pilot! DOH! Never, ever hold a PTO shaft! All it takes is something to engage and zippo... Case in point I was 14 when on my dad's 1945 Farmall I did just that. I broke my thumb in 3 places and dislocated it---lucky I didn't rip it clean off---which I have also seen up-close and in person when a guy at work installed a big shaft nut---by hand---on a RUNNING 11-hp buffer/polisher---he lost his arm from just below the elbow. I was the guy who rode with him to the hospital! Ever see fresh, beef spare ribs? Picture that sticking out of your elbow!

You need to grease only figureing on eight hour days of mowing which means if your mowing time is two hours you only need to grease every four times.

So the answer is , "no" ? The tractor should not stall?
My tiller has sat in a garage since purchase and has never seen rain, for that matter it had no rust or corrosion on it either. This is what confused me on why it is not working properly.
Art, my main problem is my general area I am working. It is a morain and grows 4-20 inch rocks every year with the frost. This back field is sooooo rocky I felt i was is a gravel pit LOL. I will have to have a rock picker run thru this field since we picked rock for weekends on end and still have this problem. As for beating up the shields? Not really from the rocks getting stuck as much as the rocks getting run thru the top and being forced thru.
I will take your advice though and start fresh with the slip clutch, thatnk you!

Bingo. There are a few slopes in the yard that I can't negotiate without 4 wheel drive (I use turf tires). Yes, I did have the differental lock engaged (I forgot to disengage after I needed it sometimes) and the dead, curved tracks are the width of the front tires. Learned something new. It's deep rooted grass, we've had a lot of rain lately and cool weather, it's beginning to grow back. Many thanks.

I am in the process of putting a new motor in this 1977 Case W14 wheel loader. I have it all put in and now I am working on the wiring. I have lost the manual and the old wiring is a mess. Can anyone help me with a wiring diagram? Sure appreciate it! capi

I have put about 75 hours of mowing and brush cutting on this battery and so far no evidence of corrosion and it starts the tractor with ease. All that was required was fabricating the battery hold down strap bracket.

My understand of the above Silver Technology Strong Box battery is that it is NOT a sealed battery and will still vent hydrogen sulfide into the radiator. NOT a desirable characteristic.

Depending on who made the tank they have taken parts from some other mfg. and tried tomake them work, or perhaps the tanwas made by someone for a different purpose or application. Generally the filler tube goes down to hold a strainer, but not always; my backhoe is like the "petrol tank" or "gas can", as we would say. The other reason I didn't think of before was---of course--gravity! You're on the bottom of the world so it's gonna pour out!

Since Kubota has significantly changed the line up of the M series tractor, there are some good deals for those willing to purchase last years models. I just took delivery of my new 2005 M6800. I have to say that it beats the heck out of my 30 year old IH.<br>
My Kubota dealer also does internet sales as far away as AZ. We are in KY.<br>
I got a full tank of fuel, fluid in the rear tires cat 1 bushings and plenty of information on how to take care of the tractor.

Super UDT has worked excellent in Kubota's tractors and I do recommend it to be used with their tractors as well as others. My second favorite would be the Case-IH Hytran as they built hydro's for years before anyone else. Hytran is a little thicker the the UDT although still thinner then most hydraulic oils.

Also get a can of carb and choke cleaner or gum cutter. I use 2+2 but any kind should do it. Make sure to saturate it and get all the ports.

Madcat -
Glad to hear you "found" something that created the noise. I know, one time, I thought that the entire tractor was going to fall apart under me, as I heard a horrible metallic clattery noise that I had not heard before.

Turned out that the lock bar for the split breaks had loosened up in the catch clip. Man did that scare me!

Weird noises do happen, but 90% of the time, it is something simple.

Thanks for the update. Have a noise free weekend !

If you listen to ancient scholars, they say the language used has been mis-interpreted to mean virgins. According to them, the actual interpetation is along he lines of a paradise like having plenty of free fruit like grapes. To a bedouin living a nomadic life in the desert, that would be paradise. Again, a big surprise compared to 70 virgins.

The castors on my MMM don't always turn when I back up. It's basic physics and how the castor is loaded. If the wheel is perfectly aligned with the direction of reverse travel, then there is no force to cause it to rotate is it's in alignment with the vertical axle. When the wheel is slightly out of alignment, a moment arm is created causing the castor to rotate. As long as the moment arm force exceeds the friction of it's bushings, it will rotate.

Clear as mud? I tried not to be overly technical but it's easier to explain when I have a napkin or envelope to draw diagrams on.

The Kubota valve for the tractor thru the wholegoods dept is a complete kit including levers and hoses and ends to match the original design. To price the valve only thru parts dept is possible but more costly like every other thing built.

I just wish that for a few days, the this and that hating, bush hating, this war is illegal preaching, bush lied-people died screaming, america is getting what it deserves teaching,,,, loudmouths...could put 'all that' aside...just for a few days, so that 'we' along with the iraqis dancing in their streets today....can just 'rejoice' in what a wonderful thing has happened this day, and acknowledge the obvious ability of our troops to ignore all the noise and negativity, and just keep on keeping on, doing an awesome job taking care of business, and slowly but surely working towards ultimate and lating victory in this theater called Iraq....
