    Z134 mystery noise

    Are spark plug wires and plugs all okay-especially #4? Could #4 be arcing which is why the noise stops when its pulled?

    TO30 Clutch issue - good news/bad news

    The cotter pin is still in the bell housing and it didn't appear to be plugged either. It has had a drip of oil on it at times but nothing that I considered excessive. I'll keep tabs on it. Thanks for the tip on blocking the pedal!

    TO30 Clutch issue - good news/bad news

    Bad news - Used my TO30 and brush hog a week ago with no issues. Went to use it yesterday and the clutch wouldn"t engage preventing me from putting the tractor into gear. Couldn"t engage the PTO either. Clutch pedal pressure seemed normal. Good news - Today I adjusted the clutch pedal per...

    coolant in the oil - a happy ending

    A few months back I posted that I had coolant getting into the oil on my TO30. Reading the horror stories in regards to cracked blocks I expected the worst but held out hope. After tearing into the engine I found the head and top of the block in great condition - no cracks. No obvious issues...

    Anti freeze in the oil - is my TO30 toast?

    Changed oil at the end of last season. Ran the TO30 a few brief times this winter and noticed milky oil after it was run. Being an optimist I thought maybe it was just cold weather condensation. I found the radiator fluid was also low so I filled it up only to find that it went low again even...

    TO 30 oil flow in filter

    Thanks Ron. Where is the pinhole located? How big is it? I was thinking there had to be some kind of hole on the center tube to allow oil back into the engine but when I reached inside with my fingers I couldn't feel/see any. Thanks for all of the help! Dave

    TO 30 oil flow in filter

    I vaguely remember coming across a pic here which illustrated the flow of oil as it flowed through the filter of a TO 30. In looking at my TO 30 I can't seem to figure out how the filtered oil is returned back into the engine. Anyone know of the pic I am referring to or can anyone help...

    TO30 oil filter

    Fram filters do tend to get knocked on a couple of vehicle forums I belong to however I"ve had no issues with them on any of my vehicles all of which have gone over 100K. For the average user I think oil filters are like asking a guy what his favorite beer is. Ask ten guys, you"ll get 10...

    TO30 oil filter

    Went to Tractor Supply to get an oil filter for the TO30. It listed a Fram C134PL oil filter. Has anyone used this filter?

    dirt blade

    I've got a TO30 and am contemplating getting a 6 ft blade for it. I need to grade the banks of a creek so that I can cross it with the tractor. Is there enough weight in the blade to put downward force for it to dig/level or will it just ride up on top of the dirt? Thanks in advance.
