Do it right!

When I went looking for a mower for my daughter, it was probably about April. I could find very few used units at that time, I wound up buying her a 14 year oold LX176 14 hp 38 inch for $650. the dealer would not budge on the price, and had four more prospects lined up for it behind me! I would...

AGCO corp, which was formed when members of management bought out Deutz-Allis (successor to Allis-Chalmers) bought out Massey Ferguson agricultural equipment in 1994. They also bought out White (successor to Minneapolis-Moline, Oliver, and Cockshutt), McConnell, Fendt, Valtra, Sisu Diesel...

I would try taking one into your Agco or Massey Ferguson dealer. If they don't have replacements in stock, they can probably order some for you. They may also be able to steer you to a third-party source if OEM parts are NLA.

Hey, Erik, maybe some Loctite? There are many different varieties on the wall at KanEquip. Fred

I helped a customer last summer while I was working at a dealer, they had a Ford that had burned and were trying to get back together. The parts book showed only a generic diagram, there were actually several different wiring harnesses listed depending on serial number and installed options. The...

When you disconnect the backhoe, you must connect the "loopback" hose from one of the power beyond connections to the other. The hydraulic pump will be deadheaded if these ports are not connected, and the hydraulics will not work. This hose forms an integral part of the entire open center...

Sweet! Don't forget, we need pics pronto! :nopics: Have fun getting it dirty, and be safe out there! Fred

Manuals are available from Deere, at their website here: http://techpubs.deere.com/deere/Default.aspx. Good luck Fred

Here is trailing mower, it just has a separate engine. http://www.swisherinc.com/trail_mowers.asp These should be pretty widely available in your area. Good luck Fred

You should be able to get your dealer to make you a copy of the page(s) of the service manual for your tractor that indicates how the pins are connected. Or maybe someone on here has a manual that could post it for you. Good luck. Fred

I would recommend a thread sealant rather than a tape for any diesel fuel application. Small pieces of teflon tape can come off which could clog small orfices in the fuel system. Here are several by Permatex: http://www.permatex.com/products/Automotive/thread_compounds/a_thread_sealants.htm...

The only places I found advertising it (Amazon and Overton's) are sold out. It looks like maybe it is no longer available? And the one TSC has is available in store only, kind of indicates that maybe they aren't getting any more either. Probably time to look around and find some other kind...

I found a site that indicated the Manidig brand is owned by Manitou, their US website is here: http://www.us.manitou.com/. You might be able to get some information from them on your machine. Good luck Fred

IIRC the BX23 has a limited Cat 1 3-point hitch, the limitation being that it cannot lift implements as high as a standard Cat 1 hitch. Thus it requires implements designed specifically for sub-compact tractors. Woods, LandPride, and KingKutter all make PHDs for sub-compact tractors, as well as...

A fighter pilot will tell you that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing! Fred

I kept an eye on the weather all day Saturday, but fortunately none of the tornados hit Limestone County. We did have at least two that started out about 50 miles south of us in Cullman County, crossed over near Arab and Guntersville, plus one that hit Albertville, Geraldine, Fort Payne, and...

Nice find! I know you'll be happy with it over the 9N. On the backhoe, since it has its own controls, what you need for it is a power beyond kit instead of the normal remotes. the differences are that with remotes, you have to tie the valve open to use the backhoe, plus the valve represents a...

Check out who actually manufactured the County Line tiller (County Line is TSC's brand). I understand that TSC gets their tillers from King Kutter; if so, most of the reviews I've seen over the years consider them to be a really good tiller, despite paint flaws and some sloppy looking welds...

Hi, J1, and let me add my welcome to NTT. Please enjoy the forums, and post often. I bought my daughter a 1994 JD LX176 38 inch 14 hp used mower three years ago. The only things I've had to fix in that time were a main drive belt, drive belt guard (very reasonable price), and a mower deck...
