    Update 10

    In side of the Transmission. The serial number plate. Who can tell me what this is? My assistant thought that she better check on things and pulled out the service manual

    Hardly a Break

    We hardly get a break between storms lately it seems. I spent a good part of Sunday and Monday clearing hard packed snow drifts from my yard and half mile driveway. Drifts so hard the tractor would ride up on them and I had to use the bucket on the 2140 and blade on the 2090 to break it up...

    300 u carburetor needle valve

    Thanks for your reply... anything is possible with a 60 year old tractor... I know there was nothing like that in there when I took it apart, but I also know the needle valve screw needs to be longer than what I had. I will look into that, but in the meantime, I think the part I filed will...

    300 u carburetor needle valve

    I bought a 300 u about 12 years ago... I used it to plow snow and occasional jobs around the house .. Yesterday I was installing a carburetor rebuild kit and the needle valve screw for the main jet wasn't right at all. That ended up with me deciding that the needle valve screw that was...

    300u hard to shift gears

    My 300u is hard to shift gears, as if I was trying to do it without pushing in the clutch... the other day I backed up a hill, and had a heck of a time shifting it out of reverse. any suggestions? thank you

    tractormeter replacement

    thanks to everyone who replied. I think I'm going to be able to fix this thing by making a small coupling to re-connect the broken shaft... we'll see. But another interesting ( to me anyway ) twist has come up ... The term "proof meter " has come up, and I have discovered in working on...

    tractormeter replacement

    I have had a 300 u for about 5-6 years... the tachometer never worked from when I bought it... I just assumed from stuff I had seen that the cable was broke... well, I tore into it the other day and the cable is not broke... I decided that the tach didn't work anyway, so I might as well tear it...

    how to connect governor throttle control to carburetor 300U

    That is an interesting thought... thanks for posting that... if the loader was off my tractor, things would be easier, but I do think it's weird that the carb and bolts are that hard to get at.

    how to connect governor throttle control to carburetor 300U

    Well, sir I had already installed a solenoid. I did not mention that, because I thought it would just add confusion. It is possible (probable?) that the solenoid is the problem with it shutting off... It ran so long that I thought,"well maybe the solenoid just doesn't let it get quite...

    how to connect governor throttle control to carburetor 300U

    Well maybe while I'm here, I'll tell you what's been going on. The reason I had the carb off was that it has twice flooded and leaked gas on the floor, and 3 times shut off while running as if it doesn't get gas. The one time I took it off, there was no fuel in the bowl. I feel sure it...

    how to connect governor throttle control to carburetor 300U

    well, at least I musta explained it well enough... I had the carb off three or four times and it seemed I got it back together right every time but the last... I kinda put the governor in there as I put the carb on the studs, bit this last time I musta missed... and it is such a bugger to get...

    how to connect governor throttle control to carburetor 300U

    How in the heck are you supposed to connect the governor / throttle control to the shaft on the carburetor butterfly on a 300 U? It has a little "cam" sort of a thing on the end of the butterfly shaft and the governor has a key that is supposed to fit in that "cam". You can't see in...
