Well, I wish I could help more but maybe someone else here can come up with something. I did take apart my valve and clean it out - that is how I know about the escaping ball bearings. It is not an adviseable thing to do. Perhaps you can remove the whole valve assembly and take it to a...

Does it float when you hold the lever all the way forward by hand? Another way to look at it is: will the lever go any further past the simple "lower" position and if it does, does it float when held there? There may be corrosion in the detent valve if it won't hold there. Don't try to take it...

Measure the L x W x H and go to Costco, Walmart, or Sam's Club and get one that size. (Take along your tape measure.) It will start the tractor with no problem. It will cost about half as much or less. Plus, the warranties are very good in case you somehow shake it apart. It most likely won't...

Gee, I wish I had that problem. Kidding aside, more information is needed. It could be the sending unit, the float, the gauge, the relay, the fuse, or anything in between. Check ohmmeter readings between the various components and ground. When the tractor is off does it still read FULL? Is it...

Just posted a reply on your other thread. The battery cable idea is a good one. Ground the negative to the engine block with a jumper cable directly from the battery post to see if that helps. If so, you can ground the battery to the engine block permanently from its usual attachment point on...

Good troubleshooting on the switch. I posted on another thread that my L3650 had starting problems - sometimes fine, other times the key had to be repeatedly turned. Shorting the starter was the same situation. I bought a new starter and ignition switch. No change! The battery ground cable was...

Gravel roads around here are maintained with road graders (scrapers). They are equipped with scrapers that can be set at various angles - but not box scrapers. They do have a long wheel base that helps it act like a field leveler. That would seem to indicate that a scraper that can be set at...

Something is amiss. My M7040 w/LA1153 does not have those characteristics. Not much help on the cause or solution except for you to know that not all M7040s do that.

Time for my story. Same problem on an L3650. But arcing the starter produced the same results - no improvement or difference. It turned out that the battery ground to the frame did not complete the circuit well enough - even with a new cable and cleaned up connectors/connections. Eventually...

Check out Messicks for a picture and photo of the switch. It doesn't seem to have the bezel and threads that other models have for securing the switch. You may have to buy a new one (if that is the plan) to be able to figure out how it is attached. Click on "Panel Switch" and then a photo of...

Another way to say it is to step on the lever when the wheels are slightly spinning. Then the lock lines up. It is not recommended to try it with WOT.

It may be normal. My 88" Gearmore scraper w/ripper bar has a single hydraulic cylinder that moves much slower than the Gearmore Top & Tilt cylinders. The single ram on the ripper bar is smaller and apparently less efficient so moves slower. It probably takes 15 seconds to cycle the bar from up...
