    Massy rerguson lgt's

    Steve, I know, what a tight schedule. From what I recall in my younger days, Badger Northland was a subsidiary of Massey, does that sound right? Badger always had the green equipment, made in Kaukauna, WI near Appleton. We had some of their self unloading wagons on the farm, they were heavy...

    High Activity in this Thread Now!

    I simply want to express my appreciation to all that have made this CCC/MTD thread grow and prosper. There was a time when it was a "forgotten place" and hardly utilized. Lately it has taken off with great enthusiasm. The many contributors have added so much wisdom, Steve and Matt among the...

    2005 GT3100 any good?

    Mark, I don't have an answer for you on this model, but I am sure that someone will shortly; hang in there. The only thing I know is that the first models had an aluminum cased transaxle, while the later design was cast iron. It was considered more robust for hard drawbar work, but both have...

    Gleason tractor

    Not sure if you actually have a "Gilson" tractor? These were made for many years in Plymouth, WI, as Gilson, later Lawn-Boy and also Ford tractors. Eventually Toro bought Lawn-Boy, which had owned Gilson. Parts are available for them yet. As far as the engine goes, could be a stuck intake...

    Interesting (maybe to only me) sidenote about the MF garden tractor line. During a factory strike at the garden tractor plant and others, MF used a smart tactic to end the strike. They have the Ariens* company assemble 20 tractors painted MF colors and with actual MF decals. These were shipped...

    Installing a different engine

    If you Google "garden tractor repower" several companies off kits, which include everything you need. "Jim's"* is the specialist for Briggs upgrades, he offers the drop in stuff you want. * not affiliated*

    1864 gets some upgrades

    Very nice work Joe! Taking pride in a job well-done is what it's all about. I miss my 1864, it was a truly great tractor. To those inquiring, most automotive shops have copper tubing (1/8") for plumbing those oil pressure gauges, if you don't trust the plastic lines. I bet it won't be...

    What do I got, And how good is it ?

    Interesting side note on the 364. It began as an IH design, and later was absorbed into the CCC family. I like the pto drive arrangement better then the 450-451 style, as well as the full length frame design. Those were IH's input for sure

    What do I got, And how good is it ?

    What Matt says is true, the replacement clutch disc is not a solid fiber disc, but instead is a thin steel disc with a bonded lining on each side. This simply replaced the older "all fiber" disc as it is more durable. Mat, re: throwout bearing, I agree with your assessment of wear in a usual...

    1861 fuel question, pump??

    It uses crankcase vacuum , the hose that fits on the center position goes to a fitting on the block For reference, it is in the 6:30 position Several factors affect vacuum, such as a loose filler cap, engine wear and even overfilled crankcase Dave. Now, you can use another pump or simply...

    1512D Spiral pin on driveshaft keeps fallling out. What should I do?

    In our much higher HP pullers, we use 1/4-20 bolts and locknuts, grade 8 of course. These are very reliable so in your app you should have no problem. Just don't crank down on the bolt, snug it securely and don't overtorque it. Another fix, using the spirol pin, is to "safety wire" it in...

    What do I got, And how good is it ?

    I am confused as well, in my years of dealing with all manner of 582 and similar 1606 models, I never saw or even heard of a double disk clutch. Something tells me it may be a customer design. Some pullers on a budget (lol) used to make a clutch disk from aluminum plates, and to beef it up more...

    Don T.

    I agree wholeheartedly with the expressions of sympathy here; Don is so deeply missed by those of us who were blessed to know the man. Don's unique style was loved by all who worked with him, and that style must live on in his memory here. We worked on a few projects over the years...

    Cyclops side panel plastic repair

    David, I am going to have to use your example as my driving force to repair some of mine too. Really appreciate the great pictures and knowledge from you on this. One observation; When the top hood is raised, to check fluids as example, much more strain is exerted on the front grille...

    1320 Hydrostat Weak Reverse

    I agree wholeheartedly with the advice given by Matt G; the first step before anything else, is to thoroughly clean the engine and adjacent area well. Automotive aerosol cans of engine degreaser work very well, may need to rinse and repeat if really caked and baked on. After a cleaning is...

    2185 leaking oil

    Typically the front crankshaft seal, behind the electric PTO clutch. Often get dislodged when an operator shuts off a hot engine without following the proper procedure, so the engine gets a backfire. It is so important to have the throttle at least 3/4 open, not idling when shutting off the...

    3165--power steering issue

    Josh, that is great news and good detective work. I didn't know they price-pointed the steering so badly. Thank you for the great tips!!
