There is a strange wear pattern on the belt. I would indicate the outside to see if it is tapered, if so grind it true or replace it.

My thought is that inventory control has the batteries installed fresh and fully charged. Stores might have them on the shelf for a long time and I have never seen them charging batteries. I just bought a new battery from a local battery store and it took all night to get a full charge plus...

You can find a workshop manual here. You adjust engine speed according to the work being done, you adjust ground speed with your foot.

A diesel takes a full gulp of air each intake stroke, there is no throttle plate. The power is regulated by the amount of fuel injected. Those big gulps of cold air will cool the engine if it is not working hard, my guess is the engine manufacturer chose a rather low temperature thermostat to...

The engine oil filter is made in Indonesia, I didn't check the others. I doubt they are garbage but they are imported for a reason.

I keep everything under roof not because of temperature but to preserve the paint, seals, prevent rust, and perhaps a hundred other reasons. Now if you won't be getting to the tractor for long periods of time take the battery home and keep it charged. If you visit regularly, use a solar...

Did the taxpayers provide rebates for this junk? Did Ford get tax breaks to build this scam? If so, will we taxpayers get our money back? :unsure::whistle::poop:

I got a survey on my new purchase and it was during the time that the dealer had it in for an extended period for warranty work. I paged thru the survey and didn't respond just then, waiting for some satisfaction from the dealer. Well the dealer and customer service were nothing less than a...
