Nice!!! Congrats!

Welcome! Big Congrats on a fine tractor!

I wouldn't do that. The mower will float and pivot just fine. You do not want it flopping side to side.

I'll Never go back to the turnbuckle type after using this style!!!

Ah yes, another good reason to take the loader off when mowing. Must be why mine uses so little fuel with the hog on there. :cool:

I believe you have to remove the FEL sub frame on the right side. I'm not doing mine until I feel it Really Needs it...

I don't remember exactly what my does, but it's a lot better than that. Seems like 7-10 hours on 5 gallons with a 5" bush hog and better yet using loader, box blade... But it does take more fuel to spin that HST. ;)

I was trying to do like dfh said, extra fuel storge, but didn't like having to pour from those cans into the No-Spill cans. Gave the old ones to someone I didn't particularly like and bought a couple more No-Spill. Plan to get another couple more soon. :cool:

You're welcome guys! I told ya they were very good cans. :cool:

Same here, the trans fluid in mine was crystal clear & no sparkle. I'll change that at 400 hrs. Don't worry about the front axle. SUDT2 will lube just fine. If/when the seals start to leak, change back to 80/90 and/or replace the seals.

Yeah, the gear model has a 2 stag clutch and a different type of pto engagement. But other than that I don't know...

I didn't change the trans fluid in mine. Filter just had fine metal fuzz on magnet. I will change the front axle soon with 80/90. :cool:

Safety switch or the fuel shut off.

Mine does not do it, but it's a gear drive. Must be a HST thing?

We've been doin a mile long gravel drive (3/4 of it up hill) for 24 years and much prefer a box blade! Most of what we do though is drag gravel back uphill. But I can still get a better finish with the box than I can with a blade. My BIL prefers a regular blade though, so different strokes...

Very Nice! Congrats!

I use a bush hog for that. Makes nice mulch... :cool:

Your HST level is either high or low, hard to see it if the line isn't in the sight glass. Was the engine oil normal at some point, or is this the first time you've checked it? Engine oil with only 10 hrs will be clear.

What tractor? How old? How many hours? Too much oil?

Really? There is no part of a black berry bush that can hurt a tractor tire! :cool:
