Reading through this thread as I'm having clutch trouble also but here's something to ponder - I worked in a machine / welding shop for around 12 years that had a flywheel machine. People brought me flywheels from all sorts of stuff, as I was known as the guy who would fix the things that others...

Thank you for the illustrations and information. The tractor is driving just fine. I have to jump the solenoid at the moment, since the ignition switch gave up the good fight, but this tractor has always fired up instantly with no glow plug usage. Once it's running, it runs and drives...

I learn more about my tractor from every post, yours included. Thank you for helping!

I’ll try to locate the uplift valve and check it. Looking at YouTube videos, if there’s pressure, there’s really only a few components it might be. I’m trying to find out where a hydraulic oil screen filter might be on the tractor, the only one I see is a cartridge filter on the right side of...

I’ll check that. Thank you.

There is no loader or any other accessory on the tractor. I’ll try to find the pump and see if I can figure anything out with it. The power steering seems to be working fine.

Hi gang, My old L3450 has been sitting for a couple of years. The engine had seized after it was left in the weather (open exhaust) while I spent a couple of years away between hospitals and nursing homes. I finally got myself out there and got it going today - turns out the engine was just...

I'm in the middle of a 80,000 plus town i have a unique situation that few people come to our house looking for other addresses but only once every three months. it's rare.

That is a great gift! I had a lot of help from family and friends - trying times show who true friends are for sure. I recently fixed a riding mower for a newly widowed lady in our city that reached out for help on the Neighbors app. She was almost irritated that I wouldn't accept payment...

Due to health and too many surgeries to count over the last few years I haven't been able to mow the back fields. During the time I was in a nursing home a good friend tried to help out by mowing one of the grass fields (6' tall - can't see a thing) and found a deep,muddy drainage ditch. There...

When I was (much) younger I worked at a chicken plant. It was a regular thing during the winter to remove cat parts from the worker's cars - the cats liked to hang around for the chicken bits that were everywhere. Not a fun job at all.

Good looking tractor. Mine turned 30 this year, been together for 11 years and only had to add fuel and change fluids.

I’m servicing the hydraulic system on this tractor and got all new parts for the canister filter including the outer case. There is an o-ring (60) below the magnet (40) and above the grommet (70) in the top of the stainless mesh filter element (50) The issue is the o-ring (60) is smaller than...

Great price! Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I suppose I should revise my post to clarify. I would like to know what needs to be done to bring pedal travel back up and fix the pressure needed to disengage the clutch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
