I'm hoping the shaft is not damaged and I will disconnect the linkage and try to turn it by hand. Technically it's warrantied by the dealer for 30 days but I hate to drag it 180 miles each way if it's a simple fix. Supposedly it was working when I picked it up and this machine has never seen either pto used .

thanks and I'll let y'all know what i find out.

That manual looks pretty technical. The other guy I work with took the carburetor a part and put it back together and it still does the same thing. I'll look at that section and see if there's something I can do. And yes, a blue spark does appear when I check the spark.
Thanks!

Saw earlier post regarding grinding gears on a Gator. Same problem here, have slowed idle as low as I can. still grinds going into gear. Here's something of interest, If I cut the motor off and immediately restart, then it does not grind when I put it into gear. My local JD dealer says there is no adjustment and grinding is a fact of life--my gator only started this within the past year. Any bright ideas out there?

Thanks for replying Haunter. Your right i should be more patient, i just have certain goals around my home to get done this year. Also by no means did i reject auerbachs idea of good tractor bad engine, infact i really like the idea, its just that im too busy, and i mean that in a good way. Also im trying to get my wife set up on her business too, we just moved here last june and she trains horses and i want to give her the complete facilities to do that rain or shine, or inthe case of MN a crap load of snow. Again Auerbach and TheHaunter thanks for your advice and comments, I need to learn to be patient i guess is the moral of the story.

I meant if someone had one laying around from a dump trailer, small dump truck or even large boat trim tab power pack (I got one off eBay for $75)--they're not that big--18"-20" long x 6-9" sq. Surpluswise, new, less than $200. And I wasn't thinking of having it self contained ON the grapple but elsewhere remotely perhaps near the rear axle or by seat--or even on a bracket on the front. Even some of the newer snow plow setups have nice small pump and reservoirs albeit some do stay with the plow when parked/stored. Cables aren't that expensive, and some power packs use solenoids for power and down, so only a DPDT switch would be needed.

The Dash panel on my 5254 has stopped working. No big deal however the pto will not turn on with the dash not working.<br>
<br>
Is there any place to buy a dash panel used or at a reasonable price? <br>
<br>
Better yet does anyone know how I could jumper or rewire the PTO switch to work without the dash?<br>
<br>
I have removed the seat, rops and rear fenders to get to the pto electrical connection and sent 12 volt to them. The PTO solenoid cycles. <br>

A thousand thanks to Lucnoel.
I confirmed my tractors serial numbers fit the service bulleten and ordered the part. Spent aprox $120 in parts and fluids and fixed the leak over the weekend. I've run the tractor and appears to be fine. Hope it holds!

Saved $1,800 to $2,700 quoted by the 3 nearest Kubota shops.

Thanks Lucnoel for the excellent info.

If you put power to the starter solenoid it pulls a contact package that completes the circuit between the 12v power source and the starter windings. The other end of the solenoid pulls a fork that engages the starter drive. If you are pulling the solenoid and the starter is just spinning, you aren't engaging the starter drive with the flywheel on the other end. Sounds mechanical to me. Fork, starter drive or something. The two green wires are the feed from the stator to the regulator.

If I only needed some type of light weight root rake this thing "MIGHT" be ok. I would not buy it!

Putting tines on my bucket much cheaper. The other issue I see is lack of a grapple.

But to each his own. I think PT Barnum had a saying...

1. While in motion at a steady pace, I turn on cruise control. The button lights up when depressed but turns back off when I let go hence, the tractor doesn't go by itself.<br>
<br>
2. Also noticed that the forward pedal likes to stick slightly while under load. I read somewhere else that there is a B shaped something or other under the pedals and all I had to do was spray it with lithium grease. Make any sense?<br>
<br>
3. My buddy left the rear finisher in the up position and went to lunch. When he returned the mower was on the ground. No sign of leaks of any kind, is that normal?<br>
<br>
Other than that, I did some fantastic yard work today, knocked over 5 stumps, took the roots out and all with EASE. I couldn't believe it, I thought it wouldn't be able to.<br>
<br>
To see me, you'd actually think I knew what I was doing LOL. These machines are truly, very nice.

They *almost* got me. I figured it was TractorPoint and almost clicked when I realized that it was not. Now it may be a scam site, or a phishing site, or just some schmoe who is using spam to promote his site, but you've got to read those subject lines and sender address carefully to prevent getting sucked in.<br>

Just a warning to be careful out there, scammers are getting more and more clever. Bastards.

For years if you wanted a really superb cut you only really had 2 choices, reel of flail.

Both are spendy when it comes to maintenance, but the reel is a bunch more to sharpen, which is required on a regular basis, even if you don't hit anything.

The big problem with a flail mower from our point of view is it's slow compared to other cutters.

It is however much safer for by-standers or vehicles if you hit something. The much lighter flail knives or hammers don't have the mass behind them to turn a piece of debris into a projectile.

We still have a bunch of them because certain government type contracts specify the work must be done using a flail-type mower.

Best of luck.

I found a 2008 John Deere 2305 with a 62 MMM and a hood guard. The tractor has 2 hours on it. The tractor is still considered new - never sold. The dealer wants $10,600 for it. Do you think it is a good deal? Give me your honest opinion.

I was not "worried" about capacity but merely alerting people what I found out from the dealer. The old tried and true rule of thumb of 2.2 X Loader model number for bucket lift capacity will not apply to the new models. Kubota has gone the way of John Deere in how they arrive at model numbers. I do however maintain my position on liking the wider loader arms and that the wider pin placement will give a better breakout force given the cylinders and pressure are the same. I am open to info on the contrary if there is any to be had.

Got another look at it in better light and the manufactured date is '02 not '07. Looks like we may be out of luck. If anyone owns one of these machines or has an idea on a source for parts please chime in.

I have a Cub Cadet GT 1554. When I engage the clutch the blades will start spinning but when I start to mow and get in heavy grass it stops spinning. If I stop the blades will catch back up again but then if I start back they stop again.Is there a way to check to see if I am getting enough power to the clutch? How can I tell if I need a new clutch? Is there a way I can check it?
