    PTO shaft turns when PTO is off

    Quite a few ptos turn when not engaged. My little tractor spins. If i put a block of wood againt shaft, it stops quite easily. It wont drive anything. So you had an implement connected and it was moving?

    L245 Power Issue?

    I should have mentioned, i run it in low pto, as mine is a 4 speed pto. It powers out in anything else.

    L245 Power Issue?

    That machine is running 22 hp at the pto. From what i gathered it has a two speed pto, 540/1000. I wouldnt expect it to be a powerhouse on the brush mower, but should turn it. I would make sure its on the correct pto speed setting, a540 pto mower isnt intended to run at 1000 and vise versa...

    L1501 injection pump question

    Well, after a couple hours mowing and happy with the performance, i have reconsidered tweaking injector pump.especially looking in the fuel tank. Down about two inches. Shocking how little fuel it uses. Maybe a little twist yet, just to see if it doesent bog as much in heavy stuff.

    Replace 30 yr old Bush Hog or keep draggin?

    My new to me 60" finish mower needs a set of blades- which i found. Cheap So for 30+ year old mower it works fine. My six foot bush mower is still good. Want a shiny mower- paint it. I did, looks way better too. The old finish mower is getting a coat of orange this winter.

    Just bought a L175, got scammed

    What about building a bracket to tie the two mounts together? Upper mount can help support lower one. When it quits raining im going to look at my machine to see if it has similar setup.

    L1501 injection pump question

    Im going to take a look at it this weekend, give it a little and see what happens. I was mowing last night and i was in some heavy grass, didnt stall but made it snort some.mower is 60" three blade. And i was cutting just above the roots. Would like to go a little faster without revving wide open.

    Just bought a L175, got scammed

    I bought my L1501, same machine (grey market) for 2500. No attachments. Box scraper worth 300? Considering it needs work i think you did ok. Even spending money to replace housing. My biggest problem is parts arent the easiest to come by around here. But most of the stuff i own is/are orphans.

    please help t1400

    So this is a gas engine? Seems like dirt in carb, possibly flooding. Best pull spark plug and see condition of it. Good indicator of fuel mixture. Im rereading first post. Plug was white=lean Dont want to run it like this for too long. Carb needs cleaning/adjusting.

    L1501 injection pump question

    Goodevenening eveyone. Dumb question and im expecting i will get smacked for even asking L1501 is rated at 15 hp. I understand the L185 is 18 hp and both use the z751 engine Just the injection pump is turned up. Do i face a boatload of problems by adjusting pump or just keep my hands in my...

    Accepted practice for filling tires

    A gallon of antifreeze should do it. Up here -5 celcius is where the problems begin, cracking pressure pumps and stuff.so even a weak will help, and the corrosion inhibitors will certainly help. I dont have filling advice, as i dont have the need to fill tires with fluid

    Another dumb question?

    Its kind of frustrating to see someone fight with them, hitting with hammers and so on. Give it a good tug and it should release. Pressure relieved with engine off.

    BX Bucket Klang

    I just replaced all the pivots on loader/bucket. The clang isnt as bad now. All i can say is regular greasing with good quality greasing will give pins much longer life. They were done at 2700 hours. Then operator ran it for three weeks without greasing- i wasnt happy.

    Newly rigged sprayer..McGiver style

    Brilliant!! Wish i had thought of that. Sprayer is waiting to get reworked.now i know what needs to be done. I mounted my boom on clips used to hang up brooms, if i get close to anything it pops off rather than breaking anything. Works great.
