Rigged up a fence roll holder for my boom pole so I could unroll it while keeping it vertical. Worked well. Used the swivel on the chain tensioner, an old plow disc and a chain. Talked my daughter into helping secure the fence to the t-posts. She enjoyed it but not near as much as I did...

Well, last night I heard a ruckus while mowing a field and the drive line had come loose and was spinning off to the side. Horrible loud as it banged against everything around the lifts. Got down to check it out and it appears that the large pin that attaches to the ujoint knuckle has broken...

Final Update (I hope). Ordered a new replacement radiator new from All States AG Parts and they had it to me in two days with only $12 shipping. It was the cheapest one I could find. It was $484. It fit great. Much harder to get back in than it was to get out. The blade was about a hundred...

Thanks to all respondents for the information and the encouragement. It wasn't easy but I got it out. Rounded off a large bracket mounting bolt head and had to get it out the hard way. Got a fan blade ordered from eBay a few minutes ago and now researching prices for a new radiator. I'll post...

I was pushing some brush into a pile and apparently there was a small tree trunk (1.5" diameter) still attached to the ground. When I backed up I heard an noise and turned the tractor off immediately. The stick up must have been at just the right angle and got up under the tractor and went into...

Graded, graded, then graded some more. My old Rhino angle blade had been broken so finally decided to have it welded. Had him to weld my FEL bucket corner and my brushhog as well. Welder did a wonderful job and even braced the hog to prevent any further issues with 3 point connection. Supper...

Pushed over a huge tree. Some live limbs up to about 12' then dead up to about 40'. I knew I shouldn't but did anyway. I kept thinking "widow maker" but put tractor in grunt slow mode and slowly pushed til it went over. Thank You Lord. Was able to push it to the edge of the yard to get it out...

Well, maybe not....... Used the tractor several times and it started perfectly. About a month or so later used the tractor an hour or so, tuned it off and when I tried to start it a few minutes later I could only here a click. It has done this several times and is frustrating. Generally I can...

Changed out the starter and that fixed my issue. Hoorah!!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Spent some time cleaning and lubing but no luck. I went ahead and ordered a new starter. Fingers crossed that this does it and I can actually use my tractor when needed. That would be just great. It should arrive in a couple days and hopefully I can get it installed next week after get back from...

In the process of building a house. A few weeks ago used the M9000 to load roof decking onto roof for builder. Was really handy for this and saved renting other equipment. Used it after that to fill in the ditch that contains my water to the house. Very useful. Needed it Saturday but the...

Bought some new rear tires and had someone to come out and install them. Nice to have tread again. Was almost dark but had to get them dirty! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Frank, I'll do just that once I have a little time.

Interesting post, I have an M9000 and a very steep farm. I was looking into wider tires but this may help me (reversing rims) so very interested in this option. Does anyone else have opinions on this reversal thought for front tires?

Spent an hour or so pushing logs, brush, and stumps into a big fire. Also, drug around a 7' angle blade with my M9000. Good times....

Nothing permanent yet on the starter, but I did figure how to manipulate it to make it work. Long glow plug time, slow turns but starts every time. The battery issue is yet unresolved but I have prevented the draining of the charge by pulling out all but the starter fuse. I put the headlight...

thanks guys, especially for the link to the new starter. I will get one ordered, i just needed a push in the right direction. thanks again.

I have recently purchased a 2004 M9000 tractor. i love it but if i let it sit for a week or two without running, it sometimes will not start. i talked to the previous owner and he says it has been that way for a long time. He tried a new battery to no avail and i did also. it had served in a...
