All may not but the antifreeze I have bought tells it is for both gas and diesel. Can not imagine a difference in the antifreeze.

I change about ever two years. Not sure what the manauls say. Have heard the coolant will or can break down.

It is hard to believe they did not place any brand info on it. Look very carefully and look at the thick metal for such to be stamped into that metal if they did not use id tag.
But there might not be a real need to know the brand. It is possible you can buy the wear items just by matching them with off the shelf items.

I would want it removalbe as it will be damaged over time on the front. Most install one behind the seat and there could be bolt holes there already. But look at tool boxes. Simple heavy ones. Better will be ammo box.

[QUOTE=ditaravi;178981] Can this tractor be started by a push or pull from another tractor?How would this be done? [/QUOTE]

I don't know this tractor but feel certain you can pull it to start it. Assuming you will do so with another tractor.

You need operator on each tractor who is comfortable with that tractor. I use about a middle range gear in each tractor. Be 100% sure each one knows how they will be stopping and what they need to do to prevent the towed tractro from running into the tractor towing it. Of course have the tractor switched on. You would begin pulling with the towed tractor in gear with clutch depressed and slowing engaging when you are moving good. Depressing it when it starts.

Jeff, that is a neat idea on the wrench.

Skip, hyd fittings vary as to their sealing method. It if it is leaking where it is just threads sealing do use a good thread sealant. I prefer teflon tape but what ever you use don't place it past the end of the fitting so it ends up in the hyd system. If you use the tape and have never done so you wrap it opposite direction of the threads so screwing it in does not take it off. They do have dope for hyd fittings also. Do be sure you have noting being held up by hyd pressure when you do this. If not sure as has been suggested before, get wrench in place and drop heavy rag over the fitting as you break if there is still pressure.

Joe, had battery to die like that in one vechile about a year ago and my oldest daughter's vechile did this year. Have been told (no idea if correct) the newer designed batteries are more likely than those from years ago. You may find using a mirro helps to see behind the dash. No not your wife's makeup one.

Have no knowledge of the Liberty brand or label. Per two different people who (one with Agri Supply) and one who had a business of mostly boom flail mowers; most if not all flail mowers were made in Italay. That was when I was doing careful shopping about 4 to 6 years ago. They also said there was not that many manufactors of them, just labeling of them. Still would not be surprise since then to be changes there.

Murf, you are right on the pump. It is only designed to get fluid to the pump itself, right?

Is it possible the center could be rebored by a machine shop? If not does two belts run on the pulley or a double belt? If two seperate belts realize it would be wider than the double pulley but could you mount two pulleys there? Might have to join them due to shaft length. Is there clearance for that and also is the top belt run long enough it would run on slightly higher pulley or could you raise the other pulleys to match it?

The bolts for the blades on my Bush Hog brand are right hand threads but then can be bears to break loose, unless you are using an impact wrench. They do tighten with use.

As to throwing grass clippings on the mulch, if possible keep the chute turned away from the mulch. We use red mulch and know the pain.

If you have a manual it will show the location. On my Kubota's they are below the seat on the sheet metal and not "under" the seat itself.

Have you tried working the shifter (with the tractor off) linkage with the access plate off by hand? Am talking about inside the transmission to be clear.

If you must tear it down that will be a bummer. Is there any linkage or connection that could be loose on the outside of the rear end that is disconnecting the spring and lever from the gears and not releasing?

It is my thought if the same your Cub Cadet dealership would know. But if it is a rebadge Mahindra it would seem easy knowing your's hp and other specs to match it to the Cub yourself.

Oregon makes a lot of blades. You may find them here also.
Agri Supply sells a lot of their blades and does have web site and phone sales. Good price also.

No idea if same on your mower but looked at manual on line for their series 100 I think. Per it there is only one way to adjust the wheels and that is their axle bolt raising or lower it in the mount to another hole. It does agree the wheels are not suppose to be in contract with the ground nor should they have "excess" clearance.

If you have raised the wheels to the higher bolt hole and they still ride on the grass two thoughts: are you sure you have the correct blades for the deck, it might be suppose to have blades where the cutting edge is lower than the mounting holes are and you have straight blades or could you happen to have the wrong wheels on the deck (which if you have had to replace would doubt it came with wrong wheels and you bought more and they sold you wrong ones also).
