It is not worth a picture, but I turned the head of my brand new, like a few weeks old "hard" hand rake (garden rake?) into a pretzel sculpture two days ago. Fortunately the handle is OK.

Thanks DaveEng! It is red and the failure appears to be at the backside of the fusible link between the actual link and the connectors inside the male connector. I don't think the problem is with the female/harness side of the connector.

Whoops, too late to swap to MAXI fuse setup as the fusible link is on order from my brand new Messick's account. I do wish to learn more about that however, so I will pursue it. I sure am feeling guilty right now though. I have been reading the posts concerning TractorGals hydraulics issues...

Thanks for your input Dave. Cable ends and terminal connections are sort of my minor specialty since electronics engineering, electronics option was my major at Southern Polly Tech College a,,,, err, umm,,,few years back. In fact while attending SPTC and interning with Atlanta Scientific; (no...

Sorry drewrogers, but I have to axe; you are _absolutely certain_ that there is not a piece of your driveway concrete (or a rock ETC) wedged between the augar and the frame or some other pinch point? Right? For example, I am currently having a/an electrical issue with my L 5450 and without...

Rob, Dave, Ben, Frank? Clyde?; I just remember that I confused you with someone else once in the (distant) past so I just wanted to make sure I covered all/some of the first names that I could think of. Grin You are not going to believe this but after several hours of sitting at the shop with...

You didn't even _imply_ alien-space-invaders, that one was on me. grin I simply stated that, (for all to ponder) that was the only potential source of a strong magnetic field that I could think of. None of my auto electronics has ever suffered maladies from driving over that spot at the head of...

I'm also glad to hear you succeeded. I will throw in a little tip that might come in handy for someone else. Slide a piece of discarded, or not discarded ratchet strap around a stubborn filter as close to the threaded end as possible, then using a long needle nose pliar or figure something else...

Random: Thanks for your input. You never know where alien-space-invaders are lurking, but it never crossed my mind to look to the heavens/sky to see if anything was amiss! I know of no other possible source for a strong or weak magnetic force, except of course for the strong and weak nuclear forces.

Thanks kubotafreak! That is interesting info regarding the starter not liking to get wet. I will keep that in mind. I can tell you this, I have been down to/at the shop ever since I posted the message this AM looking at fuses, wiring or anything out of sorts as much as possible without...

The novel, soon to be movie coming to a theater near you. Grin Hi boys and girls! Long time no see. Lost my 'pooter two years ago along with most of my log-ins. As they say in the movies, with musical flare, " Heee's Baacckk!" Two days ago and without warning my super reliable little tractor...

How many seasons of use does your mower belt have on it? Usually, if the spring tensioner won't take up the "loose slack" then it is time to replace the belt; either that or some pivot point is binding. Is there any chance the belt has been off the deck and then not threaded around _all_ pulleys...

Thanks for posting this; I bookmarked it immediately. Hopefully a lot of answers to questions I might have. Like for example, I kept a (smart) tender on my AGM Harley last winter, as I always have done, then two weeks ago I went to start it and nothing. When I removed the batt and tried several...

WOW! V E R Y disappointing recount of your experience! Welcome to the forum, even though this is not your first post. I don't know if a call to a regional sales and/or service rep would do any good or not. I would like to think somebody out there on OTT might take an interest and send your post...

Lugnut, your story reminds me; I have only bought 3 Kubotas in my days. My 1 MTR was first, then I bought a L3300 shortly after I bought my current property. I could tell pdq that it just did not have a big enough butt to handle 24 acres of bush hogging so I decided to sell it. I had a friend at...

Welcome to the forum noral1957! There are a lot of guys here with a ton of knowledge about anything Orange! Pay attention and you will be glad you landed here!

Thanks you, and you, and you,,, that was a good thread to read. I use a product that has proven very versatile to clean, lube, restore dry-rot cracks in tires, rejuvenate leather belts and gloves and all sorts of other uses, called Black Magic Tire Wet. I think I will spray it on just for...

Yea; I was sort of afraid of that. It just seems to me that there ought to be _SomethinG_ that would help. How do you guys clean under your deck after each time you use it without going completely nuts in time investment?

Dudes and other I tried something and I just wonder how it is going to work and also if anyone has a better idea. I have a pos Craftsman ZTR that is starting into it's third year of home use and I don't think it is in as good of condition as my 20+ year old Kubota 1MTR. When I got ready to put...

That reminds me of Dakota Johnson in 50 Shades when she was drunk, talking to some guy in the movie and said "you hit the hail on the ned". Some things just stick with you. Also thanks to each of youse guys for help/advice with the nut; I did not get a chance to go there yet but I will. Have a...
