    Tire Chains

    Yeah, I watched a couple of You Tube videos on making your own. After looking on FB marketplace I found alot of chains but few people list what tire they fit, just length and width, but most are for less than what I would have in material to fabricate my own.

    Tire Chains

    I have a MF 165, the rear tires are not loaded. When I bought it used, the rims were corroded and leaking. I replaced the rims and tires but chose not to load them because I work some muck and thought it might be more of a hindrance than a help. Although on the heavier ground and other tasks I...

    Oil pressure gauge

    Well I ended up buying a copper line kit to make the install. I'm pleasantly surprised with the oil pressure reading if it's accurate. At start up I'm getting 52 pounds and 60 at 1500 rpms. This is with fresh oil, can this be accurate? I bought the tractor used and as long as I have had it the...

    Oil pressure gauge

    Bought an aftermarket gauge to replace the non working gauge on my MF165 diesel. I wanted to replace the original with one that read by pounds of pressure, not low, medium or high like the original. My question is, the new one came with a small diameter plastic line, that looks to be half the...

    MF 165 fuel line connection

    Thanks, that is what I ended up doing. But not without some struggles! First off, the replacement pump came with the line connections oriented at 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock not 11 and 3 for my setup. Called the supplier and they assured me that if I unscrewed the top and repositioned it that it...

    MF 165 fuel line connection

    I recently had to replace the fuel lift pump on my 165 diesel. The only way I could get the lines reattached to the new pump was to attach them before I mounted the replacement pump to the tractor. If I mounted the pump first I just couldn't get the threads to start. I then had to muscle the...

    MF 165 Diesel quit running

    On my last pass while discing for a food plot my MF 165 Diesel just shutdown, no sputter just quit, like I pulled the shutdown. I checked there is fuel in the tank, fuel going to the injector pump and fuel coming out of the pump. Although it is just light spurts, I don't know how strong of a...

    Kohler To Briggs wiring issue

    Well, I was going to check the voltage coming from the stator while running, so I put in a new fuse and before I got it started I noticed smoke coming from under the flywheel. Pulled the fuse and tore it down to get a look at the alternator/stator. And found my error. When I connected the violet...

    Kohler To Briggs wiring issue

    Did not think of that, just might give it a try. Come to think of it, I noticed that while I had it running, if I got off the tractor it would kill the engine. This never happened with the mower before unless you tried to get off while the deck was engaged. Thanks

    Kohler To Briggs wiring issue

    New battery, fully charged. By electric clutch I assume you mean PTO? If so , both mowers are manual PTO. Thanks for the reply.

    Kohler To Briggs wiring issue

    I've swapped a Briggs into my Cub Cadet XT1 which had blown the original Kohler Courage 18hp engine. The Briggs is out of a Craftsman riding mower, it's a 15.5HP Turbo Cool model 28U707. It starts and runs but the fuse at the + battery post is blowing, so will not start again untill the fuse is...

    Engine Swap

    You are correct, my issue was that I couldn't just swap the pipe from the Kohler to the briggs because the flange bolt orientation doesn't match.The pipe and muffler were all one piece on the Briggs, the pipe being welded to the muffler, and the Kohler the pipe just extended into an opening on...
