It's been a while for me too. The wobble is not noticeable from the drivers seat, only when the front end is lifted, and then the rocking is only slight. I had my local guy look at it and he said he saw no problems, however, I'm not sure how hard he looked. I've mowed and hauled logs and dirt in the FEL and have not noticed any increase in the problem. It also seems it's just the wheel moving. I'll raise it up tonight and see if the lug nuts need tightening. I would assume when it was looked at during recent maintenance, it would have been tightened when everything was put back together. But I know what is said about assumptions.

BTW: For trailering purposes, how much does a Agracat 254 weigh?

As I said, I don't really need them just want them. My old bronco NEEDS them because none of the guages work and I tried everything I know to do. As from my other recent posts about my tractor running hot, it got so hot a couple of times that condensation formed on the inside of the glass of the guage. I too would rather not have metric guages and that may be reason enough to change them. I assume replacing them with standard 2" automotive guages would work unless someone can tell me why I shouldn't or why it won't work.

Just to liven up this sleeping post. I ended up re-doing the ends on my (+) battery cable and I eliminated my problem until yesterday. I recently broke the bolt that attaches the alternator to the engine block. When I put everything back together, the belt has a little play (about a 1/2 inch) but everything turns (no slippage). Is it possible that the alternator isn't recharging the battery because of a loose fan belt and should there be any play at all in the belt. I made sure I marked which cable connects to what on the alternator so, I'm pretty sure I hooked it back up correctly.

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU ALL (greg_g/earthwrks). No matter how minor the suggestion might seem when being made, they still make a big difference to those of us who don't know better or just weren't thinking about it. Washing out the radiator fins did the job. So simple I'm embarrased to admit it. When I turned the garden hose on from the back side, something that looked like pond scum washed out the other side. The previous owner used tractor primarily to load sand into a sand blaster at a machine shop. What I saw was a mixture of boiled over coolant, sand, dust and grass washing out. After I did that, the machine ran cool for the entire time I used it to mow my 5 acres and not once ounce of boilover. In addition, I also re routed the air intake (also suggested by greg g) with a bit of intake hose and I'm sure this contributed as well. I also took some engine cleaner and cleaned off the layer of crud (dirt and oil) off as much of the engine as I could so the heat could dissapate a little better. <br>
<br>
Now, I'm obsessed about cleaning the radiator and want to pull it out and give it a good washing/air cleaning. It's hard to reach all the corners while in the tractor and I noticed 2 bolts at the bottom holding it to the frame. If I remove the nuts, remove the fan shroud and unclamp the hoses (after draining) will it just pull out or is there something hidden elsewhere holding it in?<br>
<br>
BTW. Any time my wife gives me the green light to purchase new tools, I'm going for it and will just "forget" to mention that the problem the new tool was supposed to fix was already fixed with the water hose. As far as tool buying, what she doesn't know wont hurt anything.<br>

Thank you friends!

I added the Hyd oil (NAPA Premium AW standard) and the shuddering was gone. Everything worked smoothly. Maybe I caught the problem soon enough for salvage. We'll see.

Thanks again friends!

Thank's murf. I'll try a place nearby with that in mind. I wasn't sure if those ends were standard type ends or special Chinese metric parts only available from the factory. I'm new to this so I don't know.<br>

How do I get in contact with Chip. I just did a little more digging and saw that he is in Arkansas. Chip are you out there?<br>

UPDATE: THANK YOU MURF! He's just a hop skip and a jump away. Practically Local.
