New, old member here. I changed my ISP several years ago and had used the free email of my previous provider. I mostly lurked, and since my MX5100 was new, I think most of my posts were questioning Rim Guard or Calcium for tire ballast.
Anyway, I have my first problem since the 2012 purchase. This is a geared model, not hydro. I was free rolling back, with the clutch fully depressed when I heard a moderately loud "pop." (While it's no where near "best practice," there is a reason for this me doing this. And I have done it for years).
Now, the tractor will only move in low range and without any kind of load or other resistance. I have it in the shop getting ready to crack it open, but was wondering if anyone could provide insight to what may have happened. I am a "professional amature" when it comes to this stuff so any tips or tricks are welcome.
I've read a couple threads here and will cobble up some adjustable rolling stands for the front since the loader is off and the axle sound like it's prone to tipping. They be sitting on machine dollys (think lathe and machine center), so the front end can be easily moved and repositioned on re-assembly.
Thanks is advance!
