    Exhaust manifold

    Welcome to the ott. For what it’s worth at this point. I think you are asking for a lot from a group of very knowledgeable people but I don’t think there are many if any that have tried to turn a garden tractor into a mini dozer let alone turbo the tractor. I mean no disrespect, maybe hang out a...

    Front tires go flat

    I was thinking the same thing, looks like his location is far enough off the gulf to worry about salt from the gulf. I have the L series before his 01 series and have had no issues. He looks to be about 200 miles east of me.

    glow plugs L3450

    Does your ignition switch turn to the left? That’s the way mine is. Turn the key to the left for a few seconds then turn to the right to crank as normal.

    Not familiar with b series but might need measurements to top of the Rops too unless you fold it down everytime you park it.

    Glow plug wires/removal question

    Glow plugs aren’t really a maintenance item. There is no set time to replace them. Do they go bad? Yes. But there is no set time that they should be replaced just because. I speak from the automotive side but I’m sure the tractor side is no different. I have 219 k miles and roughly 5800 hrs (not...

    We had a tornado about a month ago go thru town and got our dealership in its path. Had a few power poles go over but not broke. They came in and straighten them and poured in the foam reinforcement.

    M8950dt wont start

    Re: M8950dt won t start First thing is stop spraying ether in it. You will have bigger issues. Sounds like the fuel tank isn’t venting.

    Fuel consumption

    I work with a guy that has a new 2501 and seems to think his too burns more fuel then it should too. I got the previous model to the 01 series and really don’t think it burns that much compared to the work it’s doing, I’ve never really checked the usage to hours,just put fuel in it when it needs...

    What isn’t WiFi or Bluetooth these days

    That’s funny, my grandma that is 97 has been on a computer for a good while now, at least 10 years or so. She has Facebook and I don’t lol. And if she gets up in the morning and her Internet ain’t working you can bet my dad is getting a phone call to come fix it.

    What isn’t WiFi or Bluetooth these days

    I don’t intend on hooking it up to WiFi,I didn’t even buy the extra module to connect it. I was just thinking the same thing as you guys, does the water heater really need WiFi lol. I only bought it because it was the only rheem professional series they had in stock in the size I needed.

    So I ran into a mouse issue the past week,to make a long story short I finally figured out where they getting into the house at and I need to pull my water heater out to seal off where they are getting in. The water heater is 10 years old so I figured if I got to take it out I might as well put...

    What is the proper way to adjust a rotary cutter

    Did the dealer set yours up as it looks in your avatar picture? Looks like the back is way high. When I have my bush hog on and lifted all the way up the back sits lower then the front. I found doing it like that makes it follow the ground better over uneven ground. Maybe I’m doing it wrong...

    What is the proper way to adjust a rotary cutter

    The three point control should control your front height. I’m not sure how the 1/4 inching control the bx series has work, but on mine with position control I set the stopper for the 3 pt to where I ant the front to ride, then I set the top link longer to keep the back down when going over...
