    Fender Protection

    Open station MX5100h. I have habit of leaning on the fender and wearing shorts while operating and looking for suggestions on protecting fenders from sweating forearms and calf's rusting paint/metal. After cleaning and touch up, I'm thinking about clear vinyl wrap. Thoughts?

    KX040-5 vs KX057-5

    You'll miss the 6 / 1 if doing any dirt work. Consider renting a KX057 to see if that's what you want. Don't worry about the trailer, get the machine you really want. A 14K trailer is close especially if you carry additional buckets, rippers and brush mowers, you may be due for a trailer upgrade...

    Blade bolt help

    Maybe at some point the bolts and spindles were changed. How did you confirm that the K5651-34370 bolt is right hand thread? Pictures would help.

    Gravel Drive Maintenance

    If the road is crowned and has no ruts, you may want to keep spraying on a regular basis, consider adding a preemergence herbicide to the mix. Also consider a tank sprayer with a boom, either three-point, four-wheeler or ATV. With the tank you can add valves to either hand spray or boom. I use a...

    Utility trailers

    It's nice to have multiple trailers if you have space for them. It's like going to play golf with one club.

    3830 fuel solenoid chatters

    One wire would allow the solenoid to pull in once the safeties are satisfied, the other would stay energized to keep the engine running and of course the other is the ground. If the engine starts, then I'd suspect the seat circuit or the grounding. If you have the wiring diagram for your...

    3830 fuel solenoid chatters

    Do as you feel is best. Make sure to set the brakes. I'd start by hot wiring the solenoid straight off the battery (+) and ground straight back to the battery (-). Be reminded a loose ground can cause what you describe. You could also try jiggling the wire/harness while it's running. Good luck

    How long was it in the creek? How deep? Electric system, diff, trans, CV's, etc. should all be checked

    This was in my hydraulic filter - M7060

    After corrective actions are taken, I'd suggest purchasing all of the drain plugs/ crush washers and JB Weld magnets to them to capture any material that may be in the system. Even though the filter magnets capture most some can still settle out at the lower areas. Periodically you can pull the...

    This was in my hydraulic filter - M7060

    Don't what part it is, are you the first owner, have you changed the fluid/filter before. That part is fairly large to make it through the system without getting hung up. When you pulled the drain plugs did any metal come out (it looks pretty chewed up). Check the parts diagrams to see if you...
