Truer words have never been spoken.....but, sometimes I have it hooked up and just don't want to unhook it again. Plus on the back (implement side) I never unhook those and have the same problem.

    PTO shaft U joint greasing

    Okay. Does anyone have a link to a grease fitting that will "easily" get into the 1/2 inch of space they leave us to grease the u joints on a PTO shaft? Or any tips on this? I spent about an hour wrestling with one of mine this weekend and ended up with more grease on the zerk than inside the...

    L4400 price vs. MX5100

    I think that was a blessing. I purchased a 4WD, L4400HST in June with 580 hours and I can tell you it's a great tractor. I'm not an expert, I have used tractors for years but this was my first purchase. I'd work on that price. I purchased the tractor with FEL, Bush Hog finish mower and Bush...

    Grease zerk fitting getting stuck???

    I finally broke down and purchased a 14.1 grease gun to prevent changing the tubes constantly. 319 reviews on Amazon 4.7 stars so I assume folks love it. It pumps great but it keeps getting stuck on the zerk. And I mean stuck! In fact I pulled a zerk off my Jake's lift kit on the cart. Am I...
