    Sabotage?!

    My speculation is: That's very minor damage to be vandalism. You would expect that someone who wanted to damage your truck would do something worse.

    new Zero turn mower choices

    Yes, you're right, but only if I hold my foot steady. I have to make an effort and hold my foot in just the right position to go very slow. Somehow I end up going faster. Something I'm doing is making it go faster than I want. It's more work and doesn't work as well for me, for this type of...

    Mower immediately dies

    I have a Craftsman YT3000 mower, it’s been fairly dependable. Now it starts, runs for a second, then shuts off. I describe it that way, because it's actually starting, runs, fires a few times.. This is not the standard problem that a mower won’t start. It does start, but immediately dies. When...

    new Zero turn mower choices

    Is everything hydro now? I bought an older JD 725 front end mower. It has hydro, controlled by foot pedal, but I don't like it! I sometimes mow thicker and taller grass/weeds, so I want to go slow. I prefer a standard riding mower, where I can put it in first and forget about the speed. But my...

    Add air-valve at bottom

    Is this user error/too much load for the tractor? Or do I have a flat tire? This 15 or 20 foot brush cutter is very heavy for my 986, makes it light in the front. Then I turn on a hill, puts too much weight on one tire, Can it make one tire go flat? Pushes the air/liquid out? I can’t get the...

    Add air-valve at bottom

    Can you put air in a tire that has liquid in it, when the valve stem is towards the bottom? I know you’re supposed to put it at the top to add air, but what if you need to add it where it is? IH 986, rear tire, I was turning on a slope, it was leaning too much for me, I got out and looked and...
