Other than using the rear diff lock (if you didn't) then you probably did all you could do. Once the Tractor is down on the frame or FEL cross member, its pretty much game over.

Good solution (generally). I have a sloped drive leading to my shop... and from time to time gravel/dirt wash downhill. That requires I use a box blade or grader blade to drag some of it back uphill. Probably be the same scenario for the OP from time to time. Tire selection might be the...

^^^^^ Yep. Makes a big difference. I would ask also what kind of sand? 'Coarse' sand might be OK. Where I live (Deep East Texas) we have areas of what the locals call 'Sugar Sand' (very fine, white, sand). Unless it is wet.....you aren't going to go across it (let alone work it) without...

Its a pretty simple carburetor on those units. IF the main jet and needle are clean, pop the top off of the fuel shut off lever and you'll probably find the rubber seal there is torn. Ethanol eats them up. It can partially block the flow of fuel to the carb. Easiest fix for that is to just...

Does the engine have a Low Oil Shut Down switch? Had to replace that on mine when it I could not find a 'fuel' related reason for it shutting down intermittently. Just something to look at. My impression from what you've described (and tried) is that your issue is indeed fuel related. As...

Sounds like the pressure plate height to me. IF you have the old one, measure it and compare to the new one. Lay it on a flat surface (fingers down), place a flat object across the pressure plate surface and measure. See if there is a disparity in the two heights (old unit vs. new). Your PTO...

^^^^^ No, you are not missing anything. That much slop in the fitment is No Bueno Por Caca...!

Need a LOT more info. What type of implement? Could be very dangerous depending on what you are 'testing'.

Agreed. Good point. I have areas of property that have fairly steep hills. Some I can not safely mow across going on the side-hill. So by necessity, up and down. Going UP hill definitely taxes the available power my tractor produces. It will do it....but the governor kicks in pretty hard...

Depends on the type of grass you plan to mow, how high you let it get and your intended ground speed. But with approximately 46 PTO horsepower, your tractor should handle 10'-12' finish mower easily enough.

Before looking at wheel spacers (my last choice) for you rear wheels, look to see if your tractor has off-set 'tabs' on the rims. IF it does then simply swapping the wheels side to side can gain you 8"-10" of width which adds tremendously to stability on hills and off camber situations. For...

No, IF the PTO shaft was/is the proper length...or was 'cut' to fit properly...there should be plenty of overlap in the PTO shaft to increase (or decrease) in length enough to accommodate the difference. If in doubt, remove the PTO shaft and separate the two halves. You will quickly see the...

We believed you from the start. And yes, you read it correctly. Smart of you to check though.

I'd say it depends largely on the amount of area you want to cut, what type of grass and how tall you plan to let it get, as to choosing between a finish mower and a Zero Turn. I use a 6' finish mower behind my L2350 (similar PTO hp) to maintain some areas of pasture land that I like to keep...

OEM oil filter? (Correct filter and capacity)? The reason I ask....is because if an aftermarket Oil Filter is used, it can have a slightly different capacity owing to physical size and the filter media (number of pleats and construction can retain more oil). In any case...on all my equipment I...

I was thinking the same thing. IF the PTO lever is engaged the PTO would engage and spin once the clutch pedal was released about 1/2 way (regardless the range or gear selected). So that is to be expected. However, IF the transmission were in neutral OR the 'Range Selector' between ranges, the...

I have chains stored in the round tube of the FEL. They completely fill the available space (one side to the other). You can't push all that chain into that space by hand. So the 'chain hook' allows me push (or pull it). I didn't want a 'chain bucket' on my compact tractor.

I'll have to introduce you to my Brother in Law (the electrician). :LOL:

^^^^^ It absolutely would work! First thing that came to my mind as well. They can be fender mounted also (or other places). I use them hold a chain hook on my tractor.

^^^^^ The oil pump gear on my Land Cruiser is a similar arrangement. It does NOT utilize an interference fit (though a very close fit). It is dependent upon pressure from the crank pulley bolt torque (304 lb. ft in my case) to pull the crank pulley against the gear to prevent it from spinning...
