    F18D control

    Never mind. I looked so more. The rotating shaft is a control that sends fluid to another box under it that has a HYD hose coming out the back that is looped back into the same box. This can be used for HYD attachment like maybe a tiller? Thanks anyway.

    F18D control

    Under the seat on the right side is a slot in the sheet metal. There is a M6 stud coming from underneath. This stud is on a bent bar about a half inch wide that connects to a small rotating plate with a M3 shaft going down into an upper part of the rear housing. When I move the stud toward the...

    F18D 4WD won't run

    I'm dumber than a rock. I jacked all wheels off the floor and the 4wd is a short lever just above the left floorboard. Someone replaced the knob with a knob inscribed PTO. In my weak defense, the Murray owners manual for the F/FX models showed the 4wd knob under the right side of the seat where...

    F18D 4WD won't run

    Dairyman The reason I wondered about the front end drive shift being controlled by the hydraulic system in that the control shaft going down into the top of the rear housing is only about 1/4" dia. My thinking was this is only a valve that engages the shaft. When you move the spindle lever in...

    F18D 4WD won't run

    I should have mentioned that the drive shaft to the front wheels does not turn. It is not covered. Part two was the slow 3 point.

    F18D 4WD won't run

    Yes. The dealer thought it was in the middle and below my knees. I sent sent him a copy of the owners manual showing the knob below and to the right side of seat. I also sent a photo of the area he thought was where it was and there is no control there except for the 3 point hitch drop regulator...

    F18D 4WD won't run

    Raised all four wheels. Shifted the small stud that is under the seat into 4WD and the rear wheels spin BUT the front wheels won't. When the tractor arrived a couple of months ago there was a leak at the fitting of the metal hydraulic line to the rear housing. All surfaces had paint and rust. I...

    F18 Charging light

    I just got this F18. I'm confused/dumb about this. I would think it would be on while charging right after starting, if the battery is low. What on a F18 diesel will run the battery down at low idle to make it charge? I converted my old Ford 850 from 6V to 12V and had to rev the engine up to...

    F18 Charging light

    Does the dash charging light (lightning bolt) light up when the alternator is charging the battery? I have sprayed brake cleaner into and wiggled the connectors but I also charged the battery. The light was out the next time I ran the engine. It still does this on occasion. Is this a bad...
