Normally, pictures are demanded of unique tools, tractors or techniques... however, in this case the moderators thank you for not providing pictures of your Dino...

GREASED ? lets it SLIDE over the trans irregularities , held in exact holding point with a wide tye wrap just above boot on shift rod , also regularly check my trans oil after cutting , when I top off tank , have a regular check over after every use , pete

Welcome to Red Square, where there's wealth of information available in both manuals and tribal knowledge. Gotta love a $40 Suburban with a $750 weight on the front! You got great bones there to start. -

Stern has a place on or near the ocean not too far from me. I know a guy that went to work for him as a caretaker for his property. This guy knows the caretaking business and has worked for some prominent people over the years. Two weeks after working for Stern he quit. He said he was a complete jerk and spoke to people in a very condescending manner. I agreed with him when he said that there’s too many nice people to work for than deal with someone like that! -

Happy Birthday, thanks for the fine products.

@Dave D. With all the help and information here on Red Square I would not hesitate to take the transmission apart to fix it. A guy by the name of Jake Kuhn used to sell a bearing and gasket kit for it, I’m not sure if he still does? He’s out west, Michigan or Wisconsin I believe. @stevasaurus is our resident expert on those transmissions. He’s usually around here to help and answer any questions you may have. You can do it!! -
Probably the most famous of those Radio folks that pushed the boundaries. Prior to that, we had a notorious Tart on a local station - WHJY. She went by the name of Carolyn Fox, her suffering sidekick by yhe name of Rudy Cheeks (get it?). Carolyn was born Carolyn Berman, and was a year behind me in High School. She was a wallflower then that never said a peep. The Carolyn Fox alterego was just the opposite with her gutter humor & off color jokes...

42" RD deck - finally cut out baffles

If you just removed the 2 triangular pieces, wouldn’t you get similar results with respect to the grass clippings not packing in behind the baffles? -

Thank you, I'll take some more pictures soon. Got to get all the parts together and start accessing it. Looking forward to some great information and advice on these little tractors. Thanks, Dave -

I did my 414-8 several years ago, with close supervision from very knowledgeable and great members here. My problem was the broken diff bolt that sometimes happens, if I can do it you can do it, especially with help found here. Bob

#restrictorplates I can’t say my butt dyno has ever felt the dIfference between 7 and 8 horsepowers.

2 your granddad sure did take very nice care of it! I'm certain he'd be happy knowing it's going to live on in the family

I would raise the rear and check the axle bearings for wear. There should be no radial movement. Axial movement is OK. If the bearings are OK and there is no noise when rotating the transmission, replace the leaking seal and run it.

Just bought a set of these xht blades from Sunbelt parts for my 48” deck. They seem to have a good selection. We have sandy soil and “normal “ blades get eaten alive. The original blades on our Kubota 2680 look new after 4 seasons. I’m hoping that these xht give similar results. Never heard of them but ran across their site searching for blades. Anyone else have any experience with these? https://www.sunbeltparts.com/pages/xht.html

Click on the fuzzy text picture in the link above. That should take you to the cover page for the file. You should be able to download from there.

How do I see these "admin uploaded a file"? Anything I try, they go hide in this system never to be seen again. Probably some in there older than a computer science graduate lol. If proprietary, that is working. I'll probably have this thing running from key today, big thanks to you folks.
