    Visible O-ring on hydraulic cylinder

    Both of the hydraulic cylinders for the bucket tilt on my LA402 were leaking. I removed them both and took them to my dealer for him to rebuild. When I picked them up, they were in the fully compressed position. When I went to install them I had to extend them out a bit and when I did one of the...

    RTV-900 Stop Solenoid Woes

    This past winter I had an issue with my RTV-900 where it would not turn off. It didn’t take too long to determine the stop solenoid (aka – fuel shutoff solenoid) had gone bad. It was an easy swap out and all was good until a month ago when the new stop solenoid died in the same manner; meaning...

    8' landscape rake on a 30 HP tractor?

    I have a 200' x 100' field that I want to level perfectly flat. It's already close to flat, but I want it even flatter. I have B2910 HST and a 5' box blade. I want to buy a landscape rake with the thinking that I can get the larger mounds and holes with the box blade and then smooth things out...

    RTV-900 doesn’t start (usually)

    I have a 2004 RTV-900 with a 3-cylinder diesel. When I went to use it today it would not start. The starter spun just fine and the motor turned over, but it wouldn’t start. This happened each of several attempts I made at starting it. My first guess was that it’s a fuel issue since the starter...

    Damage from over-sized RFM?

    In late 2015 my wife and I bought a home that came with a 2004 B2910HSD and a Caroni TC910 five blade 91 inch finish mower. The previous home owner had been using this combo to mow the 5 acre pasture at the back of the property for 11 years before we bought the place and I continued to do the...

    How to install horse mat snow edge?

    We rarely get enough snow here in central NC that I would need to use the FEL to plow the driveway, but it does happen occasionally. For that reason, I’ve been researching inexpensive ideas for a snow edge on the bucket so I can protect the driveway some. It sounds like the two most popular...

    3PT mower wheels float, why?

    I have a Caroni TC910 3PT finish mower. It’s been a great mower, but I’ve always been curious about the design of the wheels. They are connected to vertical shafts that hang on the mower deck and they float freely (see pic). There is never any weight on the wheels unless the hitch is all the way...

    PTO moves at high rpm when disengaged

    Hi everyone. First time poster. I have a B2910 (about 470 hrs) with a front-end loader and a Caroni 91” finish mower. I bought these used, as a set, almost a year and a half ago and it’s my first tractor. This past weekend I was moving a pile of dirt with the front-end loader while the mower was...
