Hi, Tim from south central FL. Recently bought an older 8163-B and need to learn A LOT about it.
PO did a" paint over restore" so spec no.s, model no.s, serial no.s are long gone. Starts and runs good, but having to sort out some ingenious modifications. Thanks,

420 gt What is the width of front and rear tires

Does any one know the width of the tires on the front and the rear on the 420 garden tractor?

Wtb lower bagger chute

Looking for just the lower bagger chute that fits a dty4000 with a 54" deck three bin system.

More LT150 issues

Since this is a new issue I figured it made sense to start a new post.

Originally the tractor would run weak and die after running for 10 to20 minutes. Sprayed cleaner in the carb, verified gas cap wasn't the issue, checked air filter. Last step I did was change the coil. After the coil it sounded like the motor had a rattle to it. It started to smoke white smoke. After about 5 minutes the smoke gets thick and the motor dies.
Notice black oil dripping by the exhaust and seem to smell gas on the dipstick.

Took the bowl off the carb and there was black flakes in it. Sprayed more clearner, same problem.

Getting worried!!

Troy Bilt Horse Tiller (MA)

I have a 1970s TB Horse, needs a new home.

It ran great until the engine quit. At that time, I took everything apart to replace seals in the tranny.

I have the original Tecumseh HH60 (I believe it has a broken rod), which has a newer carb. It's an electric start model.

As you can see, I never got it all back together. I also have an unused Greyhound replacement engine, currently installed on the engine mount.

$300 for everything, willing to separate the engine(s) or bumper. Will deliver within an hour of Worcester, Boston or Providence.

Thinking of SCUT BX23S vs 1025R

I keep hearing that Kubota is better for various reasons like heavier duty axles, all metal, smoother hydraulics, more torque, less money. But comparing the two, the John Deere looks better to me. Looking at the Kubota comparison paper, the John Deere seems to beat the Kubota on their own spec comparison sheet. So, why should I go Kubota over John Deere with these two models?

I'm not trying to stir up anything or being a smart$$. Just trying to get the most for my money and the best product and interesting in others opinions.

2018 John Deere 1025r and Kubota BX23S Comparison:

Kubota BX23S:
Better smoother hydraulic loader control
Better hydraulic loader disconnect
Better hookup for backhoe
Fully made by Kubota, Engine, etc.
Heavier duty axles
1630 vs 1349
2120 vs 1576
Bigger gas tank
All metal
Hood opens sides along with top
Heavier at 2689 vs 2208 (excludes loader frame, so may be closer?)
Hoe Digging Depth 6'5" vs 6'2"
Radiator in back of engine compartment instead of front
Loader universal Quick Attach
Easier storage, smaller length an width

John Deere 1025R:
Slight better engine HP 23.9 (JD Brochure says 24.2) vs 23
PTO 18 vs 17.7
Slight better engine torque 40.7 vs 40
More comfortable in seating area/More room
Feels bigger and more stable
More lighting
Loader bucket level standard
Toolbox
Drive Over Auto Connect Mid Mower Deck
Hoe Stabilizer upright brackets
Better lift capacity with loader 754 vs 739 and 613 w/QA
Better loader breakout capacity
1823 vs 1407 and 1286 w/QA
1320 vs 987 and 901 w/QA
Better hoe swing arc 150 vs 140
Better Hoe Bucket digging force 2036 vs 1936
Better Dipperstick digging force 1187 vs 1171
So far the JD has been cheaper. $22,260 vs $22,900

How to adjust Traction Levers on CRZ48?

Hi I have a BobCat CRZ48 (obviously from header) and found how to adjust the height of the levers but mine need to be adjusted in how they are positioned when brought together/the distance between the butt ends. They now touch each other and sometimes get in each others way. Is there a way to spread them out a little when closed? I hope this makes sense!
