Those M9000s look good. Did you paint the open station? Wish I had a cab tractor to match my M9540 open station. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Best thing to to is call Messick's IMO. They will get you the right part, Ebay us hot or miss. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't be afraid to buy either of them. They are essentially the same tractor other than the sheet metal and creature comforts. I have a 9540 and a friends has a 9000. I like my 9540 better because of the comfort and ergonomics. Some 9540 do have emission equipment on them. The model...

M5-091 is just a newer model M8560 IMO. I don't think it's going to be as big of difference as you thing. You would need to jump up to a M6 to see a big difference. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Looking for help securing the ROPs on a L3800 and a M4700 when installing a canopy. The canopy has been on the L3800 for a while and the fasteners keep vibrating loose which allows the canopy to flop. Even when everything is as tight as we can get then it, it still isn't tight enough in my...

If the tractor is pushing in to the pile, the loader it's not going to raise. Same thing if your holding the brake with the bucket in the pile. The loader is trying to raise and push the tractor backwards. The loader raises in an arch motion, not straight up. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

My M9540 doesn’t require clutching. I test drove a M5-111 and it did not require clutching. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve always ordered my pto shafts longer than I needed and then cut them to fit. I would find one with a collapsed length close to the length you measured and cut from there if needed. Could you add a slip clutch behind your current pto shat and it be long enough? Sent from my iPhone using...

I would personally want the clutch a little tighter. The Bush Hog should bog the tractor down before it slips. It’s made to protect the drive line from a sudden impact like a stump of a rock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I might have plumbed mine wrong but it required 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried the penny restriction and it didn’t work for me. It confirmed the penny to the same size as inside of the fitting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It came out cheaper to use 1/2” for me. By the time you adapted all the 1/2” fittings on the cylinder to work with 1/4” hose and then back to 1/2 iso coupler it got expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ken’s Bolt On Hooks has some restriction orifice fitting. Mine has 1/2” hoses and has the restriction orifices to make the top link move at a controllable speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not necessarily. The ignition switch has to hold the fuel stop solenoid open. Doesn’t matter if you have a pull cord on it, if the engine isn’t getting fuel it’s not going to run. It could be the fuel stop solenoid as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friends M9000 did the same thing. It was the ignition switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as it isn’t hardened steel, a reciprocating saw will cut it. I doubt it’s hardened, but if it is you will need a torch or abrasive wheel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You probably didn’t hurt anything but your slip clutch is not adjusted correctly. If you hit a big stump of rock, the weakest part is going to fail. That could be something inside the tractor transmission or the Bush Hog driveline or gear box Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That might be the governments recommendation. I’ve seen light towers with close to 20k hours and still running strong. Granted this was well before the emissions standards we have now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t let it “Screw” into the ground really fast. It will get hung up and will be almost impossible it get it out of the ground. I usually let it down a little at a time instead of putting the lever all the way to the lower position. It will take a few holes but you will get the hang of it...
