    How small is too small?

    Thanks for the feedback. Not sure I will get the offset I need but at least I can experiment. If it fails miserably I’ll ask lil foot for something in trade.:D

    How small is too small?

    I have a L5030HST and a 4' tiller left behind from a much smaller tractor I used to own. Anyone see any issues running this small a tiller slowly with a slip clutch? I am not sure what the rating is as it is old and repainted but I am sure its not rated to 50hp. Other than looking pretty silly...

    Awesome!!! Thanks for the referral. These guys have it. Well say they do anyway. Am waiting to see if they can take some pics so I can confirm. The reviews say they are good but need to verify parts carefully. Hope they send you a thank you coupon. Why did I spend days trying to find this on...

    Help with crankcase/crank identification and supplier

    Hoping someone has a better path than the one I am currently headed down. My crank and case are toast. Not sure how it happened and the dealer says its very rare. Oh well luck is not with me. I had a backyard mechanic split the tractor and pull block apart. Took it to the dealer and then the...

    HST out on L5030 or maybe something simple.

    Delay in reporting back due to advanced case of ignoritum projectus. I am better. Thanks. Despite the previous enthusiasm I tried the next day and nothing. Fast forward to this weekend. Was able to remove the seat and inspection cover. The gear selection fork was out of place. Moved it back in...

    HST out on L5030 or maybe something simple.

    I had a brief moment to run out and take a closer look at the linkage. It tuns all the way to the case. Still no significant resistence. While I was there I started it up and without changing anything she moves. Moves well. Dropped the box and had tire spin on both sides with no slip. Guessing...

    HST out on L5030 or maybe something simple.

    Thank you guys. I guess my first step is to follow the linkage as far as I can and I will report back. If I can not see anything obvious I'll load it up and take it to the dealer. New optimism thanks to your feedback. Really appreciate it. Oh and thanks for not laughing at me. Out loud at least.

    HST out on L5030 or maybe something simple.

    Not going to bore you with the long story up front, read on if your interested. Short story is I have an L5030 HST that does not move (forward or back). The range lever does not have positive lock and actually seems limp. Indicator on dash does change as it is moved though. Not sure if this info...
