    The Titan Missile System

    Was the only two years because the were shutting down the sites? (Yes, I fully understand THAT. :rolleyes:) A lot can be said about old mechanical works. They not only worked but lasted a long time. After I retired, my boss at the engineering firm I worked for always complained about how the...

    The Titan Missile System

    Nice find Mr. "Pocket Rocket." :D That is where they stuck most of the "retreads." While I worked underground in NORAD and Space Command, I would NEVER want your job.

    It's great! I sure wish that this had been around 6 years ago when I got mt tractor. It would of kept me from reading all the maintenance charts over and over. thanks

    TG1860G deck lift effort?

    On my TG1860G, I always thought that it took to way too much effort to get it up. (I know what some of you are thinking. Shame, Shame on you.:D) On my new Z121S, they have you use your foot to raise the deck for exactly that reason. Because of all the complaints from it weighing too much to do...

    PTO Shaft grease or not to grease?

    I always put the rubber cap on when an implement is not connected. When I go to connect an implement, I will add a little grease if it needs it.

    Rip Off

    Not only what the others have already said, since most water heaters can use different Thermocouples, I hope he had the knowledge to put the correct one on.

    Like 200, I now always put 1/4 oz of Sta-Bil Biocide in each tank full and have never had a problem since.

    L3200 blowing white smoke under load

    A little Biocide in the fuel should help a lot.

    Barn/shop

    Like Skeets said, it doesn't matter how big you build it, it will fill up fast and will always think that it should have been bigger.

    Tractor shed for L3901 - do you have dirt or ccrt floor?

    I park mine in the old horse barn along with my mower and implements. Since one half of the barn was dirt to walk and ride horses, that is where the equipment is now. I took out half of the stables on one side and now use it for my shop.

    Hydraulic fluid amount

    Good point NIW, the only difference I could ever find was if the fluid was hot or cold and even then it wasn't enough to matter. I always had to add more than called for to get it into the window,

    ZD221 Mower deck PTO does not engage.

    You can get a detailed illustration of the parts from either Meesick or Kubota. A Work Shop Manual (WSM) will give instructions on how to adjust it.

    ZD221 Mower deck PTO does not engage.

    Welcome to OTT. The PTO lever may need adjusting. I would start there. When it is warm there is enough play in it to engage, but when cold it won't. If that doesn't correct it, then it is going to be a lot of work.

    Being new doesn't make it perfect.

    Very true. In fact I was in Decatur on Saturday. We stopped and ate at Applebee's and watched the start of the Alabama game. Back when they were trying to get the steel mill going, I did a lot of work at the Worthington Steel plant. Which side of Decatur are you on?

    Being new doesn't make it perfect.

    You are correct about letting others know your experiences. Back 5 years when I bought my tractor, everyone on here was telling me to check everything for tightness and fit as it seemed to be common for things to be loose. They were really pushing for checking the lug-nuts as they seemed to be...

    Z421 Wiring Q

    I have 5 cats that take care of most mice in my barn where I keep my tractor and mower. I also put out some d-con and traps for those few that the cats miss. Thus far I haven't had any problems. Knock on wood.
