new guy from michigan

Hi guys and gals,

Name is Jason. I'm joining in order to find some info on a used Cub Cadet 1730 that I just acquired from my neighbor. I enjoy golf, classic cars, and time with my family. Good to meet everyone.

Thinking about a 2018 Toro MX5075 ...$2800

Hey all!

I now have an acre+ of lawn to cut at my place and the riding mower that came with the place isn't gettin' it!

I'm wanting a zero turn!

I found one for sale not too far from me. It's a 2018 Toro 50" MX5075. It is supposed to have 40 hours on it as the guy just bought it this past June. He's asking $2800. They are $4000 new.

He started working for a landscaping company and can just use that equipment to do his own lawn now, freeing up the need for the MX5075.

I plan on using it for my home only so no need for something totally commercial. He says he has all the paperwork and I would expect the warranty will be transferable.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello from Canada

I'm a retired farmer who has had, over the years, several JD tractors both large and small. I'm "green" through and through.
However now that I'm retired I am stuck with a small Bolens G244.
Looking forward to talking to other Bolens G244 owners.

Removing the magneto on an L model

How much of a problem is it to remove the magneto on a L model. I need to service the points & the last time I did it, it was pretty difficult to say the least, doing it with the mag installed.

Newbie

Hi everybody, I live at 9200 feet in the Rockies, snow country. I've got a John Deere 318 with a 4 foot JD blower on the front, also a 6000 series Cub Cadet compact tractor with loader. Both of these machines are used to dig us out in the winter.

direction of flow on lgt 145 inline filter

Dumb question but here it goes.

So what I was trying to get at in the title was, what direction is the flow through the lines that connect the inline filter on the trans.

I pulled mine to swap diff's and I now I'm not 100% and I don't want to install it backwards as it flows better in the direction marked on the filter.


Thanks.

GT 235 PTO wont engage

Hi,

I have a John Deere GT235 and the PTO stopped engaging while I was mowing. It stopped working immediately after I had gone in reverse. I thought that it may have something to do with the reverse safety. I replaced the switch and that did not fix the problem. I noticed that the hour meter is not lit anymore and I only see a green ilight on the circuit board under the hood - the red light is not illuminated.

I have a very basic understanding of the PTO system. Hopefully someone can recommend a fix, thanks.

Glad to meetcha!

Hi all,
I'm joining up in hopes of being a sponge of information. I just bought my first tractor, a 1986 Ford 1710 with a loader. It will be used on our also newly acquired 40 acres in Tahoe National Forest. I've only ever done bush hogging on my grandfather's JD model B and summer work with a finish mower on a Ford 1500. So be prepared for some face palm worthy stories and questions to go along with my screen name.

Box Blade for X585 - What Do I Need?!

Good morning all,

I have read up a bunch on here about box blades and 3-point hitches. Still a bit confused what I really need!
Would you all be so kind as to advise on a basic 3-point and box blade? Brands - where to buy! Cost is a factor.

I do not plan any heavy lifting from the 3-point and just basic dirt work from the blade.
Mainly just dirt moving and grading.

I am happy to look at all options that may work!

Thank you very much.
