Lets start simple first.

1. Check the fuses in the fuse panel. There are fuses there that won't let the engine crank and also, won't let the engine shut off.
2. Check the seat switch wires for a pinched wire, sometimes they get caught under the seat linkage. Also, check behind the dash, the safety circuit wires sometimes get caught up in the brake return springs.

If the tractor wont crank it makes it sound like there is a ground out in the saftey circuit. The PTO switch or the range switch, or the foward reverse lever if the tractor is new enough could be the problem due to if any of them are engaged you won't get power to the starter from the key.

If you have any more info let me know.

Legacy it is. The 2WD model I saw ( 2003 model ) had a drive train to rival most compact tractors, VERY beefy. The 20 HP liquid cooled Kawasaki seemed a bit under powered though. I think the 4WD has a 27HP. ( both gas engines )

I have been keeping an eye on everthing and put another 2 hours of cutting grass. I have now noticed it is running hotter than it did before. It no runs on the first line of the last green box, It never got up that high unless the grille and screen was stating to get plugged up. That was always the point that I knew to stop and clean it off but now I noticed it rises just past that point and drops a little, when it drops is when the thermostat is opening. I checked with the cap off and compared when the coolant began to flow. Is my t/stat bad now? And what relly makes me nervous is that it doesn't seem to have the power in 3 gear(HST) that it had before. Where does your gauge read when warmed up?

I have a CC 7265 with a mid mount mower that keeps bending the pins on the rear lift linkages. The deck is made by Woods for CC. Does anyone have a fix for this? I mow three times and need new pins because they are bent right over.

Hello again, I do not expect anybody to do anything for FREE. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE. The failsafe warranty that I have will reimburse any dealer/mechanic that will work on the tractor, or at least that is what it says. Second of all, the tractor is still under the manufactures warranty, third, I was having problems with the tractor before the 6 month warranty ran out. I guess, I am going on with this because of my principal belief, that is, if I was a dealer for Lenar, then regardless of what the contract says, I am a Lenar Dealer and a Lenar Mechanic for all Lenar tractors. I am sure that the company pays for labor, and if not, there is the extended warranty, and of course you dont get rich by not working and turning away business. If I was selling Lenars and they kept comming back to me due to factory defects, then I would quit selling a product that is of poor poor quality and workmanship and start selling a product that I would be proud to stand behind but I would continue to service the tractors. If you think about it, I did not post a complaint with any of the tractors or the problems that I was having until my support was cut off. Again, a tractor is only as good as the support that the company has for it. And in Michigan, I have found no support, but they had the right idea of selling them here. You see, Michigan has more register boats than any other state, and if I was a Lenar distributor, knowing that these tractors get shipped out in crates, or a makeshift basket, thus making them basket cases, you would have to figure that there would be some boaters that could recycle the tractor and use it as a heavy duty anchor when it breaks down. Unfortunatley, with the luck that I have had with the tractor, I would be afraid to use it for that purpose myself, because it probably would rust and fall apart before it hit the bottom of a 35 ft lake. I asked nicely for support from Lenar and instead of support, I got let down. I have gotten the brush off, sent on a wild goose chase calling mechanics that have little or no idea of Lenar. If Lenar does not like this negative publicity, (which they dont, which is why they changed their website so people cant post there either) then why not call me, and satisfy this situation. The publicity is hurting business for the small dealers thus resulting in less tractors being imported by Lenar, but I really think that the Lenar tractor will be phased out here shortly and Taskmaster will replace it, why? because Mazama Products imports Lenar and Taskmaster and I have heard that there are some import troubles with Lenar already. I do not think I am being unfair or unreasonable, I have had four Lenars, all had problems, I hope that Lenar never sells another tractor in the US again. I will not put them out of business, their own business practices will. If Lenar cared about its dealers or reputation, they would shut me up, but they dont care. One difference between Lenar and a Tonka toy is the tonka toy doesn drip oil every where it goes.

Maybe just some unasked for detail here but maybe interesting to some. Supplemental grounds for outbuildings are required here only for buildings that house livestock. The main idea is to ensure that neutral and earth potentials are the same. Especially in dairy operations tingling from differences in potentials can sure put them off their food and make them cranky.

Generally supplemental grounds are undesirable since they can set up ground loops that may use power and reduce life of the grounding system. Around here grounding rods start loosing their effectiveness at around five years anyway and plates last only a little longer.

Regarding disconnects: For separate structures, a circuit breaker for a single circuit or a double breaker for two circuits qualifies. Anything else takes a sub-panel with a main breaker or a separate disconnect box. The neutral and ground busses cannot be bonded.

Kubota's are known for there longevity and relaibility. They have many features that help to make maintenience and servicing easy. There are no hot spots to have to worry about when the tractor gets ten years old.

I'd have it priced around 10,000 depending on the condition up or down. 1200 hours on a Kubota are not that many for one when taken care of. I've seen both landscapers as well as golf coarses go both ways on care.

I'd say to look at the BX, it's a lot of tractor for it's size and the hoe is and the way it's mounted is the best in the industry in it's size and then some. The price won't leave you with empty pockets for long and the enjoyment of it will last for years. They are capable of mowing about 2-3 acres an hour with no trouble and altough small they are very capable. I watched as a customer of mine was moving a stone for me in a flower bed that must have weighed about a ton.

The price is about right for a good clean one. It would do all that you are looking for and a little extra. The side console model was a little more the normal for controls of the tractor then the 10 and the early 20 series as they had everything on the dash to operate the tractor so you are getting the better of years.

I like the Kubota line because they are lighter than most with equal HP. I have a B7500 wich is more than enough for my 2.5 acres of future grass and 10 acre pasture land. The 7500 hst weighs just under #1400's. Some may not see this as an advantage as I do. I'm not going to pile on Green, everybody should get a pass once and again.

I have a reverse steer or back steer tractor with the brand name of Hercules sold by the Hercules Equipment Corporation. It has a Diesel engine made by Benya in China. Can anyone tell me more about this tractor or where I might find a repair or motor manual for it. I assume that Benya sells its engine for under other manufacturer names??? thanks for your help, Craig

Good choice. I am sure it will serve you well.

If you find you need a bit more downward pressure, I can recommend E-Z weights without reservation.

Just wondered if anybody has bought or thought about buying the Xtra Armor package? Does anybody know the cost for a 4310 kit? Can't find any info on the Deere site about it, probably overkill anyways but then again might save the hood someday.
