We are assuming this is one a M6040?

Overfilled can be worse than underfilled! Over full is BAD simply because the moving parts will whip the oil - and place a zillion air bubbles in it! And we all know air is not a good lubricate! Get under and pull plug and remove a good bit - more than you need, tighten plug and if you wish -...

In NIW post the "nut" marked 140 is the problem - It backs off and causes slop in the movement. Hard to get to - remove right rear tire to get a better look at it.

Not a "gas" pedal ....it is a hydraulic fluid pedal - changing the flow of fluid flow. As sawdust mentioned - there is grease zerk to be greased. What type of fluid did you replace with?

As all of us have mentioned - take all cables off, clean with light sanding, bright. Then place back on and snug tight. SEE IF this makes any difference.

Not to jump to a crazy conclusion - but a fully charged battery can only be called a fully charged if you do a load test on it. I cannot begin to tell you how many batteries I have had that showed 12.6 but could not provide the amps to start.

How about M80's is a sealed metal trashcan with your buddy sittin' on the top?????

Actually the 48 was the ONLY MMM offered .......... unless you are cutting whisps of grass ....... I would not shoehorn a big deck under the ol gal

Look at MAX on tires and then place enough to have a "bounce" but NOT at max pressure....... unless you are carrying a hellva load. Most of the time - the fronts should be around 12 to 15 ish ........... rears about 16 ish. Now - you plan on doing a lot of FEL work? Bump up the fronts a bit.

let see if we can clear up a bit of "oil" thoughts. Diesels burn and thus give off a good amount of "soot" - the soots are simple carbon particles of not 100% burned fuel. These particles can add up and actually become somewhat "large" in a microscopic level. The diesel oil has additives that...

So you said " The throttle increases the RPMs just fine. " thus the engine is getting fuel! If it runs up the rpms range to WOT then the problem is not a fuel problem - it is a switch problem. Different tractor but same problem - in my BX25D when I bought it - I would slide forward in the...

Check you seat switch - I bet it thinks you are not in the seat and any movement will kill the engine.

It would be a bit easier to place the hitch on the front end loader. You can see what you are doing and you will be pushing the trailer where you need to go rather than pulling. here is an example ...

Martin, this will hurt your brain - the 60" will actually turn a tighter radius. Let me explain = lets say the BX can turn a 7.5 foot radius ...... which is spot on. SINCE you have 3 more inches on the 60 inch on the inside turn - it will actually cut a tighter than the 54" Now the shorter...
