I know a lot of you out there have diesel equipment. Do you use any fuel additives/scales oils/stabilizers? I've just added a MF GC1720 to my heard. It is likely going to go a week or three between uses, so are there any issues I should be aware of? Comments? Opinions? Thanks in advance, and I hope this does not open a big can of worms discussion wise.

Best way to clean the backed on looking grime off the tractor and engine?

Gunk Original Engine Cleaner or Purple Power will cut the grease, sometimes a cleaning brush can help. Be aware that Purple Power can be harmful to aluminum or paint if left on too long, have a garden hose ready to rinse. Lose the pressure washer, it isn’t necessary and can do damage to many things. -
The NAPA in York, PA (not West York) has a machine shop and was still doing boring and valve seats, I doubt they would do disassembly and assembly.

Usually one time a year at most but I just mow every once in a while with some of mine just to remind me how much I like the zero turn to mower. I've never had any trouble with anything but try and avoid any part of the fuel systems. I blow the sensitive areas (wiring etc.) off with air compressor and will let them dry out really good before trying to crank them, sometimes overnight. -
Dayton has the fourth bricks and mortar store ever built just off I 75. and not a great area. We find ourselves in greenville OH that has TSC Rural King and HFT. All decent stores. But the best of all is the new one in Englewood Ohio right at the head of the Englewood Dam . We attend church at the other end of the dam, and I got a funny look when I said ," Now its time for temple" Harbor Freight is the Temple of Tools. They had a free SAE and free metric set of wrenches and its per visit and I managed to hit three stores. The hercules 3 and 4000 grit wet sanding foam pads are game changers and can sand out sand scratches with minimal paint removal , i try to catch the thirty percent off one item to buy the commercial grade rubbing and buffing compound by Meguiars

Yea like Gunk engine cleaner in a can. It foams up and runs off then spray with water. -

I’m hesitant to use too much pressure for fear of pushing water into places it shouldn’t be, but doing that change would mitigate that concern. Sounds like a once or twice per year major cleaning? -
I don’t know if you could get the 8” wheels specifically? Im assuming that it whatever the dealer had? I think* the 310 and the 312s were 6”? Im almost certain one you got into the 314s, and the 99+ 315 they had 8” front wheels. Ive had plenty of 310s and 312s with 6” front wheels. There may have been 310s or 312s that had 8” front wheels!!

Don’t they make a canned engine spray cleaner? I never tried it. -

Oven cleaner is likely to strip paint as well as remove grease and grime. -

I use gunk degreaser and pressure washer, but I always change all the fluids and grease everything well afterwards.... -

Like Palmolive? Note: substitute Gojo wherever it says Palmolive and imagine that lady’s dipping a Kohler in that bowl of green liquid that’s actually orange, and made to soften greasy engine grime. And it will still make no sense. I’m going to try that Gojo though, I’m thinking that will work great. -
I bought this cover in 1989 with a new 312-8. It is pictured on a 420-LSE here. Once in a while they pop up here for sale. High quality cover.

Heard tell oven cleaner but i have never used it. Might take paint off?? I use the color cleaners and dawn power wash and a pressure washer. -
As you can see the bolts holding the transmission halves together are rather far apart and the factory hitch puts all of the weight on the right side. After cracking one case half I won't be adding a lot of weight behind the axle where it can bounce and add dynamic force to the static load.
