    OEM Ignition Switch for ZD326 Worth the Extra $70+?

    Have you cleaned up the battery - to engine block connection? Sounds like that mower sat out in the weather if you are finding corrosion on contacts etc.

    ZD326 Died; Dump Fuel?

    Get a bottle of this and treat both tanks and top off the fuel. P.S. get on the ground and visually inspect both fuel filters. I would bet they both need to be replaced. Try swapping fuel tank caps from side to side and see if the problem moves to the other tank. I have found that the fuel...

    Removing Old Grips from ZD326 Control Levers?

    Go to a hardware store and purchase these. Blades I use them to replace grips on my golf clubs and they do not scratch or damage the metal shafts.

    Front ballast for L4760 when using Woods TKP84.40 mower

    My 4760 came with front weight bracket built into the grill guard guard. IMO I think you will be okay without front weights, My 7ft bushhog weighs about the same as your finish mower but extends further from back of the tractor. I leave loader on but no bucket installed and I have no problems...

    Overfilled engine oil on BX23

    I would remove oil filter, drain then re-install. Run engine, check oil level, repeat if needed until correct oil level is reached.

    Man lift for tractor

    I have the same basket shown in the GrumpyFarmer photo and my wife loves it. Much better than her in the bucket. If you purchase a basket, pay attention to the listed weight of the basket. Some baskets are 70lbs shipped and others are 130lbs shipped. The 70lb ones are super flimsy. As far as...

    Anyone here have a Kaufman dump trailer?

    I also am contacted on a regular basis by Kaufman. I also own a Kaufman 10' utility trailer purchased in 2016 that is a great trailer. Kaufman also recently opened a trailer service and repair facility in central N.C. to make it easy to purchase parts or get trailers repaired/serviced.
