    Snapper front-engine mower hydro tranny advice needed

    Check the bypass lever near the back plate first. My neighbor had this happen on his rider after hitting a bump, the freewheel rod just popped out out of nowhere. If it's engaged, the pump won't build pressure to turn the wheels.

    Neighbor's Dog Pack - Help Please (long, sorry)

    Even though this thread is older and dates back a couple of years, the core issue with negligent owners remains identical across different states, as my family in Kentucky had to deal with a similar incident involving a neighbor's loose animals damaging our fence. We ended up hiring Louisville...

    Please ID this Implement

    That looks like a specialized mounting bracket or a stabilizer plate for a specific piece of equipment. Given the dimensions and the fork thickness, it was likely designed to slide over a frame or a lift arm to provide extra support for a heavy attachment.

    IPTO stuck

    Using Grade 5 bolts instead of shear bolts is a tough lesson to learn. If the PTO is pulsing but not turning, you might be looking at damaged internal splines or a fried IPTO clutch pack. Pulling the top cover is definitely the right next step to see the extent of the damage.

    Aftermarket radiator

    If it is an older aftermarket radiator made of copper or brass, a proper solder job should hold up well. However, if it is a modern aluminum unit, soldering won't work and you'll likely need to replace it. Clean the area thoroughly before you try anything.

    16 year old needing advice

    Since the starter engages when you jump the solenoid, the problem is likely in the low-voltage side of the circuit. Check your neutral safety switch and the wiring going to the ignition button itself. It sounds like the signal just isn't reaching the solenoid.

    FARMALL MD

    That is a great looking project to start on. There is nothing like the feeling of getting an old Farmall back to life. I am looking forward to seeing the photos as you move through the restoration process!

    Generac Guardian standby generator on sale

    Bumping this old thread because I’m looking at the same Generac model now. For those who grabbed it back in '24, how’s the reliability been? I almost pulled the trigger but got paranoid about the gas flow capacity. Had Wolf River Electric swing by to check my panel and setup first—honestly...

    Brush killers

    If you're looking to clear thorny locusts or multiflora rose without wiping out your grass, a 2,4-D and triclopyr mix like Crossbow is usually the standard. For the really stubborn woody stuff or stumps, Tordon RTU is the go-to, but you have to be careful with it near any "keeper" trees because...

    LeRoi/dreser

    yeah those LeRoi 125s were all over the place with engines, a lot did use Allis industrial motors but some had Continental too, from your pics it kinda leans more Continental style with that intake and governor setup, easiest way is to find the block casting numbers or a tag on the engine...

    Help with Oliver 77 Row Crop track install

    that looks like one of those old aftermarket half track kits, not factory Oliver stuff, companies like Elwood or similar made them back then, install is usually pretty brute force, bolt a drive sprocket to the rear hub, mount the bogie frame to the axle housings and frame rails, then tension the...

    What's the preferred method of online payment, nowadays?

    Eh, I think PayPal is kind of bad for this… slow, random holds, and people still delay sending. Checks still happen but man, same story, I waited almost a week once and that was enough for me. I ended up switching things up after I came across NOSH while looking for faster options, used it a...

    Back in the saddle again

    yeah running on water will humble you real quick lol, those injectors trap air like crazy so once it’s in there you’re basically stuck bleeding forever, been there and it’s not fun, but at least now you know the system way better than before and next time you’ll catch it way earlier

    Literature---Le Roi Tractor -Engine Brochure

    that’s actually awesome info, those old brochures and manuals are gold for figuring out how these things were originally set up, especially when you’re chasing weird issues later, even rough scans help a ton, I’d definitely keep digging because little details in those diagrams can save you hours...
