    MF 261 fuse box

    I have a MF 261 that the fuel and temperature gauges work intermittently. I have determined that the problem is with the fuse box/fuse. The fuse doesn't blow, it just doesn't seem to keep good contact. I would like to just replace the box with a modern blade style. However, most of the...

    Possible purchase Massey 231

    I have a MF 261 which I've had for about 15 years. It's been a very good tractor. Use it mainly for haying and brush hogging.

    Which of these is the better choice?

    I've had a Kioti DK40SE for about 10 years. It's been the best tractor I've owned. I also had a small Bobcat tractor but I don't remember the model. It was around 20 HP and I wanted something bigger so traded for the Kioti. As has been mentioned Kioti and Bobcat tractors are pretty much the same.

    Why i hate cheap gease

    When I put a new grease cartridge in I don't tighten the canister tube all the way at first. I pump it until grease starts coming out and then tighten. That should get the air out of it.

    Bush Hog mower question

    i had to replace the stump jumper on my SQ840 a couple of years ago. I didn't use any thread lock on it but I did re-tighten the castle nut a few times after using an hour or two. The dealer I bought the part from recommended doing this due to the tapered spline shaft.

    Software to back up a smart phone to a computer

    I recently upgraded Android phones and used Synchronoss Mobile Content Transfer. It didn't back up to a computer but transferred directly between the old and new phone. It worked quite well for me.

    231

    I have a model 261 (1998 I believe) which is very similar only more horsepower. I've been very pleased with it and have had very few problems.

    water everywhere

    Same here, we've missed several of the rains that have hit northwest Missouri and south. I've still been reluctant to start mowing hay yet though since they seem to have rain in the forecast nearly every day. By the way Old, do you go to the Jacob's Cave swap meet ever? I was there yesterday...

    Koiti utv reviews

    I have a standard cab Kioti Mechron and it has been a very good unit for me. I've had it about 5 years and it has about 330 hrs on it. Only issue I've had other than routine maintenance was replacing the fuel filter unit after it started leaking. As someone else stated they are noisy and...

    Kioti vs kubota tractors

    I have a Kioti 40hp tractor and a Kioti Mechron UTV. Both have been very good machines. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again if I ever needed to.

    Massey 492

    I have a 491 and there is a hydraulic diverter valve which will prevent the lift arms from raising or lowering. It diverts flow to the rear remotes. It has a knob that you push/pull to change the flow. You may be aware of this but I thought I should mention it just in case.
