That looks like the part. I'll put a tape measure on them, but wanted to verify the exact size because I don't want to spend huge bucks on a full set of large sockets just to get the one right size I need. Maybe I won't need the socket. From the other posts, it sounds like I might still have...

I was bush hogging with my 48 inch Land Pride cutter, and backed into an old mattress spring. It tangled itself up real nice in the blades, but I was able to pull and cut it out. But now my blades are out of kilter and I get a bad vibration if I try to engage the cutter. I never had occasion to...

Interesting to see temperatures and perspectives around the nation, and around the globe. Here in northern Georgia USA it's yucky hot and humid, but honestly, it's the mildest summer I can remember. Normally, it would be at least mid-to-upper 90's all of July, and it usually hits 100 at least...

And the winner is...ToolJunkie. You were correct that it was the air chuck. I bought a new one and was able to fill the tire with no trouble. I have no idea why the old chuck didn't work since it worked on other tires I tried. As for the valve stems I have, I don't know why they're called...

I'm not where I can get a picture right now, but here's a link to something that looks exactly like what I have...

You need to provide more info to get some help: What was the original problem with the tractor dying? What are the current symptoms? Does it turn over and not start, or just do nothing when you turn the key? I assume since you've run the tractor before that you're re-heating the fuel, but did...

I can't get an air chuck on the valve stem of my rear tires to put air in them. They have an oddball stem that my research shows to be a special valve used for air/liquid fill. The valve has a "screwdriver" cap on it, but underneath that it appears to be a regular Schraeder (sp?) valve fitting...

That's pretty good advice. Dealer rates are pretty outrageous.

I appreciate the input, but this is still over my head. I guess I may have to get the dealer to hook them up. I don't know what connections to put on the battery, or how to hook up a relay or anything like that.

I bought a pair of LED floods and mounted them to my ROPS on my B2710. Now I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to hook them into the electrical system. I don't see any auxiliary connectors under the fenders like I've seen pictures of on other tractors. What's the easiest way to hook up...

Does anyone make underside armor or shielding for a B2710? I was helping a friend take out some bamboo and somehow I cracked a hydraulic line. I'd like to prevent damage to delicate underside parts in the future.

Has anyone had a Piranha bar long enough to see how well they hold up over time? I'm especially concerned with sharpness. I'm really interested in this bar, but worried it will dull down after lots of use. Since you can't replace the teeth, can you sharpen them? If so, how many times before you...

Just to throw in some regional info, I've seen a couple of one-man-shop guys advertise on craigslist near Atlanta to do all sorts of tractor work for $50 per hour. I plan to use that rate when/if I jump on the bandwagon, but I'll be doing it to subsidize the cost of my toy - not to make a...

I'm a tractor newbie, but my Z-turn has an HST and the manual says to let the engine idle a bit in cold weather before putting it in gear. I would think that would apply, to some degree, with an HST tractor. I've also read that the colder it gets, the longer the diesel engine needs to idle up to...

Thanks for the info. I'll lock from farther away and try again. I really don't think the tires are filled. That's on my to-do list, but still learning my way around the tractor for now. I sure would like to get a backhoe for digging, but used ones for this model are practically non-existent...
