    Used tractor nightmare

    That seems doable. Nothing there sounds to hard, just fidgety. So you say parts run away when pulling it apart? So no clips or retainers on the pads for assembly? Sounds fun. I'll for sure be attempting the adjustment first in hopes that the pads still have some life left in them. Topic change...

    Used tractor nightmare

    I appreciate all the help guys, but I think I'm done spending money on this thing, at least for the time being, well almost. Now that I finally have it reassembled and basically fully functional, (oh yeah, right. Didn't tell you yet. Surprise! I fixed it!) All I want now is to just use it so I...

    Used tractor nightmare

    I believe that's what is meant to be there, but I'll be damned if I can locate them in the parts manual, and a search of the entire document for Quick yields 0 return found so without part numbers I'm afraid cotter pins are the best I can do. Not sure where in the book you saw them but a page...

    Used tractor nightmare

    Somehow I feel like you're giving these guys far to much credit with their intent. But even if you're not wrong, stripping the deck of all its safety features ie.breaks, pulley guards etc certainly was not the right way to achieve that goal. But honestly I fail to understand how longer arms...

    Used tractor nightmare

    Used tractor nightmare

    Well I tracked down the other two lift bars and ordered them, and ordered new drive line belts because at this point what the hell right? Tacking another hundred onto my ever growing total. But fingers crossed I'm wrong about the lifting linkage being different between the various decks, and...

    Used tractor nightmare

    Agreed, but I dont currently own a welder, so fabing my own parts isnt as easy as it could be. But regardless it would be like trying to find a switch in the pitch black dark in a room you've never been in before, because I have never seen the part that actually fits outside of the manual...

    Used tractor nightmare

    Ha, well I suppose it all depends on how you would classify "good deal". Did I initially pay a lot, no. I gave him three of the four hundred he was first asking. But did I get it patched up for the cost of a spring? Again, no. After digging through all the purchases, turns out I was off quite a...

    Used tractor nightmare

    Hello all, while I hate to meet new folks under stressful times, I'm certainly glad you've stopped in to hear just how bad of an experience buying a used tractor could be. So I guess I begin with the machine which is a MTD Yard-Man Model 13AC762F755 DOM 4/2007 and I don't know if these next...
