Sure would be good to know what it is for starters. Also where it originated. It would be disturbing if it was starting to fill the foundation drains. With that run it would be possible to run a camera through it. Since you had to chop it out, I'm doubting that a water jet would work.

Yep, me. Apparently I can't always tell the difference between yellow and white. My loader is not on the tractor unless I'm using it. Otherwise it's in the shed in front of the tractor. The weather today was nice enough to get out and start some fab work and the loader was part of it. I...

If you haven't had a lot of experience operating the hydraulics, maybe it's just a matter of becoming more familiar with them. Try being more gentle with the controls and see if that helps.

ASSUMING the description is accurate (Blade is lower, not that side of the deck is lower). Are both ends of that blade the same distance from the ground? Visualizing that the blade hit something and bent one side down. Less likely is something could have come loose on the top side? Nut...

I think Sue Aikens did that onan episode of Life Below Zero.

Or this?

I have a subsoiler that's been used several times to loosen the ground. My L4240 won't pull it at anything near full depth here. When my parents wanted power to a shed maybe 100' away from their house I rented a walk-behind trencher for 1/2 day at a local hardware store. It made a nice clean...

Since the word PUT is used in lieu of HOLD it may mean that the stick should remain in float position without assistance. Before getting the snow blade on my tractor I used the loader and a rear blade for snow removal. When using the loader I'd float it. It was nice to have the joystick hold...

Congrats. If you're mowing anything over 2 acres you'll be glad for that extra width.

The gauge wheel yoke and blade spindle assembly appear to have the same part numbers for both decks mentioned. I guess when installed on a wider deck they are more robust;)

Why would HP matter when cutting grass? I could see concern if you're bush hogging saplings and scalping dirt. Having a few more horses than needed doesn't mean that they will be applied. I've owned a couple Land Pride decks and wouldn't be afraid of any of them. If you have a considerable...

First thought is to do as Runs With Scissors suggests. IF you are mechanically inclined, patient and lucky you could have a look at the innards. I once had a B7500 that "lost" the float mode. Although it was stored inside water must have gotten into the valve (not into the hydraulic section...

It rained in my part of PA. Even had a flood watch in the county. We were in Costco in Lancaster this afternoon and a downpour came through. Sounded like someone was driving a train on the roof.

I'm no mechanic and certainly not versed on computerized stuff. According to a few things that popped up the serious concern would be the P0605. The other two may possibly be fixed with cleaning them.

One of the many stories about the company I worked for that didn't have "tractor people" working there was when they bought a large light materials bucket for their Montana. Then they tried using it for everything. The tractor wasn't happy.
