I’ll bet someone’s farm, not mine, that the radiator fins are not as clean as they appear. Like D2CAT mentioned, spray both sides with, he mentioned Purple Power, I use Simple Green, and let it sit 10 minutes or so. Rinse with low pressure water from the back side first. Rinse the front and...

I agree with NIW. If you spray and immediately cut what you sprayed the weed never has the chance to “ingest” the poison. Without that process the roots never die. They send the nutrients they make back to the part that still exists and the weed continues on.

Are you referring to a bush hog type rotary cutter? The manual for my LandPride mower calls for 80W 90 gear oil in the gearbox.

Mowed half of my front field (~5 acres). I do wildlife management so the forbs (fancy word for what most of you would call weeds) were close to hood high. I had to stop to blow out the radiator fins and when I went to start it, it wouldn’t crank. Sounded like the battery was too weak...

The fluid is straw colored. As the “bubble” at the top of the sight glass in McMXi’s photo indicates the back of the site glass is pure white. if you don’t see the white you’re over full. If you see all white you‘re low. Your goal is to see both. On my L2501, I keep it to where there is a...

I’m going to guess they‘re empty at this point. Lifts, tilts, slides off. He does last minute shifting by hand (if needed) and fills them once loaded on trailer. Pure guess.

I’m in Texas so 90 is a nice Fall day. Forecast can be in low 100 degrees and I’m going out in long sleeves and pants. We have Academy‘s here (outdoor store) that has a clothes line called Magellan. Long sleeve, breathable, spf, quick drying, fishing shirts and pant. Pants have tons of...

What grizbota and evil twin said. Front has the plug you remove and pump until grease oozes from the plug. The back one has no vent, you just pump 2-3 times 4 if you must but that’s it. If you pump and the grease gun becomes hard to pump the zerk may be stopped up. It might need to be...

Welcome aboard! Lots of knowledgeable tractor folk here - not including me. Is your tractor the L2501 or L2502, can’t tell from photo. The LA526 loader is the standard loader on the newer 02 model series but I guess they could have installed one on a 01 model, too. Either way, enjoy and...

This may sound obvious ( no offense meant) but did you open the valve and run for at least 30 seconds per manual? Did you close it all the way afterward?

The back of the sight glass is pure white. If that is what you see it’s low. Any shade of straw (unless dyed) it is fluid. I had the same issue when I first got mine. I didn’t realize how white that eye is. I had my doubts what appeared to be a small bubble at the top actually was one. My...

Thanks Sporto. I intend to run the nut down to just before the bolt end clears it. I should be able to give the nut/bolt pretty good taps like that,

Thanks Lugbolt but as I mentioned I jumped on to a very old thread. Yes, I do want to make sure the shaft length is correct for my setup. However, my question relates to the bolt (#5 in first diagram above). It appears to be stuck on my pto shaft. I’ve put PB Blaster on it and hope it...

I know this is an old thread but it helps to aid in my question. I purchased a barely used LP RGR 1258. Though it was barely used I want to remove the PTO driveline and clean it all up. Make sure its length is correct. And, eventually perform the slip clutch process. The carriage dog bolt (#5...

I have a L2501 HST. This past weekend I mowed for 4.25 hours w/ a 5’ mower. I do wildlife management so the fields grow all year and the grass/weeds are thick and tall (some over hood height). The 10 gallon tank was full when I started and it took exactly 5 gallons to refill. So, a bit...
