Can you please tell me the model # of your mid-mount mower for the 755? I have a 1990 755 20 hp Diesel and need a mower for it. Thank for your help!

no the rebar has to be clean. if it has rust or dirt stuck to it the concrete won't stick. When we have rebar sit we always clean it off. If it has lot of rust and dirt build upwe haveeven gone to thelenght of sandblasting. If this for a garage floor than a 5 or six inck slab would be lots. unless your parking somthing the size of JD 9030 in it. Like I said I have my truck parked on my concrete since '99. No problems. When I had my truck weighed it was 3,100kg (6,820lbs) 10 years no cracks. The problem with roads ios that they are exposed to weather. Even a hailine crack will cause problems. Water gets into the crack and freezes over winter. It expands and makes the crack bigger. More water, more freezing, bigger yet. Soon it is pothole. Inside a garge this shouldn't be a problem.

My garage has a smooth finish, not broomed. In some light it looks almost polished. If you put a sealer over top it will last longer than you or me. sealer will keep the water from penetrating from the top. So when you park you machine after clearing snow the melt water can be pushed back out.

Avishay, I have a skid loader. It weighs about 8,000 lb. Its fuel consumption is rated in gallons-per-hour which is 2.9. It's rated at 78 hp.

Unlike a transportation vehicle which is rated for getting from point A to B and using that energy efficiently because of speed, machinery cannot do that. Somehwere I read a typical vehicle only needs 4 HP at each wheel to propell it at 45 MPH.

LOL, I come from a long line of prolific inventors. I remember when I was 12 or 13 I "invented" a proplusion system based on compressed air and a steam-type turbine. (Little did I know that a turbine was not like a fan) I was so proud of it. I showed the plans to an engineer-type whose first observation was: "Where does it get its compressed air?"

(I had air tanks to hold compressed air). In "my world" the turbine would power an air compressor to refill the compressed air tanks. He says "Then you have invented the first perpetual motion machine. And those don't exist".

Oh.

"Air tanks, not good enough", he said. "You'll need a big compressor mounted on a trailer to power it. And if you're gonna do that, you might as well just power the car with the engine from the compressor".

So, Avishay, this is how I see electric equipment: you'll need a big generator to constantly recharge the batteries. And if you have to do that, you might as well...

And you said thjat tracks use more power than wheels--I'm not sure about that. There are many factors that go into that pro and con. Yes it takes more power to turn a tracked vehicle that has tracks longer than the tracked width. No, it doesn't take more power to traverse sand where you have floatation. And it depends on the profile of the track too: New Holland and Komatsu excavators have what are called pavement tracks taht have curved-up side lips that make turning easier and less damaging to not only pavement but earth too.

Because the previous owner did his own wiring job I don't know if I can help you or not. To shut your Gator off you have to ground the white wire coming out of the magneto run relay. That wire is the white wire that is in the plug that goes into the ignition switch.( at least it was when it was built) The black wire coming out of the ignition switch is the ground. When the switch is turned off it connects the black ground wire and the white wire internally and grounds the magneto run relay and shuts the motor off. So I would start with running a wire from the black wire coming out of the switch to ground and see if that works. If that doesn't do it you will have to see if the white wire coming out of the switch goes all the way to the run relay. The relay should have the white wire( actually 2 whites going into 1 connector), a purple and white, and 2 blacks jumpered to 1 more black. As I say, you have to ground the white wire to shut it off.

Kkocher13,

TractorData.com lists the MT372 as having a Cat0,1 3-point hitch.

Cat1 implements use a 7/8" diameter lower lift pin.
Cat0 implements use a 5/8" diameter lower lift pin.

If the MT372 has 7/8" diameter lower lift pins, you'll probably only have to remove and reinstall the lift pins on the implement -- by installing them so they face toward each other -- in order to attach a Cat 1 implement.

Please see the link below.

Hope that helps.

There is no path for oil to be at the front of an HPX. Are you losing oil from the motor? See if anything is wet around the motor. Check your coolant for oil. Check overflow tank level, see if oil is present. Could possibly be the front differential also. That would be the most likely thing up front that has something that looks like oil in it.

Thanks for the reply.

My B6200 has a mid PTO and that is what powers the belly mower. I guess another way to ask, did the frames change from the early 80s to the mid 90s?

I may have to make a template to verify.

There are differences in the units at Sears vs the Cadets and the 3206 is a true garden tractor and they have been up a good unit. The other other unit mentioned is a lawn tractor no matter how you spell it.

Used to sell Husky's, Cadets are better made and gave them up as we were tired of fixing them. No major one thing breaking just everything except the engines.

I didn't get a worm, but I did have something odd happen to me using Craigslist.

April 1 & 2 I got about 300 online resumes and emails from people applying for a non-existent job someone else put up in my name. The ad said I would pay them $14.50 an hour, pick them up and drop them off, pay for their meals, must have a strong back and a sense of humor, and be creative.

The ad encouraged everyone applying to be funny and creative in their introduction line to get my attention. I called a few people back last night and told them the news asking them to flag the ad to get it removed.

Whoever placed the ad, should be in marketing as they could sell ice to an eskimo.

Milk goat = �7 lb/d milk, holstein = �70 lb/d. The physical effort to milk each at least 2x daily is approximately the same as are the physical resources for a milking parlor (possibly slightly larger for a cow parlor). Assume the feed fed per lb milk produced is a wash (in actuality cows are more efficient converters of feed to milk), you would need significant additional revenue from the goat milk to make it worthwhile to milk goats. If everyone suddenly got into goat milk production you would expect the prices for your milk to plummet as demand was rapidly exceed by supply and goat milk would be a very price inelastic product.

I suspect the hung-up brakes is indeed the culprit.

The insides of tractors tend to seize up when they are not run regularly. The oil in the transmission/differential gets splashed all over when the tractor is being used, that lubricates all the shafts that pass through the casing.

Try working the brake lever back and forth after oiling it from the outside and make sure it moves both freely and fully.

Best of luck.

[QUOTE=kthompson;161681] Murf, probably did not tell people the heat from the unit could melt ice on frozen over lakes. [/QUOTE]

Now Kenny, your Southern roots are showing again friend.

When I say 'frozen lake' I mean FROZEN. We get 24" - 36" of ice on that lake, you couldn't melt through it in a month of Sundays.

The problem was two-fold, they were out late in the season after a warm spell, so the ice was beginning to go out. They were also in an area of small islands, which causes funny patterns in the currents. A pressure ridge had caused a crack to open and they drove into the opening before they could see it.

The contractors around here have old trucks modified for running the frozen lakes.

They have two long heavy beams welded along side like skis that will hold the truck up if it falls through. They also remove the regular doors and seat belts and put plastic vapour barrier on wire frames on in place of the doors. The theory is you can't belt yourself in, the truck can't drop all the way in, and the door barely stops the wind never mind someone in hurry to get out. LOL

It's a tragedy, no doubt, a good man lost his good wife and only child (daughter) right in front of his eyes. According to one of the neighbours who were close to them, the man is just a basket case. Blame? Maybe, but this was IMHO probably the closest you can get to the definition of an "accident".

Best of luck.

On the "Compact Tractor Review" site, several reviews of this rig. Complaints (that I didn't understand) about a "quarter-inch valve" or something.

I could make this statement a million times here but I did not realize how much I used and keep learing in my manuals but it seems every time I find such a post as this I pull a manual on one of my units and learned something else or am reminding of something. Get your self a manual if possible.
When I purchased a used Volvo excavator I made sure manuals were included. Boy they are worth a ton. Sure glad I did not have to buy them seperate.
