That sounds interesting. If I get the specs on the motor, can you recomend a product to use?

Well, SO FAR (knock on wood) the product is working fine here. Our dealer did tell us that some maintenance was required, specifically that needles may build up on inside corners and have to be removed. When the needles aren't removed then dripping does occur. One thing that helps us is a very steep 12/12 roof, I can see a shallow roof not working as well since the water won't wash down as fast and clear the debris as well.

Many of the complaints you link to are about icicles forming. I'm not at all sure that's a mastershield problem since icicles have been forming on eaves since the invention of the roof.

Some other complaints are about dealers and not about the product itself. Crappy dealers sell all kinds of products, good and bad, so maybe mastershield should be more willing to yank bad dealers but that's not a reflection on product performance. We installed a well respected heat pump brand but it's been a huge disappointment due to the crappy installation.

The BBB thing seems damaging but they give no details.

(An an aside I had a consumer issue with the BBB once and they are pretty much a worthless organization that runs for the benefit of the businesses that provide funding as opposed to consumers. There's no way my business would be a BBB member).

Have you found anyone else who has reported the problem you are having?

The cheap Frontier flex finish mowers are from Befco. They're cheaply built for the cost. Check out the Woods TBW150C. The purchase price is several thousand less than any of the other 12' units on the market. I disagree with using a ZTR for 15 acres. In 10 years you will have a worthless piece of junk. If you have the tractor buy the pull behind mower. It and the tractor will far outlast the ZTR, plus ZTR's ride like a hayrack. You will be much more comfortable on the tractor. 10 years from now the tractor and pull behind unit will still have a good portion of their value. At 5 mph you get about 7.5 acres/hr with a 12' mower.

Never moved a shipping container, but did move a portable building with 4 X 6 skids under it once using the rolling pipe method. I had the same issue, gravel. I had some 2 X 12 planks I laid diwn for the pipes to roll on. It made for some extra carrying around to the other end work, but you'll only do it once.

This past weekend I experienced a problem with my 2001 gator 4X2. I am not a mechanic so excuse me if I use the incorrect terminology. Essentially, whenever I give the gator gas it either does not want to accelerate or if I'm accelerating it gets stuck and it won't idle back down. I inspected the cable which is connected to the gas pedal (at the carburetor) and as I step on the gas the cable appears to stick. I can pull on the cable lever with my fingers and it moves like it is supposed to after a slight stickiness. <br>
<br>
If I drive the gator for a while with the gas pedal fully depressed, the opposite happens. The gator gets stuck in the wide open position and I can barely stop the vehicle. I had to put it in neutral a couple of times to stop it! Again, I can move the lever with my fingers and it will idle back down. <br>
<br>
I removed the carburetor and moved the flaps back and forth manually. The one which controls air flow seemed ok but the one which controls gas flow felt a little sticky. I cleaned it with solvent and sprayed lubricant on the OUTSIDE of the carburetor. This seemed to help but after I reattached the cable to the flap it started acting up again. <br>
<br>
Does anyone have any input as to what the culprit is and how I can fix it (procedures/parts). Thanks!! :)

Just thought I would let you know that I have a DF 354 that I have been using since 2003 (almost 500 hours). It's been a great little tractor. Biggest issue was reacing the clutch plate that wore out at approx. 400 hrs.
Thought I had to break the tractor in half to do it (heavy work) it was very, very simple to do. It was the first time I had ever done anything like that and was quite fun to do. Other than that nothing much has ever went wrong with it. The electronics and lights are typical cheap chineese stuff. But I keep fiddling with them and they keep working! I get my oil and fuel filters from Eagle Tractors in Kentucky. They also sold me the new clutch plate I installed.

I thought I would give an update to the status of my problem in this thread. I have confirmed that like earth and kdsrgone, my late model tc29d had a relay and timer for the glow plugs. I did a little testing and concluded the relay was bad. Not too bad given it was only about $12. The only problem was, I was wrong. The relay was fine, the new one didn't fix the problem. I did a little more digging and found a test procedure for the timer on another website. I took the timer out and tested it today and it tested bad. So I'm in for another $71 including shipping. If I can figure out how to post a jpg file here, I'll post the test procedure in this thread in hopes that It will help others.

[QUOTE=pjells;167475] I don't really understand how it works ... [/QUOTE]That's why we're here to help. Don't discount the priority valve though. The fact something outside the steering sub-circuit can be made to work by turning the steering wheel - is a classic symptom of a problem in the priority valve. When there's no steering input, the PV is supposed to close - which routes all fluid around the main circuit (loop), which in your case runs the loader and rear hitch. But a malfunctioning PV can stick open - or partially open - unnecessarily feeding the steering circuit at the expense of the main circuit. Turning the steering wheel of a PV that's malfunctioning (dirty) in this manner has the effect of (temporarily) returning some flow back to the main loop.

When this happens - and your loader will lift but not curl - gives evidence that the curl valve is dirty too. Your loader and control valve types remain unknown, but typically there is no additional priority valve associated. More common is a controller that consists of (a) lift valve, (b) curl valve, and (c) relief valve. Two out of those three appear to be ok, but only when provided fluid by turning the steering wheel.

Make more sense now?

If you can see crud inside and a leak outside, recore.

I dont think thats it. Its a square box unless its a diffent style. The box that i took off had a wire harness with alot of wires on it with a big plastic connector its the brain to your tractor. The solienoid problem you are having was the same problem i had but my solienoid over heated twice cause of that box and ended up burning mine. If theres a metal panel under your seat look underneath to see if its not mounted under there. I know what your going through because i would put my finger in where that solienoid was at also a the tractor would start too but a wrang out the wires to that box according to the wiring diagrams JD sent me and it would tell that solienoid when to engage and disengage. Good luck and hope the info is helpful

Spudster, I have a Belarus 800 and can not find the wiring diagram you said you have. Could you be so kind as to share that? my email is mrinkspot@windstream.net Or any one here on the forum that has manuals on a 800. I have wiring problems. I don't know how to operate the polarity switch located on the rear right side of the seat. It is a large push button switch that hooks to the battery terminal. Thanks

Need a wiring diagram of the back of the start switch (pencil sketch would be fine).My 310 doesn't show the glowplug light after main switch on but shows 12 volt at the glowplug at any switch position with the main on. I changed the ignition switch a year or so ago and have had problems keeping the batteries up. I use the tractor for snow removal and I need it the most when conditions are the worst.

I have my thoughs on how long this will run on a charge but the air powered hammers are very good for certain jobs. The biggest one I have seen them on are where you have to place a nail in the metal hanger and use short heavy nails. Also great between rafters on already built houses.

Sometimes I miss the basic..diesel...so gas and spark plugs not likely an issue. :-(

OK begin again: have you check to see if FUEL is getting to the injector pump? Have you checked the air filter. Sure your fluid is free of water?

It does turn over but will not fire, correct? Have you tried jumping it just in case the battery is not capable of spinning it as fast as it should? Have no idea on those engines if there any kind of starting fluid safe to use with it or not.
